FAQs for Colliston
Is Colliston in your area for bathroom resealing?
Yes, Colliston is within the area we cover. Our work covers the whole of Scotland. Just email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk with a few details of the job.
Do you cover smaller places like Colliston?
Yes, we do. We work across all of Scotland, from towns to the smallest places. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
Can you reseal around my kitchen sink and worktop?
Yes. Kitchen joints get extra degreasing before the new bead goes on, then we reseal in a colour to suit.
Should I try DIY first?
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.
Do you do commercial work?
Yes, regularly. Larger jobs can be planned room by room or area by area.
How long does the new silicone need before I use the shower?
Generally after around 24 hours. We will tell you the cure time for the product we used.
Where are you based?
Mr Mastic is based in Crawley. Our applicators cover Colliston, along with the rest of our area.
Do you take out the old sealant first?
Yes, every time. New silicone doesn’t stick to old silicone, so any old material comes out before anything new goes in.
How we handle bathroom resealing in Colliston
Resealing is a small job that makes a big difference. Mouldy silicone makes even a new bathroom look neglected, 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 baths, basins & vanity units and sinks & splashbacks, and people most often call us about cracked, shrunken or lifting silicone and new sealant laid over old sealant that is now lifting.
Bathrooms in smaller places like Colliston work just as hard as those in the cities. Generally soft Scottish water means less limescale, but steam still lets mould into sealant and grout.
You are covered for a year from the day we finish. If there’s a problem with it, please email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk.

What we cannot put right
Some problems need a builder, plumber or other trade rather than us:
- A bath or tray that moves because it isn’t properly supported
- Water getting in through the grout rather than the sealant
- Cracks in the tray itself rather than the joint

DIY sealant or a professional job?
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. Silicone doesn’t stick to old silicone, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. All the old material has to come out first.
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.
How to look after the new joints
Simple care keeps the joints in good condition. We recommend:
- Squeegee the walls and tray after use
- Wipe up water along the back of the worktop
- Keep the fan on for a while after bathing
- Keep bottles off the sealant line
Wipe up standing water along the worktop joint and keep hot pans off the bead. A dry joint lasts longer.
A split bead lets water through every time the bath or shower is used. Left alone, it soaks into the floor, the wall behind the tiles or the ceiling below. Resealing early stops it.
Common problems we fix in Colliston
Black mould is behind a lot of resealing. Steamy rooms that do not dry out give mould all the damp it needs, and once it has grown into the bead, cleaning rarely gets it out.
Any of these means the joints need attention:
- Two layers of silicone, both failing
- Smears of silicone across the tiles
- Black mould in the silicone that will not clean off
- Leaking joints on a shower screen
Around Colliston, as everywhere, bathroom resealing is only as good as the preparation behind it.

Colliston homes and their sealant
In Scotland, private landlords have to meet the Repairing Standard, which includes keeping fixtures and fittings in reasonable repair. Failed sealant around a bath or shower is worth sorting between tenancies. 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 let a flat or house near Arbroath station, fresh sealant around the bath, shower and sink between tenancies helps a property present well and keeps leaks at bay.

What we do, step by step
A visit follows a simple pattern: we look at the joints together, protect the area around them, do the work and clear up. Most jobs take half a day or less for one room, longer when the kitchen is included. Outdoor work around Colliston depends on the weather, as sealant needs a dry surface, so external jobs may need to move if the day turns wet. Work indoors isn’t affected.
- We look at every joint first and check for movement or leaks.
- The old silicone is cut out completely, along with the film it leaves on the tiles.
- Joints are degreased and any mould is treated.
- 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.
Preparing for the visit
- On commercial sites, let us know about site rules
- Clear the area around the work
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before

Why act early in Colliston
Dealing with sealant early is a short job: it takes a couple of hours for a single bath or shower. Wait for a leak and you may be looking at panels off, drying out and redecorating too. In a place like Colliston, small leaks are easy to put off, but water behind a failed seal does the most damage when nobody’s watching.
Some things make a job bigger or smaller: how much old sealant there is and how stubborn it is, any mould to treat, and whether we need extra access for height. We take all of that into account in your quote.
