Bathroom resealing across EH18: what to expect
Mr Mastic has more than 20 years’ experience of sealant work, and our applicators reseal bathrooms and kitchens across EH18. We are ARBOMaster approved and fully insured, and every job carries our one-year guarantee. We work on wet rooms, shower trays & enclosures and baths, and people most often call us about shrunken sealant along the back of a worktop and cracked, shrunken or lifting silicone.
Every visit runs the same way: we check the joints, protect the area around them, do the work and clear up. It normally takes a morning or an afternoon for most single baths and showers.
- We protect the area and cut out all of the old sealant.
- The joint is cleaned, degreased and treated for mould.
- Once it’s dry, any bath is filled so the bead is laid with it at its heaviest.
- 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.

Bathroom resealing across EH18: local notes
Our bathroom resealing work across EH18 covers homes, rentals and businesses, from Bonnyrigg, Lasswade and Polton to the quieter places in between. Wherever the job is, all the old material comes out before anything new goes in.
Homes in Scotland come with their own details: sash and case windows, harled walls and, in the towns and cities, tenement flats. EH18 is part of the area we cover across Scotland.
Polton: Homes close to St Leaonard's Episcopal Church include some older properties, and bathrooms in older houses have often been refitted more than once, with sealant laid over sealant. If you let a flat or house near Eskbank station, fresh sealant around the bath, shower and sink between tenancies helps a property present well and keeps leaks at bay.
Signs you need bathroom resealing
The wrong product fails fast. Decorators’ caulk and all-purpose sealants are not made for constant wetting, so they crack, discolour or grow mould quickly. A bathroom joint needs anti-fungal sanitary silicone.
Any of these means the joints need attention:
- Gaps between the worktop and the wall
- Damp behind the bath or under the tray
- Splits where the tray meets the wall
- A bead that has pulled away from the tiles
Landlord and commercial work in EH18
Whether it’s one flat or a portfolio, the work is the same standard: old sealant fully removed, joints prepared properly and a one-year guarantee.
Landlords and letting agents in EH18 can book us as well as householders. Sealant work between tenants keeps a property looking cared for before the next move-in.
DIY versus a professional finish
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that’s fine. We remove it and do the joint properly, so just mention it when you contact us.
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, such as a straightforward joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
Keeping the joints in good condition
Joint life depends on how it’s used and looked after. We suggest:
- Open a window or run the fan so the room dries
- Use gentle cleaners on the silicone
- Avoid abrasive pads on the sealant
- Move toiletries away from the joint
Treat the new bead gently when you clean: a mild bathroom cleaner and a soft cloth is enough. Scourers and blades can nick the surface, because a damaged bead gives mould a foothold.
There’s no need to wait for a full refurbishment. Sealant is a maintenance item, like the paint on a window frame, and replacing it when it fails protects the rest of the room.
Different surfaces, different methods
Shower trays & enclosures
The vertical joint where a screen profile meets the wall is a common leak point. We reseal it along with the base of the enclosure, following the enclosure maker’s guidance on which side to seal.
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.
EH18 questions
Are you insured?
Yes, we are fully insured.
Can landlords and businesses book you?
Yes. We work in homes, commercial premises and hotels.
Can you get rid of the black mould in my sealant?
Yes. Mould inside the bead rarely cleans out for good, so the bead comes out, the joint is treated and new anti-fungal silicone goes in.
Does the resealing come with a guarantee?
Yes. Our 12-month guarantee covers every job, and we’re fully insured.
How much does bathroom resealing cost in EH18?
Every job is different, so each one gets its own quote. To get one, send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk and let us know what needs doing and where.
Does someone need to be in?
That depends on where the joints are. For work indoors, someone needs to let us in, while outside work can sometimes be arranged differently.
Will it make a mess?
We keep the work tidy. We protect what’s around the joints, and the area is left clean when we finish.
