About our remedial sealant in Seafield
The wrong product in the wrong joint fails however neatly it’s applied. Out it comes, and in goes a sealant suited to the job. Common call-outs are for sealant applied over old sealant that has lifted and a shower that leaks however often it’s resealed, across mouldy bath & shower sealant, failed movement joints and botched or over-sealed joints.
Tenement flats are common in all four of Scotland’s big cities, alongside houses and newer flats. In a tenement, most bathrooms sit above someone else’s ceiling, so failed sealant around a bath or shower can soon become a neighbour’s problem.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something isn’t right with it in that time, tell us and we will put it right.

Common questions in Seafield
I’m in a tenement in Seafield. Could worn sealant affect the flat downstairs?
Yes, and the first sign is often a mark on the ceiling below. A proper reseal, with all the old sealant cut out, stops it at the source.
I let a flat near Edinburgh Waverley station. Can you help?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for. You can email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk with the details for a clear quote.
Does remedial work come with a guarantee?
Yes, with our 12-month guarantee. Where we’ve flagged another fault, it needs fixing for the joint to last.
Do you work in Seafield?
We do. Seafield is part of the area we cover, and the service is the same as everywhere else.
Where are you based?
Our base is in Crawley, West Sussex, and we cover South East England, London and all of Scotland.
Do the sealants smell?
It depends on the product. Some products have a noticeable smell, others very little, and any smell fades as they cure.
Do you remove the old sealant?
Yes. We cut out all the old sealant and clean the joint before applying anything new.
Do I have to be there?
We need access to the joints, so we’ll agree that with you when we book. For inside work, that normally means someone being in.
What remedial sealant looks like in Seafield
Seafield is within about 1 mile of the coast. Coastal homes, holiday lets and guest houses can see heavy bathroom use in busy months, which wears sealant and grout out faster than in a quiet home. Seafield has hotels and guest accommodation nearby. Hotel bathrooms are part of our work as well as homes, and can be done room by room.
In the older streets around Restalrig Parish Church, bathrooms in older houses have often been refitted more than once, with sealant laid over sealant. Managing a site like Leith Academy? Then we reseal washrooms and kitchens in schools and businesses as well as homes.
Seafield is about 1 mile north-east of Lochend, in Edinburgh. Across the EH6 area, our applicators can take on remedial sealant. We cover 175 towns and villages across Edinburgh, large and small.
We cover every part of the EH6, EH7 and EH15 postcode area for remedial sealant and the streets around it. If you need remedial sealant at a property on Blackie Road, Seafield Road and Restalrig Road or a nearby road, we can help. We also cover Restalrig (1 mile south-west), Craigentinny (1 mile south-east), Lochend (1 mile south-west), Piershill (1 mile south) and Jock's Lodge (1 mile south). We also work in nearby towns such as Edinburgh (3 miles south-west), West End (3 miles south-west), Stockbridge (3 miles west), West Coates (4 miles south-west), Sciennes (3 miles south-west) and Merchiston (3 miles south-west).
Local landmarks in Seafield
Around Seafield, our work takes us to homes and buildings near Public House, Portobello Library and Lochend Park, among other places. The closest station to Seafield is Edinburgh Waverley station, about 2.2 miles south-west.

What we are called out for in Seafield
Water from somewhere else can ruin a good seal. A leaking valve, a failed waste or cracked grout feeds water behind the bead, and the sealant lifts or goes mouldy from underneath.
Most people get in touch when they notice something like this:
- Movement joints that have split or pulled away
- Decorators’ caulk around a bath or shower
- Kitchen joints letting water behind the worktop
- Wide, uneven beads that look worse than the old ones
Rented homes near Edinburgh Waverley station change hands often, and a joint that keeps failing is best fixed properly while the property is empty.
Questions to ask before you book
- How much experience the applicator has
- How the joint is cleaned and prepared
- How long the guarantee is
- What product goes in the joint
How the job changes by surface
Over-sealed & botched joints
Previous removal attempts can leave scratches or gouges. We take care not to make it worse, and point out any existing damage.
Windows & doors
Smeared or badly matched mastic can be cut out and redone neatly, matched to the frame colour.
DIY sealant or a professional job?
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that’s fine. We cut it out and start again, so just mention it when you contact us.
Some jobs are best left to a professional: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs call for the right materials, safe access and experience.

When it isn’t the sealant
In fairness, some problems need a different trade:
- Failed tanking or loose tiles behind the sealant
- A bath, tray or worktop that moves until it’s properly fixed
- Leaks from a shower valve, waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
If you are not sure, just email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.

What affects the cost of remedial sealant
For a quick quote, just ask. The main things that affect it are:
- The size of the job
- Any working-time requirements on site
- How much old sealant there is and how hard it is to remove
- Which sealant suits the joint
Commercial jobs are quoted on the same basis as homes: the amount of work, how we reach it and what it needs. Call for a quick quote and we’ll explain what it covers.
Asking for a quote
When you contact us, these details help:
- Pictures of the joints, sent by email
- How we’d reach the joints
- Where the job is, and your postcode
- If someone has resealed it before
The more we know about the job, the more useful the quote. Tell us where the job is, what’s wrong and how much there is, and email pictures if that is easy.
How the visit works
The work is kept neat and contained to the area we’re working on, so you can carry on as normal. Expect the work to take a few hours for most joints, depending on how much old sealant has to come out, and we explain the cure time before we leave. Many homes in Scotland’s cities are tenement flats, reached through a shared close and up a common stair. In Seafield, it helps to know the floor, the door entry arrangements and the nearest parking.
- First we work out whether the problem is the sealant, movement or a leak.
- 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.
- The joint is tooled and you’re told about anything else we found.
Preparing for the visit
- For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before
- Mention any sign-in or site rules at work premises
Getting a quote
For a quick quote, get us on the phone, or send an email if you’d rather. Tell us about the joints that need doing and we will explain what’s involved.
Related advice
What happens if it’s left?
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. In a Scottish city tenement, failed sealant affects more than one flat: water can reach the flat below, and gaps in shared walls or fire-stopping affect the whole stair.
A failed joint rarely gets cheaper to fix by waiting, because water and mould keep working on it. If you are unsure, send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk for an honest opinion and a quote.
