About our bathroom resealing in Fettercairn
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. We work on baths, kitchen worktops & upstands and shower trays & enclosures, and common reasons people get in touch are black spots spreading through the bead and splits where the tray meets the wall.
Across smaller places in Scotland, homes range from stone and harled cottages to newer houses. Older buildings can move a little, and that shows first in cracked grout and split sealant.
Each job carries a 12-month guarantee.

How to look after the new joints
To keep the joints looking good and working properly:
- Wipe the sealant dry after showering
- Wipe up water along the back of the worktop
- Avoid abrasive pads on the sealant
- Keep an eye on the corners, where splits start
Check the sealant now and then. Small splits and lifting ends are easy to catch early, so if something doesn’t look right, just email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk.
Worktop joints fail quietly. Splashes run behind the back edge and soak into the worktop, and the board underneath can swell. A reseal in time can save the worktop.
DIY versus a professional finish
If you do try it yourself, take your time over the preparation: take out all the old sealant, make sure the joint is clean and dry, and give it the full cure time. If it fails, we can still redo it.
Not every job suits DIY: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
What we’re called out for in Fettercairn
Silicone needs a clean, dry surface without any grease to stick to. Traces of soap, bath oil and old sealant stop it gripping, so a rushed job can start to lift early.
These are the problems we’re asked about most:
- Splits where the tray meets the wall
- Failed sealant on the screen profile
- Water getting behind the bath panel
- Black spots spreading through the bead
If you live in an older home near Fettercairn Parish Church, bathrooms in older houses have often been refitted more than once, with sealant laid over sealant.
What your quote should include
- The length of the guarantee
- Whether all the old sealant comes out first
- Whether you can choose the colour
- Which sealant they’ll use, and why

Is it worth trying it myself?

Landlord and commercial work in Fettercairn
Mouldy or split sealant often shows up at the end of a tenancy, and it’s easy to sort out between tenants. Several properties can go on one quote.
Hotels need rooms back in use, so we plan the work room by room around your bookings where we can. We have worked in hotels as well as homes and businesses.
What sealant work cannot fix
In fairness, there are a few things sealant won’t fix:
- Cracked or missing grout between tiles (that is regrouting)
- Movement from a bath with loose feet or no proper support
- A cracked shower tray or bath (that needs repair or replacement)
If in doubt, send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk and we’ll say what we think.
Joints and surfaces we work on
- Kitchen worktops & upstands
- Shower trays & enclosures
- Baths
- Sinks & splashbacks
- Basins & vanity units
- Wet rooms
Why it’s worth doing now in Fettercairn
A clean new bead makes a room look cared for, which matters if you’re letting a property or selling it. Lumpy sealant with smears on the tiles has the opposite effect, and it’s harder to put right later. Around Fettercairn, 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.
A few things move the cost up or down: how much old sealant there is and how stubborn it is, whether mould needs treating, and whether the work is at height. We take all of that into account in your quote.
What you get with us
- Arbo and Everbuild products
- Tidy, careful work
- Homes, businesses and hotels
- One-year guarantee on every job

Bathroom resealing in Fettercairn: local notes
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. Private landlords in Scotland must be registered and meet the Repairing Standard, which covers keeping fixtures and fittings in a reasonable state of repair. Failed sealant around a bath or shower is worth sorting between tenancies.

The process
On the day, there’s very little for you to do. Point us to the joints and we’ll get on with it. The work itself takes half a day or less for one room, longer when the kitchen is included, including the tidy-up. Outdoor work around Fettercairn depends on the weather, as sealant needs a dry surface, so external jobs may need to move if the day turns wet. Indoor work goes ahead whatever the weather.
- We start by protecting the area and stripping out the old bead.
- The joint is cleaned, degreased and treated for mould.
- We let it dry fully and fill the bath with water before sealing.
- We apply anti-fungal sanitary silicone in one even bead and tool it neatly.
- We tidy up and give you the cure time, generally around 24 hours.
Before we arrive
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Mention any tricky access
- Clear the area around the work
