Bathroom resealing in Cottown
Sealant is the soft line between a bath, shower or worktop and the wall. Once it cracks or goes mouldy, water starts to find its way through into walls, panels and floors. Every trace of the old sealant is taken out and replaced with anti-fungal sanitary silicone. We work on shower trays & enclosures, baths and kitchen worktops & upstands, and people most often call us about damp behind the bath or under the tray and splits where the tray meets the wall.
In and around a place like Cottown, homes range from older stone-built properties to newer houses. Where a building moves, cracked grout and split sealant are normally the first signs.
All of our work is guaranteed for twelve months.

Leave it or put it right?
Most of the work in a good reseal happens before any silicone goes on: removing all the old sealant, degreasing the joint, treating mould and drying it properly. Skip those steps and even the best silicone fails early. Around Cottown, water from a failed joint in an older stone home can soak into timber and plaster.
Instead of a standard rate, we look at what your job involves: the amount of work, the old material and the access. You’ll know the price before we begin.

Surface by surface
Baths
The long joint down the side of a bath is where most leaks start, especially under a shower. We finish it with a single, even bead of anti-fungal silicone, tooled so water can’t sit on it.
Shower trays & enclosures
Shower trays are sealed to the wall, and enclosures are sealed to the tray and tiles. Both take water every day, so both are resealed with anti-fungal sanitary silicone.
How it works
Most of a good job is in the preparation, and we don’t rush it. Joints are cleaned back and dried before anything new goes in. All told, the work takes a morning or an afternoon for most single baths and showers. For a place like Cottown, longer drives are planned in advance. Tell us about tracks, gates, a ferry crossing or anything unusual about getting there.
- Protection goes down around the bath, shower or worktop.
- We cut away the old sealant and clean off what’s left.
- Mould is treated, then the joint is left to dry thoroughly.
- Baths are filled first, then anti-fungal sanitary silicone is applied in a colour to suit.
- We finish the joint, clear up and tell you how long to leave it before it gets wet.
Preparing for the visit
- Clear items away from the joints we are working on
- Mention any tricky access
- Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints

What affects the quote in Cottown
We quote each job individually. This is what makes a difference:
- Access and height
- Which sealant suits the joint
- The number and length of the joints
- When we can work, for business premises
A failed joint rarely gets cheaper to fix by waiting, because water and mould keep working on it. If you are unsure, drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk for an honest opinion and a quote.
What to tell us for a quote
Photos help, but a description is a good start. Try to tell us:
- Whether it has been sealed before
- How we’d reach the joints
- What the problem is, such as mould, gaps, leaks or cracking
- Pictures of the joints, sent by email
There’s no standard price list. Instead, your job gets its own clear quote. To get started, drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk.

Do you do kitchens as well as bathrooms?
Yes. Where it’s needed by the sink, we use a food-safe sealant.
How long does it take to reseal a bath or shower?
It depends on how many joints there are and how much old sealant has to come out. Allow a couple of hours for a typical bath or shower.
Where are you based?
Our base is Crawley. We work across South East England, London and Scotland.
Can you do several jobs on one visit?
Yes, we can. Several rooms, windows or areas can go on one quote.
What do you need from me for a quote?
Where the job is, what the problem is and roughly how big it is. Photos by email help too.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes, a one-year guarantee. Looking after the joint as we suggest helps it last.
Keeping the joints in good condition
Simple care keeps the joints in good condition. Our advice:
- Wipe the sealant dry after showering
- Keep the fan on for a while after bathing
- Wait for the cure time we give you
- Clean with a mild bathroom cleaner and a soft cloth
Check the sealant now and then. Small splits and lifting ends are easy to catch early, and if anything looks wrong, just email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk.
Mould that starts as a few spots spreads through the bead. When it has grown right through, it rarely cleans out. Replacing the sealant early keeps the job small.

Should I try it myself first?
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that’s fine. We cut it out and start again, so just mention it when you contact us.

Water getting past a failed joint can damage the building, which matters even more when someone else lives there. Resealing at the right time is simple maintenance.
Bathroom resealing around Cottown
In Scotland, private landlords have to 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. Scotland’s water is generally soft, so sealant and grout see less limescale than in much of England. Mould is another matter: a bathroom that stays damp still turns sealant and grout black.
If you look after a building such as Kemnay Academy, washroom and kitchen sealant there needs the same care as at home, and schools and businesses are part of our work as well as homes. Letting a property close to Kintore station? Then mouldy sealant is one of the first things a new tenant notices, so it’s worth renewing between lets.
