Bathroom resealing in Caddonfoot

We are ARBOMaster approved and fully insured, and the work comes with a 12-month guarantee. We work on basins & vanity units, shower trays & enclosures and baths, and people most often call us about black mould in the silicone that won’t clean off and gaps between the worktop and the wall.
Across smaller places in Scotland, homes range from stone and harled cottages to newer houses. Older buildings can move a little, and that shows first in cracked grout and split sealant.

DIY sealant or a professional job?
If you’re set on DIY, put the effort into preparation: take out all the old sealant, make sure the joint is clean and dry, and give it the full cure time. If it does not work out, we can still put it right.
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, 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.
Your questions about bathroom resealing in Caddonfoot
I let a flat near Galashiels station. Can you help?
Yes, we work for letting agents and landlords. Just email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk and tell us about the property, and we will give you a clear price.
Can you do bathroom resealing in Caddonfoot?
Yes, Caddonfoot is within the area we cover. We work across all of Scotland. Just email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk with a few details of the job.
What do you put in the joint?
Each joint gets the product that suits it. Where it moves, gets wet or faces the weather makes a difference.
What should I tell you?
The location, the problem and the rough size of the job. If you can, email a few pictures.
Is white the only colour available?
White, clear and a range of colours are available. Where the joint is on show, we match it to the surface.
Where is Mr Mastic based?
Our base is in Crawley, and we cover South East England, London and all of Scotland.
How long does the new silicone need before I use the shower?
The surface skins over fairly quickly, but the bead needs longer to cure right through. Leave it around 24 hours before it gets wet, or as long as we advise for that product.
How long does a bath or shower reseal take?
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.
What sealant work can’t fix
In fairness, there are a few things sealant won’t fix:
- Movement from a bath with loose feet or no proper support
- Cracked or missing grout between tiles (that’s regrouting)
- Leaks from a shower valve, waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
Not sure which it is? You can send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk and we’ll tell you honestly.

How the job changes by surface
Shower trays & enclosures
A tray that rocks will split any sealant. Movement is checked before anything is resealed, and if the tray needs refixing, we’ll say so.
Baths
Most bath leaks begin along the long edge, especially under a shower. It gets one smooth bead of anti-fungal silicone.
For landlords and businesses
Mouldy or split sealant often shows up at the end of a tenancy. Several properties can be quoted together.
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, what’s needed and the access arrangements and we’ll quote.
How it works
A visit follows a simple pattern: we check the joints, protect the area around them, carry out the job and clear up. It generally takes a morning or an afternoon for most single baths and showers. 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.
- Protection goes down around the bath, shower or worktop.
- Old sealant is sliced away and the residue removed.
- Mould is treated, then the joint is left to dry thoroughly.
- Any bath is filled with water, then we lay a bead of anti-fungal silicone in white, clear or a matching colour.
- The joint is finished neatly and we explain when it can get wet.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before
- Let us know about parking restrictions
- Move anything stored near the joints

What happens if it’s left?
Bleach and mould sprays may lighten black marks for a while, but mould that has grown into the sealant tends to return. Cutting it out and resealing with anti-fungal silicone is the fix that lasts. Exposed walls in smaller Scottish places take a lot of wind and rain, and once water gets behind a failed joint, damp in stone or harled walls is slow to dry out.
Leaving a failed joint usually makes the job bigger, not smaller. If you’re not sure whether it needs doing, email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk for an honest opinion and a quote.

Bathroom resealing in Caddonfoot: 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. Tired, leaking sealant is worth putting right before a new tenant moves in. 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 Galashiels station change hands often, and fresh sealant around the bath, shower and sink between tenancies helps a property present well and keeps leaks at bay.

What we’re called out for in Caddonfoot
A bath shifts a little every time it’s filled and emptied. Acrylic in particular gives slightly under the weight of water and a person, and a tray that is not fully bedded can rock. That movement works at the bead until it splits or peels away.
Look out for these signs:
- A messy, uneven bead from a previous reseal
- Water escaping at the shower enclosure
- Black spots spreading through the bead
- Cracked, shrunken or lifting silicone
In and around Caddonfoot, as anywhere, good bathroom resealing starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint.
