How to look after the new joints
No joint lasts for ever, but care makes a real difference. Our tips:
- Report a tray that rocks or a worktop that lifts
- Keep movement joints clear of mortar and paint
- Use a soft cloth, not a scourer, on silicone
- Check ceilings under showers for marks
Ventilation keeps mould away from the new bead: run the fan during and after showers, or open a window.
Warning signs: sealant lifting at the ends, a second bead visible on top of the first, black mould under the silicone, or stains below a bathroom. Any of them means it’s time for remedial work.
Remedial sealant in Murrayfield
If a joint fails again and again, something is causing it. A tray that moves, a worktop that is not fixed, the wrong sealant or water getting in elsewhere will beat any new bead. Finding that cause comes before any new sealant. We work on shrunken worktop sealant, failed movement joints and botched or over-sealed joints, and the jobs we see most are caulk or the wrong sealant used in a wet area and leaks that keep coming back after resealing.
Stone-built tenements are part of every Scottish city, alongside houses and newer flats. In a tenement, most bathrooms sit above someone else’s ceiling, so failed sealant around a bath or shower can soon become a neighbour’s problem, and that’s as true in Murrayfield as anywhere in the city.
Our work is backed for twelve months.

Your questions about remedial sealant in Murrayfield
I let a flat near Haymarket station. Can you help?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for. Just drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk with the address and what needs doing, and we will give you a clear price.
Can a failed shower seal in a tenement flat in Murrayfield leak into the flat below?
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 have insurance?
Yes. Full insurance covers our work, and we can confirm the details when we quote.
What information do you need?
Let us know what needs doing and where, plus photos if you have them. If we need more, we will ask.
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.
Can you strip sealant from an acrylic tray safely?
Yes. We take our time over removal, especially on acrylic, enamel and uPVC.
Do the sealants smell?
Sometimes, a little. It fades as the sealant cures, and ventilation helps.
Will the old sealant be removed?
Always. Sealing over old sealant is the main reason resealing fails early, and it’s something we never do.
When something else is needed
Honest advice matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what new sealant will not do:
- A tray or worktop that needs refixing first
- Older mastics that may need an asbestos check before removal
- A tray or bath that’s cracked
If you’re not sure, just drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk and we will give you a straight answer.

How the visit works
We keep the work tidy and contained to the joints we’re treating, so you can get on with your day. Expect the work to take a few hours for a typical bath or shower, longer where several layers have been applied, and we explain the cure time before we leave. In a city area like Murrayfield, 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.
- The failure is looked at first, so we know whether it’s sealant, movement or water from elsewhere.
- Old beads and residue are removed down to clean surfaces.
- We treat any mould and dry the joint thoroughly.
- We reseal with a product suited to the joint, backed where needed.
- We finish neatly and point out anything that needs another trade.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know about parking restrictions
- Move anything stored near the joints
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children

Advice
What we are called out for in Murrayfield
Movement tears sealant that isn’t designed for it. Flexing baths, rocking trays and building movement joints split any bead that’s too stiff or too thin.
The problems people normally mention when they call include:
- Thick, messy sealant smeared over tiles
- Products that weren’t meant for the joint
- A second bead peeling off the first
- Worktop sealant that has shrunk and split
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as The Mary Erskine 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.

Why deal with it now?
Leaks that are left keep doing damage out of sight: wet floors, stained ceilings and swollen worktops. By comparison, sorting the joint is quick. Wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint on the outside of a city building, and in Murrayfield, damp can spread through stone and plaster before anyone sees it.
Rather than a set price list, we price the job in front of us: how many joints, what’s in them now and how we reach them. The price is agreed before we begin.

What remedial sealant 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, and sealant and grout that work that hard wear out sooner. In Scotland, private landlords have to 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.
Homes close to Murrayfield Parish Church include some older properties, and walls and floors in older homes can move, and sealant and grout show it first. Rented homes near Haymarket station change hands often, and botched sealant from a previous quick fix is easier to strip out between tenants.
