Honest limits
We will not take on work that will not last, so these are the limits:
- Damage behind the tiles that needs a tiler
- Leaks from a shower valve, waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
- A cracked shower tray or bath (that needs repair or replacement)

How we handle bathroom resealing in Branchton
We fill the bath before sealing it. The weight settles the bath to its lowest point, so the new joint is not pulled apart the first time it’s used. Quick jobs often leave it out, and it makes a real difference. We work on kitchen worktops & upstands, wet rooms and basins & vanity units, and people most often call us about water getting behind the kitchen upstand and black mould in the silicone that won’t clean off.
A bathroom in a place like Branchton 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.
Our work is backed for twelve months.

What happens if it’s left?
Tired sealant is not a reason to replace a bath or shower. Replacing the joint is generally all it takes, provided the bath, tray and tiles are in good order. If we find a deeper problem, you will hear it from us. Around Branchton, water from a failed joint in an older stone home can soak into timber and plaster.
We do not show prices on the website, because the cost depends so much on the job itself. For a quick quote, please send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk and we’ll talk you through it.

What the job involves on each surface
Shower trays & enclosures
There are generally two jobs in a shower: the tray-to-wall joint and the enclosure joints. Both take water every day, so each is cut out and renewed with anti-fungal sanitary silicone.
Sinks & splashbacks
Where a splashback meets the worktop, there’s a joint that catches every splash. It’s resealed in white, clear or a colour to suit.
How to look after the new joints
To keep the joints looking good and working properly:
- Keep scourers and sharp tools away from the bead
- Give the silicone its full cure time
- Use gentle cleaners on the silicone
- Squeegee the walls and tray after use
Keep bottles and razors off the sealant line, as they hold water against it. A quick squeegee after showering helps the joint dry.
Worktop joints fail quietly. Splashes run behind the back edge and soak into the worktop, where it can make the board swell. A reseal in time can save the worktop.
DIY versus a professional finish
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. New silicone won’t bond to old, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. Everything old must be removed first.
A DIY attempt doesn’t rule out a professional job. We cut it out and start again, so just mention it when you contact us.

Letting agents often deal with us directly. Send the address, what’s needed and the access arrangements.

Bathroom resealing in Branchton: local notes
Branchton is within about 2 miles of the coast. Near the coast, holiday lets and guest houses can see bathrooms used by one guest after another, which wears sealant and grout out faster than in a quiet home. 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 doesn’t dry out.
Rented homes near Branchton station change hands often, and a reseal between tenants is a quick way to make the bathroom and kitchen look cared for. For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Inverclyde Academy, we reseal washrooms and kitchens in schools and businesses as well as homes.

- We protect the area and cut out all of the old sealant.
- Next, the joint is cleaned and any mould is treated.
- The joint is left to dry, and baths are filled with water first.
- We apply anti-fungal sanitary silicone in one even bead and tool it neatly.
- We tidy up and give you the cure time, normally around 24 hours.

Related advice
Branchton: your questions answered
Is Branchton 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.
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Branchton station?
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 will give you a fixed price before work begins.
When can I use the bath or shower again?
Usually after around 24 hours. You will get the exact cure time before we leave.
Will there be a smell?
That depends on the sealant. Some smell for a while, some hardly at all, and any smell fades as they cure.
Can I choose the colour of the sealant?
We can use white, clear or a colour to suit. On a worktop we colour-match where the joint shows.
Is it worth trying it myself?
For a simple, easy-to-reach joint, a careful DIYer can do a reasonable job. The usual mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using too much.
Are you insured?
Yes. Full insurance covers our work.
Can you just seal over the old silicone?
No, never. Sealing over the top looks fine for a few weeks, then lifts, because silicone does not bond to silicone. Every trace of the old bead is removed first.
