Bathroom resealing for homes and businesses in Torphin
Across Torphin, the joints we reseal are the ones that fail in any home: bath edges, tray joints, basin backs and kitchen upstands. Each one is stripped, cleaned and dried before new silicone goes in. If you’re dealing with gaps where the bath or tray has moved and black spots spreading through the bead, we can help.
Bathrooms in smaller places like Torphin work just as hard as those in the cities. Generally soft Scottish water means less limescale, but steam still lets mould into sealant and grout.
All our work is covered by our 12-month guarantee.

Bathrooms and kitchens in Torphin
Tenement flats are common across Edinburgh, where a failed seal can soon reach the flat below. Private landlords in Scotland must be registered and meet the Repairing Standard, which covers keeping fixtures and fittings in a reasonable state of repair. Tired, leaking sealant is worth putting right before a new tenant moves in.
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Merchiston Castle School, we reseal washrooms and kitchens in schools and businesses as well as homes.

Looking after it afterwards
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Clean with a mild bathroom cleaner and a soft cloth
- Dry the bead with a towel now and then
- Never pick at the silicone with a blade
- Keep an eye on the corners, where splits start
Mould needs damp, so keep the room aired. Use the fan, or open a window, while you bathe and for a while afterwards, so the silicone gets a chance to dry.
Do not wait for a refit to deal with failed sealant. Sealant is a maintenance item, like the paint on a window frame, and renewing it as soon as it fails protects everything around it.
What happens on the day
All our tools and materials come with us in the van, so there’s nothing for you to buy. After a quick look at the joints together, we protect the area and start. Most jobs take a morning or an afternoon for most single baths and showers. In smaller Scottish places, parking is generally less of an issue than access and distance. Tell us how to find the property and how to reach the work, and the visit is planned around that.
- We cover the area around the joints we are working on.
- We cut away the old sealant and clean off what’s left.
- Mould is treated, then the joint is left to dry thoroughly.
- Any bath is filled with water, then we lay a bead of anti-fungal silicone in white, clear or a matching colour.
- We finish the joint, clear up and tell you how long to leave it before it gets wet.
Getting ready for the visit
- Clear items away from the joints we are working on
- Let us know if you’ve seen damp or leaks
- Mention any parking rules near the property

Related advice
Common problems we fix in Torphin
Sealant laid on a damp, dusty or greasy joint never bonds properly. Traces of soap, bath oil and old sealant stop it gripping, and a joint that looked fine soon begins to come away.
Most people get in touch when they notice one of these:
- Water getting behind the kitchen upstand
- Water getting behind the bath panel
- Smears of silicone across the tiles
- A joint torn by a bath that flexes
Rented homes near Wester Hailes station change hands often, and a reseal between tenants is a quick way to make the bathroom and kitchen look cared for.
Questions to ask before you book
- What happens if they find a problem under the old sealant
- Is the old sealant removed completely?
- Whether they’re fully insured
- Which sealant they’ll use, and why
Should I try it myself first?
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. Silicone does not stick to old silicone, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. Everything old must be removed first.
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that’s fine. We cut it out and start again.

Torphin: your questions answered
Can you do bathroom resealing in Torphin?
Yes. We work across all of Scotland, and Torphin is part of that. Just drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk with a few details of the job, and we’ll send you a clear quote.
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Wester Hailes station?
Yes, we work for landlords and agents. Just send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk and tell us about the property, and we’ll send you a clear quote.
Will it make a mess?
Very little: the area around the joints is protected first, and we clear up the old sealant and our materials before we leave.
Are you insured?
Yes. We are fully insured, and we can confirm the details when we quote.
Can mouldy silicone be sorted out?
Yes. Once mould has grown into the silicone, it normally cannot be cleaned out for good, so we cut it out, treat the joint and reseal with anti-fungal silicone.
Do you hold any approvals?
Yes. We hold ARBOMaster approved applicator status.
Is white the only colour available?
We can use white, clear or a colour to suit. On a worktop we colour-match where the joint shows.
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. Using it sooner can damage the bead.

- How many joints, rooms or windows are involved

Why act early in Torphin
A clean new bead makes a room look cared for, which matters if you are letting a property or selling it. Lumpy sealant with smears on the tiles has the opposite effect. Around Torphin, water from a failed joint in an older stone home can soak into timber and plaster, which is a far bigger job than the sealant.
A failed joint rarely gets cheaper to fix by waiting, as water and mould keep getting in. If you’re not sure whether it needs doing, email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk and we will give you an honest view and a quote.
