Can I do it myself?
If you’re set on DIY, put the effort into preparation: take out all the old sealant, make sure the joint is clean and dry, and give it the full cure time. If it fails, we can still redo it.
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, such as a straightforward joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.
How we handle remedial sealant in Warriston
Movement and expansion joints fail when the sealant cannot stretch. 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 expansion joints, failed movement joints and leaking tray & enclosure joints, and common reasons people get in touch are decorators’ caulk around a bath or shower and movement joints that have split or pulled away.
Stone-built tenements are part of every Scottish city, alongside suburban houses and modern blocks. 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.
You are covered for a year from the day we finish. If anything isn’t right with it, drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk.

Aftercare tips
Joint life depends on how it’s used and looked after. Here’s what we suggest:
- Report a tray that rocks or a worktop that lifts
- Do not point over movement joints
- Do not add new sealant on top of old
- Run the fan after every shower
Keep the room ventilated: use the extractor or open a window after showering.
A split movement joint lets rain into walls and floors, and left long enough, the edges of the joint can crumble. A joint with sound edges is far easier to reseal.
Remedial sealant in Warriston: local notes
Warriston is within about 1 mile of 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. Warriston 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.
In the older streets around St Serf's Church, older homes can move a little, which is hard on rigid grout and tired sealant. Managing a site like Drummond Community High School? Then washroom and kitchen sealant there needs the same care as at home, and schools and businesses are part of our work as well as homes. For landlords with property near Edinburgh Waverley station, botched sealant from a previous quick fix is easier to strip out between tenants.

Common questions in Warriston
I let a flat near Edinburgh Waverley station. Can you help?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for, and several properties can be quoted together. Just send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk with the address and what needs doing, and we will send you a clear quote.
Do you work for hotels and guest houses in Warriston?
Yes. Hotel and guest-house work is part of what we do. Work can be planned room by room, and out-of-hours working can be arranged.
Which products do you use?
Each joint gets the product that suits it. Where it moves, gets wet or faces the weather makes a difference, and we will explain our choice.
Do you fix expansion and movement joints?
Yes. The depth is set with backing so the sealant only bonds to the two sides, which lets it stretch.
Do the sealants smell?
Sometimes, a little. Any smell clears as the sealant cures.
My shower still leaks after a reseal. Can you sort it?
Yes, normally. We check it’s the sealant and not the tray, valve or waste, then strip and reseal the joints.
Are you ARBOMaster approved?
Yes. We are ARBOMaster approved, the scheme for applicators of Arbo sealants.
Is it worth trying it myself?
Some simple jobs can be done by a careful DIYer. The usual mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using too much.
How it works
When we get to you, we check the joints match what you told us. If we find something unexpected, we talk it through with you first. Most jobs then take a few hours for most joints, depending on how much old sealant has to come out. Inside a flat in Warriston, the job is planned with you; outside, shared parts may need the factor or other owners involved. Tell us which applies when you book.
- We protect the surfaces around the joint.
- The botched or failed sealant is cut away completely.
- The joint is degreased and checked for movement and leaks.
- New sealant goes in once the joint is dry, and is tooled smooth.
- We give you the cure time and explain what caused the failure.
How to prepare
- Mention any sign-in or site rules at work premises
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive
- Clear the area around the work

What affects the cost of remedial sealant
The price is agreed before any work begins. It takes into account:
- Any working-time requirements on site
- The number and length of the joints
- Whether old sealant or filler has to be cut out
- Whether there’s mould to deal with
What it costs depends on the amount of work, how hard the old material is to remove and how easy the joints are to reach. We give a clear quote before we start.
What to tell us for a quote
To make quoting easier, let us know:
- Where the property is
- If someone has resealed it before
- The rough size of the job
- Pictures of the joints, sent by email
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’s easy.
What sealant work can’t fix
New sealant cannot fix everything, and we’d rather say so up front. It won’t solve:
- Older mastics that may need an asbestos check before removal
- A tray or worktop that needs refixing first
- A leaking trap, valve or supply pipe
If in doubt, send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk and we’ll say what we think before you book.
What we seal
- Shrunken worktop sealant
- Mouldy bath & shower sealant
- Failed movement joints
- Leaking tray & enclosure joints
- Expansion joints
- Botched or over-sealed joints
Why act early in Warriston
Spraying mould remover on a sealed-over joint doesn’t reach what’s underneath. The layers have to come out. Private landlords in Warriston must meet the Repairing Standard, and damp or leaks can fall short of it, so failed sealant is best replaced before it becomes a complaint.
Leaving a failed joint normally makes the job bigger, not smaller, as water and mould keep getting in. If you’re not sure whether it needs doing, send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk and we will give you an honest view and a quote.
