- Mouldy sealant that has gone black
- Two layers of silicone, both failing
- Sealant that has split, shrunk or peeled away
What we do, step by step
There’s no need to move everything out, just the space around the work. We protect the rest, and the work takes around two hours for one bath or shower, longer for a whole bathroom in most cases. Somewhere like Auchtertool may be a longer drive, and the journey is planned ahead. Tell us about tracks, gates, a ferry crossing or anything unusual about getting there.
- 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.
- The joint is cleaned, degreased and treated for mould.
- 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.
Getting ready for the visit
- For business premises, tell us about site rules or sign-in
- Mention any tricky access
- Move anything stored near the joints

About our bathroom resealing in Auchtertool
Kitchens need the same care as bathrooms. The joint between worktop and wall, the edge of the sink and the bottom of the splashback get wet every single day, and water behind a laminate worktop can make it swell. We reseal them with a kitchen-suitable silicone, matched to the worktop where it’s on show. We’re often asked to deal with leaks into the floor or ceiling below and lumpy, uneven sealant from a DIY attempt, across wet rooms, basins & vanity units and kitchen worktops & upstands.
A bathroom in a place like Auchtertool gets the same daily wear as one in a city flat. Generally soft Scottish water means less limescale, but steam still lets mould into sealant and grout.
You are covered for a year from the day we finish. If anything isn’t right with it, drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk.

Do you need bathroom resealing in Auchtertool?
Not every tube in the shop is meant for a shower. Acrylic caulk and general-purpose sealants are not designed for a joint that is wet every day, so they crack, discolour or grow mould quickly. Wet areas call for a sanitary silicone with an anti-fungal additive.
People usually contact us when they notice one of these:
- Gaps between the worktop and the wall
- Lumpy, uneven sealant from a DIY attempt
- Leaks into the floor or ceiling below
- Black mould in the silicone that won’t clean off
Letting a property close to Cardenden station? Then a reseal between tenants is a quick way to make the bathroom and kitchen look cared for.

How we quote for bathroom resealing
There’s no set price list, because jobs vary so much. What we look at:
- Working hours on commercial sites
- Whether there’s mould to deal with
- Whether old sealant or filler has to be cut out
- The size of the job
Doing several joints on one visit normally makes better use of the time than several visits. You will get one clear quote for the whole job.
Asking for a quote
When you contact us, these details help:
- How many joints, rooms or windows are involved
- Where the property is
- What the problem is, such as mould, gaps, leaks or cracking
- If it’s domestic, commercial or a hotel
It all starts with a short chat. Describe the problem, the location and the size of the job. When it suits you, send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk.
What sealant work cannot fix
We will always be straight with you, so here’s what sealant can’t fix:
- A tray that rocks until it’s re-bedded
- Water getting in through the grout rather than the sealant
- Leaks from a shower valve, waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
Not sure which it is? You can drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk and we’ll tell you honestly.

Auchtertool: your questions answered
Will you come out to Auchtertool?
Yes, we do. We work across all of Scotland, from towns to the smallest places. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
Do you cover Auchtertool for bathroom resealing?
Yes. We work across all of Scotland, and Auchtertool is part of that. Just email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk with a few details of the job, and we’ll give you a clear quote.
Do you guarantee your resealing?
Yes. All our work comes with a 12-month guarantee, and we’re fully insured.
Which products do you use?
Quality sealants from brands including Arbo and Everbuild, picked for each joint. We’ll tell you what we’re using and why.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Of course. Combining jobs makes good use of the visit.
Are you an approved applicator?
Yes. We are ARBOMaster approved, the scheme for applicators of Arbo sealants.
Can you just seal over the old silicone?
No, never. Sealing over the top looks fine for a few weeks, then lifts, because silicone does not bond to silicone. We remove the old bead completely before resealing.
Is it worth trying it myself?
That depends on the joint. Work at height, movement joints, fire-rated gaps and large areas are best left to a professional, while a short indoor joint may be within reach.

Work for landlords, hotels and businesses
In hotels, rooms out of use cost money, so the work can be planned room by room around your bookings where we can. Hotel work is part of what we do, alongside homes and businesses.
Whether it’s one flat or a portfolio, you get the same standard of work: old sealant fully removed, joints prepared properly and a 12-month guarantee.
What happens if it’s left?
A failed joint gets more costly to put right the longer it’s left. Water that gets behind a bath soaks into the floor, the panel and sometimes the ceiling below, turning a small job into a building repair. In a place like Auchtertool, small leaks are easy to put off, but water through a failed joint keeps working away until it’s fixed.
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.

DIY sealant or a professional job?
Not every job suits DIY: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
Bathrooms and kitchens in Auchtertool
Scotland’s water is generally soft, so sealant and grout see less limescale than in much of England. Mould is another matter: a bathroom that stays damp still turns sealant and grout black. 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.
Homes close to Auchtertool Parish Church include some older properties, and bathrooms in older houses have often been refitted more than once, with sealant laid over sealant.
