About our bathroom resealing in Balmullo
Kitchens need the same care as bathrooms. Worktop upstands, sink edges and splashback joints all take splashes every day, and water behind a laminate worktop can make it swell. Kitchen joints get a sealant suited to kitchens, colour-matched where it shows. Typical jobs include leaks into the floor or ceiling below and shrunken sealant along the back of a worktop, on wet rooms, basins & vanity units and shower trays & enclosures.
In and around a place like Balmullo, homes range from older stone-built properties to newer houses. Older buildings can move a little, and that shows first in cracked grout and split sealant.
You get a 12-month guarantee, the same in Balmullo as everywhere else we work.

Does the resealing come with a guarantee?
Yes. Every job carries our 12-month guarantee, and we’re fully insured.

Yes. Tell us about everything you’d like done.
Can you get rid of the black mould in my sealant?
Yes. The old sealant comes out, the mould is treated, and we reseal with anti-fungal sanitary silicone.
How long will the resealing take?
That depends on the number of joints and the state of the old sealant. For most single baths or showers, allow a couple of hours.

Aftercare tips
A little care helps the new joints last. We recommend:
- Keep bottles off the sealant line
- Run the extractor fan during and after every shower
- Stick to a soft cloth and a mild cleaner
- Dry worktop joints after washing up
In a kitchen, do not let water sit along the back of the worktop. A dry joint lasts longer.
There’s no need to wait for a full refurbishment. Like paintwork, sealant needs renewing from time to time, and replacing it when it fails protects the rest of the room.
What bathroom resealing looks like in Balmullo
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 covers keeping fixtures and fittings in a reasonable state of repair. Tired, leaking sealant is worth putting right before a new tenant moves in.
In and around Balmullo, as anywhere, good bathroom resealing starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint.

Leave it or put it right?
Dealing with sealant early is a short job: the work takes around two hours for one bath or shower, longer for a whole bathroom. Wait for a leak and you may be looking at panels off, drying out and redecorating too. In a place like Balmullo, small leaks are easy to put off, but water behind a failed seal does the most damage when nobody’s watching.

What we are called out for in Balmullo
Sealant laid on a damp, dusty or greasy joint never bonds properly. Soap residue, oils and leftover silicone film all get in the way, so a rushed job can start to lift early.
Common reasons people contact us include:
- A joint torn by a bath that flexes
- Leaks into the floor or ceiling below
- Lumpy, uneven sealant from a DIY attempt
- A bead that has pulled away from the tiles
If you let a flat or house near Leuchars station, fresh sealant around the bath, shower and sink between tenancies helps a property present well and keeps leaks at bay.

How the job changes by surface
Wet rooms
Wet rooms rely on sound joints at floor and wall junctions. They’re resealed with anti-fungal sanitary silicone, working on the surface joints, not the tanking or drainage.
Shower trays & enclosures
There are normally 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.
What happens on the day
On the day, we look over the joints with you first, so you know exactly what we are doing. Surfaces next to the work are protected before we start. The work generally takes a couple of hours for a single bath or shower. Somewhere like Balmullo may be a longer drive, and the journey is planned ahead. Mention tracks, gates, ferries or anything else about the route.
- First the area is protected and every bit of old sealant removed, including the film left on the tiles.
- The joint is cleaned, degreased and treated for mould.
- Once it’s dry, any bath is filled so the bead is laid with it at its heaviest.
- A single bead of anti-fungal sanitary silicone is applied and tooled smooth.
- Finally we tidy up and explain the cure time before we leave.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know about stairs, lifts or work at height
- For business premises, tell us about site rules or sign-in
- Let us know if you’ve seen damp or leaks

DIY versus a professional finish
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, such as a straightforward joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.
Not every job suits DIY: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs need the right product, the right access and the right method.
When it is not the sealant
Some problems need a builder, plumber or other trade rather than us:
- Leaks from a shower valve, waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
- Damage behind the tiles that needs a tiler
- A tray or bath that’s cracked through
If you are not sure, just drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk and we will give you a straight answer before you book.
