When it is not the sealant
Some problems need a builder, plumber or other trade rather than us:
- Tiles that have come away from the wall
- A cracked shower tray or bath (that needs repair or replacement)
- A tray that rocks until it’s re-bedded
If you’re not sure, just send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.

How to look after the new joints
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Never pick at the silicone with a blade
- Dry the bead with a towel now and then
- Let new sealant cure fully before it gets wet
- Don’t let bottles sit on the bead
Clean the silicone with care: a mild bathroom cleaner and a soft cloth is enough. Scourers and blades can nick the surface, because a damaged bead gives mould a foothold.
Don’t wait for a refit to deal with failed sealant. Sealant is a maintenance item, like the paint on a window frame, and replacing it when it fails protects the rest of the room.

What else we do in Covington
Work for landlords, hotels and businesses
In hotels, rooms out of use cost money, so we plan the work room by room around your bookings where we can. We’ve worked in hotels as well as homes and businesses.
A neglected joint can let water reach the structure, which is a bigger problem in a rented property. Keeping joints in good order is simple maintenance.
FAQs for Covington
Do you cover Covington for bathroom resealing?
Yes, Covington is within the area we cover. Our work covers the whole of Scotland. You can send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk and let us know what needs doing, and we will send you a clear quote.
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Carstairs station?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. Just drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk and tell us about the property, and we’ll send you a clear quote.
When can I use the bath or shower again?
Silicone is touch-dry quite quickly, but it takes longer to cure. Keep water off it for around 24 hours, or as long as we advise for that product.
Do the sealants smell?
There can be a smell while the sealant cures. Opening a window helps.
Can you get rid of the black mould in my sealant?
Yes. We strip the bead, treat the joint and lay new anti-fungal silicone.
Do you do commercial work?
Yes. We’ve worked for hotels, offices and other businesses, and we are fully insured.
Do you reseal kitchen worktops and sinks too?
Yes. Next to the sink we use a food-safe product where it’s needed.
Does the resealing come with a guarantee?
Yes. Our 12-month guarantee covers every job, and we’re ARBOMaster approved applicators.
DIY sealant or a professional job?
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions, then guaranteed for a year.
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, 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 it works
On the day, there’s very little for you to do. Point us to the joints and we’ll get on with it. The job generally takes half a day or less for one room, longer when the kitchen is included from start to finish. In smaller Scottish places, parking is generally less of an issue than access and distance. Tell us how to find the property and how to reach the work.
- 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
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit
- Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed
- For business premises, tell us about site rules or sign-in

Advice
Bathroom resealing around Covington
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. 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.
Homes close to Covington Parish Church include some older properties, and bathrooms in older houses have often been refitted more than once, with sealant laid over sealant.

Do you need bathroom resealing in Covington?
Black mould is behind a lot of resealing. Steamy rooms that don’t dry out give mould all the damp it needs, and mould that has grown into the silicone usually won’t clean off.
It’s worth asking for a quote if you see:
- Water getting behind the kitchen upstand
- Sealant that has split, shrunk or peeled away
- Black mould in the silicone that won’t clean off
- Failed sealant on the screen profile
Rented homes near Carstairs station change hands often, and fresh sealant around the bath, shower and sink between tenancies helps a property present well and keeps leaks at bay.
