Our bathroom resealing service in EH19
Sealant is the soft line between a bath, shower or worktop and the wall. Once it cracks or goes mouldy, water starts to find its way through. Our team cut the old bead out completely and lay a new one in anti-fungal sanitary silicone. We work on sinks & splashbacks, shower trays & enclosures and wet rooms, and the jobs we see most are water getting behind the bath panel and cracked, shrunken or lifting silicone.
Every visit runs the same way: we check the joints, mask and protect the surrounding surfaces, do the work and tidy away. It normally takes a morning or an afternoon for most single baths and showers.
- Protection goes down around the bath, shower or worktop.
- Old sealant is sliced away and the residue removed.
- Mould is treated, then the joint is left to dry thoroughly.
- Any bath is filled with water, then we lay a bead of anti-fungal silicone in white, clear or a matching colour.
- We finish the joint, clear up and tell you how long to leave it before it gets wet.

Bathroom resealing across EH19: local notes
In EH19, bathroom resealing takes in flats, houses, rentals and businesses, in Bonnyrigg, Lasswade and Newbattle and well beyond. The method is the same everywhere: old material cut out, joints cleaned and dried, and a fresh finish laid.
We work across all of Scotland, from the cities to the islands, and EH19 is part of that. Journeys are planned ahead, and outside jobs are booked around the forecast.
Bonnyrigg: For landlords with property near Eskbank station, a reseal between tenants is a quick way to make the bathroom and kitchen look cared for. For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Lasswade High School Centre, washroom and kitchen sealant there needs the same care as at home, and schools and businesses are part of our work as well as homes.
What happens if it’s left?
A failed joint gets more costly to put right the longer it’s left. Once water is behind the bath, it can reach floorboards, panels and the ceiling underneath, and that is a far bigger job than a reseal.
Comparing quotes
- Are they insured?
- Whether they seal over old material or remove it
- Whether you can choose the colour
- Whether the sealant suits the joint
Keeping the joints in good condition
Simple care keeps the joints in good condition. Our advice:
- Clean with a mild bathroom cleaner and a soft cloth
- Wipe up water along the back of the worktop
- Move toiletries away from the joint
- Avoid abrasive pads on the sealant
Keep water off the new bead until it has cured, which is usually around 24 hours. After that, a quick wipe after showering helps keep it clean.
Watch for the early signs: lifting ends, gaps, dark shadows under the bead or a stain downstairs. Any of these means the joint needs attention.

EH19: your questions answered
Do I have to be there?
For indoor joints, yes, someone needs to let us in. Once we have agreed the job, you do not need to watch us work.
Do you work for letting agents?
Yes. We work for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, businesses and hotels across Midlothian.
Is it worth trying it myself?
Sometimes. Preparation is everything: all the old sealant out, and a clean, dry joint. We can always put it right if it fails.
How long will the resealing take?
A single bath or shower takes about a couple of hours, including cutting out the old sealant. A whole bathroom plus the kitchen may take most of the day.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Several rooms, windows or areas can go on one quote.
Will it make a mess?
No. The area is protected while we work and cleaned up afterwards.
Do you do commercial work?
Yes. We work in offices, washrooms, hotels and other commercial premises, as well as homes. We can talk about working times when we quote.
