Crawford homes and their sealant
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. 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.
If you live in an older home near Parish Church, older homes can move a little, which is hard on rigid grout and tired sealant.

How we handle bathroom resealing in Crawford
The bead of silicone around a bath, tray or worktop is what keeps water out of the gaps. Once it cracks or goes mouldy, water starts to find its way through into walls, panels and floors. Every trace of the old sealant is taken out and replaced with anti-fungal sanitary silicone. We work on wet rooms, baths and shower trays & enclosures, and people most often call us about leaks into the floor or ceiling below and a messy, uneven bead from a previous reseal.
A bathroom in a place like Crawford 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.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard.

Keeping the joints in good condition
No joint lasts for ever, but care makes a real difference. Our tips:
- Keep the fan on for a while after bathing
- Dry worktop joints after washing up
- Give the silicone its full cure time
- Squeegee the walls and tray after use
Do not stand bottles along the bead, because they trap water against the silicone. Squeegeeing the walls and tray after use helps the joint dry.
Each shower pushes a little more water through a failed joint. Left alone, it soaks into the floor, the wall behind the tiles or the ceiling below. Early resealing closes the gap before damage is done.
What we are called out for in Crawford
Black mould is behind a lot of resealing. Bathrooms without good ventilation keep the silicone damp for hours, and once it has grown into the bead, cleaning rarely gets it out.
It’s worth asking for a quote if you see:
- Water escaping at the shower enclosure
- A joint torn by a bath that flexes
- Mouldy sealant that has gone black
- New sealant laid over old sealant that is now lifting
In and around Crawford, as anywhere, good bathroom resealing starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint.

How the job changes by surface
Sinks & splashbacks
The edge of an inset sink is a common place for water to get under the worktop. We reseal the visible edge of the sink where it has failed.
Shower trays & enclosures
Water often gets past the wall profile of a shower enclosure. It’s resealed along with the tray joints, following the enclosure maker’s guidance on which side to seal.
Landlord and commercial work in Crawford
Whether it’s one flat or a portfolio, the work is the same standard: old sealant fully removed, joints prepared properly and a 12-month guarantee.
Hotels need rooms back in use, so the work can be planned room by room. Hotel work is part of what we do, alongside homes and businesses.
Common questions in Crawford
Do you cover smaller places like Crawford?
Yes, we do. We work across all of Scotland, from towns to the smallest places. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
Is bathroom resealing in Crawford guaranteed?
Every job comes with our 12-month guarantee, wherever it is. We are also fully insured and ARBOMaster approved.
When can I use the bath or shower again?
After around 24 hours in most cases. We’ll tell you the cure time for the product we used.
Is there any odour?
Possibly a little. Any smell clears as the sealant cures.
Can you get rid of the black mould in my sealant?
Yes. Mould inside the bead rarely cleans out for good, so the bead comes out, the joint is treated and new anti-fungal silicone goes in.
Is it OK to put new sealant on top of the old bead?
No, and it’s one of the main reasons reseals fail. We cut out all of the old sealant, clean the joint and start again.
Are you an approved applicator?
Yes. ARBOMaster is the approved applicator scheme for Arbo sealants, and we are part of it.
Will you leave a mess?
We keep the work tidy. Nearby surfaces are protected.
How the visit works
All our tools and materials come with us in the van, so there’s nothing for you to buy. Once we’ve agreed what’s being done, we protect the area and start. Most jobs take a morning or an afternoon for most single baths and showers. Around Crawford, distance and access matter more than parking. Let us know how to find you and how to reach the joints.
- We look at every joint first and check for movement or leaks.
- Every trace of the old bead is removed, including the thin smear on the tiles.
- Joints are degreased and any mould is treated.
- When the joint is dry, and a bath has been filled with water, the new silicone goes on.
- We tool the bead to a neat finish and give you the cure time, normally around 24 hours.
Preparing for the visit
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit
- Keep children and pets away from the work area
- Let us know about stairs, lifts or work at height

Advice

What else we do in Crawford
Why deal with it now?
Tired sealant isn’t a reason to replace a bath or shower. A new bead often brings the whole room back. If we find a deeper problem, you will hear it from us. Exposed walls in smaller Scottish places take a lot of wind and rain, and once water gets behind a failed joint, damp in stone or harled walls is slow to dry out.
The cost reflects the work involved, not a rough estimate. That’s why we ask about the job first and give you a clear price before we start.

What sealant work cannot fix
Some problems need a builder, plumber or other trade rather than us:
- Leaks from a shower valve, waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
- Movement from a bath with loose feet or no proper support
- Tiles that have come away from the wall
If in doubt, send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk and we’ll say what we think.
