Bathroom resealing in Corstorphine
The secret of a lasting bead is the preparation. The old sealant is removed to the last smear, after which the joint is degreased and any mould treated. New silicone goes on only when the joint is fully dry. If you are dealing with a bead that has pulled away from the tiles and splits where the tray meets the wall, we can put it right, whatever the surface.
Corstorphine is in one of Scotland’s four big cities, where many tenement bathrooms were fitted into rooms that weren’t built for them. Rooms like that are often small and slow to dry out, which is hard on sealant and grout.
Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee in Corstorphine and across Edinburgh.

Different surfaces, different methods
Kitchen worktops & upstands
Kitchen joints need more degreasing than bathroom ones, since cooking leaves a film that stops silicone sticking. The extra cleaning is what makes the bead last.
Baths
The long joint down the side of a bath is where most leaks start, particularly where there’s a shower over the bath. We finish it with a single, even bead of anti-fungal silicone.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Corstorphine
A neglected joint can let water reach the structure, which is a bigger problem in a rented property. Resealing at the right time is simple maintenance.
Failed sealant is one of the commonest items on a check-out report, and it’s easy to sort out between tenants. We can quote for more than one property at once.
Why it’s worth doing now in Corstorphine
The difference in a professional reseal is mostly what you do not see: cutting out every trace of the old bead, cleaning, treating mould and letting the joint dry. Skip those steps and even the best silicone fails early. In a tenement flat in Corstorphine, a failed seal is rarely just your problem: water can reach the flat below, and gaps in shared walls or fire-stopping affect the whole stair.
What it costs depends on the amount of work, how hard the old material is to remove and how easy the joints are to reach. You will have a clear quote before any work starts, so you know where you stand.

In total, it normally takes two to three hours for a typical bath, depending on how much old sealant there is. Many homes in Scotland’s cities are tenement flats, reached through a shared close and up a common stair. For a job in Corstorphine, tell us the floor, how the door entry system works and where we can park nearby.

There are hotels and other places to stay in and around Corstorphine. Hotel bathrooms are part of our work as well as homes, and can be done room by room.
Managing a site like Craigmount High School? Then we reseal washrooms and kitchens in schools and businesses as well as homes. Homes close to Corstorphine Collegiate Church include some older properties, and bathrooms in older houses have often been refitted more than once, with sealant laid over sealant.

FAQs for Corstorphine
Do you work for landlords with property near South Gyle station?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. You can send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk with the address and a few details, and we will give you a fixed price before work begins.
I’m in a tenement in Corstorphine. Could worn sealant affect the flat downstairs?
Yes. With flats above and below, a leak from a failed seal rarely stays in one flat. A proper reseal, with all the old sealant cut out, stops it at the source.
Does someone need to be in?
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.
Do you hold any approvals?
Yes. ARBOMaster is the approved applicator scheme for Arbo sealants, and we’re part of it.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes. Our one-year guarantee covers every job, and we’re ARBOMaster approved applicators.
Do you come to Corstorphine?
Yes. We cover Corstorphine. To book, send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk.
How do I get a quote for bathroom resealing in Corstorphine?
We do not publish prices, because the cost depends on the job: its size, the old material, access and the product needed. You will get a clear quote before any work starts.
Do you do kitchens as well as bathrooms?
Yes. Worktops, sinks and splashbacks are all part of the job, in a kitchen-suitable sealant, matched to the worktop where it’s on show.
Keeping the joints in good condition
Simple care keeps the joints in good condition. Our advice:
- Let new sealant cure fully before it gets wet
- Keep an eye on the corners, where splits start
- Avoid abrasive pads on the sealant
- Stick to a soft cloth and a mild cleaner
Have a look at the joints every few months. A small split or a corner lifting is easy to spot, and if anything looks wrong, just send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk.
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. If you spot one, it’s time to reseal.
Can I do it myself?
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that’s fine. We remove it and do the joint properly.
Not every job suits DIY: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs need the right product, the right access and the right method.
When to call us in Corstorphine
A bath shifts a little every time it’s filled and emptied. An acrylic bath flexes under load, while a poorly supported tray can shift underfoot. Over time the joint tears or pulls away from the tile.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Splits where the tray meets the wall
- A reseal done over the top of the old bead
- Leaking joints on a shower screen
- A bead that has pulled away from the tiles
Rented homes near South Gyle 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.
