- Cracked, shrunken or lifting silicone
- A reseal done over the top of the old bead
- Black spots spreading through the bead
Common problems we fix in Blackhill
Black mould is behind a lot of resealing. Steamy rooms that do not dry out keep the silicone damp for hours, and mould that has grown into the silicone usually will not clean off.
Look out for any of the following:
- Leaks into the floor or ceiling below
- A messy, uneven bead from a previous reseal
- Water escaping at the shower enclosure
- Water getting behind the kitchen upstand
If you let a flat or house near Alexandra Parade station, fresh sealant around the bath, shower and sink between tenancies helps a property present well and keeps leaks at bay.

Bathroom resealing in Blackhill
A fresh bead of silicone changes how a bathroom looks more than most people expect. Black, patchy sealant makes clean tiles look tired, and a clean white or clear joint fixes it quickly. Just as important, it closes the gaps water would otherwise get through. If you’re dealing with two layers of silicone, both failing and water getting behind the bath panel, we can help, whatever the surface.
Stone-built tenements are part of every Scottish city, alongside houses and newer flats. With flats above and below, a leak from a tired seal can reach the flat underneath.
Our work is backed for twelve months.

What bathroom resealing looks like in Blackhill
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. 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.
Around Blackhill, as everywhere, bathroom resealing is only as good as the preparation behind it.

What affects the cost of bathroom resealing
Some jobs are bigger than they look, and some smaller. What affects the quote:
- The size of the job
- Any mould that needs treating
- The type of sealant required
- When we can work, for business premises
What you pay reflects the work, not a rough estimate. That’s why we ask a few questions first and give you a clear quote before work begins.
Helping us quote
Before you ask for a quote, have a think about:
- Any access issues, like height or stairs
- A few pictures by email, if you can
- Whether it’s a home or a business
- What’s wrong with the joints now
Call for a quick quote, or email us if that is easier. Tell us about the joints that need doing and we’ll talk you through the work before giving you a price.
Why it’s worth doing now in Blackhill
The difference in a professional reseal is mostly what you don’t see: removing all the old sealant, degreasing the joint, treating mould and drying it properly. Without that preparation, the new bead will not last. For landlords in Blackhill, damp and leaks can be a Repairing Standard issue, so it’s worth fixing failed sealant before a tenant reports it.
Homes and businesses are quoted the same way: the amount of work, the access and the products needed, along with when we can work on site. Ask us for a quote and we’ll go through it with you.

DIY versus a professional finish
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and does not move well, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.
If you are 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 doesn’t work out, we can still put it right.
Questions from Blackhill
Could a leaking bath seal in my Blackhill flat reach the neighbours below?
It can. Tenement floors are normally timber, and water from a failed seal can find its way down to the flat below. Replacing tired sealant early is the simplest way to avoid that.
Do you cover Blackhill for bathroom resealing?
Yes. Our work covers the whole of Scotland, and Blackhill is part of that. Just drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk with a few details of the job.
Can I do it myself?
You can, for simple jobs. Preparation is everything: all the old sealant out, and a clean, dry joint. If it does not work out, we can redo it.
What information do you need?
The location, the problem and the rough size of the job. Photos by email help too.
What sealant do you use?
It depends on the joint: anti-fungal sanitary silicone in wet areas, and other sealants where joints move or face the weather. Brands we use include Arbo and Everbuild.
Can landlords and businesses book you?
Yes, often. Several properties can go on one quote, and between tenancies is a good time for the work.
Can you just seal over the old silicone?
No, never. A bead laid over old silicone soon starts to come away. We remove the old bead completely before resealing.
How long before the new sealant can get wet?
Normally after around 24 hours. We will tell you the cure time for the product we used.
Keeping the joints in good condition
How long the joints last depends on use and care. We suggest:
- Wipe the sealant dry after showering
- Run the extractor fan during and after every shower
- Keep scourers and sharp tools away from the bead
- Do not let bottles sit on the bead
Good ventilation does more than any cleaner. Use the fan, or open a window, while you bathe and for a while afterwards, so the bead dries out between uses.
Watch for the early signs: a corner lifting, a gap behind the bead, a dark line under the silicone or a damp patch on the ceiling below. Any of these means the joint needs attention.
How it works
Every visit runs the same way: we check the joints, mask and protect the surrounding surfaces, do the work and tidy away. Most jobs take a couple of hours for a single bath or shower. In a Scottish city, a lot of jobs are in tenement flats, up a common stair from a shared close. In Blackhill, it helps to know the floor, the door entry arrangements and the nearest parking.
- We protect the area and cut out all of the old sealant.
- We clean and degrease the joint and treat any mould.
- We let it dry fully and fill the bath with water before sealing.
- New anti-fungal silicone goes on in a colour to suit and is tooled to a clean finish.
- 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
- Move anything stored near the joints
- Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work

Related advice
What the job involves on each surface
Kitchen worktops & upstands
Kitchen joints need more degreasing than bathroom ones, since cooking leaves a film that stops silicone sticking. Proper degreasing is what helps the new joint last.
Shower trays & enclosures
Shower trays are sealed to the wall, and enclosures are sealed to the tray and tiles. Both get soaked every time the shower runs, so both are resealed with anti-fungal sanitary silicone.
