About our glazing silicone in Trinity
A frameless shower screen depends on its silicone. Leaks generally come from the wall joint or the tray joint and both get fresh anti-fungal silicone. Typical jobs include a quick top-up bead that didn’t last and water getting into a conservatory at the joints, on shower screens, glass-to-glass joints and glass-to-frame joints.
Tenement flats in Scotland’s cities often have windows high above the street, so the mastic outside can go unchecked for years. For a flat in Trinity, access is the first thing to plan, and in a tenement the outside of the building may be a shared repair.
There’s a 12-month guarantee on every job, whatever its size.

Glazing silicone in Trinity: local notes
Trinity is within about 1 mile of the coast, where wind-driven rain is a fact of life and, nearer the shore, so is salt air. That is hard on glazing joints and frame seals, especially on the side facing the sea. The Old and New Towns of Edinburgh are a UNESCO World Heritage Site, and the Georgian New Town is known for its sash windows. For listed homes and conservation areas, check with the council before changing how windows or walls look.
Letting a property close to Edinburgh Waverley station? Then leaking glazing joints, shower screens or conservatory seals are worth sorting between tenancies. Schools such as Trinity Academy are buildings too, and the mastic around its windows and doors needs looking after like any other building’s.

FAQs for Trinity
Does the coastal weather in Trinity affect outside sealant?
Near the coast, wind-driven rain and, nearer the shore, salt air make outside sealant work harder. The right product, a clean joint and the right depth all help it cope.
Do you work for landlords with property near Edinburgh Waverley station?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for. You can send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk with the details for a clear quote.
What should I tell you?
The location, the problem and the rough size of the job. If you can, email a few pictures.
What guarantee do I get?
All our work has a 12-month guarantee, and we are fully insured.
Is a special sealant needed for glass?
A glazing silicone chosen for the joint. Neutral-cure products suit most glass and frames, as some acetoxy types can attack certain metals.
Where is Mr Mastic based?
We work from Crawley. Our applicators cover Trinity.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Tell us about everything you’d like done and you’ll get one quote.
Is it possible to redo the silicone on a shower screen?
Yes, it’s a common job. The screen is resealed with anti-fungal silicone made for wet areas.
What affects the cost of glazing silicone
Jobs vary more than people expect. The main factors:
- Mould in or behind the old joints
- Whether the work is at height
- Whether old sealant or filler has to be cut out
- How many rooms, windows or areas are involved
What it costs depends on how much there is to do, how much old material has to come out and how easy the joints are to reach. You’ll have a clear quote before any work starts, so you know where you stand.
What to tell us for a quote
Photos by email are helpful but not essential. Try to tell us:
- The rough size of the job
- The problem you’ve noticed
- Where the job is, and your postcode
- How we’d reach the joints
Asking for a quote is easy: let us know the job and the location, and roughly how big it is. Photos by email help us understand the job.
What we are called out for in Trinity
Silicone will not bond to a dirty surface. If the glass and frame weren’t cleaned properly, the bead can peel away early.
The problems people generally mention when they call include:
- Glazing silicone that has cracked or come away
- Water running down inside the glass
- Leaks where conservatory glass meets the frame
- Failed sealant around rooflight glass
Homes close to Newhaven Parish Church include some older properties, and frames set in older brick or stone need a sealant that suits the wall as well as the frame.
Questions to ask before booking
- What insurance they hold
- What guarantee comes with the work
- What preparation is included
- What the quote includes, VAT included or not
Should I try it myself first?
If you are set on DIY, put the effort into preparation: remove every trace of old sealant, clean and dry the joint, and follow the product’s cure time. If it fails, we can still redo it.
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. Silicone doesn’t stick to old silicone, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. All the old material has to come out first.
How the visit works
Before we leave, we go over the finished joints with you and explain the cure time. The visit itself generally takes a few hours for most jobs, depending on the size of the job. In a city area like Trinity, parking may be by permit or pay-and-display, so tell us what’s nearby. For flats, mention the door entry system and any shared-stair arrangements.

What else we do in Trinity
Why deal with it now?
A quick bead over the old sealant might stop a drip for a while, but new silicone won’t bond to old and water soon finds its way back. Cutting out and resealing properly lasts. Private landlords in Trinity must meet the Repairing Standard, and damp or leaks can fall short of it, so it’s worth fixing failed sealant before a tenant reports it.
A few things move the cost up or down: the old material and how easily it comes out, any mould to treat, and whether the work is at height. Your quote takes all of that into account.
