About our bathroom resealing in Bower
A bead that has gone black, split or come away shouldn’t be left until there’s a leak. A photo of the joints helps when you send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk, and you’ll get a clear quote before any work starts. We work on sinks & splashbacks, kitchen worktops & upstands and shower trays & enclosures, and people most often call us about a bead that has pulled away from the tiles and two layers of silicone, both failing.
Being further from a city does not change the work: everything old is cut out, the joints are cleaned and dried, and new sealant or grout goes in. We just plan the journey and access beforehand.
Big or small, you get the same 12-month guarantee.

How it works
We work through the job in order: protect, prepare, seal, tidy. Typically it takes half a day or less for one room, longer when the kitchen is included and we leave things clean and tidy. Somewhere like Bower may be a longer drive, and the journey is planned ahead. Mention tracks, gates, ferries or anything else about the route.
- First, each joint is checked for movement and signs of water.
- The old silicone is cut out completely, along with the film it leaves on the tiles.
- The joint is cleaned, degreased and treated for mould.
- When the joint is dry, and a bath has been filled with water, the new silicone goes on.
- The bead is tooled smooth and you are told the cure time, usually around 24 hours.
Before we arrive
- Tell us if parking is tricky
- Clear the area around the work
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive

Advice
Also in Bower
DIY sealant or a professional job?
Not every job suits DIY: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
How the job changes by surface
Kitchen worktops & upstands
Worktop joints get wet and wiped every day. We seal them in a colour that suits the worktop, so the line doesn’t stand out.
Basins & vanity units
The back of a basin gets wet every time someone washes. Corners behind basins are where mould tends to start, so it’s cut out and renewed just like a bath joint.
What bathroom resealing looks like in Bower
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 doesn’t 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.

Honest limits
In fairness, there are a few things sealant will not fix:
- Cracks in the tray itself rather than the joint
- Leaks from a shower valve, waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
- A tray that rocks until it’s re-bedded
If you’re not sure, just send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk and we will give you a straight answer before booking.

When to call us in Bower
Not every tube in the shop is meant for a shower. Acrylic caulk and general-purpose sealants are not designed for a joint that’s wet every day, so they stain, crack or go mouldy before long. A bathroom joint needs anti-fungal sanitary silicone.
People generally contact us after spotting one of these:
- Shrunken sealant along the back of a worktop
- Water escaping at the shower enclosure
- Mouldy sealant that has gone black
- A messy, uneven bead from a previous reseal
If you live in an older home near Bower Parish Church, bathrooms in older houses have often been refitted more than once, with sealant laid over sealant.
Questions to ask before booking
- How the surfaces are prepared before sealing
- Is VAT in the price?
- How the colour is chosen
- Are they insured?

Bower: your questions answered
Is there a guarantee on bathroom resealing in Bower?
All our work, in Bower and everywhere else, comes with a 12-month guarantee. We’re fully insured, and an ARBOMaster approved applicator.
Can you do bathroom resealing in Bower?
Yes. We work across all of Scotland, and Bower is part of that. You can email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk and tell us what needs doing, and we’ll send you a clear quote.
Do I need to be at home?
That depends on where the joints are. For work indoors, someone needs to let us in, and for outside work we’ll agree access with you when we book.
How long does the new silicone need before I use the shower?
We give you the cure time before we leave, and it’s normally around 24 hours. Using it sooner can damage the bead.
How do I get a quote for bathroom resealing in Bower?
It depends on the job, so we quote each one individually. For a quick quote, drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk and tell us what needs doing and where.
Can you just seal over the old silicone?
No. It’s a common reason for reseals failing. We cut out all of the old sealant, clean the joint and start again.
Do you take out the old sealant first?
Yes, every time. New sealant will not bond properly to old, so the joint is cleaned back first.
