Remedial sealant for homes and businesses in Ingliston
If a joint fails again and again, something is causing it. Movement, the wrong product or a leak from somewhere else will defeat even a perfect bead. We look for the cause before we reseal. We work on botched or over-sealed joints, shrunken worktop sealant and mouldy bath & shower sealant, and common reasons people get in touch are worktop sealant that has shrunk and split and a second bead peeling off the first.
Bathrooms in smaller places like Ingliston 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.
We stand behind the work with a 12-month guarantee.

When to call us in Ingliston
Some joints fail because water is reaching them from behind. A slow leak behind the tiles soaks the joint from the back, so the silicone goes mouldy or lets go.
Most people get in touch when they notice something like this:
- Gaps opening along the back of the worktop
- Thick, messy sealant smeared over tiles
- A second bead peeling off the first
- Movement joints that have split or pulled away
If you let a flat or house near Edinburgh Gateway station, botched sealant from a previous quick fix is easier to strip out between tenants.
What your quote should include
- What happens if they find a problem under the old sealant
- Whether all the old sealant comes out first
- What the quote includes, VAT included or not
- Are they insured?
What happens if it’s left?
A joint that has failed twice will fail again unless the cause is dealt with. Taking time to find the cause, whether it’s movement, a leak or the wrong product, is what stops it happening again. Around Ingliston, water from a failed joint in an older stone home can soak into timber and plaster.
A failed joint rarely gets cheaper to fix by waiting, because water and mould keep working on it. If you’re unsure, send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk for an honest opinion and a quote.

Questions from Ingliston
Do you cover smaller places like Ingliston?
Yes. Ingliston is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. We work across all of Scotland. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Do you work in hotels near Ingliston?
Yes, hospitality work, including hotels, is part of what we do. Jobs can be programmed room by room, with out-of-hours working possible to arrange.
Does remedial work come with a guarantee?
Yes. Every job comes with our 12-month guarantee.
Will it make a mess?
We keep the work tidy. We protect what’s around the joints, and we clear up when we’re done.
Will there be a smell?
It depends on the product. Some smell for a while, some hardly at all, and any smell fades as they cure.
What sealant do you use?
We choose the sealant for the joint, not the other way round. Movement, water and weather all affect the choice.
Can you remove sealant that’s been put over old sealant?
Yes. Stripping layered sealant takes longer than a normal reseal, but it’s what makes the new bead last.
My shower still leaks after a reseal. Can you sort it?
Yes. There’s usually a reason: sealant over sealant, movement or another leak, so we find that first.
How it works
Our applicators work methodically: protect, prepare, seal, tidy. Typically it takes a few hours, depending on how many layers have to come out. 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.
- We protect the surfaces around the joint.
- 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.
- You get the cure time and our view on why the joint failed.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know about parking restrictions
- Let us know if you’ve seen damp or leaks
- Tell us about access, such as stairs, a lift or high-level joints

Advice
Honest limits
A few problems are outside what sealant work can do:
- Failed tanking or loose tiles behind the sealant
- A tray or worktop that needs refixing first
- A tray or bath that’s cracked
If in doubt, drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk and we’ll say what we think before you book.
Joints and surfaces we work on
- Leaking tray & enclosure joints
- Botched or over-sealed joints
- Failed movement joints
- Expansion joints
- Shrunken worktop sealant
- Mouldy bath & shower sealant
Should I try it myself first?
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions, and the work is guaranteed for a year.
Some jobs are best left to a professional: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas need the right product, the right access and the right method.
Keeping the joints in good condition
After the cure time, these simple habits help:
- Keep bleach and abrasives off the bead
- Report a tray that rocks or a worktop that lifts
- Don’t wait for a small gap to become a leak
- Run the fan after every shower
If the joint ever needs renewing, have it cut out, not sealed over. New silicone does not bond to old.
Mould under a second layer of sealant keeps growing out of sight. By the time it shows through, the joint is well past saving.
Bathrooms and kitchens in Ingliston
Edinburgh has a lot of tenement flats, in the Old and New Towns and well beyond, where a failed seal can soon reach the flat below. Ingliston has hotels and guest accommodation nearby. As well as homes, we work in hotel bathrooms, where resealing and regrouting can be done room by room.
If you look after a building such as Craigmount High School, its toilets, changing areas and kitchens need their sealant renewed like any other building’s.
