- New sealant laid over old sealant that is now lifting
- Water getting behind the bath panel
- A joint torn by a bath that flexes
The process
A visit follows a simple pattern: we look at the joints together, mask and protect the surrounding surfaces, do the work and tidy away. It generally takes two to three hours for a typical bath, depending on how much old sealant there is. Parking in city streets around Redhall 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.
- 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.
- The joint is finished neatly and we explain when it can get wet.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before
- Mention any sign-in or site rules at work premises
- Tell us about any water getting in

Advice
Bathroom resealing in Redhall, done properly
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. Common call-outs are for leaking joints on a shower screen and lumpy, uneven sealant from a DIY attempt, on kitchen worktops & upstands, sinks & splashbacks and shower trays & enclosures.
In Scotland’s cities, including the area around Redhall, many older flats had their bathrooms added into small rooms later on. 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.
All our work is covered by a 12-month guarantee, wherever you are in Edinburgh.

Bathroom resealing around Redhall
Tenement flats are common across Edinburgh, where a failed seal can soon reach the flat below. Scotland’s water is generally soft, so sealant and grout see less limescale than in much of England. But mould still grows into sealant and grout in a room that does not dry out.
Rented homes near Kingsknowe station change hands often, and fresh sealant around the bath, shower and sink between tenancies helps a property present well and keeps leaks at bay.

What else we do in Redhall
What affects the quote in Redhall
You will get a clear quote before any work starts. It’s based on:
- The product the joint needs
- Any working-time requirements on site
- Whether the work is at height
- How many rooms, windows or areas are involved
Every job is a little different, so each one gets its own quote. The number of joints, how easy they are to reach and the sealant needed all play a part, and we will explain the quote if you ask.
What to tell us for a quote
There’s no need for technical detail. Just tell us:
- The rough size of the job
- Any previous sealing or DIY work
- The problem you’ve noticed
- Photos by email, if that’s easy
A good description makes for an accurate quote. Tell us where the job is, what’s wrong and how much there is, and add pictures by email if you can.
How to look after the new joints
Once the sealant has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Dry the bead with a towel now and then
- Check the joints every few months for splits or lifting
- Clean with a mild bathroom cleaner and a soft cloth
- Wipe up water along the back of the worktop
Give the silicone time to cure before it gets wet, following the cure time we give you. After that, a quick wipe after showering helps keep it clean.
There’s no need to wait for a full refurbishment. Sealant is a maintenance item, like the paint on a window frame, and renewing it as soon as it fails protects everything around it.
How the job changes by surface
Basins & vanity units
Basin joints are short and close to eye level: the bead is right in front of you, so it’s tooled cleanly and evenly, finished in a colour that suits the basin.
Shower trays & enclosures
There are usually two jobs in a shower: the tray-to-wall joint and the enclosure joints. Both take water every day, so each is cut out and renewed with anti-fungal sanitary silicone.
FAQs for Redhall
Could a leaking bath seal in my Redhall flat reach the neighbours below?
Yes, and the first sign is often a mark on the ceiling below. A proper reseal, with all the old sealant cut out, stops it at the source.
Can you do bathroom resealing in Redhall?
Yes, Redhall is within the area we cover. Our work covers the whole of Scotland. You can email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk and let us know what needs doing.
Can mouldy silicone be sorted out?
Yes, we replace the mouldy bead. Cleaning products may lighten it, but the lasting fix is new anti-fungal silicone on a clean, treated joint. Good ventilation helps keep it away.
Can tenants book the work?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are often happy for the work to be arranged.
Do the sealants smell?
It depends on the product. Some smell for a while, some hardly at all.
Do you work for letting agents?
Yes, regularly. We can quote for several properties at once.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Of course. Combining jobs makes good use of the visit, so mention them when you ask for a quote.
How do I get a quote for bathroom resealing in Redhall?
We do not publish prices, because the cost depends on the job: its size, the old material, access and the product needed. We agree the price before any work begins.
Common problems we fix in Redhall
No sealant lasts indefinitely. Every shower, every splash and every wipe with a cleaner take their toll over the years, and how long it lasts comes down to use, cleaning and ventilation.
People generally contact us when they notice one of these:
- Water escaping at the shower enclosure
- Two layers of silicone, both failing
- Black mould in the silicone that won’t clean off
- Sealant that has split, shrunk or peeled away
Managing a site like Merchiston Castle School? Then we reseal washrooms and kitchens in schools and businesses as well as homes.
What your quote should include
- How the joint is cleaned and prepared
- What product goes in the joint
- Are they insured?
- How long the guarantee is
Leave it or put it right?
Dealing with sealant early is a short job: it takes a couple of hours for a single bath or shower. Left until water gets through, the job can grow to lifting panels, drying out and decorating. For landlords in Redhall, damp and leaks can be a Repairing Standard issue, so failed sealant is best replaced before it becomes a complaint.
Leaving a failed joint usually makes the job bigger, not smaller, as water and mould keep getting in. If you are unsure, email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk for an honest opinion and a quote.
