What happens on the day
Before we leave, we go over the finished joints with you. The work normally takes half a day or less for one room, longer when the kitchen is included, depending on the size of the job. Outdoor work around Auchinstarry 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 protect the area and cut out all of the old sealant.
- Next, the joint is cleaned and any mould is treated.
- Once it’s dry, any bath is filled so the bead is laid with it at its heaviest.
- New anti-fungal silicone goes on in a colour to suit and is tooled to a clean finish.
- We tidy up and give you the cure time, generally around 24 hours.
How to prepare
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Move anything stored near the joints
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before

Advice
When to call us in Auchinstarry
No sealant lasts indefinitely. Every shower, every splash and every wipe with a cleaner slowly wear it down, and how long it lasts comes down to use, cleaning and ventilation.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- New sealant laid over old sealant that is now lifting
- Cracked, shrunken or lifting silicone
- Splits where the tray meets the wall
- Failed sealant on the screen profile
Schools such as Our Lady's High are buildings too, and its toilets, changing areas and kitchens need their sealant renewed like any other building’s.
Questions to ask before booking
- Which colour the sealant will be
- Are they insured?
- How the surfaces are prepared before sealing
- What happens if they find a problem under the old sealant
Different surfaces, different methods
Kitchen worktops & upstands
Upstands and back edges are cut out, cleaned of grease and resealed, because cooking grease stops sealant bonding. The extra cleaning is what makes the bead last.
Baths
The long joint down the side of a bath is where most leaks start, especially under a shower. We finish it with a single, even bead of anti-fungal silicone, tooled so water can’t sit on it.
DIY sealant or a professional job?
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is.
If you’re 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 does not work out, we can still put it right.
Bathroom resealing around Auchinstarry
Scotland’s water is generally soft, so sealant and grout see less limescale than in much of England. But mould still grows into sealant and grout in a room that does not dry out. Private landlords in Scotland must be registered and 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.
Rented homes near Croy station change hands often, and a reseal between tenants is a quick way to make the bathroom and kitchen look cared for.

Looking after it afterwards
After the cure time, these simple habits help:
- Clean with a mild bathroom cleaner and a soft cloth
- Don’t let bottles sit on the bead
- Never pick at the silicone with a blade
- Open a window or run the fan so the room dries
Have a look at the joints every few months. A small split or a corner lifting is easy to spot, and if anything looks wrong, just send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk.
Small signs come before a leak: a corner lifting, a gap behind the bead, a dark line under the silicone or a damp patch on the ceiling below. If you spot one, it’s time to reseal.
Why act early in Auchinstarry
A clean new bead makes a room look cared for, which helps when a home is being let or put on the market. Lumpy sealant with smears on the tiles has the opposite effect, and it’s harder to put right later. When the nearest tradesperson is a drive away, it’s tempting to leave a small leak, but water behind a failed seal does the most damage when nobody’s watching.
There are no prices on our website, because each job is priced on what it involves. Call for a quick quote and we’ll talk you through it.
