Signs you need bathroom resealing in Beechmount
Sealing over old silicone is one of the commonest mistakes we find. Fresh silicone can’t grip the old bead underneath, so it lifts, lets water in and traps mould underneath.
The most common problems we see are:
- Mouldy sealant that has gone black
- A joint torn by a bath that flexes
- New sealant laid over old sealant that is now lifting
- Leaking joints on a shower screen
Rented homes near Slateford station change hands often, and mouldy sealant is one of the first things a new tenant notices, so it’s worth renewing between lets.
What your quote should include

- Which sealant they’ll use, and why

How we handle bathroom resealing in Beechmount
Resealing is a small job that makes a big difference. Black, patchy sealant makes clean tiles look tired, and a neat new joint puts that right in a short visit. Just as important, it closes the gaps water would otherwise get through. We work on shower trays & enclosures, baths and kitchen worktops & upstands, and the jobs we see most are a reseal done over the top of the old bead and smears of silicone across the tiles.
Beechmount is in one of Scotland’s four big cities, where many tenement bathrooms were fitted into rooms that weren’t built for them. Space is tight and ventilation can be poor, which is hard on sealant and grout.
There’s a 12-month guarantee on every job.

Work for landlords, hotels and businesses
Hotels need rooms back in use, so we plan the work room by room. Hotel work is part of what we do, alongside homes and businesses.
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.
Beechmount: your questions answered
I’m in a tenement in Beechmount. Could worn sealant affect the flat downstairs?
It can. Tenement floors are normally timber, and water from a failed seal can find its way down to the flat below. Replacing tired sealant early is the simplest way to avoid that.
Do you work in hotels near Beechmount?
Yes, hospitality work, including hotels, is part of what we do. Jobs can be programmed room by room, with out-of-hours working possible to arrange.
My sealant has gone black. Can you sort it?
Yes, by replacing the sealant. Cleaning products may lighten it, but the lasting fix is new anti-fungal silicone on a clean, treated joint. Airing the room well helps stop it returning.
Does the resealing come with a guarantee?
Yes, a one-year guarantee. Looking after the joint as we suggest helps it last.
What colours of sealant can you use?
Most people choose white or clear, but other colours can be used to suit tiles and worktops. Tell us what you’d like when you get in touch.
Will you leave a mess?
No. We work neatly, protect the area around the joints and tidy up afterwards.
Can you quote for more than one area?
Yes. Just list everything you need.
Do you take out the old sealant first?
Yes, every time. New sealant won’t bond properly to old, so the joint is cleaned back first.
DIY versus a professional finish
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, such as a straightforward joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
Some jobs are best left to a professional: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas need the right product, the right access and the right method.
Beechmount homes and their sealant
Beechmount 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. There are hotels and other places to stay in and around Beechmount. As well as homes, we work in hotel bathrooms, where resealing and regrouting can be done room by room.
If you look after a building such as Scotus Academy, we reseal washrooms and kitchens in schools and businesses as well as homes. In the older streets around Murrayfield Parish Church, timber floors under older bathrooms flex, so joints need a sealant that moves with them.

Why it’s worth doing now in Beechmount
Running new silicone over the old joint can look tidy for a few weeks, but it will not bond. It lifts, traps water and grows mould behind it, and the next reseal means two layers to cut out. For landlords in Beechmount, damp and leaks can be a Repairing Standard issue, so it’s worth fixing failed sealant before a tenant reports it.

What else we do in Beechmount
What the job involves on each surface
Shower trays & enclosures
Water often gets past the wall profile of a shower enclosure. We reseal it along with the base of the enclosure, following the enclosure maker’s guidance on which side to seal.
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.
How the visit works
Before we leave, we go over the finished joints with you and explain the cure time. The visit itself normally takes a morning or an afternoon for most single baths and showers, depending on how much there is to do. For a tenement in Beechmount, work inside your flat is between us and you, while shared parts may need the factor or neighbours to agree. It helps to know which it is when you get in touch.
- We protect the area and cut out all of the old sealant, including the film left on the tiles.
- Next, the joint is cleaned and any mould is treated.
- 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
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Mention any tricky access
- Tell us about any water getting in
