Bathroom resealing for homes and businesses in Fordoun
A reseal only lasts if the joint is properly prepared. The old sealant is removed to the last smear, after which the joint is degreased and any mould treated. New silicone goes on only when the joint is fully dry. Typical jobs include sealant that has split, shrunk or peeled away and two layers of silicone, both failing, on kitchen worktops & upstands, shower trays & enclosures and sinks & splashbacks.
Across smaller places in Scotland, homes range from stone and harled cottages to newer houses. Where a building moves, cracked grout and split sealant are generally the first signs.
All of our work is guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you are.

DIY versus a professional finish
If you’re set on DIY, put the effort into 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.
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is, then guaranteed for a year.
How we quote for bathroom resealing
Call for a quick quote. The main things that affect it are:
- Whether there’s mould to deal with

- How many areas need sealing
- How much old sealant there is and how hard it is to remove
Combining jobs into one visit is usually more efficient than separate visits, so it’s worth mentioning everything you’d like done. We will send you a clear quote for the lot.

Landlord and commercial work in Fordoun
Businesses can book us for washrooms, kitchens, offices and more. For commercial premises, we can talk through working times when we quote.
If you manage several properties in or around Fordoun, jobs at different addresses can be quoted together. Just tell us the addresses and what each one needs, and pictures by email help.
Leave it or put it right?
Leaving a split or mouldy bead only stores up trouble. Water that gets behind a bath soaks into the floor, the panel and sometimes the ceiling below, turning a small job into a building repair. In a place like Fordoun, small leaks are easy to put off, but water through a failed joint keeps working away until it’s fixed.
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 happens on the day
There is not much for you to do on the day. Point us to the joints and we’ll get on with it. The work itself takes a couple of hours for a single bath or shower from start to finish. In smaller Scottish places, parking is generally 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.
- We cover the area around the joints we are working on.
- Old sealant is sliced away and the residue removed.
- Mould is treated, then the joint is left to dry thoroughly.
- Any bath is filled with water, then we lay a bead of anti-fungal silicone in white, clear or a matching colour.
- We finish the joint, clear up and tell you how long to leave it before it gets wet.
How to prepare
- Keep children and pets away from the work area
- Tell us about any water getting in
- Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints

Advice
Aftercare tips
How long the joints last depends on use and care. We suggest:
- Avoid abrasive pads on the sealant
- Dry worktop joints after washing up
- Keep bottles off the sealant line
- Clean with a mild bathroom cleaner and a soft cloth
Keep water off the new bead until it has cured, which is normally around 24 hours. Once it’s cured, wiping it down after use keeps it looking new.
Small signs come before a leak: a corner lifting, a gap behind the bead, a dark line under the silicone or a damp patch on the ceiling below. If you spot one, it’s time to reseal.
What bathroom resealing looks like in Fordoun
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. 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 Laurencekirk station? Then mouldy sealant is one of the first things a new tenant notices, so it’s worth renewing between lets. In and around Fordoun, as anywhere, good bathroom resealing starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint.

Your questions about bathroom resealing in Fordoun
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Laurencekirk station?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for. Just send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk with the address and what needs doing, and we’ll give you a clear price.
Do you cover Fordoun for bathroom resealing?
Yes, Fordoun is within the area we cover. Our work covers the whole of Scotland. You can send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk and let us know what needs doing, and we will send you a clear quote.
When can I use the bath or shower again?
After around 24 hours in most cases. We’ll tell you the cure time for the product we used.
Where do you work from?
We are based in Crawley, West Sussex, and we work across South East England, London and Scotland.
Can you just seal over the old silicone?
No. New silicone won’t bond to old silicone, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. All the old sealant comes out first.
Which products do you use?
Each joint gets the product that suits it. Where it moves, gets wet or faces the weather makes a difference, and we’ll explain our choice.
Can mouldy silicone be sorted out?
Yes. We strip the bead, treat the joint and lay new anti-fungal silicone.
How long does a bath or shower reseal take?
Allow half a day or less for one room, longer when the kitchen is included. We will confirm how long your job needs when we quote.
