Bath & shower resealing (mastic) in Timber Bush, Edinburgh
Fixed-price bath resealing in Timber Bush and the surrounding area, normally in one visit and guaranteed for a year.
- Old sealant that looks dirty
- Silicone smeared on tiles
- Gaps by the taps
DIY kit or professional repair?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
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, it’s worth having it done properly.
How we handle bath resealing in Timber Bush
Baths, trays, basins and kitchen worktops all get resealed. Most jobs take a couple of hours, plus curing time. If you’re dealing with leaks at the edges and sealant that’s split or lifting, we can typically put it right, whatever the material.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

The process
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and clear up. Allow about two hours for a bath from start to finish. Before we go, we will explain how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.
- All the old sealant is cut out and removed.
- The joint is cleaned and any mould treated.
- We dry the joint thoroughly.
- Baths are filled with water first, so the joint is at its widest.
- We run a new bead of mould-resistant silicone and smooth it neatly, taps included.
Before we arrive
- Clear the area around the damage
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Have a window or extractor fan available

Looking after it afterwards
Looking after the surface is easy:
- Let steam out after showers
- Wipe the joints dry after use
- Use the extractor fan
- Reseal when black spots won’t clean off
Good ventilation is the best protection, and wipe the joints after use.
If you notice damp, stains on the ceiling below or loose tiles, act quickly. There may be more going on, and we’ll say if you need a builder or plumber.

What bath resealing costs
You will not pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- How many items we do on one visit
- The size and number of damaged areas
- The colour and finish to match
- Access to the area
We don’t add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
How to get a fixed price
Two or three clear photos are normally enough. It helps if you send:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- One picture of the entire bath or shower
- The material, if you know it
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath or shower, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

Is resealing worth it?
A reseal is one of the cheapest bathroom jobs there is. Leaving failed sealant can let water cause damage that costs far more to fix. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing typically costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
