Bathrooms and kitchens in Niddrie Mains
Niddrie Mains is within about 2 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. 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.
If you let a flat or house near Brunstane station, mouldy sealant is one of the first things a new tenant notices, so it’s worth renewing between lets.

Bathroom resealing in Niddrie Mains, done properly
Sealant is the soft line between a bath, shower or worktop and the wall. When it splits, shrinks or turns black, water gets behind it and into the wall or floor. Our team cut the old bead out completely and lay a new one in anti-fungal sanitary silicone. We work on baths, wet rooms and sinks & splashbacks, and common reasons people get in touch are water getting behind the kitchen upstand and black spots spreading through the bead.
Niddrie Mains 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, which is hard on sealant and grout.
Big or small, it’s backed by our one-year guarantee in Niddrie Mains and across Edinburgh.

What we do, step by step
There’s no need to move everything out, just the space around the work. We protect the rest, and the job takes around two hours for one bath or shower, longer for a whole bathroom 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 Niddrie Mains, it helps to know the floor, the door entry arrangements and the nearest parking.
- We protect the area and cut out all of the old sealant.
- The joint is cleaned, degreased and treated for mould.
- The joint is left to dry, and baths are filled with water first.
- New anti-fungal silicone goes on in a colour to suit and is tooled to a clean finish.
- We tidy up and give you the cure time, usually around 24 hours.
How to prepare
- Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed
- Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints
- On commercial sites, let us know about site rules

Niddrie Mains questions
Could a leaking bath seal in my Niddrie Mains flat reach the neighbours below?
Yes. With flats above and below, a leak from a failed seal rarely stays in one flat. Cutting out the old sealant and laying a fresh bead puts a stop to it.
Do you work for landlords with property near Brunstane station?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. Just drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk and tell us about the property, and we will send you a clear quote.
How long does a bath or shower reseal take?
It depends on how many joints there are and how much old sealant has to come out. For most single baths or showers, allow a couple of hours.
Can new silicone go straight over the old?
No. It’s a common reason for reseals failing. We cut out all of the old sealant, clean the joint and start again.
Do you do commercial work?
Yes. We have worked for hotels, offices and other businesses.
Do you hold any approvals?
Yes. We are an ARBOMaster approved applicator, which is run for the Arbo sealant brand.
Where do you work from?
Our base is Crawley, with over 20 years’ experience. Our area covers South East England, London and Scotland.
What do you need from me for a quote?
Tell us what needs doing and where, plus pictures if you have them. We’ll ask anything else we need to know.
How we quote for bathroom resealing
Call for a quick quote. What matters most is:
- The number of rooms or windows
- How much there is to do
- The type of sealant required
- Mould in or behind the old joints
Instead of a standard rate, we price the job in front of us: the amount of work, the old material and the access. The price is agreed before we begin.
Asking for a quote
To make quoting easier, let us know:
- How we’d reach the joints
- How many joints, rooms or windows are involved
- The problem you’ve noticed
- Whether it’s a home or a business
For a quick quote, get us on the phone, or email us if that’s easier. Describe what needs sealing and we will explain what’s involved.
What we cannot put right
Honest advice matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what sealant can’t fix:
- A leaking waste, trap or valve
- Cracked or missing grout between tiles (that is regrouting)
- Movement from a bath with loose feet or no proper support
If in doubt, drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk and we’ll say what we think.

What the job involves on each surface
Sinks & splashbacks
Water getting under the rim of an inset sink can soak the worktop. Where the sealant around the visible edge has failed, we renew it.
Wet rooms
If a wet room leaks, the cause may be the tanking or the drain rather than the joints. We reseal the joints and will tell you if the water seems to be coming from somewhere else.
Why it’s worth doing now in Niddrie Mains
Mould removers can fade the surface of a stained bead, but where mould is inside the silicone it usually comes back. The lasting answer is to remove the bead and start again. Wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint on the outside of a city building, and in a tall building in Niddrie Mains, damp can travel a long way before it shows.
What you pay reflects the work, not guesswork. That’s why we ask about the job first.

Landlord and commercial work in Niddrie Mains
From a single let to a portfolio, you get the same standard of work: the old material taken out, careful preparation and a 12-month guarantee.
A neglected joint can let water reach the structure, which matters even more when someone else lives there. Keeping joints in good order is simple maintenance.
When to call us in Niddrie Mains
Sealant laid on a damp, dusty or greasy joint never bonds properly. Soap residue, oils and leftover silicone film all get in the way, so a rushed job can start to lift early.
Any of these means the joints need attention:
- New sealant laid over old sealant that is now lifting
- Water escaping at the shower enclosure
- Shrunken sealant along the back of a worktop
- A messy, uneven bead from a previous reseal
If you look after a building such as Castlebrae Community High School, we reseal washrooms and kitchens in schools and businesses as well as homes.
