Common questions in The Grange
Can a failed shower seal in a tenement flat in The Grange leak into the flat below?
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 Edinburgh Waverley station. Can you help?
Yes, we work for landlords and agents. Just email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk and tell us about the property, and we will send you a clear quote.
Can mouldy silicone be sorted out?
Yes. The old sealant comes out, the mould is treated, and we reseal with anti-fungal sanitary silicone.
How do I get a quote for bathroom resealing in The Grange?
Every job is different, so each one gets its own quote. For a quick quote, drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk and let us know what needs doing and where.
Will there be a smell?
There can be a smell while the sealant cures, but it fades. Ventilation helps.
How long before the new sealant can get wet?
Normally after around 24 hours. We will tell you the cure time for the product we used.
Do you have insurance?
Yes. We are fully insured.
Do you remove the old sealant?
Yes. Sealing over old sealant is the main reason resealing fails early, so we never do it.
About our bathroom resealing in The Grange
A fresh bead of silicone changes how a bathroom looks more than most people expect. Mouldy silicone makes even a new bathroom look neglected, and a clean white or clear joint fixes it quickly. It also seals the gaps that let water behind the bath. We work on sinks & splashbacks, baths and wet rooms, and the jobs we see most are a joint torn by a bath that flexes and water escaping at the shower enclosure.
Scotland’s cities have a lot of flats, from sandstone or granite tenements to modern blocks, as well as houses in the suburbs. Scottish water is generally soft, so limescale is less of a problem than in hard-water areas, but mould still grows into sealant and grout in a steamy bathroom.
A 12-month guarantee comes as standard, so you’re covered after we have gone.

Do you need bathroom resealing in The Grange?
Black mould is behind a lot of resealing. Bathrooms without good ventilation give mould all the damp it needs, and mould that has grown into the silicone generally will not clean off.
The most common problems we see are:
- Water getting behind the bath panel
- Failed sealant on the screen profile
- Smears of silicone across the tiles
- A reseal done over the top of the old bead
If you let a flat or house near Edinburgh Waverley station, mouldy sealant is one of the first things a new tenant notices, so it’s worth renewing between lets.

What happens if it’s left?
Most of the work in a good reseal happens before any silicone goes on: cutting out every trace of the old bead, cleaning, treating mould and letting the joint dry. Without that preparation, the new bead will not last. For landlords in The Grange, damp and leaks can be a Repairing Standard issue, so failed sealant is best replaced before it becomes a complaint.
Instead of a standard rate, we price the job in front of us: the amount of work, the old material and the access. The price is agreed before we begin.

Bathrooms and kitchens in The Grange
The Grange 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. Tenement flats are common across Edinburgh, where a failed seal can soon reach the flat below.
If you look after a building such as Sciennes 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. For an older house near a landmark such as St Catherine's Argyle Church, walls and floors in older homes can move, and sealant and grout show it first.

Work for landlords, hotels and businesses
If you manage several properties in or around The Grange, several properties can go on one quote. Just tell us the addresses and what each one needs.
A neglected joint can let water reach the structure, which is a bigger problem in a rented property. Keeping joints in good order is simple maintenance that we can handle for you.
How it works
Every visit runs the same way: we check the joints, mask and protect the surrounding surfaces, do the work and tidy away. It normally takes a morning or an afternoon for most single baths and showers. For a tenement in The Grange, 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.
- We protect the area and cut out all of the old sealant, including the film left on the tiles.
- We clean and degrease the joint and treat any mould.
- We let it dry fully and fill the bath with water before sealing.
- We apply anti-fungal sanitary silicone in one even bead and tool it neatly.
- We clear away and tell you when it can get wet, usually after around 24 hours.
How to prepare
- Clear items away from the joints we are working on
- Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints
- Let us know if you’ve seen damp or leaks

What else we do in The Grange
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.
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
