- Gaps where the bath or tray has moved
- Black mould in the silicone that will not clean off
Bathroom resealing in Roslin, done properly
We fill the bath before sealing it. The weight settles the bath to its lowest point, so the new joint is not pulled apart the first time it’s used. It’s a small step that rushed reseals tend to skip. Common call-outs are for new sealant laid over old sealant that is now lifting and gaps between the worktop and the wall, on wet rooms, shower trays & enclosures and basins & vanity units.
Being further from a city doesn’t change the work: old material out, joints cleaned and dried, and a fresh, even finish. We just plan the journey and access beforehand.
All of our work is guaranteed for twelve months.

What we cannot put right
Some problems need a builder, plumber or other trade rather than us:
- Leaks from a shower valve, waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
- Water getting in through the grout rather than the sealant
- A bath or tray that moves because it isn’t properly supported
If in doubt, send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk and we’ll say what we think before booking.
Joints and surfaces we work on
- Shower trays & enclosures

Commercial jobs are quoted on the same basis as homes: the amount of work, the access and the products needed. Ask us for a quote and we’ll explain what it covers.
What to tell us for a quote
A few details help us give you an accurate quote. When you get in contact, it helps to mention:
- Where the property is
- If someone has resealed it before
- A few pictures by email, if you can
- Whether it’s a home or a business
Call for a quick quote, or email us if that’s easier. Describe what needs sealing and we’ll talk you through the work before giving you a price.
DIY sealant or a professional job?
If you do try it yourself, take your time over the 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.
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is, and the work is guaranteed for a year.
Bathroom resealing around Roslin
Scottish Water supplies are generally soft, so limescale is less of a problem than in hard-water areas. But mould still grows into sealant and grout in a room that doesn’t dry out. Private landlords in Scotland must be registered and meet the Repairing Standard, which includes keeping fixtures and fittings in reasonable repair. Tired, leaking sealant is worth putting right before a new tenant moves in.
Managing a site like Lasswade High School Centre? Then we reseal washrooms and kitchens in schools and businesses as well as homes.

How to look after the new joints
Looking after new joints is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Stick to a soft cloth and a mild cleaner
- Keep bottles off the sealant line
- Run the extractor fan during and after every shower
- Give the silicone its full cure time
Mould needs damp, so keep the room aired. Run the extractor fan during and after a shower, so the silicone gets a chance to dry.
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.
What we’re called out for in Roslin
Older sealant shrinks and hardens. In kitchens it often shrinks away from the back edge, leaving a thin gap where water and food collect. Heat from the hob and strong sprays speed it along.
The most common problems we see are:
- Failed sealant on the screen profile
- Water getting behind the kitchen upstand
- Damp behind the bath or under the tray
- Two layers of silicone, both failing
For landlords with property near Eskbank station, fresh sealant around the bath, shower and sink between tenancies helps a property present well and keeps leaks at bay.
Questions to ask before you book
- How long the guarantee is
- How the colour is chosen
- How much experience the applicator has
- Whether all the old sealant comes out first
Why act early in Roslin
Bleach and mould sprays may lighten black marks for a while, but mould that has grown into the sealant tends to return. The lasting answer is to remove the bead and start again. Out of town in Scotland, exposed walls take a lot of weather, and damp in stone or harled walls takes a long time to dry once water gets behind a joint.
Rather than a set price list, we look at what your job involves: how many joints, what’s in them now and how we reach them. You will know the price before we begin.
Why book with us
- Anti-fungal sanitary silicone in wet areas
- Sealant colour chosen to suit
- White, clear, grey or coloured to suit, where the product allows
- ARBOMaster approved applicator

What we do, step by step
We bring everything the job needs with us, so there’s nothing for you to buy. After a quick look at the joints together, we protect the area and start. Most jobs take a couple of hours for a single bath or shower. Outdoor work around Roslin depends on the weather, as sealant needs a dry surface, so an outdoor job can move if the forecast changes. Indoor work goes ahead whatever the weather.
- We start by protecting the area and stripping out the old bead, including the film left on the tiles.
- The joint is cleaned, degreased and treated for mould.
- The joint is left to dry, and baths are filled with water first.
- We apply anti-fungal sanitary silicone in one even bead and tool it neatly.
- We tidy up and give you the cure time, normally around 24 hours.
Preparing for the visit
- Keep children and pets away from the work area
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit
- On commercial sites, let us know about site rules

Roslin: your questions answered
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Eskbank 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’ll give you a clear quote.
Will you come out to Roslin?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Our work covers the whole of Scotland. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Is it OK to put new sealant on top of the old bead?
No, never. Sealing over the top looks fine for a few weeks, then lifts, because silicone doesn’t bond to silicone. Every trace of the old bead is removed first.
Can you do several jobs on one visit?
Yes, we can. Several rooms, windows or areas can go on one quote.
What do you put in the joint?
Quality sealants from brands including Arbo and Everbuild, chosen to suit the joint. We explain the product when we quote.
How long does it take to reseal a bath or shower?
One bath or shower is around two hours’ work, including cutting out the old sealant. A whole bathroom plus the kitchen may take most of the day.
Do the sealants smell?
That depends on the sealant. Some products have a noticeable smell, others very little, and any smell fades as they cure.
What should I tell you?
Only a few details: where it is, what you’ve noticed and how we reach it. After that, simply send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk.
