Remedial sealant & repairs in Eastfield, Edinburgh
Our applicators work in Eastfield on removing failed, mouldy or leaking sealant and putting it right. Old sealant removed completely, joints prepared properly and a 12-month guarantee.

- Decorators’ caulk around a bath or shower
- Thick, messy sealant smeared over tiles
How the job changes by surface
Worktops & kitchens
Kitchen joints often have grease and cleaning residue deep in them, so cleaning takes longer than in a bathroom.
Movement & expansion joints
A movement joint must be able to stretch. We remove the failed sealant, fit backing and reseal.
Remedial sealant for homes and businesses in Eastfield
If a joint has been resealed and is leaking again, it’s worth a proper look. It helps to have pictures when you send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk. If you are dealing with gaps opening along the back of the worktop and dark patches showing through the sealant, we can help, on botched or over-sealed joints, failed movement joints and mouldy bath & shower sealant alike.
Being further from a city does not change the work: 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, email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Eastfield
For anyone letting property in or around Eastfield, several properties can go on one quote. Just tell us the addresses and what each one needs, and photos by email help.
Failed sealant is one of the commonest items on a check-out report. We can quote for more than one property at once.
When to call us in Eastfield
How a joint is built matters as much as the product. Sealant packed too deep, or stuck to the back of the joint as well as the sides, cannot stretch, so it tears when the joint moves. Backing rod or bond-breaker tape prevents it.
These are the problems we are asked about most:
- A shower that leaks however often it’s resealed
- Mould trapped under a layer of silicone
- Products that weren’t meant for the joint
- Worktop sealant that has shrunk and split
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Loretto School, its toilets, changing areas and kitchens need their sealant renewed like any other building’s.

The process
The work is kept neat and contained to the area we are working on. The job generally takes a few hours for most joints, depending on how much old sealant has to come out, and we tell you how long to leave it before we go. In smaller Scottish places, parking is normally less of an issue than access and distance. Tell us how to find the property and how to reach the work, and the visit is planned around that.
- Surrounding tiles, trays and frames are protected first.
- Every layer of failed sealant is stripped out.
- We clean and degrease the joint and look for signs of movement or water.
- Once dry, a suitable sealant is applied and tooled.
- We give you the cure time and explain what caused the failure.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know about stairs, lifts or work at height
- Clear items away from the joints we are working on
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before

Leave it or put it right?
DIY removal often leaves scratches and a film of residue, and any film left behind stops new sealant sticking. Careful stripping is where most of our time goes. Around Eastfield, water from a failed joint in an older stone home can soak into timber and plaster.
No two jobs are quite the same, so we quote each one individually. The number of joints, how easy they are to reach and the sealant needed all make a difference, and we will explain the quote if you ask.

Bathrooms and kitchens in Eastfield
Eastfield 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. Scottish Water supplies are generally soft, so limescale is less of a problem than in hard-water areas. Mould is another matter: a bathroom that stays damp still turns sealant and grout black.
If you let a flat or house near Brunstane station, failed or mouldy sealant is worth putting right between tenancies, before it turns into a leak. For an older house near a landmark such as St Philip's Parish Church, bathrooms in older houses have often been refitted more than once, with sealant laid over sealant.

Should I try it myself first?
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and does not move well, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.
A DIY attempt doesn’t rule out a professional job. We cut it out and start again.
Your questions about remedial sealant in Eastfield
Do you take on hotel work around Eastfield?
Yes, we work for hotels as well as homes and businesses. Rooms can be done a few at a time, so the building stays open.
Do you work for landlords with property near Brunstane station?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for, and several properties can go on one quote. You can email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk with the details for a clear quote.
Can you remove old sealant without damaging the bath?
Yes. Residue is removed with a product suited to the surface rather than scraped hard.
Do you remove the old sealant?
Yes. We cut out all the old sealant and clean the joint.
How long does remedial resealing take?
A little longer than a standard reseal. For most joints, it’s a few hours.
Can you take off two layers of silicone?
Yes. We remove every layer; new silicone does not bond to old silicone, which is why over-sealing fails.
Does remedial work come with a guarantee?
Yes. Remedial work carries the same 12-month guarantee as all our work.
Are you an approved applicator?
Yes. We hold ARBOMaster approved applicator status and we are fully insured too.
