About our bathroom resealing in Fordell Firs
Showers work their sealant harder than baths. Trays, enclosures, screen profiles and wet room floors all need a flexible, waterproof seal. They’re resealed with anti-fungal sanitary silicone, tooled smooth so water runs off instead of sitting in a ridge. We work on wet rooms, basins & vanity units and kitchen worktops & upstands, and people most often call us about smears of silicone across the tiles and cracked, shrunken or lifting silicone.
In and around a place like Fordell Firs, 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.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something is not right with it in that time, tell us and we will put it right.

Should I try it myself first?
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions.
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
Aftercare tips
To keep the joints looking good and working properly:
- Wipe up water along the back of the worktop
- Dry the bead with a towel now and then
- Stick to a soft cloth and a mild cleaner
- Keep an eye on the corners, where splits start
Don’t stand bottles along the bead, as they hold water against it. Squeegeeing the walls and tray after use helps the joint dry.
Don’t wait for a refit to deal with failed sealant. Sealant is a maintenance item, like the paint on a window frame, and renewing it as soon as it fails protects everything around it.
When to call us in Fordell Firs
A bath shifts a little every time it’s filled and emptied. Acrylic in particular gives slightly under the weight of water and a person, while a poorly supported tray can shift underfoot. Over time the joint tears or pulls away from the tile.
Common reasons people contact us are:
- Gaps between the worktop and the wall
- Two layers of silicone, both failing
- Sealant that has split, shrunk or peeled away
- Black spots spreading through the bead
If you look after a building such as Inverkeithing High School, its toilets, changing areas and kitchens need their sealant renewed like any other building’s.

Your questions about bathroom resealing in Fordell Firs
I let a flat near Dalgety Bay station. Can you help?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for, and several properties can be quoted together. Just email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk with the address and what needs doing, and we will give you a clear quote.
Is Fordell Firs within the area you cover?
Yes, we do. We work across all of Scotland, and smaller places are part of that. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
What does bathroom resealing cost?
The cost depends on the size of the job, access and how much old sealant has to come out. Ask us for a quote.
Does the resealing come with a guarantee?
Yes. We give a 12-month guarantee on every job, and we are ARBOMaster approved applicators.
Where are you based?
Our base is in Crawley, West Sussex, and we work across South East England, London and Scotland.
Can you reseal around my kitchen sink and worktop?
Yes, often alongside a bathroom. Next to the sink we use a food-safe product where it’s needed.
How long before the new sealant can get wet?
Silicone is touch-dry quite quickly, but it takes longer to cure. Leave it around 24 hours before it gets wet, or as long as we advise for that product.
Will there be a smell?
There can be a smell while the sealant cures, but it fades. Opening a window helps.

Bathroom resealing around Fordell Firs
Fordell Firs is close to the coast. Near the coast, holiday lets and guest houses can see bathrooms used by one guest after another, which wears sealant and grout out faster than in a quiet home. 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.
Letting a property close to Dalgety Bay station? Then mouldy sealant is one of the first things a new tenant notices, so it’s worth renewing between lets.

Surface by surface
Baths
Acrylic baths flex the most, while steel and cast iron baths move less but still settle when full. Loading the bath with water before sealing allows for it.
Shower trays & enclosures
A tray that rocks will split any sealant. Movement is checked before anything is resealed, and if the tray needs refixing, we will say so.
