Craigentinny Remedial Sealant
We cover Craigentinny for removing failed, mouldy or leaking sealant and putting it right. Old sealant removed completely, joints prepared properly and every job guaranteed for a year.

Remedial sealant in Craigentinny, done properly
Remedial jobs in Craigentinny normally fall into a few patterns: over-sealed joints, hidden mould, repeat leaks and split movement joints. Each is stripped back and done again properly. We’re often asked to deal with black mould underneath the bead and sealant applied over old sealant that has lifted, on mouldy bath & shower sealant, expansion joints and botched or over-sealed joints.
Stone-built tenements are part of every Scottish city, alongside houses and newer flats. In a tenement, most bathrooms sit above someone else’s ceiling, so failed sealant around a bath or shower can soon become a neighbour’s problem, and that is as true in Craigentinny as anywhere in the city.
Every job is covered by a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Edinburgh.

How do I get a quote for remedial sealant in Craigentinny?
The cost depends on the size of the job, access and how much old sealant has to come out. Call for a quick quote.
What if the leak isn’t the sealant?
That’s why we look for the cause first. If the fault is elsewhere, you’ll know before any work is done.
Why deal with it now?
Mould under a bead can’t be reached by cleaning. The layers have to come out. Private landlords in Craigentinny must meet the Repairing Standard, and damp or leaks can fall short of it, so failed sealant is best replaced before it becomes a complaint.
What you pay reflects the work, not a rough estimate. That is why we ask about the job first and agree the price before starting.

Bathrooms and kitchens in Craigentinny
Craigentinny is close to the coast. Near the coast, holiday lets and guest houses can see bathrooms used by one guest after another, which wears sealant and grout out faster than in a quiet home. Scotland’s water is generally soft, so sealant and grout see less limescale than in much of England. But mould still grows into sealant and grout in a room that does not dry out.
If you live in an older home near Restalrig Parish Church, timber floors under older bathrooms flex, so joints need a sealant that moves with them. If you look after a building such as Portobello High School, its toilets, changing areas and kitchens need their sealant renewed like any other building’s.

- Shrunken worktop sealant
- Expansion joints
- Failed movement joints
- Mouldy bath & shower sealant
- Botched or over-sealed joints
Do you need remedial sealant in Craigentinny?
A lot of failed joints have been sealed over rather than replaced. Silicone doesn’t bond to silicone, so the new layer peels, and damp and mould settle between them.
If you can see any of these, it’s time to have the joints looked at:
- Thick, messy sealant smeared over tiles
- Torn expansion joints
- Dark patches showing through the sealant
- Sealant peeling off a dusty or damp surface
Rented homes near Brunstane station change hands often, and a joint that keeps failing is best fixed properly while the property is empty.

- What preparation is included

Surface by surface
Movement & expansion joints
A movement joint must be able to stretch. We remove the failed sealant, fit backing and reseal.
Mouldy bath & shower sealant
Mould that has grown into silicone does not clean out for good. All of it comes out, and the joint is treated and dried before anti-fungal sanitary silicone goes in.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Craigentinny
Letting agents and landlords in Craigentinny can book us as well as householders. Resealing between tenancies keeps a property looking cared for.
Hotels need rooms back in use, so the work can be planned room by room around your bookings where we can. Hotel work is part of what we do, alongside homes and businesses.

How it works
Our applicators work methodically: protection first, then preparation, sealing and a tidy-up. For most jobs that takes a few hours, depending on how many layers have to come out. For a tenement in Craigentinny, work inside your flat is between us and you, while shared parts may need the factor or neighbours to agree. Tell us which applies when you book.
- First we work out whether the problem is the sealant, movement or a leak.
- Each layer is cut out and the residue cleaned off.
- Mould is treated and the joint dried.
- We reseal with a product suited to the joint, backed where needed.
- We finish neatly and point out anything that needs another trade.
Before we arrive
- Tell us about any water getting in
- For business premises, tell us about site rules or sign-in
- Tell us about access, such as stairs, a lift or high-level joints

Aftercare tips
Aftercare is simple:
- Check trays and worktops do not move
- Look for stains below bathrooms now and then
- Keep the room well ventilated
- Never seal over old silicone
Keep an eye on the joint at first, especially if movement was the problem. Should anything change, drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk.
Don’t keep resealing the same joint. Get the cause found first, or the next bead will go the same way.
