Remedial sealant & repairs in Dean Village, Edinburgh
Remedial sealant across Dean Village and nearby, with every bit of old sealant taken out first.

- Floor or wall movement joints that have failed
What the job involves on each surface
Leaking trays & enclosures
If the tray is cracked, or the leak is from the valve or waste, sealant will not fix it. We will tell you what we find.
Windows & doors
Wrong-coloured or messy mastic can be replaced for appearance too, matched to the frame colour.
Remedial sealant in Dean Village, done properly
A movement joint stops working when its sealant splits or sets hard. We cut out the failed sealant and set the depth with backing, before resealing with a flexible product suited to the movement. We work on leaking tray & enclosure joints, botched or over-sealed joints and failed movement joints, and the jobs we see most are leaks that keep coming back after resealing and smears and lumps from a botched reseal.
Scotland’s cities have a lot of flats, from sandstone or granite tenements to modern blocks, as well as houses in the suburbs. Scottish water is generally soft, so limescale is less of a problem than in hard-water areas, but mould still grows into sealant and grout in a steamy bathroom.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you are covered after we’ve gone.

Can I do it myself?
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, such as a straightforward joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
If you’re set on DIY, put the effort into preparation: remove every trace of old sealant, clean and dry the joint, and follow the product’s cure time. If it fails, we can still redo it.
What remedial sealant looks like in Dean Village
Dean Village is within about 2 miles of the coast. Coastal homes, holiday lets and guest houses can see heavy bathroom use in busy months, and sealant and grout that work that hard wear out sooner. Dean Village has hotels and guest accommodation nearby. Hotel bathrooms are part of our work as well as homes, and can be done room by room.
Rented homes near Haymarket station change hands often, and failed or mouldy sealant is worth putting right between tenancies, before it turns into a leak. Schools such as St Mary's Music School are buildings too, and its toilets, changing areas and kitchens need their sealant renewed like any other building’s.

How it works
You don’t need to clear the whole room or building, just the space around the work. Everything nearby is protected, and the job takes a few hours for a typical bath or shower, longer where several layers have been applied in most cases. Parking in city streets around Dean Village can be tight or controlled, so it helps to know about permits or nearby bays. For flats, mention the door entry system and any shared-stair arrangements.
- The failure is looked at first, so we know whether it’s sealant, movement or water from elsewhere.
- 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.
Getting ready for the visit
- Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work
- Let us know about parking restrictions
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive

What do you need from me for a quote?
The location, the problem and the rough size of the job. If you can, email a few pictures.
Someone sealed over the old bead. Can you fix it?
Yes. Both layers come out; over-sealing fails because silicone won’t bond to silicone.

Are you ARBOMaster approved?
Yes. Mr Mastic is an ARBOMaster approved applicator.
When to call us in Dean Village
Joints that move need sealant that can stretch. Flexing baths, rocking trays and building movement joints split any bead that is too stiff or too thin.
These are the problems we are asked about most:
- Sealant that came away because the surface wasn’t prepared
- Thick, messy sealant smeared over tiles
- A second bead peeling off the first
- Dark patches showing through the sealant
If you live in an older home near Holy Trinity Episcopal Church, walls and floors in older homes can move, and sealant and grout show it first.
