- Damp behind the bath or under the tray
- Two layers of silicone, both failing
- Splits where the tray meets the wall
Should I try it myself first?
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is.
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.
How we handle bathroom resealing in Boghead
We fill the bath before sealing it. The weight settles the bath to its lowest point, so the bead is not stretched the first time someone gets in. Quick jobs often leave it out, and it makes a real difference. If you have two layers of silicone, both failing and failed sealant on the screen profile, we can put it right, on wet rooms, sinks & splashbacks and basins & vanity units alike.
In and around a place like Boghead, homes range from older stone-built properties to newer houses. Where a building moves, cracked grout and split sealant are usually the first signs.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there’s a problem with our work within the year, let us know and we will sort it.

Asking for a quote

- What the problem is, such as mould, gaps, leaks or cracking
- Any previous sealing or DIY work
- Access, such as stairs, a lift or height
- The type of property
Quotes start with a quick conversation. Describe the problem, the location and the size of the job, and we will explain how we’d tackle it. When it suits you, send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk.
The process
The work is kept neat and contained to the area we’re working on, so you can get on with your day. The job normally takes around two hours for one bath or shower, longer for a whole bathroom, and we explain the cure time before we leave. In smaller Scottish places, parking is generally less of an issue than access and distance. Let us know how to find you and how to reach the joints.
- We cover the area around the joints we are working on.
- Old sealant is sliced away and the residue removed.
- We treat any mould and let the joint dry properly.
- Baths are filled first, then anti-fungal sanitary silicone is applied in a colour to suit.

Keeping the joints in good condition
After the cure time, these simple habits help:
- Wipe the sealant dry after showering
- Do not leave water standing on kitchen joints
- Keep an eye on the corners, where splits start
- Open a window or run the fan so the room dries
Treat the new bead gently when you clean: warm soapy water and a soft cloth do the job. Scourers and blades can nick the surface, and a nicked bead lets mould in sooner.
Watch for the early signs: lifting ends, gaps, dark shadows under the bead or a stain downstairs. Any of these means the joint needs attention.

Bathroom resealing in Boghead: local notes
Private landlords in Scotland must be registered and meet the Repairing Standard, which covers keeping fixtures and fittings in a reasonable state of 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.
If you look after a building such as Lesmahagow High School, we reseal washrooms and kitchens in schools and businesses as well as homes. In and around Boghead, as anywhere, good bathroom resealing starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint.

Honest limits

- Loose or hollow tiles, or failed tanking behind them
- Water getting in through the grout rather than the sealant
- Movement from a bath with loose feet or no proper support

Common questions in Boghead
Is Boghead in your area for bathroom resealing?
Yes. We work across all of Scotland, and Boghead is part of that. Just drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk with a few details of the job, and we’ll give you a clear price.
Is bathroom resealing in Boghead guaranteed?
All our work, in Boghead and everywhere else, comes with a 12-month guarantee. We’re also fully insured and ARBOMaster approved.
How long does a bath or shower reseal take?
One bath or shower is around two hours’ work, including cutting out the old sealant. A whole bathroom plus the kitchen may take most of the day.
Which products do you use?
Products from Arbo and Everbuild, among others, picked for each joint. We’ll tell you what we are using and why.
Is there any odour?
Possibly a little. Any smell clears as the sealant cures, and ventilation helps.
Can you reseal around my kitchen sink and worktop?
Yes, often alongside a bathroom. Next to the sink we use a food-safe product where it’s needed.
Do I need to be at home?
We need access to the joints, so we’ll agree that with you when we book. For inside work, that normally means someone being in.
My sealant has gone black. Can you sort it?
Yes, we replace the mouldy bead. Sprays can fade the marks, but cutting it out and resealing is what lasts. Good ventilation helps keep it away.
Different surfaces, different methods
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 and is not stretched when it’s used.
Sinks & splashbacks
Splashbacks in glass, tile or acrylic meet the worktop in a long joint. We renew it in clear, white or a matched colour.
