Bathroom resealing in Craigiebuckler, done properly
A bead that has gone black, split or come away is worth sorting before it lets water through. A photo of the joints helps when you email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk, and you will get a clear quote before any work starts. Common call-outs are for leaking joints on a shower screen and black spots spreading through the bead, across basins & vanity units, kitchen worktops & upstands and sinks & splashbacks.
From stone-built tenements to new flats and suburban houses, Craigiebuckler is in a city with every kind of home. Scottish water is generally soft, so limescale is less of a problem than in hard-water areas, but mould still grows into sealant and grout in a steamy bathroom.
There’s a 12-month guarantee on every job.

Your questions about bathroom resealing in Craigiebuckler
Do you work for landlords with property near Aberdeen station?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for. Just send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk with the address and what needs doing, and we’ll give you a clear price.
I’m in a tenement in Craigiebuckler. Could worn sealant affect the flat downstairs?
Yes, and the first sign is often a mark on the ceiling below. Cutting out the old sealant and laying a fresh bead puts a stop to it.
Do you take out the old sealant first?
Yes. All of the old material is cut out and the joint cleaned before resealing.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes, for 12 months. Good ventilation and gentle cleaning help it last.
Which products do you use?
The product depends on the job: sanitary silicone where it gets wet, and sealants suited to movement or weather elsewhere. We use products from Arbo and Everbuild.
Are you ARBOMaster approved?
Yes. We hold ARBOMaster approved applicator status.
What colours of sealant can you use?
White, clear and a range of colours are available. Where the joint is on show, we match it to the surface.
Do you do kitchens as well as bathrooms?
Yes. Worktops, sinks and splashbacks are all part of the job, with a sealant suited to kitchens, colour-matched where it shows.
When something else is needed
We will not take on work that won’t last, so these are the limits:
- A tray or bath that’s cracked through
- A bath or tray that moves because it is not properly supported
- Water coming from the plumbing rather than the joint
If in doubt, drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk and we will say what we think before you book.

DIY versus a professional finish
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, 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.
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. New silicone will not bond to old, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. All the old material has to come out first.
How the visit works
Good joint work is mostly preparation, so that is where we spend the time. 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. Parking in city streets around Craigiebuckler can be tight or controlled, so it helps to know about permits or nearby bays. If you’re in a flat, let us know how we get in at the street door.
- First, each joint is checked for movement and signs of water.
- The old silicone is cut out completely, along with the film it leaves on the tiles.
- The joint is cleaned, degreased and treated for mould.
- When the joint is dry, and a bath has been filled with water, the new silicone goes on.
- The bead is tooled smooth and you are told the cure time, usually around 24 hours.
How to prepare
- Let us know about parking restrictions
- On commercial sites, let us know about site rules
- Move anything stored near the joints

Bathroom resealing around Craigiebuckler
Craigiebuckler has hotels and guest accommodation nearby. As well as homes, we work in hotel bathrooms, where resealing and regrouting can be done room by room. Aberdeen, the Granite City, has plenty of granite tenements, and in a tenement, a failed seal can reach the flat below.
Schools such as Airyhall Primary School are buildings too, and its toilets, changing areas and kitchens need their sealant renewed like any other building’s. For landlords with property near Aberdeen station, a reseal between tenants is a quick way to make the bathroom and kitchen look cared for.

Why deal with it now?
A failed joint gets more costly to put right the longer it’s left. Once water is behind the bath, it can reach floorboards, panels and the ceiling underneath, turning a small job into a building repair. Wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint on the outside of a city building, and in a tall building in Craigiebuckler, damp can travel a long way before it shows.

Different surfaces, different methods
Sinks & splashbacks
Next to the sink, the sealant has to cope with constant water, and a food-safe product where it’s needed. The joint is laid neatly so it’s easy to wipe.
Shower trays & enclosures
The vertical joint where a screen profile meets the wall is a common leak point. We reseal it along with the base of the enclosure, following the enclosure maker’s guidance on which side to seal.
How to look after the new joints
Good habits help new joints last longer. Our tips:
- Keep scourers and sharp tools away from the bead
- Use gentle cleaners on the silicone
- Keep the fan on for a while after bathing
- Wipe up water along the back of the worktop
In a kitchen, don’t let water sit along the back of the worktop. A dry joint lasts longer.
Small signs come before a leak: lifting ends, gaps, dark shadows under the bead or a stain downstairs. Any of these means the joint needs attention.
