How bathroom resealing works in EH3
A bead that has gone black, split or come away shouldn’t be left until there’s a leak. A photo of the joints helps when you drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk, and you will get a clear quote for bathroom resealing in EH3. We work on baths, wet rooms and kitchen worktops & upstands, and the jobs we see most are water escaping at the shower enclosure and damp behind the bath or under the tray.
There isn’t much for you to do on the day. Show us the job and we’ll take it from there. The work itself takes a morning or an afternoon for most single baths and showers, including the tidy-up.
- We protect the area and cut out all of the old sealant.
- We clean and degrease the joint and treat any mould.
- The joint is left to dry, and baths are filled with water first.
- 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.
What you will pay
We don’t show prices on the website, because the cost depends so much on the job itself. For a quick quote, please email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk.

Bathroom resealing across EH3: local notes
In EH3, bathroom resealing takes in flats, houses, rentals and businesses, in Greenside, Broughton and Bellevue and well beyond. Wherever the job is, all the old material comes out before anything new goes in.
We work across all of Scotland, from the cities to the islands, and EH3 is part of that. Journeys are planned ahead, and outside jobs are booked around the forecast. EH3 includes coastal places, where outside joints face more wind, rain and salt than they would inland. Joints on seaward walls tend to fail first.
Silvermills: If you live in an older home near St Stephen's Church, older homes can move a little, which is hard on rigid grout and tired sealant. 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.
Landlords, agents and businesses in EH3
Failed sealant is one of the commonest items on a check-out report. We can quote for more than one property at once.
Water getting past a failed joint can damage the building, which matters even more when someone else lives there. Keeping joints in good order is simple maintenance.
Should I try it myself first?
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is.
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.
Common problems we fix in EH3
Older sealant shrinks and hardens. In kitchens it often shrinks away from the back edge, opening a hairline gap that lets water and crumbs in. Heat from the hob and strong sprays speed it along.
The most common problems we see are:
- Black mould in the silicone that won’t clean off
- A joint torn by a bath that flexes
- Two layers of silicone, both failing
- Lumpy, uneven sealant from a DIY attempt
What affects the quote in EH3
We don’t publish a price list, because jobs vary so much. The quote depends on:
- Access and height
- When we can work, for business premises
- How many rooms, windows or areas are involved
- The number and length of the joints
Rather than a set price list, we look at what your job involves: the amount of work, the old material and the access. The price is agreed before we begin.
Helping us quote
To make quoting easier, let us know:
- The problem you’ve noticed
- Pictures of the joints, sent by email
- The rough size of the job
- Access, such as stairs, a lift or height
We don’t publish a price list. Instead, we give you a clear price for your job. To get started, send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk.
Leave it or put it right?
Sorting it now is quick: the work takes two to three hours for a typical bath, depending on how much old sealant there is. Left until water gets through, the job can grow to lifting panels, drying out and decorating.

EH3 questions
Do you come to EH3?
Yes. We cover EH3, as part of our work across South East England, London and Scotland. To book, send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. Full insurance covers our work.
Do you do commercial work?
Yes. We work in offices, washrooms, hotels and other commercial premises, as well as homes. We can talk about working times when we quote.
Do you take out the old sealant first?
Yes, always, and completely. New sealant won’t bond properly to old, so any old material comes out before anything new goes in.
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.
Where do you work from?
Our base is Crawley. We work across South East England, London and Scotland.
Is it messy?
Not at all. The area is protected while we work and cleaned up afterwards.
