Bruntsfield Bathroom Resealing
We cover Bruntsfield for bath, shower, basin, wet room, worktop and sink resealing. Old material cut out, joints cleaned and sealed neatly and every job guaranteed for a year.
- Failed sealant on the screen profile
- New sealant laid over old sealant that is now lifting
- Mouldy sealant that has gone black
The process
All our tools and materials come with us in the van, so you don’t need to buy or prepare anything. Once we have agreed what’s being done, we protect the area and start. Most jobs take a couple of hours for a single bath or shower. Parking in city streets around Bruntsfield can be tight or controlled, so it helps to know about permits or nearby bays. For flats, mention the door entry system and any shared-stair arrangements.
- Protection goes down around the bath, shower or worktop.
- We cut away the old sealant and clean off what’s left.
- We treat any mould and let the joint dry properly.
- 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.
Getting ready for the visit
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive
- Tell us if parking is tricky
- Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work

About our bathroom resealing in Bruntsfield
The secret of a lasting bead is the preparation. Every bit of old silicone comes out, down to the thin film left on the tiles, after which the joint is degreased and any mould treated. New silicone goes on only when the joint is fully dry. We’re often asked to deal with water getting behind the bath panel and new sealant laid over old sealant that is now lifting, across basins & vanity units, baths and kitchen worktops & upstands.
Bruntsfield is in one of Scotland’s four big cities, where many tenement bathrooms were fitted into rooms that weren’t built for them. Space is tight and ventilation can be poor, which is hard on sealant and grout.
A 12-month guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Bruntsfield
We work for landlords and agents as well as homeowners. Resealing between tenancies is a simple way to keep a property in good order before the next move-in.
We also work for businesses, from offices to washrooms and kitchens. For commercial premises, we can talk through working times when we quote.
Bathrooms and kitchens in Bruntsfield
Bruntsfield is close to the coast. Coastal homes, holiday lets and guest houses can see heavy bathroom use in busy months, which wears sealant and grout out faster than in a quiet home. Edinburgh has a lot of tenement flats, in the Old and New Towns and well beyond, and in a tenement, a leaking seal can reach the neighbours below.
If you live in an older home near Morningside United Church, timber floors under older bathrooms flex, so joints need a sealant that moves with them. For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Boroughmuir High School, 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.
Bruntsfield is about 1 mile south of Edinburgh, in Edinburgh. Every kind of property in Bruntsfield is covered for bathroom resealing, old or new, large or small. The work is guaranteed for a year. Across Edinburgh, we cover 175 places, Bruntsfield among them.

What else we do in Bruntsfield
Why act early in Bruntsfield
The difference in a professional reseal is mostly what you don’t see: removing all the old sealant, degreasing the joint, treating mould and drying it properly. Without that preparation, the new bead will not last. For landlords in Bruntsfield, damp and leaks can be a Repairing Standard issue, so failed sealant is best replaced before it becomes a complaint.
There are no prices on our website, because each job is priced on what it involves. For a quick quote, please email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk and we will talk you through it.

How to look after the new joints
How long the joints last depends on use and care. Here’s what we suggest:
- Squeegee the walls and tray after use
- Check the joints every few months for splits or lifting
- Never pick at the silicone with a blade
- Dry worktop joints after washing up
Have a look at the joints every few months. Small splits and lifting ends are easy to catch early, so if something does not look right, just drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk.
Small signs come before a leak: lifting ends, gaps, dark shadows under the bead or a stain downstairs. Any of these means the joint needs attention.

Bruntsfield: your questions answered
Do you work in hotels near Bruntsfield?
Yes. Hotel and guest-house work is part of what we do. Work can be planned room by room, and out-of-hours working can be arranged.
I’m in a tenement in Bruntsfield. Could worn sealant affect the flat downstairs?
Yes, it can. In a tenement, water that gets past failed sealant or cracked grout can run under the bath or tray and through to the ceiling below, and then the repair involves your neighbours too. It’s worth sorting sealant and grout before it gets that far.
What do you need from me for a quote?
A short description and the location. If we need more, we will ask.
Do you hold any approvals?
Yes. We’re approved under the ARBOMaster scheme, the approved applicator scheme for Arbo sealants.
Does someone need to be in?
If the work is inside, we need someone to let us in. Once we have agreed the job, you don’t need to watch us work.
Do you reseal kitchen worktops and sinks too?
Yes. The old sealant is cut out and the joint degreased, because cooking grease stops silicone sticking, then a colour-matched bead is laid.
How long will the resealing take?
That depends on the number of joints and the state of the old sealant. Allow a couple of hours for a typical bath or shower.
Are you fully insured?
Yes, we are fully insured.
Signs you need bathroom resealing in Bruntsfield
The wrong product fails fast. Acrylic caulk and general-purpose sealants aren’t designed for a joint that is wet every day, so they stain, crack or go mouldy before long. Wet areas call for a sanitary silicone with an anti-fungal additive.
If you can see any of these, it’s time to have the joints looked at:
- A messy, uneven bead from a previous reseal
- Two layers of silicone, both failing
- Splits where the tray meets the wall
- A bead that has pulled away from the tiles
Rented homes near Haymarket 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.
Questions to ask before booking
- How hidden problems are handled
- How much experience the applicator has
- Which colour the sealant will be
- Is the old sealant removed completely?
When something else is needed
Honest advice matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what sealant can’t fix:
- Damage behind the tiles that needs a tiler
- A leaking waste, trap or valve
- Water getting in through the grout rather than the sealant
Not sure which it is? You can email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk and we will tell you honestly.
