Different surfaces, different methods
Wet rooms
Wet room floors move slightly as they’re used, so the corners need a flexible seal, not grout. Where grout in a corner has cracked, we can replace it with sealant.
Kitchen worktops & upstands
Upstands and back edges are cut out, cleaned of grease and resealed, since cooking leaves a film that stops silicone sticking. The extra cleaning is what makes the bead last.
How we handle bathroom resealing in Cartsdyke
Resealing is a small job that makes a big difference. Black, patchy sealant makes clean tiles look tired, and a clean white or clear joint fixes it quickly. Just as important, it closes the gaps water would otherwise get through. We work on basins & vanity units, wet rooms and shower trays & enclosures, and common reasons people get in touch are smears of silicone across the tiles and a bead that has pulled away from the tiles.
Being further from a city does not change the work: old material out, joints cleaned and dried, and a fresh, even finish. The journey and access are simply planned in advance.
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.

What we’re called out for in Cartsdyke
Sealant laid on a damp, dusty or greasy joint never bonds properly. Traces of soap, bath oil and old sealant stop it gripping, and a joint that looked fine soon begins to come away.
Look out for these signs:
- Smears of silicone across the tiles
- Water getting behind the bath panel
- Sealant that has split, shrunk or peeled away
- Water escaping at the shower enclosure
In the older streets around St Laurence’s Church (Greenock), older homes can move a little, which is hard on rigid grout and tired sealant.
Before you book anyone
- Whether the sealant suits the joint
- Is the old sealant removed completely?
- How much experience the applicator has
- Is VAT in the price?
When something else is needed
It helps to know what we can’t do too:
- Loose or hollow tiles, or failed tanking behind them
- Leaks from a shower valve, waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
- Failed grout lines across the wall
If in doubt, send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk and we will say what we think.

Should I try it myself first?
Some jobs are best left to a professional: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, such as a straightforward joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.
Bathroom resealing around Cartsdyke
Cartsdyke is within about 1 mile of the coast. Coastal homes, holiday lets and guest houses can see heavy bathroom use in busy months, and sealant and grout that work that hard wear out sooner. Scottish Water supplies are generally soft, so limescale is less of a problem than in hard-water areas. Mould is another matter: a bathroom that stays damp still turns sealant and grout black.
If you look after a building such as Wellington Academy, we reseal washrooms and kitchens in schools and businesses as well as homes. If you let a flat or house near Whinhill station, a reseal between tenants is a quick way to make the bathroom and kitchen look cared for.
Cartsdyke is about 1 mile east of Greenock, in Inverclyde.

Local landmarks in Cartsdyke
In Cartsdyke, that means homes and buildings near The James Watt pub and Watt Library. Cartsdyke has its own railway station: Whinhill station. Nearby you will also find Greenock Royal Infirmary (1 mile west) and Oak Mall (0.9 miles north-west). Green spaces nearby include Lyle Hill.
What we do, step by step
Our applicators work methodically: protect, prepare, seal, tidy. Typically it takes a couple of hours for a single bath or shower, and the area is left clean. Outside jobs in Cartsdyke need a dry day, because sealant will not bond to a wet joint, so an outdoor job can move if the forecast changes. Work indoors isn’t affected.
- First, each joint is checked for movement and signs of water.
- Every trace of the old bead is removed, including the thin smear on the tiles.
- The joint is cleaned, degreased and treated for mould.
- With the joint dry, and any bath loaded with water, a single bead of anti-fungal silicone is applied.
- The bead is tooled smooth and you are told the cure time, generally around 24 hours.
Before we arrive
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before
- Mention any tricky access
- Keep children and pets away from the work area

Why it’s worth doing now in Cartsdyke
Sorting it now is quick: the work takes a couple of hours for one bath or shower, or most of a day for a full bathroom and kitchen. Wait for a leak and you may be looking at panels off, drying out and redecorating too. 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.
Commercial jobs are quoted on the same basis as homes: the amount of work, how we reach it and what it needs, plus any working-time requirements on site. Call for a quick quote and we’ll explain what it covers.

Do you take on hotel work around Cartsdyke?
Yes. Hotel and guest-house work is part of what we do. Jobs can be programmed room by room, with out-of-hours working possible to arrange.
Is there any odour?
Some sealants have a smell while they cure, which fades as it sets. Ventilation helps.
Can new silicone go straight over the old?
No. Fresh silicone can’t stick to the old bead, so it peels away and hides mould and water. We always take the old sealant out completely.
