About our bathroom resealing in Warriston
Sealant that’s mouldy, cracked or peeling shouldn’t be left until there’s a leak. A photo of the joints helps when you email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk, and we will give you a clear quote before any work starts. We work on shower trays & enclosures, wet rooms and sinks & splashbacks, and people most often call us about two layers of silicone, both failing and black mould in the silicone that won’t clean off.
Scotland’s cities have a lot of flats, from sandstone or granite tenements to modern blocks, as well as houses in the suburbs. 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.
All our work comes with our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Edinburgh.

When to call us in Warriston
A bath shifts a little every time it’s filled and emptied. An acrylic bath flexes under load, and a tray that isn’t fully bedded can rock. Over time the joint tears or pulls away from the tile.
The problems people usually mention when they call include:
- Lumpy, uneven sealant from a DIY attempt
- Gaps where the bath or tray has moved
- Gaps between the worktop and the wall
- A reseal done over the top of the old bead
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Drummond Community High School, washroom and kitchen sealant there needs the same care as at home, and schools and businesses are part of our work as well as homes.

Bathrooms and kitchens in Warriston
Warriston is close to the coast. Near the coast, holiday lets and guest houses can see bathrooms used by one guest after another, which wears sealant and grout out faster than in a quiet home. 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 doesn’t dry out.
In the older streets around St Serf's Church, timber floors under older bathrooms flex, so joints need a sealant that moves with them. For landlords with property near Edinburgh Waverley station, fresh sealant around the bath, shower and sink between tenancies helps a property present well and keeps leaks at bay.

Work for landlords, hotels and businesses
Water getting past a failed joint can damage the building, which is a bigger problem in a rented property. Resealing at the right time is simple maintenance.
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.
Surface by surface
Shower trays & enclosures
Water often gets past the wall profile of a shower enclosure. We reseal it along with the base of the enclosure, sealing the side the enclosure’s instructions call for.
Sinks & splashbacks
Next to the sink, the sealant has to cope with constant water, and a food-safe product where it’s needed. The bead is finished smooth so it wipes clean.
Aftercare tips
No joint lasts for ever, but care makes a real difference. A few tips:
- Keep bottles off the sealant line
- Look for lifting corners and small gaps now and then
- Let new sealant cure fully before it gets wet
- Squeegee the walls and tray after use
Good ventilation does more than any cleaner. Use the fan, or open a window, while you bathe and for a while afterwards, so the bead dries out between uses.
A split bead lets water through every time the bath or shower is used. Over time that water reaches floors, walls and ceilings. Early resealing closes the gap before damage is done.

Questions from Warriston
Do you take on hotel work around Warriston?
Yes. Hotel and guest-house work is part of what we do. Work can be planned room by room, and out-of-hours working can be arranged.
Could a leaking bath seal in my Warriston 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.
Are you insured?
Yes. We are fully insured, and we have been doing sealant work for more than 20 years.
Will you leave a mess?
Not at all. We work neatly, protect the area around the joints and tidy up afterwards.
What should I tell you?
Tell us what needs doing and where, plus pictures if you have them. We’ll ask anything else we need to know.
Will there be a smell?
Sometimes, a little. Any smell clears as the sealant cures.
Do you guarantee your resealing?
Yes. We give a 12-month guarantee on every job, and we are ARBOMaster approved applicators.
Can I do it myself?
Sometimes. Preparation is everything: all the old sealant out, and a clean, dry joint. We can always put it right if it fails.

The process
When we get to you, we check the joints match what you told us. If anything is different, we explain it before carrying on. After that, the work takes two to three hours for a typical bath, depending on how much old sealant there is. In a city area like Warriston, parking may be by permit or pay-and-display, so tell us what’s nearby. If you’re in a flat, let us know how we get in at the street door.
- We protect the area and cut out all of the old sealant.
- Next, the joint is cleaned and any mould is treated.
- Once it’s dry, any bath is filled so the bead is laid with it at its heaviest.
- A single bead of anti-fungal sanitary silicone is applied and tooled smooth.
- Finally we tidy up and explain the cure time before we leave.
Before we arrive
- Let us know about stairs, lifts or work at height
- Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit
