Signs you need bathroom resealing in Murrayfield
Plenty of failed sealant has been laid over the top of older sealant. Fresh silicone cannot grip the old bead underneath, so it lifts, lets water in and traps mould underneath.
Look out for these signs:
- Gaps where the bath or tray has moved
- A bead that has pulled away from the tiles
- Smears of silicone across the tiles
- Leaking joints on a shower screen
Homes close to Murrayfield Parish Church include some older properties, and older homes can move a little, which is hard on rigid grout and tired sealant.

How we handle bathroom resealing in Murrayfield
The bead of silicone around a bath, tray or worktop is what keeps water out of the gaps. Once it cracks or goes mouldy, water starts to find its way through. Our team cut the old bead out completely and lay a new one in anti-fungal sanitary silicone. Typical jobs include black mould in the silicone that won’t clean off and water escaping at the shower enclosure, on shower trays & enclosures, kitchen worktops & upstands and basins & vanity units.
From stone-built tenements to new flats and suburban houses, Murrayfield is in a city with every kind of home. 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.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something is not right with it in that time, tell us and we will put it right.

Murrayfield: your questions answered
I’m in a tenement in Murrayfield. Could worn sealant affect the flat downstairs?
Yes, and the first sign is often a mark on the ceiling below. Cutting out the old sealant and laying a fresh bead puts a stop to it.
Do you take on hotel work around Murrayfield?
Yes, hotels and guest houses are among the places we work. A room-by-room programme keeps most rooms in use while the work goes on.
Can mouldy silicone be sorted out?
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.
What should I tell you?
Just the basics: where it is, what you’ve noticed and how we reach it. Then email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk.
What do you put in the joint?
It depends on the joint: anti-fungal sanitary silicone in wet areas, and other sealants where joints move or face the weather. Brands we use include Arbo and Everbuild.
Where do you work from?
We are based in Crawley, West Sussex, and we work across South East England, London and Scotland.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Several rooms, windows or areas can go on one quote.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. We’re fully insured for domestic and commercial work.
Why act early in Murrayfield
Running new silicone over the old joint can look tidy for a few weeks, but it won’t bond. Water creeps under it and mould follows, and the next reseal means two layers to cut out. Scottish rain finds any gap around a frame or wall joint, and in a tall building in Murrayfield, damp can travel a long way before it shows.
Combining jobs into one visit usually makes better use of the time than several visits, so it’s worth mentioning everything you’d like done. You’ll get one clear quote for the whole job.

The process
There’s no need to move everything out before we come, just the space around the work. Everything nearby is protected, and the work takes two to three hours for a typical bath, depending on how much old sealant there is in most cases. In a city area like Murrayfield, parking may be by permit or pay-and-display, so tell us what’s nearby. If you are in a flat, let us know how we get in at the street door.
- We start by protecting the area and stripping out the old bead, including the film left on the tiles.
- Next, the joint is cleaned and any mould is treated.
- Once it’s dry, any bath is filled so the bead is laid with it at its heaviest.
- New anti-fungal silicone goes on in a colour to suit and is tooled to a clean finish.
- We tidy up and give you the cure time, normally around 24 hours.
Getting ready for the visit
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit
- Mention any tricky access
- Mention any sign-in or site rules at work premises

Should I try it myself first?
Some jobs are best left to a professional: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. Silicone doesn’t stick to old silicone, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. Everything old must be removed first.
What bathroom resealing looks like in Murrayfield
Murrayfield 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 Murrayfield. As well as homes, we work in hotel bathrooms, where resealing and regrouting can be done room by room.
For landlords with property near Haymarket station, fresh sealant around the bath, shower and sink between tenancies helps a property present well and keeps leaks at bay. For site and facilities teams at buildings such as The Mary Erskine School, its toilets, changing areas and kitchens need their sealant renewed like any other building’s.

Different surfaces, different methods
Baths
A bath shifts slightly every time it’s filled, so it’s filled with water before the bead goes on. The joint is then laid with the bath at its lowest point and isn’t torn the first time it’s used.
Basins & vanity units
A vanity top has a joint along the wall and sometimes at the sides. If water gets in, the cabinet underneath can swell, so the joint is sealed in one unbroken line.
What we can’t put right
Sealant isn’t the answer to every problem, and we’d rather say so up front. It won’t solve:
- Water getting in through the grout rather than the sealant
- A bath or tray that moves because it is not properly supported
- Water coming from the plumbing rather than the joint
If you’re not sure, just drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk and we will give you a straight answer before you book.
