About our bathroom resealing in Arniston
A shower joint gets soaked every day. Trays, enclosures, screen profiles and wet room floors all need a flexible, waterproof seal. Each gets a bead of anti-fungal sanitary silicone, tooled smooth so water runs off instead of sitting in a ridge. We work on wet rooms, shower trays & enclosures and kitchen worktops & upstands, and common reasons people get in touch are two layers of silicone, both failing and lumpy, uneven sealant from a DIY attempt.
Being further from a city does not change the work: old material out, joints cleaned and dried, and a fresh, even finish. The journey and access are simply planned in advance.
There’s a 12-month guarantee on every job, whatever its size.

How the job changes by surface
Baths
Most bath leaks begin along the long edge, especially under a shower. It gets one smooth bead of anti-fungal silicone.
Basins & vanity units
Basin joints are short and close to eye level: so we keep the line tidy and even, in white, clear or a colour to suit.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Arniston
We also work for businesses, from offices to washrooms and kitchens. On commercial sites, working times can be discussed when we quote.
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Tell us the address, the job and how access works.
How it works
Most of a good job is in the preparation, so that’s where we spend the time. Joints are cleaned back and dried before anything new goes in. All told, the work takes two to three hours for a typical bath, depending on how much old sealant there is. Outdoor work around Arniston depends on the weather, as sealant needs a dry surface, so an outdoor job can move if the forecast changes. Indoor work goes ahead whatever the weather.
- We look at every joint first and check for movement or leaks.
- Every trace of the old bead is removed, including the thin smear on the tiles.
- The joint is cleaned, degreased and treated for mould.
- With the joint dry, and any bath loaded with water, a single bead of anti-fungal silicone is applied.
- We tool the bead to a neat finish and give you the cure time, generally around 24 hours.
Before we arrive
- Mention any sign-in or site rules at work premises
- Move anything stored near the joints
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children

Advice
DIY versus a professional finish
If you do try it yourself, take your time over the preparation: remove every trace of old sealant, clean and dry the joint, and follow the product’s cure time. If it does not work out, we can still put it right.
A DIY attempt does not rule out a professional job. We cut it out and start again, so tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
Questions from Arniston
Do you work for landlords with property near Gorebridge station?
Yes. We work for landlords and agents as well as householders, and several properties can be quoted together. Just email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk with the address and what needs doing, and we’ll send you a clear quote.
Is Arniston in your area for bathroom resealing?
Yes. Our work covers the whole of Scotland, and Arniston is part of that. You can send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk and tell us what needs doing.
Can you work on commercial sites?
Yes. Hotels, offices and other businesses use us.
How long does the new silicone need before I use the shower?
Around 24 hours is typical, and we confirm the time for the product used. Getting it wet too early can spoil the new joint.
Which products do you use?
Products from Arbo and Everbuild, among others, picked for each joint. We explain the product when we quote.
My sealant has gone black. Can you sort it?
Yes. The old sealant comes out, the mould is treated, and we reseal with anti-fungal sanitary silicone.
Will it make a mess?
Very little: the area around the joints is protected first, and we tidy up before we go.
Can you quote for more than one area?
Yes. Several rooms, windows or areas can go on one quote.

Why deal with it now?
Tired sealant isn’t a reason to replace a bath or shower. Replacing the joint is generally all it takes, as long as the fittings themselves are sound. If something else is wrong, we’ll tell you. In a place like Arniston, small leaks are easy to put off, but water behind a failed seal does the most damage when nobody’s watching.
Some things make a job bigger or smaller: how much old sealant there is and how stubborn it is, whether mould needs treating, and whether the work is at height. Your quote takes all of that into account.
Why us?
- 12-month guarantee on every job
- 20+ years of sealant experience
- A choice of colours where the product allows

What bathroom resealing looks like in Arniston
In Scotland, private landlords have to meet the Repairing Standard, which includes keeping fixtures and fittings in reasonable repair. Failed sealant around a bath or shower is worth sorting between tenancies. Scottish Water supplies are generally soft, so limescale is less of a problem than in hard-water areas. Mould is another matter: a bathroom that stays damp still turns sealant and grout black.
If you live in an older home near Hunterfield Road Church, timber floors under older bathrooms flex, so joints need a sealant that moves with them. If you let a flat or house near Gorebridge station, a reseal between tenants is a quick way to make the bathroom and kitchen look cared for.
