Resealing in Wester Pencaitland: why it matters
Sealing over old silicone is a false economy. It soon peels, and mould stays trapped behind it. A proper reseal removes the old first. The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Sinks and worktops
Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, once the joint is completely dry.
Shower trays
We put weight on a tray before sealing it, so the joint is at its widest.
Landlord and trade work in Wester Pencaitland
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.
Can I fix it myself?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

What else we do in Wester Pencaitland
Wester Pencaitland: your questions answered
Do the materials smell?
A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.
Can landlords book you?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.

Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
How long does silicone take to cure?
You’ll get the curing time from us.
How long will it take?
Most reseals take about two hours. Leave it to cure before use.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Nearly always. If pictures do not show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.
Why does my sealant keep splitting?
The bath or tray is probably flexing. Persistent splitting can mean the support needs attention.

Looking after it afterwards
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
- Use the extractor fan
- Store bottles on a shelf
- Reseal when black spots will not clean off
Do not scrape the sealant with anything sharp, and do not stand bottles on the seal.
Mouldy sealant is more than a cosmetic problem; it shows moisture is getting in. Resealing early keeps water out of the walls and floor.
How the visit works
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, do the job and clear up. Allow a couple of hours 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.
- Next we clean the joint and deal with mould.
- We ensure the joint is completely dry.
- For a bath, we fill it 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
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Let us know about parking or access
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
