Honest limits
Sealant is not the answer to every problem, and we will tell you before we start. Sealant will not put right:
- Water coming from the plumbing rather than the joint
- Loose or hollow tiles, or failed tanking behind them
- Failed grout lines across the wall
If in doubt, drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk and we will say what we think.
Surfaces we seal
- Shower trays & enclosures
- Basins & vanity units
- Wet rooms
- Kitchen worktops & upstands
- Baths
- Sinks & splashbacks
Bathroom resealing in Brunstane
It is not only bathrooms. The joint between worktop and wall, the edge of the sink and the bottom of the splashback get wet every single day, and water behind a laminate worktop can make it swell. We reseal them with a kitchen-suitable silicone, matched to the worktop where it’s on show. Typical jobs include a reseal done over the top of the old bead and leaking joints on a shower screen, on shower trays & enclosures, wet rooms and sinks & splashbacks.
In Scotland’s cities, including the area around Brunstane, many older flats had their bathrooms added into small rooms later on. Space is tight and ventilation can be poor, which is hard on sealant and grout.
Our work is backed for twelve months, in Brunstane and everywhere else we cover.

Questions from Brunstane
Do you work for landlords with property near Brunstane station?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for. Just drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk with the address and what needs doing, and we will give you a clear price.
Could a leaking bath seal in my Brunstane flat reach the neighbours below?
Yes, and the first sign is often a mark on the ceiling below. Cutting out the old sealant and laying a fresh bead puts a stop to it.
Can you reseal around my kitchen sink and worktop?
Yes. Worktops, sinks and splashbacks are all part of the job, with a sealant suited to kitchens, colour-matched where it shows.
Which products do you use?
Quality sealants from brands including Arbo and Everbuild, picked for each joint. We’ll tell you what we are using and why.
Can you work on commercial sites?
Yes. Commercial and hotel work is a large part of what we do, as well as homes. Working times can be discussed when we quote.
How long before the new sealant can get wet?
The surface skins over fairly quickly, but the bead needs longer to cure right through. Keep water off it for around 24 hours, or follow the cure time we give you.
Are you insured?
Yes. We’re fully insured for domestic and commercial work.
Do you take out the old sealant first?
Yes. All of the old material is cut out and the joint cleaned.
Landlord and commercial work in Brunstane
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Tell us the address, the job and how access works.
Failed sealant is one of the commonest items on a check-out report. Several properties can be quoted together.
DIY versus a professional finish
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.
Some jobs are best left to a professional: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
Bathrooms and kitchens in Brunstane
Brunstane is within about 1 mile of the coast. Coastal homes, holiday lets and guest houses can see heavy bathroom use in busy months, and sealant and grout that work that hard wear out sooner. In Scotland, private landlords have to meet the Repairing Standard, which covers keeping fixtures and fittings in a reasonable state of repair. Tired, leaking sealant is worth putting right before a new tenant moves in.
Schools such as Portobello High School 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. In the older streets around St Philip's Parish Church, timber floors under older bathrooms flex, so joints need a sealant that moves with them.

What we are called out for in Brunstane
Older sealant shrinks and hardens. Along worktops it tends to pull back from the wall, leaving a thin gap where water and food collect. Heat from the hob and strong sprays speed it along.
These are the problems we are asked about most:
- Leaks into the floor or ceiling below
- Gaps between the worktop and the wall
- Black spots spreading through the bead
- Splits where the tray meets the wall
Rented homes near Brunstane station change hands often, and fresh sealant around the bath, shower and sink between tenancies helps a property present well and keeps leaks at bay.
Before you book anyone
- Whether they’re fully insured
- How long the guarantee is
- Which colour the sealant will be
- How the joint is cleaned and prepared
Different surfaces, different methods
Shower trays & enclosures
Shower trays are sealed to the wall, and enclosures are sealed to the tray and tiles. Both get soaked every time the shower runs, so both are resealed with anti-fungal sanitary silicone.
Sinks & splashbacks
Around the sink, we use a product suited to kitchens, including a food-safe sealant where that is needed. The joint is laid neatly so it’s easy to wipe.
