- Gaps between the worktop and the wall
- Smears of silicone across the tiles
- Gaps where the bath or tray has moved
Should I try it myself first?
If you do try it yourself, take your time over the preparation: take out all the old sealant, make sure the joint is clean and dry, and give it the full cure time. If it fails, we can still redo it.
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.
Bathroom resealing in Balliveolan, done properly
A fresh bead of silicone changes how a bathroom looks more than most people expect. Mouldy silicone makes even a new bathroom look neglected, and a neat new joint puts that right in a short visit. It also seals the gaps that let water behind the bath. We work on wet rooms, baths and kitchen worktops & upstands, and the jobs we see most are water escaping at the shower enclosure and a bead that has pulled away from the tiles.
A bathroom in a place like Balliveolan gets the same daily wear as one in a city flat. Limescale is less of a problem with Scotland’s generally soft water, but mould still takes hold in damp sealant and grout.
A 12-month guarantee comes as standard.

Do you need bathroom resealing in Balliveolan?
Sealing over old silicone is one of the commonest mistakes we find. New silicone will not bond to old silicone, so it lifts, lets water in and traps mould underneath.
The most common problems we see are:
- Black mould in the silicone that won’t clean off
- Splits where the tray meets the wall
- A bead that has pulled away from the tiles
- A reseal done over the top of the old bead
Whether the job is in Balliveolan itself or nearby, the right material for each joint matters as much as a neat finish.

Your questions about bathroom resealing in Balliveolan
Can you do bathroom resealing in Balliveolan?
Yes. Our work covers the whole of Scotland, and Balliveolan is part of that. You can email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk and let us know what needs doing.
What guarantee comes with bathroom resealing in Balliveolan?
All our work, in Balliveolan and everywhere else, comes with a 12-month guarantee. We’re also fully insured and ARBOMaster approved.
Is it worth trying it myself?
Sometimes. The key is preparation: remove all the old material and work on a clean, dry joint. If it does not work out, we can redo it.
Will it make a mess?
No. The area is protected while we work and cleaned up afterwards.
Do I need to be at home?
It depends on the job. For work indoors, someone needs to let us in, while outside work can sometimes be arranged differently.
Do you take out the old sealant first?
Always. Sealing over the old bead is the commonest cause of early failure, and it’s something we never do.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are glad to have it sorted.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, often. Several properties can go on one quote, and between tenancies is a good time for the work.

What else we do in Balliveolan
Balliveolan homes and their sealant
Balliveolan is within about 3 miles of the coast. Coastal homes, holiday lets and guest houses can see heavy bathroom use in busy months, which wears sealant and grout out faster than in a quiet home. 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 Balliveolan, as everywhere, bathroom resealing is only as good as the preparation behind it.

Surface by surface
Shower trays & enclosures
There are usually two jobs in a shower: the tray-to-wall joint and the enclosure joints. Both get soaked every time the shower runs, so each is cut out and renewed with anti-fungal sanitary silicone.
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.
What affects the cost of bathroom resealing
There’s no set price list, because jobs vary so much. What we look at:
- Access and height
- The number and length of the joints
- The product the joint needs
- How much old sealant there is and how hard it is to remove
The cost depends on how much there is to do, how much old material has to come out and access to the work. You’ll have a clear quote before any work starts.
