About our bathroom resealing in Cove
With over 20 years in the trade, we reseal baths, showers and kitchens in homes across Cove. We’re ARBOMaster approved and fully insured, and every job carries our one-year guarantee. We work on wet rooms, kitchen worktops & upstands and basins & vanity units, and the jobs we see most are new sealant laid over old sealant that is now lifting and failed sealant on the screen profile.
Being further from a city doesn’t change the work: old material out, joints cleaned and dried, and a fresh, even finish. We just plan the journey and access beforehand.
All of our work is guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you are.

Should I try it myself first?
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions, and the work is guaranteed for a year.
What happens if it’s left?
Bleach and mould sprays may lighten black marks for a while, but mould that has grown into the sealant tends to return. Cutting it out and resealing with anti-fungal silicone is the fix that lasts. Around Cove, water from a failed joint in an older stone home can soak into timber and plaster, which is a far bigger job than the sealant.
A failed joint rarely gets cheaper to fix by waiting, as water and mould keep getting in. If you’re unsure, email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk and we’ll give you an honest view and a quote.

How it works
We bring everything the job needs with us, so you don’t need to buy or prepare anything. After a quick look at the joints together, we protect the area and start. Most jobs take two to three hours for a typical bath, depending on how much old sealant there is. Outdoor work around Cove depends on the weather, as sealant needs a dry surface, so an outdoor job can move if the forecast changes. Indoor work goes ahead whatever the weather.
- We protect the area and cut out all of the old sealant.
- We clean and degrease the joint and treat any mould.
- We let it dry fully and fill the bath with water before sealing.
- We apply anti-fungal sanitary silicone in one even bead and tool it neatly.
- Finally we tidy up and explain the cure time before we leave.
Before we arrive
- Tell us if parking is tricky
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit
- On commercial sites, let us know about site rules

What else we do in Cove
When to call us in Cove
Plenty of failed sealant has been laid over the top of older sealant. New silicone will not bond to old silicone, so it peels, leaks and hides mould behind it.
These are the problems we’re asked about most:
- Damp behind the bath or under the tray
- Sealant that has split, shrunk or peeled away
- Two layers of silicone, both failing
- Leaking joints on a shower screen
Around Cove, as everywhere, bathroom resealing is only as good as the preparation behind it.

Bathroom resealing in Cove: local notes
Cove is close to the coast. Near the coast, holiday lets and guest houses can see bathrooms used by one guest after another, which wears sealant and grout out faster than in a quiet home. 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.
Homes close to Cockburnspath Parish Church include some older properties, and bathrooms in older houses have often been refitted more than once, with sealant laid over sealant.

What the job involves on each surface
Basins & vanity units
Basin joints are short and close to eye level: the bead is right in front of you, so it’s tooled cleanly and evenly, in white, clear or a colour to suit.
Sinks & splashbacks
Where a splashback meets the worktop, there’s a joint that catches every splash. We renew it in clear, white or a matched colour.
When it isn’t the sealant
In fairness, there are a few things sealant will not fix:
- A leaking waste, trap or valve
- Cracks in the tray itself rather than the joint
- Cracked or missing grout between tiles (that’s regrouting)
If you’re not sure, just send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk and we will give you a straight answer before you book.
