Bathroom & kitchen resealing in Craigton, Dundee
Baths, showers and worktops in Craigton need attention? We cut out the old, prepare the joints and apply the right sealant.
- Damp behind the bath or under the tray
- Splits where the tray meets the wall
- Sealant that has split, shrunk or peeled away
Looking after it afterwards
A little care helps the new joints last. We recommend:
- Look for lifting corners and small gaps now and then
- Keep scourers and sharp tools away from the bead
- Use gentle cleaners on the silicone
- Don’t leave water standing on kitchen joints
Good ventilation does more than any cleaner. Run the extractor fan during and after a shower, so the silicone gets a chance to dry.
Small signs come before a leak: a corner lifting, a gap behind the bead, a dark line under the silicone or a damp patch on the ceiling below. Any of these means the joint needs attention.

The process
We keep the work tidy and contained to the area we are working on, so you can get on with your day. The job generally takes a morning or an afternoon for most single baths and showers, and we explain the cure time before we leave. For a place like Craigton, longer drives are planned in advance. Mention tracks, gates, ferries or anything else about the route.
- We cover the area around the joints we’re working on.
- Old sealant is sliced away and the residue removed.
- We treat any mould and let the joint dry properly.
- Any bath is filled with water, then we lay a bead of anti-fungal silicone in white, clear or a matching colour.
- We finish the joint, clear up and tell you how long to leave it before it gets wet.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention any sign-in or site rules at work premises
- Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work
- Tell us about any water getting in

Landlord and commercial work in Craigton
Landlords and letting agents in Craigton can book us as well as homeowners. Sealant work between tenants keeps a property looking cared for before the next move-in.
We also work for businesses, from offices to washrooms and kitchens. For commercial premises, we can talk through working times when we quote.
What we’re called out for in Craigton
Sealing over old silicone is one of the commonest mistakes we find. New silicone will not bond to old silicone, so it peels, leaks and hides mould behind it.
Most people get in touch after spotting one of these:
- Failed sealant on the screen profile
- Gaps where the bath or tray has moved
- Mouldy sealant that has gone black
- Cracked, shrunken or lifting silicone
Rented homes near Barry Links station change hands often, and mouldy sealant is one of the first things a new tenant notices, so it’s worth renewing between lets.

Your questions about bathroom resealing in Craigton
I let a flat near Barry Links station. Can you help?
Yes, we work for landlords and letting agents. Just email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk and tell us about the property, and we’ll give you a clear quote.
Do you cover smaller places like Craigton?
Yes, we do. We work across all of Scotland, and smaller places are part of that. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
What does bathroom resealing cost?
There’s no set price, as it depends on the job: its size, the old material, access and the product needed. We agree the price before any work begins.
Do you have insurance?
Yes. We’re fully insured.
Do you hold any approvals?
Yes. We’re ARBOMaster approved, the scheme for applicators of Arbo sealants.
How long before the new sealant can get wet?
Around 24 hours is typical, and we confirm the time for the product used. Getting it wet too early can spoil the new joint.
Will the old sealant be removed?
Yes, every time. New sealant won’t bond properly to old, so any old material comes out before anything new goes in.
Can I do it myself?
You can, for simple jobs. The key is preparation: remove all the old material and work on a clean, dry joint. If it doesn’t work out, we can redo it.

Bathrooms and kitchens in Craigton
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 doesn’t dry out. Private landlords in Scotland must be registered and meet the Repairing Standard, which includes keeping fixtures and fittings in reasonable repair. Failed sealant around a bath or shower is worth sorting between tenancies.
If you live in an older home near Parish Church And Burial-Ground, timber floors under older bathrooms flex, so joints need a sealant that moves with them.

Why deal with it now?
A clean new bead makes a room look cared for, which helps when a home is being let or put on the market. A smeared, uneven DIY bead does the opposite, and it’s harder to put right later. When the nearest tradesperson is a drive away, it’s tempting to leave a small leak, but water through a failed joint keeps working away until it’s fixed.
Every job is a little different, so we quote each one individually. Size, access and the product the joint needs all play a part.

What the job involves on each surface
Wet rooms
If a wet room leaks, the cause may be the tanking or the drain rather than the joints. We check the joints and say so if the fault looks to be elsewhere.
Kitchen worktops & upstands
Kitchen joints need more degreasing than bathroom ones, because cooking grease stops sealant bonding. The extra cleaning is what makes the bead last.
