Bath Resealing for Swanston homes
We travel to Swanston for bath, shower and sink resealing with new mould-resistant silicone. Nothing is taken out, and the work is guaranteed.
- Black mould in the sealant
- A messy previous reseal
- Silicone coming away from the tiles
About our bath resealing in Swanston
A fresh seal protects your bathroom. Failed sealant lets water get where it shouldn’t, and a new seal stops it. Common call-outs are for old sealant that looks dirty and missing sealant behind the taps, in basins & vanity units, wet rooms and baths.
Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before booking.

How it works
When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job generally takes a couple of hours. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- The old silicone is cut out completely.
- We remove the residue and clean the joint.
- Any mould is treated and the joint dried.
- We fill the bath, or weight the tray, to open the joint.
- New mould-resistant silicone is applied and tooled neatly.
Getting ready for the visit
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
Getting a price
No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.

Your questions about bath resealing in Swanston
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses in Swanston.
Do you cover the entire of Edinburgh?
We cover the whole UK, including Swanston and the rest of Edinburgh. Send your postcode with your photos and we’ll confirm dates.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.
Why does mould come back so fast?
Damp is the cause. Run the fan, dry the joints and the new seal stays cleaner for longer.
Can you reseal over the old silicone?
Never over old. It’s removed, cleaned off and the joint dried first.
Is there a call-out fee?
No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Can you quote from pictures?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures cannot show what we need.
Is my repair covered?
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Work for landlords and builders
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
Letting agents often send us pictures straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
What your bath or shower is made of matters
Baths
We fill the bath before sealing, to open the joint fully.
Shower trays
We put weight on a tray before sealing it, for the same reason.

Resealing in Swanston: why it matters
Resealing is a small job. Putting off a reseal lets water get behind the bath or tray, which costs far more to put right. A repair normally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
Why book with us
- Honest advice, even when it means no job
- One visit for most repairs
- No extra charge for your area

Keeping it looking good
Looking after the surface is easy:
- Use the extractor fan
- Keep the joints dry
- Reseal when black spots won’t clean off
- Keep bottles off the joints
Use the extractor fan, wipe the joints dry after use, and give them a regular clean with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.
Reseal before water gets in. Gaps or lifting edges mean it needs doing.
What a repair cannot fix
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing
- A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed
- Tiles that move, until they’re refixed
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before booking.
