Hermiston Bathroom Resealing
Bath, shower, basin, wet room, worktop and sink resealing for homes and businesses in Hermiston and across Edinburgh. Fully insured, ARBOMaster approved and guaranteed for a year.
- A joint torn by a bath that flexes
- Gaps between the worktop and the wall
- Two layers of silicone, both failing
Can I do it myself?
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that is fine. We remove it and do the joint properly, so tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. New silicone won’t bond to old, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. Everything old must be removed first.
Bathroom resealing for homes and businesses in Hermiston
Homes in Hermiston have the same weak spots as anywhere else: bath edges, tray joints, basin backs and kitchen upstands. Each one is stripped, cleaned and dried before new silicone goes in. We work on shower trays & enclosures, baths and kitchen worktops & upstands, and the jobs we see most are mouldy sealant that has gone black and lumpy, uneven sealant from a DIY attempt.
Being further from a city doesn’t change the work: old material out, joints cleaned and dried, and a fresh, even finish. We just plan the journey and access beforehand.
There’s a 12-month guarantee on every job, whatever its size.

Common problems we fix in Hermiston
Silicone needs a clean, dry surface without any grease to stick to. Soap residue, oils and leftover silicone film all get in the way, so a rushed job can start to lift early.
These are the problems we’re asked about most:
- Water getting behind the kitchen upstand
- Two layers of silicone, both failing
- Damp behind the bath or under the tray
- Cracked, shrunken or lifting silicone
In and around Hermiston, as anywhere, good bathroom resealing starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint.

What we can’t put right
In fairness, there are a few things sealant will not fix:
- Leaks from a shower valve, waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
- A tray or bath that is cracked through
- A bath or tray that moves because it isn’t properly supported
Not sure which it is? You can send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

Your questions about bathroom resealing in Hermiston
Do you cover smaller places like Hermiston?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Our work covers the whole of Scotland. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Edinburgh Park station?
Yes, we work for landlords and letting agents. You can drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk with the address and a few details, and we’ll give you a fixed price before we start.
Is white the only colour available?
We can use white, clear or a colour to suit. Where the joint is on show, we match it to the surface.
Do you do commercial work?
Yes, regularly. Larger jobs can be planned room by room or area by area.
My sealant has gone black. Can you sort it?
Yes, we replace the mouldy bead. Sprays can fade the marks, but cutting it out and resealing is what lasts. Airing the room well helps stop it returning.
Do you guarantee your resealing?
Yes, for 12 months. Looking after the joint as we suggest helps it last.
Do you do kitchens as well as bathrooms?
Yes. Kitchen joints get extra degreasing before the new bead goes on, then a colour-matched bead is laid.
Where are you based?
We’re a Crawley-based firm, with over 20 years’ experience. We work across South East England, London and Scotland.
Aftercare tips
To keep the joints looking good and working properly:
- Check the joints every few months for splits or lifting
- Clean with a mild bathroom cleaner and a soft cloth
- Wipe the sealant dry after showering
- Never pick at the silicone with a blade
Keep water off the new bead until it has cured, which is generally around 24 hours. Once it’s cured, wiping it down after use keeps it looking new.
Mould that starts as a few spots spreads through the bead. Once it’s deep in the silicone, cleaning normally will not remove it, and nearby grout often goes the same way. Replacing the sealant early keeps the job small.
How we quote for bathroom resealing
The quote reflects the job in front of us. We take into account:
- How much old sealant there is and how hard it is to remove
- Whether there’s mould to deal with
- Whether the work is at height
- When we can work, for business premises
Doing several joints on one visit is usually more efficient than separate visits. We will give you a clear quote for the lot.
Helping us quote
You do not need to know the technical terms. Just tell us:
- Photos by email, if that is easy
- How we’d reach the joints
- The rough size of the job
- The problem you’ve noticed
Quotes start with a quick conversation. Describe the problem, the location and the size of the job, and we’ll talk you through what we’d do. Whenever you’re ready, drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk.
Surface by surface
Basins & vanity units
The back of a basin gets wet every time someone washes. Old sealant there often goes black at the corners, and we treat it exactly as we would a bath.
Shower trays & enclosures
There are normally two jobs in a shower: the tray-to-wall joint and the enclosure joints. Both get soaked every time the shower runs, so both are resealed with anti-fungal sanitary silicone.
Bathroom resealing around Hermiston
Scottish Water supplies are generally soft, so limescale is less of a problem than in hard-water areas. Mould is another matter: a bathroom that stays damp still turns sealant and grout black. 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.
Rented homes near Edinburgh Park 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.

What happens on the day
There’s no need to move everything out before we come, just the space around the work. Everything nearby is protected, and the job takes a morning or an afternoon for most single baths and showers in most cases. Outdoor work around Hermiston depends on the weather, as sealant needs a dry surface, so an outdoor job can move if the forecast changes. Indoor work goes ahead whatever the weather.
- 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.
- Any bath is filled with water, then we lay a bead of anti-fungal silicone in white, clear or a matching colour.
- The joint is finished neatly and we explain when it can get wet.
