How we quote for bathroom resealing
Your quote is based on your job. We take into account:
- Whether there’s mould to deal with
- Whether the work is at height
- Any working-time requirements on site
- The old material and how stubborn it is
Leaving a failed joint usually makes the job bigger, not smaller, because water and mould keep working on it. If you are unsure, email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk and we’ll give you an honest view and a quote.
Helping us quote
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote. When you get in contact, it helps to mention:
- How we’d reach the joints
- Photos by email, if that is easy
- If someone has resealed it before
- The problem you’ve noticed
It all starts with a short chat. Tell us what’s wrong, where it is and how much there is. Whenever you are ready, drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk.
Bathroom resealing for homes and businesses in Fairmilehead
With over 20 years in the trade, we reseal baths, showers and kitchens in homes across Fairmilehead. We’re ARBOMaster approved and fully insured, and the work comes with a 12-month guarantee. We are often asked to deal with a joint torn by a bath that flexes and smears of silicone across the tiles, on sinks & splashbacks, basins & vanity units and baths.
Stone-built tenements are part of every Scottish city, alongside houses and newer flats. With flats above and below, a leak from a tired seal can reach the flat underneath, and that is as true in Fairmilehead as anywhere in the city.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something isn’t right with it in that time, tell us and we’ll put it right.

How the visit works
We bring everything the job needs with us. After a quick look at the joints together, we protect the area and start. It normally takes a couple of hours for a single bath or shower. For a tenement in Fairmilehead, work inside your flat is between us and you, while shared parts may need the factor or neighbours to agree. It helps to know which it is when you get in touch.
- We look at every joint first and check for movement or leaks.
- Every trace of the old bead is removed, including the thin smear on the tiles.
- Joints are degreased and any mould is treated.
- With the joint dry, and any bath loaded with water, a single bead of anti-fungal silicone is applied.
- We tool the bead to a neat finish and give you the cure time, normally around 24 hours.
Getting ready for the visit
- Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work
- Clear items away from the joints we are working on
- For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can

Why act early in Fairmilehead
A failed joint gets more costly to put right the longer it’s left. Water that gets behind a bath soaks into the floor, the panel and sometimes the ceiling below, and that is a far bigger job than a reseal. Wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint on the outside of a city building, and in Fairmilehead, damp can spread through stone and plaster before anyone sees it.
We don’t show prices on the website, because the cost depends so much on the job itself. For a quick quote, please send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk.

Yes, often alongside a bathroom. Where it’s needed by the sink, we use a food-safe sealant.
What bathroom resealing looks like in Fairmilehead
Scotland’s water is generally soft, so sealant and grout see less limescale than in much of England. Mould is another matter: a bathroom that stays damp still turns sealant and grout black. 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.
In the older streets around Fairmilehead Church, walls and floors in older homes can move, and sealant and grout show it first. For landlords with property near Slateford station, mouldy sealant is one of the first things a new tenant notices, so it’s worth renewing between lets.

Aftercare tips
Once the sealant has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Move toiletries away from the joint
- Never pick at the silicone with a blade
- Keep the fan on for a while after bathing
- Check the joints every few months for splits or lifting
Check the sealant now and then. Small splits and lifting ends are easy to catch early, so if something does not look right, just email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk.
Watch for the early signs: lifting ends, gaps, dark shadows under the bead or a stain downstairs. Any of these means the joint needs attention.
What we are called out for in Fairmilehead
Not every tube in the shop is meant for a shower. Decorators’ caulk and all-purpose sealants are not made for constant wetting, so they stain, crack or go mouldy before long. A bathroom joint needs anti-fungal sanitary silicone.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- Mouldy sealant that has gone black
- Leaks into the floor or ceiling below
- A joint torn by a bath that flexes
- Water escaping at the shower enclosure
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Firrhill 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.
Questions to ask before you book
- What happens if they find a problem under the old sealant
- What guarantee comes with the work
- Whether the sealant suits the joint
- Which colour the sealant will be
Can I do it myself?
Not every job suits DIY: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas need the right product, the right access and the right method.
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is, then guaranteed for a year.
Work for landlords, hotels and businesses
Housing providers, facilities teams and property managers book us too. Several sites can be quoted together.
Mouldy or split sealant often shows up at the end of a tenancy. Several properties can be quoted together.
