Bathroom resealing in Athelstaneford
A shower joint gets soaked every day. Tray edges, screen profiles and wet room joints all rely on silicone to stay watertight. They’re resealed with anti-fungal sanitary silicone, tooled smooth so water runs off instead of sitting in a ridge. We work on sinks & splashbacks, kitchen worktops & upstands and basins & vanity units, and common reasons people get in touch are leaking joints on a shower screen and a reseal done over the top of the old bead.
Being further from a city doesn’t change the work: old material out, joints cleaned and dried, and a fresh, even finish. The journey and access are simply planned in advance.
You get a 12-month guarantee, the same in Athelstaneford as everywhere else we work.

Bathrooms and kitchens in Athelstaneford
Scottish Water supplies are generally soft, so limescale is less of a problem than in hard-water areas. But mould still grows into sealant and grout in a room that doesn’t dry out. Private landlords in Scotland must be registered and meet the Repairing Standard, which includes keeping fixtures and fittings in reasonable repair. Tired, leaking sealant is worth putting right before a new tenant moves in.
Letting a property close to Drem station? Then mouldy sealant is one of the first things a new tenant notices, so it’s worth renewing between lets. If you live in an older home near Parish Church, timber floors under older bathrooms flex, so joints need a sealant that moves with them.

How it works
Our applicators work methodically: protect, prepare, seal, tidy. For most jobs that takes a couple of hours for one bath or shower, or most of a day for a full bathroom and kitchen, and the area is left clean. Around Athelstaneford, distance and access matter more than parking. Tell us how to find the property and how to reach the work.
- Protection goes down around the bath, shower or worktop.
- 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.
- We finish the joint, clear up and tell you how long to leave it before it gets wet.
Getting ready for the visit

Why deal with it now?
Leaving a split or mouldy bead only stores up trouble. Water that gets behind a bath soaks into the floor, the panel and sometimes the ceiling below, and that’s a far bigger job than a reseal. When the nearest tradesperson is a drive away, it’s tempting to leave a small leak, but water behind a failed seal does the most damage when nobody’s watching.
Leaving a failed joint normally makes the job bigger, not smaller, as water and mould keep getting in. If you’re not sure whether it needs doing, email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk for an honest opinion and a quote.

Different surfaces, different methods
Shower trays & enclosures
There are generally two jobs in a shower: the tray-to-wall joint and the enclosure joints. Both take water every day, so each is cut out and renewed with anti-fungal sanitary silicone.
Sinks & splashbacks
Water getting under the rim of an inset sink can soak the worktop. Where the sealant around the visible edge has failed, we renew it.
DIY sealant or a professional job?
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. Silicone does not stick to old silicone, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. Everything old must be removed first.
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions.
How to look after the new joints
No joint lasts for ever, but care makes a real difference. Our tips:
- Open a window or run the fan so the room dries
- Dry worktop joints after washing up
- Use gentle cleaners on the silicone
- Let new sealant cure fully before it gets wet
Keep bottles and razors off the sealant line, as they hold water against it. A quick squeegee after showering keeps water from sitting on the joint.
A split bead lets water through every time the bath or shower is used. Over time that water reaches floors, walls and ceilings. Resealing early stops it.

Where are you based?
Mr Mastic is based in Crawley. We cover Athelstaneford and the rest of East Lothian, along with the rest of our area.
How long will the resealing take?
It depends on how many joints there are and how much old sealant has to come out. Allow a couple of hours for a typical bath or shower.
What do you put in the joint?
Each joint gets the product that suits it. Movement, water and weather all affect the choice, and we’ll tell you what we are using.
Should I try DIY first?
Some simple jobs can be done by a careful DIYer. The usual mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using too much.

We do not publish prices, because the cost depends on the job: how much there is, what’s there now, how we reach it and what it needs. You’ll get a clear quote before we start.
