- New sealant laid over old sealant that is now lifting
- Mouldy sealant that has gone black
- Gaps where the bath or tray has moved
How to look after the new joints
No joint lasts for ever, but care makes a real difference. Our tips:
- Dry the bead with a towel now and then
- Let new sealant cure fully before it gets wet
- Don’t leave water standing on kitchen joints
- Check the joints every few months for splits or lifting
Give the silicone time to cure before it gets wet, following the cure time we give you. After that, a quick wipe after showering helps keep it clean.
Each shower pushes a little more water through a failed joint. Left alone, it soaks into the floor, the wall behind the tiles or the ceiling below. Early resealing closes the gap before damage is done.
About our bathroom resealing in Acharn
Sealant that is mouldy, cracked or peeling is worth sorting before it lets water through. A photo of the joints helps when you drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk, and you will get a clear quote before any work starts. We work on kitchen worktops & upstands, basins & vanity units and shower trays & enclosures, and common reasons people get in touch are new sealant laid over old sealant that is now lifting and gaps where the bath or tray has moved.
Being further from a city does not change the work: everything old is cut out, the joints are cleaned and dried, and new sealant or grout goes in. The journey and access are simply planned in advance.
Big or small, it’s backed by our 12-month guarantee in Acharn and across Perth and Kinross.

Why it’s worth doing now in Acharn
Fresh sealant smartens a bathroom or kitchen with very little disruption, which helps when a home is being let or put on the market. A smeared, uneven DIY bead does the opposite, and it’s harder to put right later. In an older home around Acharn, damp from a failed joint can get into timber and plaster, which is a far bigger job than the sealant.
Instead of a standard rate, we look at what your job involves: the amount of work, the old material and the access. You’ll know the price before we begin.

FAQs for Acharn
Do you work for hotels and guest houses in Acharn?
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.
Do you cover Acharn for bathroom resealing?
Yes. Our work covers the whole of Scotland, and Acharn is part of that. You can send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk and tell us what needs doing.
My sealant has gone black. Can you sort it?
Yes. The old sealant comes out, the mould is treated, and we reseal with anti-fungal sanitary silicone.
Can I choose the colour of the sealant?
We can use white, clear or a colour to suit. Where the joint is on show, we match it to the surface.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are glad to have it sorted.
Do I have to be there?
We need access to the joints, so we will agree that with you when we book. Indoors, that generally means someone at home.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes, for 12 months. Looking after the joint as we suggest helps it last.
How long does it take to reseal a bath or shower?
That depends on the number of joints and the state of the old sealant. Allow a couple of hours for a typical bath or shower.
Can I do it myself?
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. New silicone will not bond to old, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. Everything old must be removed first.
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.
What we do, step by step
Our applicators work methodically: protection first, then preparation, sealing and a tidy-up. Typically it takes a couple of hours for a single bath or shower, and the area is left clean. Outdoor work around Acharn depends on the weather, as sealant needs a dry surface, so an outdoor job can move if the forecast changes. Work indoors is not affected.
- We look at every joint first and check for movement or leaks.
- The old silicone is cut out completely, along with the film it leaves on the tiles.
- Joints are degreased and any mould is treated.
- With the joint dry, and any bath loaded with water, a single bead of anti-fungal silicone is applied.
- The bead is tooled smooth and you are told the cure time, normally around 24 hours.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit
- Mention any sign-in or site rules at work premises

What else we do in Acharn
Bathroom resealing in Acharn: local notes
Scottish Water supplies are generally soft, so limescale is less of a problem than in hard-water areas. Mould is another matter: a bathroom that stays damp still turns sealant and grout black. Acharn has hotels and guest accommodation nearby. Hotel bathrooms are part of our work as well as homes, and can be done room by room.
In and around Acharn, as anywhere, good bathroom resealing starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint.
Acharn is about 25 miles north-west of Perth, in Perth and Kinross. Acharn gets the same service as everywhere we cover: old sealant removed completely, careful preparation and a 12-month guarantee. Acharn is one of 107 towns and villages in Perth and Kinross we cover. We also work in Dundee, around 40 miles away.
Our applicators cover all of PH15 for bathroom resealing. We also cover Kenmore (1 mile north-east), Fearnan (2 miles west), Boreland (3 miles west), Aberfeldy (7 miles north-east) and Little Ballinluig (11 miles north-east).

What we’re called out for in Acharn
With age, silicone loses its stretch. In kitchens it often shrinks away from the back edge, leaving a thin gap where water and food collect. Heat from the hob and strong sprays speed it along.
It’s worth asking for a quote if you see:
- Splits where the tray meets the wall
- Lumpy, uneven sealant from a DIY attempt
- A bead that has pulled away from the tiles
- Water escaping at the shower enclosure
In the older streets around Kenmore Parish Church, older homes can move a little, which is hard on rigid grout and tired sealant.
Questions to ask before booking
- Is VAT in the price?
- How much experience the applicator has
- What happens if the job turns out different
- What guarantee comes with the work
