About our bathroom resealing in Ingliston
A shower joint gets soaked every day. Trays, enclosures, screen profiles and wet room floors all need a flexible, waterproof seal. They’re resealed with anti-fungal sanitary silicone, finished smooth so water drains away rather than collecting. Common call-outs are for a reseal done over the top of the old bead and damp behind the bath or under the tray, on sinks & splashbacks, baths and basins & vanity units.
For a place like Ingliston, the job is the same as anywhere: old material out, joints cleaned and dried, and a fresh, even finish. The journey and access are simply planned in advance.
You are covered for a year from the day we finish. If anything is not right with it, send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk.

How to look after the new joints
A little care helps the new joints last. Our advice:
- Run the extractor fan during and after every shower
- Move toiletries away from the joint
- Do not leave water standing on kitchen joints
- Keep an eye on the corners, where splits start
Keep bottles and razors off the sealant line, because they trap water against the silicone. Squeegeeing the walls and tray after use keeps water from sitting on the joint.
A split bead lets water through every time the bath or shower is used. Left alone, it soaks into the floor, the wall behind the tiles or the ceiling below. Resealing early stops it.

DIY versus a professional finish
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and doesn’t move well, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions.

Ingliston: your questions answered
Do you work for hotels and guest houses in Ingliston?
Yes, we work for hotels as well as homes and businesses. A room-by-room programme keeps most rooms in use while the work goes on.
Will you come out to Ingliston?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. We work across all of Scotland. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
How do I get a quote for bathroom resealing in Ingliston?
Every job is different, so each one gets its own quote. For a quick quote, email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk with a short description of the job.
Where do you work from?
We’re based in Crawley, West Sussex, and we work across South East England, London and Scotland.
Do you reseal kitchen worktops and sinks too?
Yes. Kitchen joints get extra degreasing before the new bead goes on, then a colour-matched bead is laid.
Which products do you use?
It depends on the joint: sanitary silicone where it gets wet, and sealants suited to movement or weather elsewhere. We use products from Arbo and Everbuild.
My sealant has gone black. Can you sort it?
Yes. Once mould has grown into the silicone, it generally can’t be cleaned out for good, so we cut it out, treat the joint and reseal with anti-fungal silicone.
How long does a bath or shower reseal take?
A single bath or shower takes about a couple of hours, old sealant removal included. A whole bathroom plus the kitchen may take most of the day.
What sealant work cannot fix
We will always be straight with you, so here’s what new sealant won’t do:
- A leaking waste, trap or valve
- Cracks in the tray itself rather than the joint
- Failed grout lines across the wall
If you are not sure, just send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk and we will give you a straight answer.
Surfaces we seal
- Basins & vanity units
- Shower trays & enclosures
- Wet rooms
- Sinks & splashbacks
- Kitchen worktops & upstands
- Baths
Common problems we fix in Ingliston
Older sealant shrinks and hardens. Along worktops it tends to pull back from the wall, opening a hairline gap that lets water and crumbs in. Hot pans and harsh cleaners don’t help.
Common reasons people contact us are:
- Gaps where the bath or tray has moved
- A bead that has pulled away from the tiles
- Failed sealant on the screen profile
- Smears of silicone across the tiles
Schools such as Craigmount High School are buildings too, and its toilets, changing areas and kitchens need their sealant renewed like any other building’s.
