Bathroom resealing for homes and businesses in Seafield
With over 20 years in the trade, we reseal baths, showers and kitchens in homes across Seafield. We’re ARBOMaster approved and fully insured, and every job carries our 12-month guarantee. We’re often asked to deal with water getting behind the kitchen upstand and lumpy, uneven sealant from a DIY attempt, across baths, kitchen worktops & upstands and shower trays & enclosures.
Seafield 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, and steam with nowhere to go is what turns sealant black and grout grey.
Your job is guaranteed for a year, as with all our work.

When to call us in Seafield
Silicone does not last for ever. Every shower, every splash and every wipe with a cleaner take their toll over the years, so its life depends on how the room is used, cleaned and aired.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Shrunken sealant along the back of a worktop
- Black mould in the silicone that won’t clean off
- Leaking joints on a shower screen
- Damp behind the bath or under the tray
For an older house near a landmark such as Restalrig Parish Church, older homes can move a little, which is hard on rigid grout and tired sealant.
Questions to ask before you book
- What preparation is included
- Whether VAT is included
- Whether they’re fully insured
- Is the old sealant removed completely?
Your questions about bathroom resealing in Seafield
I let a flat near Edinburgh Waverley station. Can you help?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for. Just send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk with the address and what needs doing, and we will give you a clear quote.
Do you work in hotels near Seafield?
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.
Do you have insurance?
Yes. Full insurance covers our work.
Which products do you use?
We choose the sealant for the joint, not the other way round. Where it moves, gets wet or faces the weather makes a difference, and we will explain our choice.
Does the resealing come with a guarantee?
Yes. Every job carries our 12-month guarantee.
How do I get a quote for bathroom resealing in Seafield?
There’s no set price, as it depends on the job: how much there is, what’s there now, how we reach it and what it needs. We agree the price before any work begins.
Do you reseal kitchen worktops and sinks too?
Yes. The old sealant is cut out and the joint degreased, because cooking grease stops silicone sticking, then we reseal in a colour to suit.
How long does the new silicone need before I use the shower?
Around 24 hours is typical, and we confirm the time for the product used. Using it sooner can damage the bead.

Why deal with it now?
Running new silicone over the old joint can look tidy for a few weeks, but it can’t stick to what’s underneath. Water creeps under it and mould follows, and the next reseal means two layers to cut out. Private landlords in Seafield must meet the Repairing Standard, and damp or leaks can fall short of it, so failed sealant is best replaced before it becomes a complaint.
Commercial jobs are quoted on the same basis as homes: the amount of work, the access and the products needed. Call for a quick quote and we’ll explain what it covers.

DIY versus a professional finish
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. New silicone will not bond to old, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. Everything old must be removed first.
A DIY attempt doesn’t rule out a professional job. We remove it and do the joint properly, so tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Seafield
Hotels need rooms back in use, so the work can be planned room by room. Hotel work is part of what we do, alongside homes and businesses.
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, what’s needed and the access arrangements.
Seafield homes and their sealant
Seafield is close to the coast. Coastal homes, holiday lets and guest houses can see heavy bathroom use in busy months, and sealant and grout that work that hard wear out sooner. There are hotels and other places to stay in and around Seafield. Hotel bathrooms are part of our work as well as homes, and can be done room by room.
Managing a site like Leith Academy? Then we reseal washrooms and kitchens in schools and businesses as well as homes. Rented homes near Edinburgh Waverley station change hands often, and a reseal between tenants is a quick way to make the bathroom and kitchen look cared for.

Before we leave, we go over the finished joints with you and explain the cure time. The work normally takes half a day or less for one room, longer when the kitchen is included, depending on the size of the job. Many homes in Scotland’s cities are tenement flats, reached through a shared close and up a common stair. For a job in Seafield, tell us the floor, how the door entry system works and where we can park nearby.
- Protection goes down around the bath, shower or worktop.
- We cut away the old sealant and clean off what’s left.
