About our bathroom resealing in Botany
A bead that has gone black, split or come away is worth sorting before it lets water through. Just drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk with a photo of the joints, and you will get a clear quote for bathroom resealing in Botany. Common call-outs are for leaks into the floor or ceiling below and black mould in the silicone that won’t clean off, across wet rooms, sinks & splashbacks and basins & vanity units.
From stone-built tenements to new flats and suburban houses, Botany is in a city with every kind of home. Scottish water is generally soft, so limescale is less of a problem than in hard-water areas, but mould still grows into sealant and grout in a steamy bathroom.
Every job is covered by our one-year guarantee.

Botany questions
Do you work in hotels near Botany?
Yes, we work for hotels as well as homes and businesses. A room-by-room programme keeps most rooms in use while the work goes on.
I let a flat near Summerston station. Can you help?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. You can drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk with the address and a few details, and we’ll give you a fixed price before any work starts.
Does the resealing come with a guarantee?
Yes. All our work comes with a 12-month guarantee, and we are fully insured.
How long does the new silicone need before I use the shower?
We give you the cure time before we leave, and it’s usually around 24 hours. Getting it wet too early can spoil the new joint.
Is it OK to put new sealant on top of the old bead?
No. It’s a common reason for reseals failing. The old joint is stripped, cleaned and resealed from scratch.
Can I do it myself?
For a simple, easy-to-reach joint, a careful DIYer can do a reasonable job. Most DIY failures come from sealing over old material, wet joints or too much sealant.
Is it messy?
Very little: the area around the joints is protected first, and we tidy up before we go.
How long does it take to reseal a bath or shower?
It takes half a day or less for one room, longer when the kitchen is included. We’ll confirm how long your job needs when we quote.
Looking after it afterwards
To keep the joints looking good and working properly:
- Move toiletries away from the joint
- Dry worktop joints after washing up
- Open a window or run the fan so the room dries
- Let new sealant cure fully before it gets wet
Keep water off the new bead until it has cured, which is generally around 24 hours. After that, a quick wipe after showering helps keep it clean.
A failed kitchen joint is easy to miss. Splashes run behind the back edge and soak into the worktop, and the board underneath can swell. A reseal in time can save the worktop.
When to call us in Botany
Black mould is behind a lot of resealing. Bathrooms without good ventilation keep the silicone damp for hours, and mould that has grown into the silicone generally will not clean off.
If you can see any of these, it’s time to have the joints looked at:
- Lumpy, uneven sealant from a DIY attempt
- Black spots spreading through the bead
- Gaps between the worktop and the wall
- Water escaping at the shower enclosure
For landlords with property near Summerston station, a reseal between tenants is a quick way to make the bathroom and kitchen look cared for.
What to look for in a quote
- The length of the guarantee
- Whether they’re fully insured
- Is the old sealant removed completely?
- How the colour is chosen
What affects the quote in Botany
There’s no set price list. The quote depends on:
- The old material and how stubborn it is
- When we can work, for business premises
- The number and length of the joints
- Mould in or behind the old joints
Doing several joints on one visit is normally more efficient than separate visits, so tell us about everything that needs sealing. We’ll send you a clear quote for the lot.
What to tell us for a quote
What to tell us when you ask for a quote:
- The problem you’ve noticed
- A few pictures by email, if you can
- Whether it has been sealed before
- Roughly how big the job is
Quotes start with a quick conversation. Tell us what’s wrong, where it is and how much there is. When it suits you, drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk.
DIY versus a professional finish
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.
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. Silicone doesn’t stick to old silicone, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. Everything old must be removed first.
What we can’t put right
We will always be straight with you, so here’s what new sealant won’t do:
- Loose or hollow tiles, or failed tanking behind them
- A tray or bath that’s cracked through
- Leaks from a shower valve, waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
If in doubt, email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk and we will say what we think before you book.
What we seal
- Baths
- Shower trays & enclosures
- Sinks & splashbacks
- Wet rooms
- Kitchen worktops & upstands
- Basins & vanity units
How it works
Once we are on site, we check the joints match what you told us. If we find something unexpected, we talk it through with you first. Most jobs then take a couple of hours for one bath or shower, or most of a day for a full bathroom and kitchen. Many homes in Scotland’s cities are tenement flats, reached through a shared close and up a common stair. For a job in Botany, tell us the floor, how the door entry system works and where we can park nearby.
- We cover the area around the joints we are working on.
- We cut away the old sealant and clean off what’s left.
- 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.
- We finish the joint, clear up and tell you how long to leave it before it gets wet.
How to prepare
- Let us know about stairs, lifts or work at height
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit
- Clear the area around the work
