Our bathroom resealing service in EH21
Across EH21, the joints we reseal are the ones that fail in any home: the long edge of the bath, the base of the shower tray, the back of the basin and the line along the worktop. Each one is stripped, cleaned and dried before new silicone goes in. We’re often asked to deal with water getting behind the bath panel and sealant that has split, shrunk or peeled away, on baths, kitchen worktops & upstands and shower trays & enclosures.
You do not need to clear the whole room or building, just the space around the work. We protect the rest, and the job takes half a day or less for one room, longer when the kitchen is included in most cases.
- First the area is protected and every bit of old sealant removed.
- 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.
- We clear away and tell you when it can get wet, generally after around 24 hours.

Bathroom resealing across EH21: local notes
In EH21, bathroom resealing takes in flats, houses, rentals and businesses, in Musselburgh, Wallyford and Shawfair and well beyond. The method is the same everywhere: old material cut out, joints cleaned and dried, and a fresh finish laid.
The west of Scotland is wetter than the east, but outside joints take plenty of weather everywhere. That shapes the choice of sealant for jobs across EH21. Along the coast in EH21, window and wall joints facing the sea take the brunt of the weather, and that is where sealant generally gives up first. Good preparation and the right sealant help it cope.
Musselburgh: If you let a flat or house near Musselburgh station, a reseal between tenants is a quick way to make the bathroom and kitchen look cared for. If you look after a building such as Loretto School, we reseal washrooms and kitchens in schools and businesses as well as homes.
What affects the cost of bathroom resealing
There’s no set price list. What we look at:
- The type of sealant required
- How many areas need sealing
- Whether old sealant or filler has to be cut out
- Whether the work is at height
Leaving a failed joint usually makes the job bigger, not smaller, as water and mould keep getting in. If you are unsure, email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk and we’ll give you an honest view and a quote.
What we need to know
What to tell us when you ask for a quote:
- A few photos by email, if you can
- Any access issues, like height or stairs
- The rough size of the job
- The type of property
Getting a quote is simple: let us know what needs doing and where and its rough size. Photos by email help us understand the job, and we will come back to you with a quote.
Why deal with it now?
Most of the work in a good reseal happens before any silicone goes on: cutting out every trace of the old bead, cleaning, treating mould and letting the joint dry. Without that preparation, the new bead won’t last.

Landlord and commercial work in EH21
Businesses can book us for washrooms, kitchens, offices and more. For commercial premises, we can talk through working times when we quote.
We work for letting agents and landlords as well as homeowners. Sealant work between tenants keeps a property looking cared for before the next move-in.
When something else is needed
Some problems need a builder, plumber or other trade rather than us:
- Movement from a bath with loose feet or no proper support
- Failed grout lines across the wall
- Damage behind the tiles that needs a tiler
Aftercare tips
Joint life depends on how it’s used and looked after. Here’s what we suggest:
- Dry the bead with a towel now and then
- Run the extractor fan during and after every shower
- Wipe up water along the back of the worktop
- Avoid abrasive pads on the sealant
Clean the silicone with care: 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.
Small signs come before a leak: a corner lifting, a gap behind the bead, a dark line under the silicone or a damp patch on the ceiling below. Any of these means the joint needs attention.
EH21 questions
Can I choose the colour of the sealant?
You are not limited to white: clear, white and colours chosen to suit the room. We will talk it through when we quote.
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.
Do you come to EH21?
Yes. We cover EH21. To book, send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk.
How do I get a quote for bathroom resealing in EH21?
There’s no set price, as it depends on the job: its size, the old material, access and the product needed. You will get a clear quote before we start.
Is it messy?
We keep the work tidy. Nearby surfaces are protected, and we clear up when we are done.
How long will the resealing take?
It depends on how many joints there are and how much old sealant has to come out. Allow a couple of hours for a typical bath or shower.
Will the old sealant be removed?
Yes, every time. New sealant won’t bond properly to old, so the joint is cleaned back first.
