Bathroom resealing for homes and businesses in Powderhall
Showers work their sealant harder than baths. Trays, enclosures, screen profiles and wet room floors all need a flexible, waterproof seal. They’re resealed with anti-fungal sanitary silicone, tooled smooth so water runs off instead of sitting in a ridge. If you have damp behind the bath or under the tray and leaking joints on a shower screen, we can put it right, on wet rooms, sinks & splashbacks and shower trays & enclosures alike.
Stone-built tenements are part of every Scottish city, alongside suburban houses and modern blocks. With flats above and below, a leak from a tired seal can reach the flat underneath.
All our work is covered by a 12-month guarantee, wherever you are in Edinburgh.

Keeping the joints in good condition
So the new joints stay in good condition:
- Keep an eye on the corners, where splits start
- Do not let bottles sit on the bead
- Run the extractor fan during and after every shower
- Clean with a mild bathroom cleaner and a soft cloth
Give the silicone time to cure before it gets wet, which is generally around 24 hours. After that, a quick wipe after showering helps keep it clean.
There’s no need to wait for a full refurbishment. Sealant is a maintenance item, like the paint on a window frame, and renewing it as soon as it fails protects everything around it.
Why act early in Powderhall
The difference in a professional reseal is mostly what you do not see: cutting out every trace of the old bead, cleaning, treating mould and letting the joint dry. Without that preparation, the new bead won’t last. For landlords in Powderhall, damp and leaks can be a Repairing Standard issue, so failed sealant is best replaced before it becomes a complaint.
The cost depends on how much there is to do, how hard the old material is to remove and how easy the joints are to reach. We give a clear quote before any work starts.

Different surfaces, different methods
Shower trays & enclosures
Water often gets past the wall profile of a shower enclosure. It’s resealed along with the tray joints, sealing the side the enclosure’s instructions call for.
Kitchen worktops & upstands
Kitchen joints need more degreasing than bathroom ones, because cooking grease stops sealant bonding. The extra cleaning is what makes the bead last.
Powderhall: your questions answered
Do you take on hotel work around Powderhall?
Yes, we work for hotels as well as homes and businesses. Rooms can be done a few at a time, so the building stays open.
Do you work for landlords with property near Edinburgh Waverley station?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. Just drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk and tell us about the property, and we will send you a clear quote.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes, we can. Several rooms, windows or areas can go on one quote.
Can you get rid of the black mould in my sealant?
Yes. Once mould has grown into the silicone, it generally can’t be cleaned out for good, so the bead comes out, the joint is treated and new anti-fungal silicone goes in.
Do I have to be there?
For indoor joints, yes, someone needs to let us in. Once we have agreed the job, you do not need to watch us work.
Are you an approved applicator?
Yes. We hold ARBOMaster approved applicator status.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes, a one-year guarantee. Good ventilation and gentle cleaning help it last.
Do you work in Powderhall?
Yes. We work in Powderhall and the rest of Edinburgh, as part of our work across South East England, London and Scotland. For a quote, email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk.

What we do, step by step
Once we’re on site, we check the joints match what you told us. If anything is different, we explain it before carrying on. Most jobs then take around two hours for one bath or shower, longer for a whole bathroom. For a tenement in Powderhall, 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, each joint is checked for movement and signs of water.
- The old silicone is cut out completely, along with the film it leaves on the tiles.
- Joints are degreased and any mould is treated.
- 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, usually around 24 hours.

Advice
When to call us in Powderhall
Plenty of failed sealant has been laid over the top of older sealant. Fresh silicone can’t grip the old bead underneath, so it peels, leaks and hides mould behind it.
Common reasons people contact us are:
- Gaps between the worktop and the wall
- Leaking joints on a shower screen
- New sealant laid over old sealant that is now lifting
- Black mould in the silicone that will not clean off
Homes close to St Philip's Church And Hall include some older properties, and bathrooms in older houses have often been refitted more than once, with sealant laid over sealant.
What your quote should include
- Whether they seal over old material or remove it
- How long to leave it before use
- Whether the sealant suits the joint
- What guarantee comes with the work
Should I try it myself first?
If you do try it yourself, take your time over the preparation: remove every trace of old sealant, clean and dry the joint, and follow the product’s cure time. If it does not work out, we can still put it right.
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that’s fine. We remove it and do the joint properly.
Bathrooms and kitchens in Powderhall
Powderhall is close to the coast. Near the coast, holiday lets and guest houses can see bathrooms used by one guest after another, and sealant and grout that work that hard wear out sooner. Edinburgh has a lot of tenement flats, in the Old and New Towns and well beyond, and in a tenement, a leaking seal can reach the neighbours below.
If you look after a building such as Drummond Community High School, its toilets, changing areas and kitchens need their sealant renewed like any other building’s. For landlords with property near Edinburgh Waverley station, fresh sealant around the bath, shower and sink between tenancies helps a property present well and keeps leaks at bay.
