How we handle bathroom resealing in Greenhill
Sealant that is mouldy, cracked or peeling is worth sorting before it lets water through. Just send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk with a photo of the joints, and we’ll give you a clear quote before any work starts. If you are dealing with new sealant laid over old sealant that is now lifting and a bead that has pulled away from the tiles, we can help.
In Scotland’s cities, including the area around Greenhill, many older flats had their bathrooms added into small rooms later on. Space is tight and ventilation can be poor, and steam with nowhere to go is what turns sealant black and grout grey.
All of our work is guaranteed for twelve months.

Bathrooms and kitchens in Greenhill
Greenhill is within about 3 miles of the coast. Coastal homes, holiday lets and guest houses can see heavy bathroom use in busy months, and sealant and grout that work that hard wear out sooner. Tenement flats are common across Edinburgh, where a failed seal can soon reach the flat below.
Managing a site like Iain Tomlin School of Music? Then its toilets, changing areas and kitchens need their sealant renewed like any other building’s. Homes close to Morningside United Church include some older properties, and timber floors under older bathrooms flex, so joints need a sealant that moves with them.

How it works
Our applicators work methodically: protection first, then preparation, sealing and a tidy-up. For most jobs that takes two to three hours for a typical bath, depending on how much old sealant there is and we leave things clean and tidy. Parking in city streets around Greenhill can be tight or controlled, so it helps to know about permits or nearby bays. For flats, mention the door entry system and any shared-stair arrangements.
- We look at every joint first and check for movement or leaks.
- Every trace of the old bead is removed, including the thin smear on the tiles.
- The joint is cleaned, degreased and treated for mould.
- When the joint is dry, and a bath has been filled with water, the new silicone goes on.
- We tool the bead to a neat finish and give you the cure time, generally around 24 hours.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention any sign-in or site rules at work premises

Your questions about bathroom resealing in Greenhill
I’m in a tenement in Greenhill. Could worn sealant affect the flat downstairs?
Yes. With flats above and below, a leak from a failed seal rarely stays in one flat. Cutting out the old sealant and laying a fresh bead puts a stop to it.
I let a flat near Haymarket station. Can you help?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for. You can send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk with the details for a clear quote.
Can mouldy silicone be sorted out?
Yes. Mould inside the bead rarely cleans out for good, so we cut it out, treat the joint and reseal with anti-fungal silicone.
What colours of sealant can you use?
White and clear are the most common choices, and other colours are available to suit tiles, trays and worktops. Let us know your preference when you ask for a quote.
How do I get a quote for bathroom resealing in Greenhill?
There’s no set price, as it depends on the job: its size, the old material, access and the product needed. We agree the price before any work begins.
How long does the new silicone need before I use the shower?
Around 24 hours is typical, and we confirm the time for the product used. Getting it wet too early can spoil the new joint.
Is it worth trying it myself?
Sometimes. Preparation is everything: all the old sealant out, and a clean, dry joint. We can always put it right if it fails.
How long will the resealing take?
One bath or shower is around two hours’ work, including cutting out the old sealant. A full bathroom and kitchen can take most of a day.
Looking after it afterwards
How long the joints last depends on use and care. We suggest:
- Keep bottles off the sealant line
- Look for lifting corners and small gaps now and then
- Squeegee the walls and tray after use
- Avoid abrasive pads on the sealant
Keep water off the new bead until it has cured, which is normally around 24 hours. Once it’s cured, wiping it down after use keeps it looking new.
Each shower pushes a little more water through a failed joint. Over time that water reaches floors, walls and ceilings. Resealing early stops it.
Why deal with it now?
Sorting it now is quick: it takes a couple of hours for one bath or shower, or most of a day for a full bathroom and kitchen. Wait for a leak and you may be looking at panels off, drying out and redecorating too. For landlords in Greenhill, damp and leaks can be a Repairing Standard issue, so it’s worth fixing failed sealant before a tenant reports it.
There are no prices on our website, because the cost depends so much on the job itself. For a quick quote, please drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk and we’ll talk you through it.

DIY sealant or a professional job?
Some jobs are best left to a professional: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.
Work for landlords, hotels and businesses
Water getting past a failed joint can damage the building, which is a bigger problem in a rented property. Resealing at the right time is simple maintenance that we can handle for you.
Whether it’s one flat or a portfolio, the work is the same standard: the old material taken out, careful preparation and a 12-month guarantee.
What we are called out for in Greenhill
Sealing over old silicone is one of the commonest mistakes we find. New silicone won’t bond to old silicone, so it peels, leaks and hides mould behind it.
Look out for any of the following:
- Lumpy, uneven sealant from a DIY attempt
- Water getting behind the bath panel
- Cracked, shrunken or lifting silicone
- A reseal done over the top of the old bead
Letting a property close to Haymarket station? Then mouldy sealant is one of the first things a new tenant notices, so it’s worth renewing between lets.
What your quote should include
- Who turns up on the day
- What happens if they find a problem under the old sealant
- Which colour the sealant will be
- What product goes in the joint
