Bathroom resealing in EH26: how it works
With over 20 years in the trade, we reseal baths, showers and kitchens in homes across EH26. We are ARBOMaster approved and fully insured, and the work comes with a 12-month guarantee. Common call-outs are for a joint torn by a bath that flexes and water getting behind the kitchen upstand, across baths, kitchen worktops & upstands and sinks & splashbacks.
Once we’re on site, we check the joints match what you told us. If we find something unexpected, we talk it through with you first. After that, the work takes half a day or less for one room, longer when the kitchen is included.
- We protect the area and cut out all of the old sealant, including the film left on the tiles.
- The joint is cleaned, degreased and treated for mould.
- The joint is left to dry, and baths are filled with water first.
- New anti-fungal silicone goes on in a colour to suit and is tooled to a clean finish.
- We tidy up and give you the cure time, generally around 24 hours.

Bathroom resealing across EH26: local notes
Our bathroom resealing work across EH26 covers homes, rentals and businesses, in Penicuik, Milton Bridge and Auchendinny and well beyond. Wherever the job is, all the old material comes out before anything new goes in.
The west of Scotland is wetter than the east, but outside joints take plenty of weather everywhere, while generally soft water means less limescale indoors but no less mould. That shapes the choice of sealant for jobs across EH26.
Penicuik: Managing a site like Beeslack Community High School? Then 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. In and around Penicuik, as anywhere, good bathroom resealing starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint.
Can I do it myself?
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and doesn’t move well, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
How the job changes by surface
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.
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.
Common problems we fix in EH26
Not every tube in the shop is meant for a shower. Acrylic caulk and general-purpose sealants aren’t designed for a joint that’s wet every day, so they stain, crack or go mouldy before long. A bathroom joint needs anti-fungal sanitary silicone.
These are the problems we’re asked about most:
- Failed sealant on the screen profile
- A messy, uneven bead from a previous reseal
- New sealant laid over old sealant that is now lifting
- Water getting behind the kitchen upstand
Quotes for bathroom resealing in EH26
Some jobs are bigger than they look, and some smaller. The main factors:
- Whether old sealant or filler has to be cut out
- Whether the work is at height
- Which sealant suits the joint
- The size of the job
Some things make a job bigger or smaller: the old material and how easily it comes out, any mould to treat, and whether we need extra access for height. We take all of that into account in your quote.

FAQs for EH26
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are glad to have it sorted.
How do I get a quote for bathroom resealing in EH26?
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. You will get a clear quote before work begins.
Are you an approved applicator?
Yes. Mr Mastic is an ARBOMaster approved applicator and we are fully insured too.
Where is Mr Mastic based?
We are a Crawley-based firm. Our area covers South East England, London and Scotland.
Can landlords and businesses book you?
Yes. We work in homes, commercial premises and hotels.
Do you do kitchens as well as bathrooms?
Yes. The old sealant is cut out and the joint degreased, because cooking grease stops silicone sticking, then a colour-matched bead is laid.
Can you do several jobs on one visit?
Of course. Doing several areas at once is generally more efficient, so mention them when you ask for a quote.
