About our bathroom resealing in Drumoak
We fill the bath before sealing it. A full bath sits slightly lower than an empty one, so the new joint isn’t pulled apart the first time it’s used. It’s a small step that rushed reseals tend to skip. If you are dealing with lumpy, uneven sealant from a DIY attempt and water escaping at the shower enclosure, we can help.
In and around a place like Drumoak, 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.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

FAQs for Drumoak
Is Drumoak in your area for bathroom resealing?
Yes. Our work covers the whole of Scotland, and Drumoak is part of that. You can email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk and tell us what needs doing.
What guarantee comes with bathroom resealing in Drumoak?
All our work, in Drumoak and everywhere else, comes with a 12-month guarantee. We’re also fully insured and ARBOMaster approved.
Will there be a smell?
It depends on the product. Some products have a noticeable smell, others very little.
Can you reseal around my kitchen sink and worktop?
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 colours of sealant can you use?
You are not limited to white: white, clear and colours to suit tiles and worktops. We will talk it through when we quote.
Will the old sealant be removed?
Yes. All of the old material is cut out and the joint cleaned before applying anything new.
Is it OK to put new sealant on top of the old bead?
No. Fresh silicone can’t stick to the old bead, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. We always take the old sealant out completely.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. Domestic, commercial and hotel work are all part of what we do, and we are fully insured.
How the visit works
At the end, we look at the finished work together. The work normally takes a morning or an afternoon for most single baths and showers, depending on the amount of work. Around Drumoak, distance and access matter more than parking. Let us know how to find you and how to reach the joints.
- We start by protecting the area and stripping out the old bead.
- We clean and degrease the joint and treat any mould.
- The joint is left to dry, and baths are filled with water first.
- We apply anti-fungal sanitary silicone in one even bead and tool it neatly.
- We clear away and tell you when it can get wet, normally after around 24 hours.
Before we arrive
- Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed
- For business premises, tell us about site rules or sign-in
- Clear the area around the work

Bathrooms and kitchens in Drumoak
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 does not dry out.
Around Drumoak, as everywhere, bathroom resealing is only as good as the preparation behind it. Homes close to Drumoak Kirk include some older properties, and older homes can move a little, which is hard on rigid grout and tired sealant.
Drumoak is about 10 miles south-west of Aberdeen, in Aberdeenshire. Across the AB31 area, we cover bathroom resealing for homes and businesses. Drumoak is one of 161 towns and villages in Aberdeenshire where we work. There’s also a page for Aberdeen, roughly 10 miles from Drumoak.

DIY sealant or a professional job?
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. New silicone will not bond to old, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. All the old material has to come out first.
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that’s fine. We cut it out and start again, so just mention it when you contact us.
What happens if it’s left?
Fresh sealant smartens a bathroom or kitchen with very little disruption, which helps when a home is being let or put on the market. A smeared, uneven DIY bead does the opposite. 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.
Instead of a standard rate, we look at what your job involves: the amount of work, the old material and the access. You’ll know the price before we begin.

Keeping the joints in good condition
No joint lasts for ever, but care makes a real difference. A few tips:
- Look for lifting corners and small gaps now and then
- Do not leave water standing on kitchen joints
- Squeegee the walls and tray after use
- Give the silicone its full cure time
Clean the silicone with care: a mild bathroom cleaner and a soft cloth is enough. Avoid scouring pads and anything sharp, and a nicked bead lets mould in sooner.
There’s no need to wait for a full refurbishment. Sealant is a maintenance item, like the paint on a window frame, and replacing it when it fails protects the rest of the room.
