Bathroom resealing for Craigens and the surrounding area: the right sealant, proper preparation and a neat finish. Call for a quick quote.
- Mouldy sealant that has gone black
- Leaking joints on a shower screen
- Water getting behind the kitchen upstand
How the visit works
We bring everything the job needs with us, so there’s nothing for you to buy. After a quick look at the joints together, we protect the area and start. Most jobs take around two hours for one bath or shower, longer for a whole bathroom. Around Craigens, distance and access matter more than parking. Tell us how to find the property and how to reach the work.
- First the area is protected and every bit of old sealant removed.
- Next, the joint is cleaned and any mould is treated.
- 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 clear away and tell you when it can get wet, normally after around 24 hours.
How to prepare
- Tell us about any previous sealing or DIY attempts
- On commercial sites, let us know about site rules
- Tell us if parking is tricky

How we handle bathroom resealing in Craigens
The secret of a lasting bead is the preparation. The old sealant is removed to the last smear, after which the joint is degreased and any mould treated. New silicone goes on only when the joint is fully dry. We work on sinks & splashbacks, baths and wet rooms, and people most often call us about failed sealant on the screen profile and lumpy, uneven sealant from a DIY attempt.
Bathrooms in smaller places like Craigens 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.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything isn’t right with it, drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk.

How the job changes by surface
Wet rooms
Wet room floors move slightly as they’re used, so the internal corners need silicone rather than grout. Where grout in a corner has cracked, we can replace it with sealant.
Basins & vanity units
Vanity units have long, worktop-style joints against the wall. If water gets in, the cabinet underneath can swell, so a neat, continuous bead matters.
Craigens homes and their sealant
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. There are hotels and other places to stay in and around Craigens. Hotel bathrooms are part of our work as well as homes, and can be done room by room.
Homes close to Church of St. John include some older properties, and timber floors under older bathrooms flex, so joints need a sealant that moves with them. Schools such as Robert Burns Academy are buildings too, and its toilets, changing areas and kitchens need their sealant renewed like any other building’s.

Aftercare tips
A little care helps the new joints last. Our advice:
- Squeegee the walls and tray after use
- Clean with a mild bathroom cleaner and a soft cloth
- Run the extractor fan during and after every shower
- Keep bottles off the sealant line
Keep bottles and razors off the sealant line, as they hold water against it. A quick squeegee after showering keeps water from sitting on the joint.
A failed kitchen joint is easy to miss. Water gets behind the upstand and into the edge of a laminate worktop, where it can make the board swell. A reseal in time can save the worktop.

What should I tell you?
Just the basics: the address or postcode, what’s wrong and any access issues. After that, simply email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk.
My sealant has gone black. Can you sort it?

When to call us in Craigens
Sealing over old silicone is one of the commonest mistakes we find. Fresh silicone can’t grip the old bead underneath, so it lifts, lets water in and traps mould underneath.
The most common problems we see are:
- Water getting behind the bath panel
- Mouldy sealant that has gone black
- Gaps between the worktop and the wall
- A reseal done over the top of the old bead
Letting a property close to Auchinleck station? Then fresh sealant around the bath, shower and sink between tenancies helps a property present well and keeps leaks at bay.

- Which sealant they’ll use, and why
Work for landlords, hotels and businesses
Whether it’s one flat or a portfolio, you get the same standard of work: the old material taken out, careful preparation and a 12-month guarantee.
Landlords and letting agents in Craigens can book us as well as householders. Sealant work between tenants keeps a property looking cared for.
DIY versus a professional finish
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, such as a straightforward joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions.
What affects the quote in Craigens
We do not publish a price list. What we look at:
- The old material and how stubborn it is
- When we can work, for business premises
- Which sealant suits the joint
- Access and height
Rather than a set price list, we price the job in front of us: the amount of work, the old material and the access. The price is agreed before we begin.
What to tell us for a quote
Photos by email are helpful but not essential. Try to tell us:
- What the problem is, such as mould, gaps, leaks or cracking
- The type of property
- If someone has resealed it before
- Any access issues, like height or stairs
