When a repair isn’t the answer
We will not take on work that will not last, so these are the limits:
- Very wide gaps that need a trim
- Tiles that move, until they’re refixed
- Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder

Keeping it looking good
So the finish stays in good condition for years:
- Reseal at the first sign of lifting
- Give the seal a regular clean
- Open a window after bathing
- Run the extractor fan during and after showers
Use the extractor fan, wipe the joints dry after use, and give them a regular clean with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.
Mouldy sealant is more than a cosmetic problem; it shows moisture is getting in. An early reseal keeps water where it belongs.
Is resealing worth it?
A professional reseal costs little compared with water damage. 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. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

West Pilton questions
How long before I can shower?
Normally about a day later. We confirm before we leave.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.
Is my repair covered?
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Do you cover the whole of Edinburgh?
The whole UK, including all of Edinburgh. Send your postcode with your photos and we will offer you dates.
Do you seal over the old sealant?
No, we never seal over old silicone. It’s removed, cleaned off and the joint dried first.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
We review the photos and send a fixed quote with dates.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
Do you come to West Pilton?
Yes, we do. We send a technician to West Pilton for every job, with no extra charge for travel.
Can I fix it myself?
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
