About bathroom resealing in West Lothian
We fill the bath before sealing it. The weight settles the bath to its lowest point, so the new joint isn’t pulled apart the first time it’s used. It’s a small step that rushed reseals tend to skip. We work on kitchen worktops & upstands, sinks & splashbacks and baths, and people most often call us about two layers of silicone, both failing and black spots spreading through the bead.
Once we’re on site, we compare the joints with what we discussed. If we find something unexpected, we talk it through with you first. After that, the work takes around two hours for one bath or shower, longer for a whole bathroom.
- Protection goes down around the bath, shower or worktop.
- Old sealant is sliced away and the residue removed.
- We treat any mould and let the joint dry properly.
- 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.

Bathroom resealing across West Lothian: local notes
Our bathroom resealing work across West Lothian covers homes, rentals and businesses, from Livingston, Bathgate and Linlithgow to the quieter places in between. Wherever the job is, all the old material comes out before anything new goes in.
We work across all of Scotland, from the cities to the islands, and West Lothian is part of that. Longer journeys are planned in advance, and outdoor work around the weather. Parts of West Lothian are on or near the coast, where wind-driven rain and, closer to the shore, salt air are hard on outside sealant. Joints on seaward walls tend to fail first.
Livingston: If you look after a building such as Inveralmond Community High School, we reseal washrooms and kitchens in schools and businesses as well as homes. For an older house near a landmark such as St Andrew's Church, bathrooms in older houses have often been refitted more than once, with sealant laid over sealant.
Work for landlords, hotels and businesses
Businesses can book us for washrooms, kitchens, offices and more. For commercial premises, we can talk through working times when we quote.
In hotels, rooms out of use cost money, so the work can be planned room by room. Hotel work is part of what we do, alongside homes and businesses.
Leave it or put it right?
Leaving a split or mouldy bead only stores up trouble. Water that gets behind a bath soaks into the floor, the panel and sometimes the ceiling below, and that is a far bigger job than a reseal.

Surface by surface
Baths
Baths move more than any other fitting, so it’s filled with water before the bead goes on. That way the joint is laid with the bath at its heaviest and isn’t stretched when it’s used.
Shower trays & enclosures
Shower trays are sealed to the wall, and enclosures are sealed to the tray and tiles. Both get soaked every time the shower runs, so both are resealed with anti-fungal sanitary silicone.
Quotes for bathroom resealing in West Lothian
There’s no set price list. What we look at:
- Whether there’s mould to deal with
- How many areas need sealing
- Whether the work is at height
- The type of sealant required
No two jobs are quite the same, so we quote each one individually. Size, access and the product the joint needs all play a part, and we will explain the quote if you ask.
Helping us quote
You do not need to know the technical terms. Just tell us:
- Whether it’s a home or a business
- Pictures of the joints, sent by email
- Roughly how big the job is
- Any access issues, like height or stairs
Quotes start with a quick conversation. Tell us what’s wrong, where it is and how much there is, and we’ll talk you through what we’d do. Whenever you are ready, send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk.
Why it fails
Black mould is behind a lot of resealing. Bathrooms without good ventilation keep the silicone damp for hours, and mould that has grown into the silicone generally won’t clean off.
Any of these means the joints need attention:
- Splits where the tray meets the wall
- Mouldy sealant that has gone black
- Water getting behind the bath panel
- Water escaping at the shower enclosure
West Lothian: your questions answered
Can I add another job to the visit?
Of course. Doing several areas at once is generally more efficient.
Do you remove the old sealant?
Always. Sealing over old sealant is the main reason resealing fails early, so we never do it.
Will there be a smell?
Some sealants have a smell while they cure. Ventilation helps.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are often happy for the work to be arranged.
Do you work in West Lothian?
Yes. We work in West Lothian, as part of our work across South East England, London and Scotland. To book, drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk.
Is it worth trying it myself?
It depends on the job. High-level, external movement and fire-rated joints are professional jobs.
Do I have to be there?
If the work is inside, we need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
