About our remedial sealant in Currie
A joint that keeps letting you down needs more than another bead. Send pictures when you drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk. If you have decorators’ caulk around a bath or shower and repeat leaks from the same joint, we can put it right, on failed movement joints, leaking tray & enclosure joints and mouldy bath & shower sealant alike.
Bathrooms in smaller places like Currie work just as hard as those in the cities. Generally soft Scottish water means less limescale, but steam still lets mould into sealant and grout.
All of our work is guaranteed for twelve months.

What happens on the day
Once we’re on site, we compare the joints with what we discussed. If we find something unexpected, we talk it through with you first. After that, the work takes a few hours for most joints, depending on how much old sealant has to come out. Outdoor work around Currie depends on the weather, as sealant needs a dry surface, so an outdoor job can move if the forecast changes. Indoor work goes ahead whatever the weather.
- Surrounding tiles, trays and frames are protected first.
- The botched or failed sealant is cut away completely.
- The joint is degreased and checked for movement and leaks.
- Once dry, a suitable sealant is applied and tooled.
- You get the cure time and our view on why the joint failed.
Preparing for the visit
- Clear the area around the work
- Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive

Your questions about remedial sealant in Currie
Do you cover Currie for remedial sealant?
Yes. We work across all of Scotland, and Currie is part of that. Just email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk with a few details of the job, and we will give you a clear quote.
Do you work for landlords with property near Curriehill station?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for. Just drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk with the address and what needs doing, and we will give you a clear price.
What if resealing will not fix my leak?
We check for that before we reseal. If the fault is elsewhere, you’ll know before any work is done.
Should I try DIY first?
You can, for simple jobs. The key is preparation: remove all the old material and work on a clean, dry joint. If it does not work out, we can redo it.
Can you remove old sealant without damaging the bath?
Yes. Residue is removed with a product suited to the surface rather than scraped hard.
What do you put in the joint?
We choose the sealant for the joint, not the other way round. Where it moves, gets wet or faces the weather makes a difference, and we’ll tell you what we’re using.
Will the old sealant be removed?
Always. Sealing over the old bead is the commonest cause of early failure, and it’s something we never do.
Do you offer different sealant colours?
In most cases you can choose. We will explain which colours are available.
For landlords and businesses
Water getting past a failed joint can damage the building, which is a bigger problem in a rented property. Resealing at the right time is simple maintenance that we can handle for you.
We also work for property managers and facilities teams in Currie and across Edinburgh. We can quote a run of properties together, and we are fully insured for the work.

What the job involves on each surface
Leaking trays & enclosures
Repeat shower leaks often come from a tray that flexes or an enclosure sealed in the wrong place. Both are checked before we reseal.
Windows & doors
Wrong-coloured or messy mastic can be replaced for appearance too, in a colour that suits the frame.
Remedial sealant around Currie
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. In Scotland, private landlords have to meet the Repairing Standard, which includes keeping fixtures and fittings in reasonable repair. Failed sealant around a bath or shower is worth sorting between tenancies.
Managing a site like Currie High School? Then its toilets, changing areas and kitchens need their sealant renewed like any other building’s. In the older streets around Currie Kirk, walls and floors in older homes can move, and sealant and grout show it first. Letting a property close to Curriehill station? Then a joint that keeps failing is best fixed properly while the property is empty.

Keeping the joints in good condition
Good habits help new joints last longer. A few tips:
- Never fill a movement joint with mortar or grout
- Check ceilings under showers for marks
- Keep the room well ventilated
- Don’t wait for a small gap to become a leak
Keep an eye on the joint at first, especially if movement was the problem. Should anything change, send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk.
Mould under a second layer of sealant keeps growing out of sight. When it finally shows, the whole bead needs to come out.
Why act early in Currie
Mould under a bead cannot be reached by cleaning. Removal is the only way to get at it, and the joint treated and dried before resealing. In a place like Currie, small leaks are easy to put off, but water through a failed joint keeps working away until it’s fixed.
The cost reflects the work involved, not a rough estimate. That’s why we ask a few questions first.
