Bathroom & kitchen resealing in Craigmore, Argyll and Bute
Problem with your baths, showers and worktops in Craigmore? We cut out the old, prepare the joints and apply the right sealant.
- Gaps between the worktop and the wall
- A bead that has pulled away from the tiles
- Black mould in the silicone that will not clean off
Aftercare tips
Simple care keeps the joints in good condition. We recommend:
- Keep an eye on the corners, where splits start
- Give the silicone its full cure time
- Never pick at the silicone with a blade
- Use gentle cleaners on the silicone
Check the sealant now and then. A small split or a corner lifting is easy to spot, so if something doesn’t look right, just drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk.
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.
How we handle bathroom resealing in Craigmore
Sealant is the soft line between a bath, shower or worktop and the wall. When it splits, shrinks or turns black, water gets behind it. Our team cut the old bead out completely and lay a new one in anti-fungal sanitary silicone. We work on wet rooms, basins & vanity units and sinks & splashbacks, and the jobs we see most are cracked, shrunken or lifting silicone and black spots spreading through the bead.
A bathroom in a place like Craigmore gets the same daily wear as one in a city flat. Limescale is less of a problem with Scotland’s generally soft water, but mould still takes hold in damp sealant and grout.
There’s a 12-month guarantee on every job.

The process
We keep the work tidy and contained to the joints we’re treating, so you can carry on as normal. The job normally takes two to three hours for a typical bath, depending on how much old sealant there is. Outdoor work around Craigmore depends on the weather, as sealant needs a dry surface, so an outdoor job can move if the forecast changes. Work indoors is not affected.
- We cover the area around the joints we are working on.
- Old sealant is sliced away and the residue removed.
- 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.
- The joint is finished neatly and we explain when it can get wet.
Getting ready for the visit
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive
- Mention any sign-in or site rules at work premises
- Let us know about stairs, lifts or work at height

Advice
Craigmore homes and their sealant
Craigmore is within about 1 mile of the coast. Coastal homes, holiday lets and guest houses can see heavy bathroom use in busy months, which wears sealant and grout out faster than in a quiet home. Craigmore 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.
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Rothesay Academy, we reseal washrooms and kitchens in schools and businesses as well as homes.

We quote each job individually. These are the things that affect it:
- Whether there’s mould to deal with

- The number of rooms or windows

Signs you need bathroom resealing in Craigmore
Mould is the reason many people want their sealant replaced. Steamy rooms that do not dry out give mould all the damp it needs, and once it has grown into the bead, cleaning rarely gets it out.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- Water escaping at the shower enclosure
- Gaps where the bath or tray has moved
- Cracked, shrunken or lifting silicone
- Damp behind the bath or under the tray
For an older house near a landmark such as Trinity Church, timber floors under older bathrooms flex, so joints need a sealant that moves with them.

Surface by surface
Basins & vanity units
On a basin, neatness shows: so we keep the line tidy and even, in white, clear or a colour to suit.
Kitchen worktops & upstands
Water behind a laminate worktop can make the edge swell. A continuous bead along the back keeps water out, as long as the worktop itself is firmly fixed.
DIY sealant or a professional job?
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, such as a straightforward joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
Some jobs are best left to a professional: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
Common questions in Craigmore
Will you come out to Craigmore?
Yes, we do. We work across all of Scotland, from towns to the smallest places. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
Do you take on hotel work around Craigmore?
Yes, hospitality work, including hotels, is part of what we do. Work can be planned room by room, and out-of-hours working can be arranged.
How long will the resealing take?
A single bath or shower takes about a couple of hours, including cutting out the old sealant. A whole bathroom plus the kitchen may take most of the day.
Do I have to be there?
Access is agreed with you when the job is booked. For inside work, that normally means someone being in.
Do you do kitchens as well as bathrooms?
Yes. The old sealant is cut out and the joint degreased, because cooking grease stops silicone sticking, then a colour-matched bead is laid.
What does bathroom resealing cost?
Size, access and the old material all affect the cost. Ask us for a quote and we’ll talk you through it.
Do you take out the old sealant first?
Yes. Sealing over the old bead is the commonest cause of early failure, so we never do it.
My sealant has gone black. Can you sort it?
Yes. Mould inside the bead rarely cleans out for good, so we cut it out, treat the joint and reseal with anti-fungal silicone.
What else we do in Craigmore
Why deal with it now?
Sorting it now is quick: the work takes a morning or an afternoon for most single baths and showers. Left until water gets through, the job can grow to lifting panels, drying out and decorating. Exposed walls in smaller Scottish places take a lot of wind and rain, and damp in stone or harled walls takes a long time to dry once water gets behind a joint.
Commercial jobs are quoted on the same basis as homes: the amount of work, how we reach it and what it needs, along with when we can work on site. Call for a quick quote and we’ll explain what it covers.
