A neglected joint can let water reach the structure, which is a bigger problem in a rented property. Resealing at the right time is simple maintenance.

Bathroom resealing in Moredun, done properly
We fill the bath before sealing it. The weight settles the bath to its lowest point, so the bead isn’t stretched the first time someone gets in. Quick jobs often leave it out, and it makes a real difference. We work on baths, kitchen worktops & upstands and shower trays & enclosures, and the jobs we see most are leaks into the floor or ceiling below and splits where the tray meets the wall.
Stone-built tenements are part of every Scottish city, alongside suburban houses and modern blocks. 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.
Each job carries a 12-month guarantee, whatever its size.

Signs you need bathroom resealing in Moredun
Black mould is behind a lot of resealing. Bathrooms without good ventilation give mould all the damp it needs, and once it has grown into the bead, cleaning rarely gets it out.
These are the problems we are asked about most:
- Leaks into the floor or ceiling below
- Sealant that has split, shrunk or peeled away
- Shrunken sealant along the back of a worktop
- A messy, uneven bead from a previous reseal
For an older house near a landmark such as Liberton Parish Church, walls and floors in older homes can move, and sealant and grout show it first.

DIY versus a professional finish
If you are set on DIY, put the effort into preparation: remove every trace of old sealant, clean and dry the joint, and follow the product’s cure time. If it fails, we can still redo it.
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.
What we do, step by step
There’s no need to move everything out before we come, just the space around the work. We protect the rest, and the work takes a morning or an afternoon for most single baths and showers for a typical job. In a Scottish city, a lot of jobs are in tenement flats, up a common stair from a shared close. In Moredun, it helps to know the floor, the door entry arrangements and the nearest parking.
- Protection goes down around the bath, shower or worktop.
- Old sealant is sliced away and the residue removed.
- 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.
- We finish the joint, clear up and tell you how long to leave it before it gets wet.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know about parking restrictions
- Tell us about any water getting in

Advice
Moredun: your questions answered
Can a failed shower seal in a tenement flat in Moredun leak into the flat below?
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. Replacing tired sealant early is the simplest way to avoid that.
Do you work for landlords with property near Shawfair station?
Yes, we work for letting agents and landlords. You can drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk with the address and a few details, and we will give you a fixed price before any work starts.
Do you have insurance?
Yes. Full insurance covers our work.
When can I use the bath or shower again?
Generally after around 24 hours. We will tell you the cure time for the product we used.
Will it make a mess?
No. We work neatly, protect the area around the joints and tidy up afterwards.
Does the resealing come with a guarantee?
Yes. We give a 12-month guarantee on every job, and we’re fully insured.
Do I need to be at home?
That depends on where the joints are. Inside work needs someone to give us access, and for outside work we’ll agree access with you when we book.
What information do you need?
Just the basics: the address or postcode, what’s wrong and any access issues. Then drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk.
When something else is needed
Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits too:
- Tiles that have come away from the wall
- Cracked or missing grout between tiles (that is regrouting)
- Movement from a bath with loose feet or no proper support
If you are not sure, just send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk and we’ll give you a straight answer.
What we seal
- Wet rooms
- Baths
- Sinks & splashbacks
- Kitchen worktops & upstands
- Shower trays & enclosures
- Basins & vanity units
What happens if it’s left?
Dealing with sealant early is a short job: it takes two to three hours for a typical bath, depending on how much old sealant there is. Wait for a leak and you may be looking at panels off, drying out and redecorating too. Scottish rain finds any gap around a frame or wall joint, and in a tall building in Moredun, damp can travel a long way before it shows.
Combining jobs into one visit is usually more efficient than separate visits, so it’s worth mentioning everything you’d like done. We’ll give you a clear quote for the lot.

Bathrooms and kitchens in Moredun
Moredun is within about 3 miles of the coast. Near the coast, holiday lets and guest houses can see bathrooms used by one guest after another, which wears sealant and grout out faster than in a quiet home. Tenement flats are common across Edinburgh, and in a tenement, a leaking seal can reach the neighbours below.
If you look after a building such as Liberton 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. For landlords with property near Shawfair station, mouldy sealant is one of the first things a new tenant notices, so it’s worth renewing between lets.
