Bathroom resealing for homes and businesses in Maybury
Sealant is the soft line between a bath, shower or worktop and the wall. Once it cracks or goes mouldy, water starts to find its way through. Our team cut the old bead out completely and lay a new one in anti-fungal sanitary silicone. If you have splits where the tray meets the wall and water getting behind the bath panel, we can help, whatever the surface.
Maybury 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, and steam with nowhere to go is what turns sealant black and grout grey.
A 12-month guarantee comes as standard.

What happens if it’s left?
Running new silicone over the old joint can look tidy for a few weeks, but it cannot stick to what’s underneath. It lifts, traps water and grows mould behind it. In a Scottish city tenement, failed sealant affects more than one flat: a leak can come through the ceiling below, and gaps in shared walls or fire-rated joints matter to every flat.
Instead of a standard rate, we look at what your job involves: how many joints, what’s in them now and how we reach them. You’ll know the price before we begin.

When to call us in Maybury
No sealant lasts indefinitely. Every shower, every splash and every wipe with a cleaner slowly wear it down, so its life depends on how the room is used, cleaned and aired.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Cracked, shrunken or lifting silicone
- Black mould in the silicone that will not clean off
- Water getting behind the bath panel
- Lumpy, uneven sealant from a DIY attempt
For landlords with property near Edinburgh Gateway station, a reseal between tenants is a quick way to make the bathroom and kitchen look cared for.
Questions to ask before you book
- How much experience the applicator has
- Is VAT in the price?
- Whether they seal over old material or remove it

FAQs for Maybury
I’m in a tenement in Maybury. Could worn sealant affect the flat downstairs?
Yes, it can. In a tenement, water that gets past failed sealant or cracked grout can run under the bath or tray and through to the ceiling below, and then the repair involves your neighbours too. It’s worth sorting sealant and grout before it gets that far.
I let a flat near Edinburgh Gateway station. Can you help?
Yes. We work for landlords and letting agents as well as homeowners, and several properties can be quoted together. Just send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk with the address and what needs doing, and we’ll give you a clear price.
Do you take out the old sealant first?
Yes, every time. New silicone doesn’t stick to old silicone, so the joint is cleaned back first.
Are you ARBOMaster approved?
Yes. We’re ARBOMaster approved, the scheme for applicators of Arbo sealants.
How long does a bath or shower reseal take?
One bath or shower is around two hours’ work, old sealant removal included. A full bathroom and kitchen can take most of a day.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. Mr Mastic is fully insured.
Do you work for hotels and businesses?
Yes. We work in offices, washrooms, hotels and other commercial premises. Working times can be discussed when we quote.
Is white the only colour available?
Most people choose white or clear, but other colours can be used to suit tiles and worktops. Tell us what you’d like when you get in touch.

What happens on the day
At the end, we look at the finished work together. The visit itself usually takes a couple of hours for a single bath or shower, depending on how much there is to do. For a tenement in Maybury, work inside your flat is between us and you, while shared parts may need the factor or neighbours to agree. Tell us which applies when you book.
- First, each joint is checked for movement and signs of water.
- The old silicone is cut out completely, along with the film it leaves 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.
- The bead is tooled smooth and you’re told the cure time, usually around 24 hours.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any parking rules near the property
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive
- Tell us about any previous sealing or DIY attempts

Advice
What affects the cost of bathroom resealing
Your quote is based on your job. We take into account:
- Whether the work is at height
- Working hours on commercial sites
- How much old sealant there is and how hard it is to remove
- Which sealant suits the joint
Leaving a failed joint usually makes the job bigger, not smaller. If you are not sure whether it needs doing, send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk and we’ll give you an honest view and a quote.
What we need to know
Photos by email are helpful but not essential. Try to tell us:
- The rough size of the job
- The address or postcode of the job
- If someone has resealed it before
- What’s wrong with the joints now
Call for a quick quote, or send an email if you’d rather. Tell us about the joints that need doing and we’ll explain what’s involved.
DIY versus a professional finish
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, such as a straightforward joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and does not move well, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.
How the job changes by surface
Kitchen worktops & upstands
Laminate worktops swell if water gets into the core. A continuous bead along the back keeps water out.
Wet rooms
Not every wet room leak is a sealant problem. We reseal the joints and will tell you if the water seems to be coming from somewhere else.
Bathroom resealing around Maybury
Maybury is close to the coast. Coastal homes, holiday lets and guest houses can see heavy bathroom use in busy months, and sealant and grout that work that hard wear out sooner. 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.
Managing a site like Craigmount High School? Then its toilets, changing areas and kitchens need their sealant renewed like any other building’s.
