Bath Resealing for Edinburgh homes
We travel to Edinburgh for bath, shower and sink resealing with new mould-resistant silicone. Everything is done in place, with a one-year guarantee.
- Sealant that has split or peeled
- Black mould in the sealant
- Yellowed or stained mastic
Bath resealing in Edinburgh without replacing anything
We remove all the old sealant first, since new sealant won’t stick to old silicone. For baths, we fill the bath with water before sealing, so the joint doesn’t tear when the bath is next used. Our technicians work on baths, kitchen worktops & sinks and basins & vanity units, and common reasons people get in touch are messy, uneven old sealant and yellowed or stained mastic.
You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Edinburgh as everywhere else we work. Use the extractor fan, wipe the joints dry after use, and give them a regular clean with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.
What happens on the day
When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job usually takes a couple of hours. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.
- First we strip out every bit of the old mastic.
- The joint is cleaned and any mould treated.
- The joint is dried thoroughly.
- For a bath, we fill it with water first so the joint is at its widest.
- We apply new mould-resistant silicone and tool it to a neat finish, including around the taps.
Getting ready for the visit
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

Why it’s worth resealing in Edinburgh
Resealing is a small job. Leaving split or mouldy sealant can let water reach the walls and floor, which costs far more to put right. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

Edinburgh and the surrounding area
Edinburgh is in Scotland. We travel to homes and businesses in Edinburgh and nearby villages, so there’s no workshop to go to. We cover all 175 towns and villages in Edinburgh.
Our technicians cover all of EH4, EH14, EH12 and EH6 and the streets around it. That includes homes on Fountainbridge Square, Conference Square and Mcewan Square and the roads around them. Edinburgh is on the A1 and A7, so it’s easy for us to reach. Close by, we cover West End (1 mile north-west), Bruntsfield (1 mile south), Merchiston (1 mile south), Dalry (1 mile west) and Greenhill (1 mile south).

Green spaces nearby include Salisbury Crags and Dunsapie Loch.
When to call us in Edinburgh
Sealant doesn’t last forever. Every bath or shower adds moisture and soap residue, which mould loves, and the joint flexes each time the bath fills. Over time it splits, peels or turns black.
People usually call us when they notice one of these:
- Messy, uneven old sealant
- Yellowed or stained mastic
- Gaps letting water behind the bath
- Black mould in the sealant
What your quote should include
- A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
- When it can be used again
- What aftercare is recommended
- How your room will be protected
Common questions in Edinburgh
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Can new sealant go over the old?
No. New sealant won’t stick to old silicone, and mould underneath keeps growing, so it all comes out first.
Do you protect the room?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and clean up when we finish.
What guarantee do I get?
All our work carries our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
How soon can I use it again?
Usually the same day or the next, depending on what we’ve done. We’ll confirm the exact time when we finish.
When can I use the bath?
Normally after about 24 hours, depending on the product. We’ll confirm on the day.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes, usually. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.
When we’d advise against a repair
A repair isn’t always the answer, and we’ll tell you before we start. We can’t fix:
- Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder
- Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing
- Loose tiles, which need refixing first
Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.
