Remedial sealant for homes and businesses in Westfield
Two decades of sealant work means we recognise most failures quickly. We’re fully insured ARBOMaster approved applicators, and remedial work carries our one-year guarantee. If you’re dealing with smears and lumps from a botched reseal and mould trapped under a layer of silicone, we can help.
In Scotland’s cities, including the area around Westfield, many older flats had their bathrooms added into small rooms later on. Rooms like that are often small and slow to dry out, and steam with nowhere to go is what turns sealant black and grout grey.
Big or small, it’s backed by our 12-month guarantee in Westfield and across Edinburgh.

What we do, step by step
The work is kept neat and contained to the area we’re working on. The job usually 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. For a tenement in Westfield, work inside your flat is between us and you, while shared parts may need the factor or neighbours to agree. Tell us which applies when you book.
- First we find out how and where the joint has failed.
- All the old sealant comes out, including any layers underneath.
- Next, any mould is treated and the joint dried.
- Where the joint moves, backing and a flexible sealant suited to the movement go in.
- We tool the joint and tell you about anything else that needs attention.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention any sign-in or site rules at work premises
- Move anything stored near the joints
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children

Advice
How the job changes by surface
Mouldy bath & shower sealant
Mould that has grown into silicone doesn’t clean out for good. The sealant is cut out completely, the joint treated with a mould remover and dried before anti-fungal sanitary silicone goes in.
Leaking trays & enclosures
A shower that leaks after resealing often has a tray that moves or an enclosure sealed on the wrong side. We check both before any new sealant goes on.
Signs you need remedial sealant in Westfield
Even good sealant ages. Over the years it shrinks, hardens and gets colonised by mould, especially in damp, poorly aired rooms. At that point it has to come out.
If you can see any of these, it’s time to have the joints looked at:
- Over-sealed joints coming away
- Black mould underneath the bead
- Floor or wall movement joints that have failed
- Kitchen joints letting water behind the worktop
For landlords with property near Slateford station, a joint that keeps failing is best fixed properly while the property is empty.

Westfield homes and their sealant
Westfield is close to 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. Private landlords in Scotland must be registered and meet the Repairing Standard, which covers keeping fixtures and fittings in a reasonable state of repair. Tired, leaking sealant is worth putting right before a new tenant moves in.
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Balgreen Primary School, 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.

- How easy the joints are to reach
- When we can work, for business premises
- The size of the job
There are no prices on our website, because the cost depends so much on the job itself. Call for a quick quote.

Should I try it myself first?
Not every job suits DIY: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas need the right product, the right access and the right method.
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. New silicone will not bond to old, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. All the old material has to come out first.
Common questions in Westfield
Can a failed shower seal in a tenement flat in Westfield leak into the flat below?
Yes, it can. In a tenement, water that gets past failed sealant or cracked grout can run under the bath or tray and through to the ceiling below. It’s worth sorting sealant and grout before it gets that far.
I let a flat near Slateford station. Can you help?
Yes. We work for landlords and agents as well as householders. Just email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk with the address and what needs doing, and we will send you a clear quote.
Do you remove the old sealant?
Always. Sealing over the old bead is the commonest cause of early failure, so we never do it.
Can you match the sealant colour?
We help you choose a colour that suits. The product needed can limit the range.
Are you insured?
Yes. Mr Mastic is fully insured.
Do I have to be there?
We need access to the joints, so we’ll agree that with you when we book. Indoors, that usually means someone at home.
Are you ARBOMaster approved?
Yes. We’re ARBOMaster approved, the scheme for applicators of Arbo sealants.
Do you do commercial work?
Yes. Larger jobs can be planned room by room or area by area.

Letting agents often deal with us directly. Tell us the address, the job and how access works and we will quote.
A neglected joint can let water reach the structure, which is a bigger problem in a rented property. Resealing at the right time is simple maintenance.
What we cannot put right
To be straight with you, some problems need a different trade:
- Cracks in the fitting rather than the joint
- Movement from fittings that aren’t supported
- Leaks from a shower valve, waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
If in doubt, send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk and we’ll say what we think.
