- Cracked, shrunken or lifting silicone
- Mouldy sealant that has gone black
- Damp behind the bath or under the tray
How it works
There’s no need to move everything out, only the area right around the joints. We protect the rest, and the job takes a couple of hours for one bath or shower, or most of a day for a full bathroom and kitchen for a typical job. Outside jobs in Balnacra need a dry day, because sealant will not bond to a wet joint, so an outdoor job can move if the forecast changes. Indoor work goes ahead whatever the weather.
- First, each joint is checked for movement and signs of water.
- Every trace of the old bead is removed, including the thin smear on the tiles.
- Joints are degreased and any mould is treated.
- With the joint dry, and any bath loaded with water, a single bead of anti-fungal silicone is applied.
- We tool the bead to a neat finish and give you the cure time, generally around 24 hours.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us if parking is tricky
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive
- Clear items away from the joints we’re working on

Bathroom resealing in Balnacra
Sealant is the soft line between a bath, shower or worktop and the wall. Once it cracks or goes mouldy, water starts to find its way through and into the wall or floor. Every trace of the old sealant is taken out and replaced with anti-fungal sanitary silicone. We work on shower trays & enclosures, baths and basins & vanity units, and common reasons people get in touch are black mould in the silicone that won’t clean off and damp behind the bath or under the tray.
A bathroom in a place like Balnacra 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.
There’s a 12-month guarantee on every job, large or small.

Questions from Balnacra
Is Balnacra within the area you cover?
Yes, we do. Our work covers the whole of Scotland, and smaller places are part of that. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
I let a flat near Achnashellach station. Can you help?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. Just email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk and tell us about the property, and we’ll give you a clear price.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes. All our work comes with a 12-month guarantee, and we’re fully insured.
Where is Mr Mastic based?
Mr Mastic is based in Crawley. We cover Balnacra and the rest of Highland, along with the rest of our area.
Will it make a mess?
We keep the work tidy. We protect what’s around the joints, and the area is left clean when we finish.
Can you just seal over the old silicone?
No, and it’s one of the main reasons reseals fail. We cut out all of the old sealant, clean the joint and start again.
How long does the new silicone need before I use the shower?
The surface skins over fairly quickly, but the bead needs longer to cure right through. Keep water off it for around 24 hours, or follow the cure time we give you.
Do the sealants smell?
Possibly a little. It fades as the sealant cures, and ventilation helps.
Surface by surface
Baths
Most bath leaks begin along the long edge, especially under a shower. It gets one smooth bead of anti-fungal silicone.
Shower trays & enclosures
If a tray moves underfoot, new silicone will not last. We check for movement before we reseal, and tell you if it needs re-bedding first.
What happens if it’s left?
Tired sealant isn’t a reason to replace a bath or shower. A new bead often brings the whole room back, as long as the fittings themselves are sound. If we find a deeper problem, you’ll hear it from us. Around Balnacra, water from a failed joint in an older stone home can soak into timber and plaster, which is a far bigger job than the sealant.
A failed joint rarely gets cheaper to fix by waiting. If you’re unsure, send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk and we will give you an honest view and a quote.

How to look after the new joints
Simple care keeps the joints in good condition. Our advice:
- Wait for the cure time we give you
- Stick to a soft cloth and a mild cleaner
- Look for lifting corners and small gaps now and then
- Don’t let bottles sit on the bead
Have a look at the joints every few months. Small splits and lifting ends are easy to catch early, so if something does not look right, just email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk.
Worktop joints fail quietly. Splashes run behind the back edge and soak into the worktop, and the board underneath can swell. Resealing before that happens protects the worktop.
When something else is needed
Some problems need a builder, plumber or other trade rather than us:
- A bath or tray that moves because it isn’t properly supported
- Cracked or missing grout between tiles (that is regrouting)
- Damage behind the tiles that needs a tiler
If in doubt, drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk and we will say what we think before you book.

Bathrooms and kitchens in Balnacra
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. Scottish Water supplies are generally soft, so limescale is less of a problem than in hard-water areas. But mould still grows into sealant and grout in a room that does not dry out.
Letting a property close to Achnashellach station? Then mouldy sealant is one of the first things a new tenant notices, so it’s worth renewing between lets.

What we’re called out for in Balnacra
Black mould is behind a lot of resealing. Steamy rooms that do not dry out give mould all the damp it needs, and once it has grown into the bead, cleaning rarely gets it out.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Water escaping at the shower enclosure
- A messy, uneven bead from a previous reseal
- Water getting behind the kitchen upstand
- Sealant that has split, shrunk or peeled away
In and around Balnacra, as anywhere, good bathroom resealing starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint.
