Inch Bathroom Resealing
Problem with your baths, showers and worktops in Inch? We cut out the old, prepare the joints and apply the right sealant.
- Smears of silicone across the tiles
- Cracked, shrunken or lifting silicone
- Black mould in the silicone that won’t clean off
Why deal with it now?
Bleach and mould sprays may lighten black marks for a while, but mould that has grown into the sealant tends to return. Cutting it out and resealing with anti-fungal silicone is the fix that lasts. For landlords in Inch, damp and leaks can be a Repairing Standard issue, so it’s worth fixing failed sealant before a tenant reports it.
Homes and businesses are quoted the same way: the amount of work, the access and the products needed. Ask us for a quote and we’ll explain what it covers.

Bathroom resealing for homes and businesses in Inch
Sealant that’s mouldy, cracked or peeling shouldn’t be left until there’s a leak. A photo of the joints helps when you email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk, and you’ll get a clear quote for bathroom resealing in Inch. We work on basins & vanity units, wet rooms and shower trays & enclosures, and the jobs we see most are black spots spreading through the bead and a reseal done over the top of the old bead.
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.
All our work comes with our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Edinburgh.

When to call us in Inch
Older sealant shrinks and hardens. In kitchens it often shrinks away from the back edge, opening a hairline gap that lets water and crumbs in. Heat from the hob and strong sprays speed it along.
Common reasons people contact us are:
- Shrunken sealant along the back of a worktop
- Cracked, shrunken or lifting silicone
- Gaps where the bath or tray has moved
- Smears of silicone across the tiles
If you live in an older home near Liberton Parish Church, bathrooms in older houses have often been refitted more than once, with sealant laid over sealant.

Inch: your questions answered
Do you work for hotels and guest houses in Inch?
Yes, hotels and guest houses are among the places we work. A room-by-room programme keeps most rooms in use while the work goes on.
Can a failed shower seal in a tenement flat in Inch leak into the flat below?
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 the resealing come with a guarantee?
Yes. All our work comes with a 12-month guarantee, and we are fully insured.
What do you put in the joint?
We choose the sealant for the joint, not the other way round. Where it moves, gets wet or faces the weather makes a difference.
Can mouldy silicone be sorted out?
Yes. We strip the bead, treat the joint and lay new anti-fungal silicone.
Is it worth trying it myself?
You can, for simple jobs. The key is preparation: remove all the old material and work on a clean, dry joint. If it does not work out, we can redo it.
What information do you need?
The location, the problem and the rough size of the job. If you can, email a few pictures.
Is there any odour?
Some sealants have a smell while they cure. Opening a window helps.
Bathroom resealing around Inch
Inch is within about 3 miles of the coast. Coastal homes, holiday lets and guest houses can see heavy bathroom use in busy months, which wears sealant and grout out faster than in a quiet home. Tenement flats are common across Edinburgh, where a failed seal can soon reach the flat below.
Rented homes near Edinburgh Waverley station change hands often, and mouldy sealant is one of the first things a new tenant notices, so it’s worth renewing between lets. If you look after a building such as Liberton High School, we reseal washrooms and kitchens in schools and businesses as well as homes.

The process
Every visit runs the same way: we look at the joints together, protect the area around them, carry out the job and clear up. Most jobs take a couple of hours for one bath or shower, or most of a day for a full bathroom and kitchen. Parking in city streets around Inch can be tight or controlled, so it helps to know about permits or nearby bays. For flats, mention the door entry system and any shared-stair arrangements.
- We cover the area around the joints we’re working on.
- Old sealant is sliced away and the residue removed.
- Mould is treated, then the joint is left to dry thoroughly.
- 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.
Preparing for the visit
- For business premises, tell us about site rules or sign-in
- Mention any parking rules near the property
- Clear the area around the work

Advice
DIY sealant or a professional job?
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.
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.
Surface by surface
Basins & vanity units
The back of a basin gets wet every time someone washes. Corners behind basins are where mould tends to start, so it’s cut out and renewed just like a bath joint.
Shower trays & enclosures
A tray that rocks will split any sealant. Movement is checked before anything is resealed, and tell you if it needs re-bedding first.
