Remedial sealant & repairs in Curriehill, Edinburgh
We cover Curriehill for removing failed, mouldy or leaking sealant and putting it right. Old material cut out, joints cleaned and sealed neatly and every job guaranteed for a year.

- Floor or wall movement joints that have failed
- Leaks that keep coming back after resealing
How we handle remedial sealant in Curriehill
If a joint fails again and again, something is causing it. Movement, the wrong product or a leak from somewhere else will beat any new bead. Finding that cause comes before any new sealant. If you have kitchen joints letting water behind the worktop and sealant applied over old sealant that has lifted, we can help, whatever the surface.
For a place like Curriehill, the job is the same as anywhere: old material out, joints cleaned and dried, and a fresh, even finish. The journey and access are simply planned in advance.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything isn’t right with it, send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk.

Surface by surface
Mouldy bath & shower sealant
Mould often spreads under the bead as well as through it. We treat the exposed joint once the bead is out.
Over-sealed & botched joints
A thick bead smeared across tiles often hides mould or gaps. Taking it back shows what’s underneath, and then we reseal it neatly.
FAQs for Curriehill
I let a flat near Curriehill station. Can you help?
Yes. We work for letting agents and landlords as well as homeowners, and several properties can be quoted together. You can send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk with the details for a clear quote.
Is Curriehill in your area for remedial sealant?
Yes, Curriehill is within the area we cover. Our work covers the whole of Scotland. You can drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk and tell us what needs doing, and we’ll give you a clear quote.
Does remedial work come with a guarantee?
Yes. You get our 12-month guarantee, and we’re ARBOMaster approved.
Will you leave a mess?
Not at all. We work neatly, protect the area around the joints and tidy up afterwards.
Does someone need to be in?
That depends on where the joints are. For work indoors, someone needs to let us in, while outside work can sometimes be arranged differently.
Do you do commercial work?
Yes. Commercial and hotel work is a large part of what we do. Working times can be discussed when we quote.
How long does the work take?
A little longer than a standard reseal. Most jobs take a few hours, and we confirm the time with your quote.
Can old silicone be taken off without scratching the tiles?
Yes. We avoid heavy scraping and use the right cleaner for each surface.
Should I try it myself first?
A DIY attempt does not rule out a professional job. We remove it and do the joint properly, so just mention it when you contact us.
Not every job suits DIY: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs need the right product, the right access and the right method.
How the visit works
On the day, we look over the joints with you first. We protect the surfaces around the joints before work begins. Most jobs take a few hours, depending on how many layers have to come out. Outdoor work around Curriehill depends on the weather, as sealant needs a dry surface, so an outdoor job can move if the forecast changes. Work indoors isn’t affected.
- First we work out whether the problem is the sealant, movement or a leak.
- Old beads and residue are removed down to clean surfaces.
- We treat any mould and dry the joint thoroughly.
- The right product goes in, with backing where the joint moves.
- The joint is tooled and you’re told about anything else we found.
Before we arrive
- Keep children and pets away from the work area
- Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed
- For business premises, tell us about site rules or sign-in

Related advice
What happens if it’s left?
Remedial work takes longer than a straight reseal, but rarely a lot: the work takes a few hours for most joints, depending on how much old sealant has to come out. Compared with chasing the same leak every few months, it’s time well spent. In a place like Curriehill, small leaks are easy to put off, but water behind a failed seal does the most damage when nobody’s watching.
The cost reflects the work involved, not guesswork. That is why we ask about the job first and agree the price before starting.
Why us?
- Any old sealant cut out fully, not covered over
- Fully insured
- 20+ years of sealant experience
- Quality sealants from Arbo and Everbuild

How to look after the new joints
Joint life depends on how it’s used and looked after. We suggest:
- Deal with small splits early
- Find out why the sealant failed first
- Do not add new sealant on top of old
- Air the bathroom so the sealant can dry
Give the new sealant its full cure time: usually around 24 hours, or as long as we advise.
Mould trapped under over-sealed joints spreads unseen. When it finally shows, the whole bead needs to come out.
What we are called out for in Curriehill
Joints that move need sealant that can stretch. A bath that flexes, a tray that rocks or a building joint that opens and closes will split a rigid or thin bead.
Look out for any of the following:
- Over-sealed joints coming away
- Smears and lumps from a botched reseal
- Sealant peeling off a dusty or damp surface
- Dark patches showing through the sealant
If you live in an older home near Currie Kirk, timber floors under older bathrooms flex, so joints need a sealant that moves with them.
