Fernhill questions
Is Fernhill within the area you cover?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. We work across all of Scotland. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
Is Fernhill in your area for bathroom resealing?
Yes, Fernhill is within the area we cover. Our work covers the whole of Scotland. Just send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk with a few details of the job, and we will send you a clear quote.
Which products do you use?
We choose the sealant for the joint, not the other way round. Movement, water and weather all affect the choice, and we will explain our choice.
Do you have insurance?
Yes. Mr Mastic is fully insured, and we’ve been doing sealant work for more than 20 years.
Do you work for letting agents?
Yes. We work for householders, landlords, letting agents, businesses and hotels across South Lanarkshire.
What information do you need?
Where the job is, what the problem is and roughly how big it is. If you can, email a few pictures.
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.
Can you reseal around my kitchen sink and worktop?
Yes. We reseal worktop upstands, sinks and splashbacks, in a kitchen-suitable sealant, matched to the worktop where it’s on show.
About our bathroom resealing in Fernhill
Across Fernhill, the joints we reseal are the ones that fail in any home: the long edge of the bath, the base of the shower tray, the back of the basin and the line along the worktop. Every joint is cut out, cleaned and left dry before it’s resealed. We work on shower trays & enclosures, sinks & splashbacks and kitchen worktops & upstands, and common reasons people get in touch are two layers of silicone, both failing and sealant that has split, shrunk or peeled away.
A bathroom in a place like Fernhill 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.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there’s a problem with our work within the year, let us know and we will sort it.

Signs you need bathroom resealing in Fernhill
Plenty of failed sealant has been laid over the top of older sealant. Fresh silicone can’t grip the old bead underneath, so it lifts, lets water in and traps mould underneath.
These are the problems we are asked about most:
- Failed sealant on the screen profile
- A reseal done over the top of the old bead
- Black mould in the silicone that won’t clean off
- A messy, uneven bead from a previous reseal
Rented homes near Burnside station change hands often, and fresh sealant around the bath, shower and sink between tenancies helps a property present well and keeps leaks at bay.
What your quote should include
- What insurance they hold
- How long to leave it before use
- Is VAT in the price?
- Whether all the old sealant comes out first

Leave it or put it right?
Mould removers can fade the surface of a stained bead, but mould that has grown into the sealant tends to return. The lasting answer is to remove the bead and start again. Around Fernhill, water from a failed joint in an older stone home can soak into timber and plaster, which is a far bigger job than the sealant.
Commercial jobs are quoted on the same basis as homes: how much there is to do, how we reach it and what it needs, along with when we can work on site. Ask us for a quote and we’ll explain what it covers.

What we do, step by step
On the day, there’s very little for you to do. Show us the job and we will take it from there. The job generally takes two to three hours for a typical bath, depending on how much old sealant there is. In smaller Scottish places, parking is normally less of an issue than access and distance. Tell us how to find the property and how to reach the work, and the visit is planned around that.
- First, each joint is checked for movement and signs of water.
- The old silicone is cut out completely, along with the film it leaves 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.
- The bead is tooled smooth and you are told the cure time, normally around 24 hours.
Getting ready for the visit
- Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work
- Let us know about parking restrictions
- Tell us about any water getting in

How the job changes by surface
Baths
Acrylic baths give a little under load, and even steel and cast iron baths settle slightly when full. Filling the bath first allows for that movement.
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, so the line doesn’t stand out.
Bathroom resealing around Fernhill
Private landlords in Scotland must be registered and meet the Repairing Standard, which includes keeping fixtures and fittings in reasonable repair. Tired, leaking sealant is worth putting right before a new tenant moves in. 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.
Managing a site like Fernhill School? Then we reseal washrooms and kitchens in schools and businesses as well as homes. For an older house near a landmark such as Stonelaw Parish Church, bathrooms in older houses have often been refitted more than once, with sealant laid over sealant.

What sealant work cannot fix
We’d rather tell you now than do work that will not last, so these are the limits:
- Leaks from a shower valve, waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
