Prices and what affects them
Prices are worked out job by job. What matters most is:
- How many items we do on one visit
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- The colour and finish to match
We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for West Craigs. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Send pictures for a quote
Phone photos are fine. Ensure they show:
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Any details about the material
- A wider photo showing the whole bath or shower
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
Bath resealing in West Craigs, done in place
Baths are resealed with water in them, so the joint is at its widest, which stops the new seal tearing the first time the bath is used. Our repair technicians work on baths, kitchen worktops & sinks and shower trays & enclosures, and common reasons people get in touch are a messy previous reseal and discoloured, yellow sealant.
Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee.

What a repair cannot fix
In fairness, there are a few things a repair will not fix:
- Very wide gaps that need a trim
- Tiles that move, until they’re refixed
- Rotten walls or floors behind the bath

Should I try a DIY kit first?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

West Craigs questions
What happens next?
You get a fixed price and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.
What does bath resealing cost?
We give a fixed price based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up and a picture of the whole item and your postcode.
Can you reseal over the old silicone?
No, we never seal over old silicone. It’s removed, cleaned off and the joint dried first.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it isn’t worth repairing, we will tell you.
Can you repair several things at once?
Of course, and it usually saves money. Send pictures of everything together and we’ll quote them together.
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses in West Craigs.
How do I stop mould in sealant?
Mould needs moisture. Run the fan, dry the joints and the new seal stays cleaner for longer.
Why does my sealant keep splitting?
Something is moving. If it keeps happening, the support may need fixing.
Resealing in West Craigs: why it matters
Putting new silicone over old does not last. It peels within weeks, and traps mould underneath. A proper reseal removes the old first. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it.

Different materials, different repairs
Baths
Baths are resealed with water in them, to open the joint fully.
Sinks and worktops
We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, with the joint fully dried first.
Do you need bath resealing in West Craigs?
No sealant lasts for ever. Each shower leaves moisture and soap behind, which mould feeds on, and the joint moves slightly every time the bath is filled.
Common reasons people in West Craigs contact us include:
- Gaps in the seal
- Stained silicone
- Missing sealant behind the taps
- Mould you can’t clean out
Before booking anyone

How the visit works
We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you’re not left guessing. Once we’re there, the work takes about two hours for a bath in most cases. The room is left tidy and ready to use once it has cured.
- All the old sealant is cut out and removed.
- We clean the joint and treat any mould.
- We ensure the joint is completely dry.
- We fill a bath with water before sealing so the gap is at its widest.
- We run a new bead of mould-resistant silicone and smooth it neatly, including around the taps.
Before we arrive
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
- Make sure the area is dry
How to get a price
No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.

Aftercare tips
Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:
- Wipe the joints dry after use
- Keep bottles off the joints
- Run the extractor fan during and after showers
- Open a window after bathing
Let it cure fully before using the bath or shower, generally around 24 hours.
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.
