Bath & shower resealing (mastic) in Willowbrae, Edinburgh
We travel to Willowbrae for bath, shower and sink resealing with new mould-resistant silicone. Nothing is taken out, and the work is guaranteed.
- Leaks at the edges
- Black spots in the silicone
- An untidy old seal
How we handle bath resealing in Willowbrae
A proper reseal starts with removing every trace of the old silicone. New silicone won’t bond to old, which is why many DIY jobs peel. Our repair technicians work on baths, basins & vanity units and wet rooms, and people most frequently call us about gaps in the seal and missing sealant behind the taps.
You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Willowbrae as everywhere else we work.

Why it’s worth resealing in Willowbrae
A reseal is one of the cheapest bathroom jobs there is and protects the walls and floor. Leaving failed sealant can let water cause damage that costs far more to fix. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

How the visit works
On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job normally takes around two hours. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- The surrounding area is protected and the joints masked.
- We remove the old sealant and every trace of residue.
- The joint is cleaned, treated and dried.
- Fresh silicone is applied in a continuous bead.
- The bead is smoothed, the tape removed and the seal left to cure.
Before we arrive
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
Getting a price
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole bath or shower, we can price the job the same day in most cases.
Advice
Different materials, different repairs
Shower trays
We put weight on a tray before sealing it, for the same reason.
Baths
We fill the bath before sealing, so the joint is at its widest.
Questions from Willowbrae
Will the price change on the day?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
My seal keeps tearing. Why?
Usually because the bath or tray moves. We seal baths full of water.
How do I book?
Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.
Is it messy?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
Do you charge for travel?
Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Is my repair covered?
Yes: twelve months. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
You get a fixed price and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.
How to care for the repair
Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:
- Keep the joints dry
- Keep bottles off the joints
- Run the extractor fan during and after showers
- Give the seal a regular clean
Don’t scrape the sealant with anything sharp, and do not stand bottles on the seal.
Mouldy sealant is more than a cosmetic problem. An early reseal keeps water where it belongs.

Prices and what affects them
There is no area surcharge for Willowbrae. The price reflects:
- How much damage there is
- What kind of damage it is
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.
How to get a fixed price
Most quotes are done from photos alone. To help us price it:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- A picture taken from further back
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
When to call us in Willowbrae
Most reseals are because of black mould. It grows into the sealant itself, so cleaning cannot get it all out.
Send us a picture if you notice any of these:
- Old sealant that looks dirty
- Unsealed corners
- Damp near the bath
- An untidy old seal
What to look for in a quote
- Whether the price covers travel
- What happens if they find more damage
- What aftercare is recommended
- What prep work is covered
DIY repairs versus a professional job
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
