About our bathroom resealing in Drakemyre

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 send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk, and we will give you a clear price for bathroom resealing in Drakemyre. If you have black mould in the silicone that won’t clean off and water getting behind the bath panel, we can put it right, whatever the surface.

In and around a place like Drakemyre, homes range from older stone-built properties to newer houses. Older buildings can move a little, and that shows first in cracked grout and split sealant.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. If there’s a problem with it, please email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk.

What affects the quote in Drakemyre

There’s no set price list. The quote depends on:

  • How much old sealant there is and how hard it is to remove
  • Any working-time requirements on site
  • Which sealant suits the joint
  • The number and length of the joints

Leaving a failed joint generally makes the job bigger, not smaller. If you are unsure, drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk and we will give you an honest view and a quote.

What to tell us for a quote

There’s no need for technical detail. Just tell us:

  • Pictures of the joints, sent by email
  • The rough size of the job
  • What the problem is, such as mould, gaps, leaks or cracking
  • Where the job is, and your postcode

If you are in Drakemyre and need bathroom resealing, drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk. Tell us what the problem is and where, and you’ll get a clear quote before we start.

DIY versus a professional finish

If you’ve already had a go yourself, that is fine. We cut it out and start again.

Not every job suits DIY: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs call for the right materials, safe access and experience.

What we do, step by step

We work through the job in order: protect, prepare, seal, tidy. For most jobs that takes two to three hours for a typical bath, depending on how much old sealant there is and we leave things clean and tidy. For a place like Drakemyre, longer drives are planned in advance. Mention tracks, gates, ferries or anything else about the route.

  1. First, each joint is checked for movement and signs of water.
  2. The old silicone is cut out completely, along with the film it leaves on the tiles.
  3. Joints are degreased and any mould is treated.
  4. When the joint is dry, and a bath has been filled with water, the new silicone goes on.
  5. We tool the bead to a neat finish and give you the cure time, normally around 24 hours.

How to prepare

  • Mention any sign-in or site rules at work premises
  • Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work
  • Move anything stored near the joints

Looking after it afterwards

Good habits help new joints last longer. A few tips:

  • Let new sealant cure fully before it gets wet
  • Avoid abrasive pads on the sealant
  • Stick to a soft cloth and a mild cleaner
  • Wipe the sealant dry after showering

Have a look at the joints every few months. Small splits and lifting ends are easy to catch early, and if anything looks wrong, just email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk.

A split bead lets water through every time the bath or shower is used. 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.

Drakemyre homes and their sealant

Scotland’s water is generally soft, so sealant and grout see less limescale than in much of England. Mould is another matter: a bathroom that stays damp still turns sealant and grout black. In Scotland, private landlords have to 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.

For an older house near a landmark such as Trinity Church, walls and floors in older homes can move, and sealant and grout show it first.

When to call us in Drakemyre

Plenty of failed sealant has been laid over the top of older sealant. New silicone will not bond to old silicone, so it peels, leaks and hides mould behind it.

Common reasons people contact us are:

  • Damp behind the bath or under the tray
  • Lumpy, uneven sealant from a DIY attempt
  • Two layers of silicone, both failing
  • Sealant that has split, shrunk or peeled away

For landlords with property near Dalry station, fresh sealant around the bath, shower and sink between tenancies helps a property present well and keeps leaks at bay.

Questions to ask before booking

  • What insurance they hold
  • What guarantee comes with the work
  • How long to leave it before use
  • How the joint is cleaned and prepared

Choosing a sealant specialist

When it isn’t the sealant

In fairness, there are a few things sealant will not fix:

  • Tiles that have come away from the wall
  • A cracked shower tray or bath (that needs repair or replacement)
  • A tray that rocks until it’s re-bedded

If you are not sure, just drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk and we’ll give you a straight answer.

What we seal

  • Kitchen worktops & upstands
  • Shower trays & enclosures
  • Wet rooms
  • Baths
  • Basins & vanity units
  • Sinks & splashbacks

What the job involves on each surface

Kitchen worktops & upstands

The joint between worktop and wall takes splashes, crumbs and cleaning sprays. We seal them in a colour that suits the worktop.

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.

Questions from Drakemyre

Do you cover Drakemyre for bathroom resealing?

Yes. We work across all of Scotland, and Drakemyre is part of that. You can email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk and tell us what needs doing.

Do you cover smaller places like Drakemyre?

Yes, we do. Our work covers the whole of Scotland, from towns to the smallest places. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.

How long does it take to reseal a bath or shower?

That depends on the number of joints and the state of the old sealant. For most single baths or showers, allow a couple of hours.

Is it messy?

No. We protect the surfaces around the joints, and we clear up the old sealant and our materials before we leave.

Do you guarantee your resealing?

Yes. We give a 12-month guarantee on every job, and we are ARBOMaster approved applicators.

Do the sealants smell?

Some sealants have a smell while they cure. Opening a window helps.

Are you an approved applicator?

Yes. We’re an ARBOMaster approved applicator, the approved applicator scheme for Arbo sealants.

Can mouldy silicone be sorted out?

Yes. Once mould has grown into the silicone, it usually can’t be cleaned out for good, so we cut it out, treat the joint and reseal with anti-fungal silicone.
