Why reseal now?
Compared with repairing water damage, resealing is cheap. It’s a quick job that protects your walls and floors. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own.

About our bath resealing in Slateford
A proper reseal starts with removing every trace of the old silicone. Fresh sealant does not stick to old, which is why many DIY jobs peel. We regularly repair kitchen worktops & sinks, baths and shower trays & enclosures, and common reasons people contact us are discoloured, yellow sealant and gaps in the seal.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
How we price bath resealing
Prices are worked out job by job. What matters most is:
- How many areas need work
- How easy the damage is to reach
- The material
- How many items we do on one visit
What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.
Send pictures for a quote
Phone photos are fine. Just make sure we can see:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
Email us a picture of the damage and one of the entire item, and tell us you are in Slateford, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.
Landlord and trade work in Slateford
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, pictures and access details and we’ll handle the rest.
If you manage property in Slateford, we will quote for several properties at once. Send pictures for each one and we will price them together.
What we cannot put right
We would rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:
- Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing
- Tiles that move, until they’re refixed
- Movement in the bath or tray
Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer before booking.

Slateford questions
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote with dates.
Which areas do you work in?
We cover the whole UK, including Slateford and the rest of Edinburgh. Send your postcode with your pictures and we will offer you dates.
Why does mould come back so fast?
Normally poor ventilation and moisture sitting on the joint. Mould-resistant silicone and good ventilation help.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.
Is there a call-out fee?
There is no separate call-out charge. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.
How soon can you come?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send photos with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.
Are you accredited?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
When can I use the bath after resealing?
Normally about a day later. We will tell you the exact time.
What happens on the day
We begin by going over the job with you, so you know exactly what we’re doing. Then the area is sheeted and masked and we start. Allow around two hours.
- The old silicone is cut out completely.
- Residue is removed and the joint cleaned.
- Any mould is treated and the joint dried.
- The bath is filled with water, or weight put on the tray.
- We apply fresh mould-resistant silicone and tool a neat bead.
Getting ready for the visit
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Ensure the area is dry
Getting a price
Most clients in Slateford get their price from photos. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.
Related advice
How to care for the repair
How the surface is treated afterwards matters:
- Store bottles on a shelf
- Replace the seal when mould sets in
- Let steam out after showers
- Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
Run the extractor fan, dry the joints after bathing, and give them a regular clean with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.
Damp below or loose tiles need checking quickly. There may be more going on, so we will tell you if it needs a builder or plumber.
