Surface by surface
Sinks & splashbacks
Water getting under the rim of an inset sink can soak the worktop. We reseal the visible edge of the sink where it has failed.
Basins & vanity units
Basins take less water than showers, but the joint behind them is splashed every day. Corners behind basins are where mould tends to start, and we treat it exactly as we would a bath.
How we handle bathroom resealing in Clovenfords
A fresh bead of silicone changes how a bathroom looks more than most people expect. Black, patchy sealant makes clean tiles look tired, and a clean white or clear joint fixes it quickly. It also seals the gaps that let water behind the bath. We work on basins & vanity units, shower trays & enclosures and sinks & splashbacks, and the jobs we see most are a messy, uneven bead from a previous reseal and gaps where the bath or tray has moved.
Being further from a city does not change the work: old material out, joints cleaned and dried, and a fresh, even finish. We just plan the journey and access beforehand.
All our work comes with our 12-month guarantee.

Clovenfords questions

Yes, Clovenfords is within the area we cover. Our work covers the whole of Scotland. You can drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk and tell us what needs doing.
Do you cover smaller places like Clovenfords?
Yes, Clovenfords is covered. Our work covers the whole of Scotland, from towns to the smallest places. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
Is it OK to put new sealant on top of the old bead?
No, never. A bead laid over old silicone soon starts to come away, because silicone does not bond to silicone. We remove the old bead completely before resealing.
Is it messy?
Not at all. The area is protected while we work and cleaned up afterwards.
Will there be a smell?
Sometimes, a little. Any smell clears as the sealant cures.
Do you work for letting agents?
Yes. We work for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, businesses and hotels in Clovenfords.
How long does it take to reseal a bath or shower?
That depends on the number of joints and the state of the old sealant. For most single baths or showers, allow a couple of hours.

Bathroom resealing in Clovenfords: local notes
In Scotland, private landlords have to 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. 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 does not dry out.
For landlords with property near Galashiels station, a reseal between tenants is a quick way to make the bathroom and kitchen look cared for.

Letting agents often deal with us directly. Tell us the address, the job and how access works and we will quote.
Failed sealant is one of the commonest items on a check-out report, and it’s quick to put right between tenancies. Several properties can go on one quote.
Can I do it myself?
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.
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.
How the visit works
The work is kept neat and contained to the area we’re working on, so you can get on with your day. Expect the work to take a couple of hours for a single bath or shower, and we explain the cure time before we leave. In smaller Scottish places, parking is normally less of an issue than access and distance. Tell us how to find the property and how to reach the work, and the visit is planned around that.
- 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.
- When the joint is dry, and a bath has been filled with water, the new silicone goes on.
- We tool the bead to a neat finish and give you the cure time, generally around 24 hours.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us about any water getting in
- Mention any parking rules near the property
- Move anything stored near the joints
Getting a quote
A good description makes for an accurate quote. Let us know the location, the problem and roughly how many joints, and email photos if that is easy.
Advice
When to call us in Clovenfords
Silicone needs a clean, dry surface without any grease to stick to. Soap residue, oils and leftover silicone film all get in the way, so a rushed job can start to lift early.
If you can see any of these, it’s time to have the joints looked at:
- Black mould in the silicone that will not clean off
- Gaps between the worktop and the wall
- Water getting behind the bath panel
- Smears of silicone across the tiles
If you look after a building such as Galashiels Academy, its toilets, changing areas and kitchens need their sealant renewed like any other building’s.
