Bathroom resealing in Broomhouse, done properly
Sealant is the soft line between a bath, shower or worktop and the wall. When it splits, shrinks or turns black, water gets behind it into walls, panels and floors. Our team cut the old bead out completely and lay a new one in anti-fungal sanitary silicone. If you are dealing with cracked, shrunken or lifting silicone and a reseal done over the top of the old bead, we can put it right, on sinks & splashbacks, baths and shower trays & enclosures alike.
From stone-built tenements to new flats and suburban houses, Broomhouse is in a city with every kind of home. Generally soft Scottish water means less limescale, but steam and poor ventilation still let mould into the sealant and grout.
A 12-month guarantee comes as standard.

How we quote for bathroom resealing
Some jobs are bigger than they look, and some smaller. What affects the quote:
- The old material and how stubborn it is
- Whether the work is at height
- Working hours on commercial sites
- The size of the job
What it costs depends on how much there is to do, how much old material has to come out and access to the work. We give a clear quote before any work starts, so you know where you stand.
Helping us quote
To help us quote quickly, let us know:
- The address or postcode of the job
- How many joints, rooms or windows are involved
- What’s wrong with the joints now
- If it’s domestic, commercial or a hotel

How it works
There isn’t much for you to do on the day. Show us the job and we’ll take it from there. The work itself takes around two hours for one bath or shower, longer for a whole bathroom. In a Scottish city, a lot of jobs are in tenement flats, up a common stair from a shared close. For a job in Broomhouse, tell us the floor, how the door entry system works and where we can park nearby.
- First the area is protected and every bit of old sealant removed, including the film left on the tiles.
- We clean and degrease the joint and treat any mould.
- Once it’s dry, any bath is filled so the bead is laid with it at its heaviest.
- New anti-fungal silicone goes on in a colour to suit and is tooled to a clean finish.
- Finally we tidy up and explain the cure time before we leave.
Before we arrive
- On commercial sites, let us know about site rules
- Let us know if you’ve seen damp or leaks
- Tell us if parking is tricky
How to get a quote
Getting a quote is simple: let us know what needs doing and where and its rough size. Photos by email help us understand the job.
Advice
Broomhouse homes and their sealant
Tenement flats are common across Edinburgh, and in a tenement, a leaking seal can reach the neighbours below. In Scotland, private landlords have to meet the Repairing Standard, which covers keeping fixtures and fittings in a reasonable state of repair. Failed sealant around a bath or shower is worth sorting between tenancies.
Homes close to St Joseph's RC Church include some older properties, and older homes can move a little, which is hard on rigid grout and tired sealant. Rented homes near Kingsknowe station change hands often, and mouldy sealant is one of the first things a new tenant notices, so it’s worth renewing between lets.
Broomhouse is about 3 miles west of Edinburgh, in Edinburgh. We provide bathroom resealing to homeowners, landlords and businesses in Broomhouse. Broomhouse is one of 175 places in Edinburgh where we work.
Every address in EH11, EH12 and EH14 is covered for bathroom resealing. If you need bathroom resealing at a property on Roull Road, Calder Road and Saughton Road or a nearby road, we can help. We also cover the places around Broomhouse: Sighthill (1 mile south-west), Saughton (1 mile east), Carrick Knowe (1 mile north-east), Wester Hailes (1 mile south) and South Gyle (1 mile north-west).

Landmarks near Broomhouse
Locally, jobs take us to homes and businesses close to Saughton Park and Merchiston Castle School, among other places. Broomhouse’s nearest station is Kingsknowe station, roughly 0.9 miles south-east of the centre. Nearby you’ll also find Craigcrook Castle (1.9 miles north) and The Gyle Shopping Centre (1.5 miles north-west). Green spaces nearby include Corstorphine Hill and The New Leaf Co-op.
What happens if it’s left?
Leaving a split or mouldy bead only stores up trouble. 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. In a Scottish city tenement, failed sealant affects more than one flat: a leak can come through the ceiling below, and gaps in shared walls or fire-rated joints matter to every flat.
Combining jobs into one visit generally makes better use of the time than several visits. You will get one clear quote for the whole job.

What we are called out for in Broomhouse
Mould is the reason many people want their sealant replaced. Steamy rooms that don’t dry out keep the silicone damp for hours, and once it has grown into the bead, cleaning rarely gets it out.
The problems people normally mention when they call are:
- Damp behind the bath or under the tray
- Mouldy sealant that has gone black
- Splits where the tray meets the wall
- Smears of silicone across the tiles
Schools such as Forrester High School are buildings too, and we reseal washrooms and kitchens in schools and businesses as well as homes.
Before booking anyone
- What preparation is included
- Are they insured?
- What guarantee comes with the work
- Is the old sealant removed completely?
DIY sealant or a professional job?
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that is fine. We cut it out and start again, so tell us about it when you ask for a quote.

Common questions in Broomhouse
Could a leaking bath seal in my Broomhouse flat reach the neighbours below?
It can. Tenement floors are normally timber, and water from a failed seal can find its way down to the flat below. Replacing tired sealant early is the simplest way to avoid that.
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Kingsknowe station?
Yes, we work for letting agents and landlords. You can drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk with the address and a few details, and we’ll give you a fixed price before we start.
How long before the new sealant can get wet?
Usually after around 24 hours. We’ll tell you the cure time for the product we used.
What do you need from me for a quote?
Only a few details: where it is, what you’ve noticed and how we reach it. After that, simply drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk.
Is it messy?
No. We protect the surfaces around the joints, and we tidy up before we go.
Which products do you use?
Each joint gets the product that suits it. Where it moves, gets wet or faces the weather makes a difference, and we’ll tell you what we’re using.
Do you cover Broomhouse?
Yes. We work in Broomhouse. To book, drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk.
Do I have to be there?
If the work is inside, we need someone to let us in. Once we’ve agreed the job, you do not need to watch us work.
