How we handle bathroom resealing in Colinton Mains
A bead that has gone black, split or come away is worth sorting before it lets water through. Just send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk with a photo of the joints, and we’ll send you a clear quote before any work starts. We’re often asked to deal with water getting behind the kitchen upstand and water getting behind the bath panel, across shower trays & enclosures, baths and wet rooms.
Tenement flats are common in all four of Scotland’s big cities, alongside houses and newer flats. In a tenement, most bathrooms sit above someone else’s ceiling, so failed sealant around a bath or shower can soon become a neighbour’s problem.
There’s a 12-month guarantee on every job.

Surface by surface
Baths
Most bath leaks begin along the long edge, especially under a shower. It gets one smooth bead of anti-fungal silicone.
Shower trays & enclosures
If a tray moves underfoot, new silicone will not last. We check for movement before we reseal, and tell you if it needs re-bedding first.
Why deal with it now?
Tired sealant is not a reason to replace a bath or shower. A new bead often brings the whole room back, provided the bath, tray and tiles are in good order. If something else is wrong, we’ll tell you. In a tenement flat in Colinton Mains, a failed seal is rarely just your problem: a leak can come through the ceiling below, and gaps in shared walls or fire-rated joints matter to every flat.
Doing several joints on one visit is generally more efficient than separate visits, so it’s worth mentioning everything you’d like done. We’ll send you a clear quote for the lot.
What you get with us
- A 12-month guarantee on all work
- Approved under the ARBOMaster scheme

How it works
When we arrive, we start by going over the job with you. We protect the surfaces around the joints before any work starts. Most jobs take a morning or an afternoon for most single baths and showers. In a Scottish city, a lot of jobs are in tenement flats, up a common stair from a shared close. In Colinton Mains, it helps to know the floor, the door entry arrangements and the nearest parking.
- We cover the area around the joints we’re working on.
- 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.
Preparing for the visit
- For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can
- Mention any sign-in or site rules at work premises
- Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints

Advice
What bathroom resealing looks like in Colinton Mains
Private landlords in Scotland must be registered and 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. 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 does not dry out.
Rented homes near Slateford station change hands often, and a reseal between tenants is a quick way to make the bathroom and kitchen look cared for. If you look after a building such as Firrhill High School, we reseal washrooms and kitchens in schools and businesses as well as homes. For an older house near a landmark such as St Johns Colinton Mains Church, walls and floors in older homes can move, and sealant and grout show it first.

Looking after it afterwards
Simple care keeps the joints in good condition. Our advice:
- Keep bottles off the sealant line
- Use gentle cleaners on the silicone
- Give the silicone its full cure time
- Don’t leave water standing on kitchen joints
Mould needs damp, so keep the room aired. Run the extractor fan during and after a shower, so the bead dries out between uses.
Watch for the early signs: a corner lifting, a gap behind the bead, a dark line under the silicone or a damp patch on the ceiling below. Any of these means the joint needs attention.

Do you guarantee your resealing?
Yes. Our one-year guarantee covers every job, and we are fully insured.
Can you just seal over the old silicone?
No. New silicone will not bond to old silicone, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. All the old sealant comes out first.
What sealant do you use?
We choose the sealant for the joint, not the other way round. Movement, water and weather all affect the choice, and we’ll tell you what we are using.
Is it worth trying it myself?
That depends on the joint. High-level, external movement and fire-rated joints are professional jobs.
Where is Mr Mastic based?
Our base is in Crawley, and we cover South East England, London and all of Scotland.
How long will the resealing take?
A single bath or shower takes about a couple of hours, old sealant removal included. A full bathroom and kitchen can take most of a day.
