Remedial sealant for homes and businesses in Bruntsfield
In Bruntsfield, as anywhere, remedial jobs tend to look alike: over-sealed joints, hidden mould, repeat leaks and split movement joints. Each is stripped back and done again properly. If you’re dealing with gaps opening along the back of the worktop and mould trapped under a layer of silicone, we can help.
In Scotland’s cities, including the area around Bruntsfield, many older flats had their bathrooms added into small rooms later on. Space is tight and ventilation can be poor, and steam with nowhere to go is what turns sealant black and grout grey.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If there’s a problem with it, please drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk.

When to call us in Bruntsfield
Water from somewhere else can ruin a good seal. A leaking valve, a failed waste or cracked grout feeds water behind the bead, so the silicone goes mouldy or lets go.
The problems people normally mention when they call are:
- Wide, uneven beads that look worse than the old ones
- Caulk or the wrong sealant used in a wet area
- Gaps opening along the back of the worktop
- Repeat leaks from the same joint
Managing a site like Boroughmuir 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.
Questions to ask before you book
- What preparation is included
- How hidden problems are handled

DIY sealant or a professional job?
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.
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions, and the work is guaranteed for a year.
How it works
Most of a good job is in the preparation, so that’s where we spend the time. Joints are cleaned back and dried before anything new goes in. All told, the work takes a few hours, depending on how many layers have to come out. In a Scottish city, a lot of jobs are in tenement flats, up a common stair from a shared close. For a job in Bruntsfield, tell us the floor, how the door entry system works and where we can park nearby.
- We look at how the sealant has failed and check for movement or a leak path.
- Every layer of old sealant is cut and cleaned out.
- Next, any mould is treated and the joint dried.
- We use the right backing and sealant for any joint that moves.
- Finally we finish the joint and talk you through what we found.
Preparing for the visit
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Tell us about any water getting in
- Mention any parking rules near the property

What sealant work cannot fix
Honest advice matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what new sealant will not do:
- A tray or worktop that needs refixing first
- Leaks from a shower valve, waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
- A cracked shower tray or bath (that needs repair or replacing)
If you are not sure, just email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk and we’ll give you a straight answer.
Joints and surfaces we work on
- Shrunken worktop sealant
- Expansion joints
- Botched or over-sealed joints
- Leaking tray & enclosure joints
- Mouldy bath & shower sealant
- Failed movement joints
Aftercare tips
To keep the joints looking good and working properly:
- Act on a lifting corner right away
- Always have old sealant cut out, not covered
- Use a soft cloth, not a scourer, on silicone
- Keep an eye on the ceiling below the bathroom
Watch the joint over the first few weeks, particularly where the original failure was caused by movement. Should anything change, send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk.
A failing joint rarely gets better on its own. Each use pushes more water behind the bead, into floors, walls or ceilings. Sorting it early limits the damage.
Bruntsfield questions
Do you work for hotels and guest houses in Bruntsfield?
Yes, hospitality work, including hotels, is part of what we do. Jobs can be programmed room by room, with out-of-hours working possible to arrange.
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Haymarket station?
Yes, we work for landlords and letting agents. Just drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk and tell us about the property, and we will give you a clear quote.
Can you reseal a split movement joint?
Yes. The depth is set with backing so the sealant only bonds to the two sides, which lets it stretch.
Where is Mr Mastic based?
We’re based in Crawley, West Sussex, and we cover South East England, London and all of Scotland.
What if the leak isn’t the sealant?
We will tell you. A cracked tray, faulty valve or leaking waste needs a different trade, and we won’t reseal for the sake of it.
How much does remedial sealant cost in Bruntsfield?
The cost depends on the size of the job, access and how much old sealant has to come out. Ask us for a quote.
Will the old sealant be removed?
Yes. Sealing over the old bead is the commonest cause of early failure, so we never do it.
Will there be a smell?
There can be a smell while the sealant cures. Opening a window helps.
For landlords and businesses
From a single let to a portfolio, you get the same standard of work: old sealant fully removed, joints prepared properly and a one-year guarantee.
Mouldy or split sealant often shows up at the end of a tenancy. Several properties can go on one quote.
