Bathroom Resealing in Comiston
We cover Comiston for bath, shower, basin, wet room, worktop and sink resealing. Old material cut out, joints cleaned and sealed neatly.
- A messy, uneven bead from a previous reseal
- Gaps where the bath or tray has moved
- Failed sealant on the screen profile
How we handle bathroom resealing in Comiston
Sealant that is mouldy, cracked or peeling shouldn’t be left until there’s a leak. Just drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk with a photo of the joints, and we will give you a clear price before any work starts. If you’re dealing with black mould in the silicone that won’t clean off and gaps between the worktop and the wall, we can help, on sinks & splashbacks, shower trays & enclosures and baths alike.
Tenement flats are common in all four of Scotland’s big cities, alongside houses and newer flats. With flats above and below, a leak from a tired seal can reach the flat underneath.
You get a 12-month guarantee, the same in Comiston as everywhere else we work.

What happens if it’s left?
Running new silicone over the old joint can look tidy for a few weeks, but it won’t bond. It lifts, traps water and grows mould behind it. Wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint on the outside of a city building, and in Comiston, damp can spread through stone and plaster before anyone sees it.
Every job is a little different, so we quote each one individually. The number of joints, how easy they are to reach and the sealant needed all play a part, and we’ll explain the quote if you ask.

What else we do in Comiston
How it works
When we get to you, we compare the joints with what we discussed. If anything is different, we explain it before carrying on. Most jobs then take a couple of hours for a single bath or shower. Inside a flat in Comiston, the job is planned with you; outside, shared parts may need the factor or other owners involved. Tell us which applies when you book.
- First the area is protected and every bit of old sealant removed, including the film left on the tiles.
- The joint is cleaned, degreased and treated for mould.
- The joint is left to dry, and baths are filled with water first.
- New anti-fungal silicone goes on in a colour to suit and is tooled to a clean finish.
- We clear away and tell you when it can get wet, normally after around 24 hours.
How to prepare
- For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can
- Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work
- Let us know if you’ve seen damp or leaks

Questions from Comiston
I let a flat near Slateford station. Can you help?
Yes, we work for landlords and letting agents. Just send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk and tell us about the property, and we will give you a clear quote.
I’m in a tenement in Comiston. 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. Replacing tired sealant early is the simplest way to avoid that.
Do you cover Comiston?
Yes. From our base in Crawley, we cover South East England, London and all of Scotland, Comiston included.
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.
Where are you based?
We’re a Crawley-based firm. We work across South East England, London and Scotland.
Can you work on commercial sites?
Yes. We can plan bigger jobs in stages.
Should I try DIY first?
Sometimes. Preparation is everything: all the old sealant out, and a clean, dry joint. We can always put it right if it fails.
Are you ARBOMaster approved?
Yes. ARBOMaster is the approved applicator scheme for Arbo sealants, and we are part of it.
Can I do it myself?
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.
If you do try it yourself, take your time over the preparation: take out all the old sealant, make sure the joint is clean and dry, and give it the full cure time. If it fails, we can still redo it.
When something else is needed
A few problems are outside what sealant work can do:
- Movement from a bath with loose feet or no proper support
- Leaks from a shower valve, waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
- Tiles that have come away from the wall
If in doubt, drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk and we will say what we think.
What we seal
- Baths
- Sinks & splashbacks
- Shower trays & enclosures
- Kitchen worktops & upstands
- Wet rooms
- Basins & vanity units
Different surfaces, different methods
Wet rooms
In a wet room, the joints between floor and walls take standing water. They’re resealed with anti-fungal sanitary silicone, and our work is on the visible joints only.
Shower trays & enclosures
Shower trays are sealed to the wall, and enclosures are sealed to the tray and tiles. Both take water every day, so each is cut out and renewed with anti-fungal sanitary silicone.
Bathroom resealing around Comiston
Private landlords in Scotland must be registered and meet the Repairing Standard, which includes keeping fixtures and fittings in reasonable repair. Failed sealant around a bath or shower is worth sorting between tenancies. Tenement flats are common across Edinburgh, and in a tenement, a leaking seal can reach the neighbours below.
If you look after a building such as Firrhill High School, we reseal washrooms and kitchens in schools and businesses as well as homes.

Signs you need bathroom resealing in Comiston
Silicone doesn’t last for ever. Every shower, every splash and every wipe with a cleaner take their toll over the years, and how long it lasts comes down to use, cleaning and ventilation.
The most common problems we see are:
- Failed sealant on the screen profile
- Smears of silicone across the tiles
- A bead that has pulled away from the tiles
- A reseal done over the top of the old bead
If you let a flat or house near Slateford station, fresh sealant around the bath, shower and sink between tenancies helps a property present well and keeps leaks at bay.
