How we handle bathroom resealing in An Druim Beag
Before a bath is sealed, it’s filled with water. A full bath sits slightly lower than an empty one, so the bead isn’t stretched the first time someone gets in. It’s a small step that rushed reseals tend to skip. We work on shower trays & enclosures, basins & vanity units and sinks & splashbacks, and the jobs we see most are black mould in the silicone that won’t clean off and new sealant laid over old sealant that is now lifting.
Bathrooms in smaller places like An Druim Beag 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.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If there’s a problem with it, please drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk.

Common problems we fix in An Druim Beag
Black mould is behind a lot of resealing. Bathrooms without good ventilation give mould all the damp it needs, and mould that has grown into the silicone usually won’t clean off.
Most people get in touch after spotting something like this:
- Lumpy, uneven sealant from a DIY attempt
- Leaks into the floor or ceiling below
- A reseal done over the top of the old bead
- Failed sealant on the screen profile
Whether the job is in An Druim Beag itself or nearby, the right material for each joint matters as much as a neat finish.
Questions to ask before booking
- How long to leave it before use
- How the colour is chosen
- How the joint is cleaned and prepared
- Which sealant they’ll use, and why
What sealant work can’t fix
Some problems need a builder, plumber or other trade rather than us:
- Loose or hollow tiles, or failed tanking behind them
- A leaking waste, trap or valve
- Movement from a bath with loose feet or no proper support
If you are not sure, just email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk and we will give you a straight answer before booking.
What we seal
- Kitchen worktops & upstands
- Baths
- Basins & vanity units
- Shower trays & enclosures
- Wet rooms
- Sinks & splashbacks
Leave it or put it right?
A clean new bead makes a room look cared for, which matters if you are letting a property or selling it. A smeared, uneven DIY bead does the opposite, and it’s harder to put right later. Around An Druim Beag, 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.
The cost depends on the size of the job, how hard the old material is to remove and how easy the joints are to reach. We give a clear quote before we start.

- First the area is protected and every bit of old sealant removed, including the film left on the tiles.
- We clean and degrease the joint and treat any mould.
- We let it dry fully and fill the bath with water before sealing.

Will you come out to An Druim Beag?

How long before the new sealant can get wet?
Normally after around 24 hours. We’ll tell you the cure time for the product we used.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. Mr Mastic is fully insured, with over 20 years’ experience in sealant work.
Can you just seal over the old silicone?
No. Fresh silicone can’t stick to the old bead, so it peels away and hides mould and water. All the old sealant comes out first.
Do you do commercial work?
Yes. We work in offices, washrooms, hotels and other commercial premises, as well as homes. Working times can be discussed when we quote.
Do you reseal kitchen worktops and sinks too?
Yes. Worktops, sinks and splashbacks are all part of the job, in a kitchen-suitable sealant, matched to the worktop where it’s on show.
Can mouldy silicone be sorted out?
Yes. Mould inside the bead rarely cleans out for good, so we cut it out, treat the joint and reseal with anti-fungal silicone.
Different surfaces, different methods
Baths
Most bath leaks begin along the long edge, particularly where there’s a shower over the bath. It gets one smooth bead of anti-fungal silicone.
Shower trays & enclosures
Water often gets past the wall profile of a shower enclosure. It’s resealed along with the tray joints, following the enclosure maker’s guidance on which side to seal.
Bathroom resealing in An Druim Beag: local notes
An Druim Beag is close to the coast. Near the coast, holiday lets and guest houses can see bathrooms used by one guest after another, and sealant and grout that work that hard wear out sooner. In Scotland, private landlords have to meet the Repairing Standard, which includes keeping fixtures and fittings in reasonable repair. Failed sealant around a bath or shower is worth sorting between tenancies.
Around An Druim Beag, as everywhere, bathroom resealing is only as good as the preparation behind it.

Aftercare tips
No joint lasts for ever, but care makes a real difference. Our tips:
- Look for lifting corners and small gaps now and then
- Give the silicone its full cure time
- Wipe the sealant dry after showering
- Use gentle cleaners on the silicone
Wipe up standing water along the worktop joint and keep hot pans off the bead. The drier the joint stays, the longer it lasts.
Worktop joints fail quietly. Splashes run behind the back edge and soak into the worktop, and the board underneath can swell. Resealing before that happens protects the worktop.
