Bath resealing at your home in West Leith
We reseal baths with them filled with water, so the joint is at its widest, which stops the new seal tearing the first time the bath is used. Typical jobs include leaks at the edges and missing sealant behind the taps, in basins & vanity units, baths and shower trays & enclosures.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.

The process
Once we’re through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes around two hours, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- The surrounding area is protected and the joints masked.
- Old sealant and residue are removed.
- The joint is cleaned, treated and dried.
- We run a continuous bead of new silicone.
- The bead is smoothed, the tape removed and the seal left to cure.
Preparing for the visit
- Clear the area around the damage
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Make sure the area is dry

Advice
How to care for the repair
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Air the room after use
- Replace the seal when mould sets in
- Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
- Keep the joints dry
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. It may be more than a reseal, so we will tell you if it needs a builder or plumber.
Repairs by material
Shower trays
Trays are sealed with weight on them, so the joint is at its widest.
Baths
Baths are resealed with water in them, so the joint is at its widest.

West Leith: your questions answered
Is there any odour?
Expect a mild smell while we are working that clears as it cures.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
Do you cover West Leith?
Yes, we do. We send a technician to West Leith for every job, with no extra charge for travel.
What areas do you cover?
Everywhere in the UK, West Leith included. There’s no extra charge for travel.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
What information do you need?
Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include photos of each item.
