Bathroom resealing in Saughtonhall
A reseal only lasts if the joint is properly prepared. The old sealant is removed to the last smear, then the joint is cleaned, degreased and treated for mould. Only once it’s dry does the new bead go on. We work on sinks & splashbacks, shower trays & enclosures and wet rooms, and the jobs we see most are leaks into the floor or ceiling below and a bead that has pulled away from the tiles.
From stone-built tenements to new flats and suburban houses, Saughtonhall is in a city with every kind of home. Scottish water is generally soft, so limescale is less of a problem than in hard-water areas, but mould still grows into sealant and grout in a steamy bathroom.
Each job carries a 12-month guarantee, large or small.

What happens on the day
Before we leave, we go over the finished joints with you and explain the cure time. The work normally takes a couple of hours for a single bath or shower, depending on how much there is to do. Inside a flat in Saughtonhall, the job is planned with you; outside, shared parts may need the factor or other owners involved. Tell us which applies when you book.
- First the area is protected and every bit of old sealant removed.
- We clean and degrease the joint and treat any 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 clear away and tell you when it can get wet, normally after around 24 hours.
Before we arrive
- Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work
- Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints
- For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can

Can I do it myself?
Some jobs are best left to a professional: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs need the right product, the right access and the right method.
If you’re set on DIY, put the effort into preparation: take out all the old sealant, make sure the joint is clean and dry, and give it the full cure time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still put it right.
What we’re called out for in Saughtonhall
Older sealant shrinks and hardens. In kitchens it often shrinks away from the back edge, opening a hairline gap that lets water and crumbs in. Hot pans and harsh cleaners do not help.
It’s worth asking for a quote if you see:
- Damp behind the bath or under the tray
- Water escaping at the shower enclosure
- Sealant that has split, shrunk or peeled away
- Mouldy sealant that has gone black
If you let a flat or house near Slateford station, a reseal between tenants is a quick way to make the bathroom and kitchen look cared for.
Before you book anyone

Bathroom resealing around Saughtonhall
Saughtonhall is close to 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. Private landlords in Scotland must be registered and meet the Repairing Standard, which includes keeping fixtures and fittings in reasonable repair. Failed sealant around a bath or shower is worth sorting between tenancies.
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Balgreen Primary School, its toilets, changing areas and kitchens need their sealant renewed like any other building’s. For an older house near a landmark such as Murrayfield Parish Church, walls and floors in older homes can move, and sealant and grout show it first.

What we can’t put right
We’d rather tell you now than do work that won’t last, so here’s what sealant cannot put right:
- A cracked shower tray or bath (that needs repair or replacement)
- Tiles that have come away from the wall
- Water coming from the plumbing rather than the joint
If in doubt, send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk and we’ll say what we think.

Saughtonhall questions
Could a leaking bath seal in my Saughtonhall flat reach the neighbours below?
Yes, and the first sign is often a mark on the ceiling below. Cutting out the old sealant and laying a fresh bead puts a stop to it.
Do you work in hotels near Saughtonhall?
Yes, hospitality work, including hotels, is part of what we do. Work can be planned room by room, and out-of-hours working can be arranged.
Are you insured?
Yes. Full insurance covers our work.
Do you hold any approvals?
Yes. We’re approved under the ARBOMaster scheme, the approved applicator scheme for Arbo sealants.
Do you work in Saughtonhall?
We do. Saughtonhall is part of the area we cover.
Will the old sealant be removed?
Yes, always, and completely. New silicone does not stick to old silicone, so the joint is cleaned back first.
Is there any odour?
There can be a smell while the sealant cures. Ventilation helps.
Do you guarantee your resealing?
Yes, a 12-month guarantee. Good ventilation and gentle cleaning help it last.
Different surfaces, different methods
Shower trays & enclosures
A tray that rocks will split any sealant. Movement is checked before anything is resealed, and if the tray needs refixing, we’ll say so.
Basins & vanity units
The back of a basin gets wet every time someone washes. Corners behind basins are where mould tends to start, and we treat it exactly as we would a bath.
