About our bathroom resealing in Crombie
The bead of silicone around a bath, tray or worktop is what keeps water out of the gaps. When it splits, shrinks or turns black, water gets behind it and into the wall or floor. Our team cut the old bead out completely and lay a new one in anti-fungal sanitary silicone. If you are dealing with a messy, uneven bead from a previous reseal and gaps between the worktop and the wall, we can help, on sinks & splashbacks, baths and wet rooms alike.
Bathrooms in smaller places like Crombie 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.
There’s a 12-month guarantee on every job, large or small.

Keeping the joints in good condition
Joint life depends on how it’s used and looked after. We suggest:
- Let new sealant cure fully before it gets wet
- Run the extractor fan during and after every shower
- Don’t let bottles sit on the bead
- Stick to a soft cloth and a mild cleaner
Keep bottles and razors off the sealant line, as they hold water against it. Squeegeeing the walls and tray after use helps the joint 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. If you spot one, it’s time to reseal.
FAQs for Crombie
Will you come out to Crombie?
Yes, we do. Our work covers the whole of Scotland, and smaller places are part of that. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
Do you work for landlords with property near Dunfermline City station?
Yes, we work for letting agents and landlords. Just drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk and tell us about the property, and we’ll give you a clear price.
Is white the only colour available?
White and clear are the most common choices, but other colours can be used to suit tiles and worktops. Tell us what you’d like when you get in touch.
Can mouldy silicone be sorted out?
Yes. Once mould has grown into the silicone, it normally can’t be cleaned out for good, so the bead comes out, the joint is treated and new anti-fungal silicone goes in.
Where do you work from?
Our base is in Crawley, and we work across South East England, London and Scotland.
Will the old sealant be removed?
Yes, every time. New sealant will not bond properly to old, so any old material comes out before anything new goes in.
What sealant do you use?
Each joint gets the product that suits it. Where it moves, gets wet or faces the weather makes a difference.
Do the sealants smell?
It depends on the product. Some products have a noticeable smell, others very little, and any smell fades as they cure.
When to call us in Crombie
The wrong product fails fast. Acrylic caulk and general-purpose sealants are not designed for a joint that is wet every day, so they crack, discolour or grow mould quickly. Wet areas call for a sanitary silicone with an anti-fungal additive.
These are the problems we are asked about most:
- Gaps where the bath or tray has moved
- Water getting behind the kitchen upstand
- Leaks into the floor or ceiling below
- Sealant that has split, shrunk or peeled away
Homes close to Cairneyhill Church include some older properties, and walls and floors in older homes can move, and sealant and grout show it first.

What else we do in Crombie
What happens on the day
We keep the work tidy and contained to the area we’re working on, so you can carry on as normal. The job usually takes a morning or an afternoon for most single baths and showers, and we explain the cure time before we leave. Around Crombie, 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.
- The old silicone is cut out completely, along with the film it leaves on the tiles.
- Joints are degreased and any mould is treated.
- With the joint dry, and any bath loaded with water, a single bead of anti-fungal silicone is applied.
- We tool the bead to a neat finish and give you the cure time, generally around 24 hours.
How to prepare
- For business premises, tell us about site rules or sign-in
- Move anything stored near the joints
- For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can

Quotes for bathroom resealing in Crombie
The price is agreed before any work begins. It takes into account:
- Any mould that needs treating
- Any working-time requirements on site
- The old material and how stubborn it is
- The product the joint needs
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 help, but a description is a good start. Please mention:
- If it’s domestic, commercial or a hotel
- Photos by email, if that is easy
- What the problem is, such as mould, gaps, leaks or cracking
- The address or postcode of the job
Call for a quick quote, or email us if that is easier. Describe what needs sealing and we’ll explain what’s involved and send you a clear quote.
Why it’s worth doing now in Crombie
Tired sealant isn’t a reason to replace a bath or shower. Replacing the joint is generally all it takes. If something else is wrong, we will tell you. When the nearest tradesperson is a drive away, it’s tempting to leave a small leak, but water behind a failed seal does the most damage when nobody’s watching.
Some things make a job bigger or smaller: the old material and how easily it comes out, whether mould needs treating, and whether we need extra access for height. We take all of that into account in your quote.
Why us?
- Anti-fungal sanitary silicone in wet areas
- You choose the colour before work begins
- Homes, businesses and hotels
- Tidy, careful work

Can I do it myself?
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. Silicone doesn’t stick to old silicone, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. All the old material has to come out first.
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, 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.
Crombie homes and their sealant
Crombie is within about 1 mile of the coast. Near the coast, holiday lets and guest houses can see bathrooms used by one guest after another, and sealant and grout that work that hard wear out sooner. Scottish Water supplies are generally soft, so limescale is less of a problem than in hard-water areas. But mould still grows into sealant and grout in a room that does not dry out.
If you let a flat or house near Dunfermline City station, mouldy sealant is one of the first things a new tenant notices, so it’s worth renewing between lets.
