Our bathroom resealing service in EH20
Across EH20, the joints we reseal are the ones that fail in any home: the long edge of the bath, the base of the shower tray, the back of the basin and the line along the worktop. Each one is stripped, cleaned and dried before new silicone goes in. We work on baths, basins & vanity units and wet rooms, and common reasons people get in touch are leaks into the floor or ceiling below and water escaping at the shower enclosure.
Every visit runs the same way: we check the joints, protect the area around them, do the work and clear up. Most jobs take half a day or less for one room, longer when the kitchen is included.
- We cover the area around the joints we’re working on.
- We cut away the old sealant and clean off what’s left.
- Mould is treated, then the joint is left to dry thoroughly.
- Baths are filled first, then anti-fungal sanitary silicone is applied in a colour to suit.
- The joint is finished neatly and we explain when it can get wet.

Local landmarks in Loanhead
Locally, jobs take us to homes and businesses close to Lasswade High School Centre and the streets around them. Loanhead’s nearest station is Eskbank station, roughly 2.9 miles east. Other landmarks nearby include Cameron Toll Shopping Centre (3.3 miles north) and Glencorse Museum (3 miles south-west). Not far away are Caerketton Hill and The New Leaf Co-op.
Where we work in EH20
In EH20, bathroom resealing takes in flats, houses, rentals and businesses, from Bonnyrigg, Loanhead and Burdiehouse to the quieter places in between. Wherever the job is, all the old material comes out before anything new goes in.
Scottish weather is hard on outside joints, especially in the wetter west, while generally soft water means less limescale indoors but no less mould. Sealants for jobs in EH20 are chosen with that in mind.
Loanhead: Schools such as Lasswade High School Centre are buildings too, and 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. Letting a property close to Eskbank station? Then a reseal between tenants is a quick way to make the bathroom and kitchen look cared for.
Honest limits
Some problems need a builder, plumber or other trade rather than us:
- Cracked or missing grout between tiles (that’s regrouting)
- Damage behind the tiles that needs a tiler
- A tray or bath that is cracked through
Signs you need bathroom resealing
Older sealant shrinks and hardens. In kitchens it often shrinks away from the back edge, opening a hairline gap that lets water and crumbs in. Heat from the hob and strong sprays speed it along.
Any of these means the joints need attention:
- Lumpy, uneven sealant from a DIY attempt
- Cracked, shrunken or lifting silicone
- Damp behind the bath or under the tray
- Mouldy sealant that has gone black
Looking after it afterwards
Joint life depends on how it’s used and looked after. Here’s what we suggest:
- Move toiletries away from the joint
- Never pick at the silicone with a blade
- Keep an eye on the corners, where splits start
- Dry worktop joints after washing up
Do not stand bottles along the bead, because they trap water against the silicone. Squeegeeing the walls and tray after use helps the joint dry.
Do not wait for a refit to deal with failed sealant. Like paintwork, sealant needs renewing from time to time, and renewing it as soon as it fails protects everything around it.
Surface by surface
Sinks & splashbacks
Splashbacks in glass, tile or acrylic meet the worktop in a long joint. We renew it in clear, white or a matched colour.
Baths
The long joint down the side of a bath is where most leaks start, particularly where there’s a shower over the bath. We finish it with a single, even bead of anti-fungal silicone.
Should I try it myself first?
Some jobs are best left to a professional: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas need the right product, the right access and the right method.
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions.
