Bathroom resealing in Contin, done properly
Mr Mastic has more than 20 years’ experience of sealant work, and our applicators reseal bathrooms and kitchens across Contin. We are ARBOMaster approved and fully insured, and every job carries our 12-month guarantee. We work on shower trays & enclosures, baths and kitchen worktops & upstands, and people most often call us about new sealant laid over old sealant that is now lifting and leaks into the floor or ceiling below.
Bathrooms in smaller places like Contin 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.

Keeping the joints in good condition
After the cure time, these simple habits help:
- Move toiletries away from the joint
- Give the silicone its full cure time
- Avoid abrasive pads on the sealant
- Keep the fan on for a while after bathing
In a kitchen, do not let water sit along the back of the worktop and keep hot pans away from the silicone. The drier the joint stays, the longer it lasts.
A failed kitchen joint is easy to miss. Water gets behind the upstand and into the edge of a laminate worktop, and the board underneath can swell. Resealing before that happens protects the worktop.
Bathrooms and kitchens in Contin
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. Private landlords in Scotland must be registered and meet the Repairing Standard, which covers keeping fixtures and fittings in a reasonable state of repair. Failed sealant around a bath or shower is worth sorting between tenancies.
Letting a property close to Garve station? Then mouldy sealant is one of the first things a new tenant notices, so it’s worth renewing between lets.

Leave it or put it right?
Fresh sealant smartens a bathroom or kitchen with very little disruption, which helps when a home is being let or put on the market. A smeared, uneven DIY bead does the opposite, and it’s harder to put right later. When the nearest tradesperson is a drive away, it’s tempting to leave a small leak, but water through a failed joint keeps working away until it’s fixed.
Leaving a failed joint usually makes the job bigger, not smaller. If you are not sure whether it needs doing, send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk and we’ll give you an honest view and a quote.

Contin: your questions answered
Do you cover smaller places like Contin?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Our work covers the whole of Scotland. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
I let a flat near Garve station. Can you help?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for, and several properties can be quoted together. You can drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk with the details for a clear quote.
Do I have to be there?
That depends on where the joints are. For work indoors, someone needs to let us in, while outside work can sometimes be arranged differently.
Do you work for hotels and businesses?
Yes. Larger jobs can be planned room by room or area by area.
Is there any odour?
It depends on the product. Some smell for a while, some hardly at all, and any smell fades as they cure.
Should I try DIY first?
You can, for simple jobs. The key is preparation: remove all the old material and work on a clean, dry joint. We can always put it right if it fails.
Can you do several jobs on one visit?
Yes, we can. More than one area can go on one quote.
Is it messy?
Tidy work is part of the job. Nearby surfaces are protected.
Work for landlords, hotels and businesses
Water getting past a failed joint can damage the building, which matters even more when someone else lives there. Keeping joints in good order is simple maintenance that we can handle for you.
From a single let to a portfolio, the work is the same standard: the old material taken out, careful preparation and a 12-month guarantee.
Should I try it myself first?
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, 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.
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is, then guaranteed for a year.
How the visit works
A visit follows a simple pattern: we check the joints, protect the area around them, do the work and tidy away. Most jobs take a morning or an afternoon for most single baths and showers. Around Contin, distance and access matter more than parking. Tell us how to find the property and how to reach the work.
- We protect the area and cut out all of the old sealant, including the film left on the tiles.
- The joint is cleaned, degreased and treated for mould.
- Once it’s dry, any bath is filled so the bead is laid with it at its heaviest.
- A single bead of anti-fungal sanitary silicone is applied and tooled smooth.
- We tidy up and give you the cure time, normally around 24 hours.
Getting ready for the visit
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive
- For business premises, tell us about site rules or sign-in
- Mention any tricky access

Surface by surface
Wet rooms
Not every wet room leak is a sealant problem. We check the joints and say so if the fault looks to be elsewhere.
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.

What we’re called out for in Contin
Plenty of failed sealant has been laid over the top of older sealant. New silicone won’t bond to old silicone, so it peels, leaks and hides mould behind it.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- A reseal done over the top of the old bead
- Splits where the tray meets the wall
- A messy, uneven bead from a previous reseal
- Water getting behind the bath panel
In the older streets around Contin Church Of Scotland Parish Church, walls and floors in older homes can move, and sealant and grout show it first.
Questions to ask before booking
