About our bathroom resealing in Gairney Bank
A bead that has gone black, split or come away is worth sorting before it lets water through. A photo of the joints helps when you send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk, and you will get a clear quote before any work starts. Common call-outs are for a reseal done over the top of the old bead and sealant that has split, shrunk or peeled away, on shower trays & enclosures, baths and sinks & splashbacks.
For a place like Gairney Bank, the job is the same as anywhere: everything old is cut out, the joints are cleaned and dried, and new sealant or grout goes in. The journey and access are simply planned in advance.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If there’s a problem with it, please email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk.

FAQs for Gairney Bank
Is Gairney Bank within the area you cover?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. We work across all of Scotland. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
I let a flat near Lochgelly station. Can you help?
Yes. We work for letting agents and landlords as well as homeowners. Just send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk with the address and what needs doing, and we will give you a clear price.
Can you get rid of the black mould in my sealant?
Yes. The old sealant comes out, the mould is treated, and we reseal with anti-fungal sanitary silicone.
Do you do kitchens as well as bathrooms?
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 does bathroom resealing cost?
There’s no set price, as it depends on the job: how much there is, what’s there now, how we reach it and what it needs. You will get a clear quote before we start.
Do you do commercial work?
Yes, regularly. Larger jobs can be planned room by room or area by area.
Do you guarantee your resealing?
Yes. We give a 12-month guarantee on every job, and we are fully insured.
Are you insured?
Yes. We’re fully insured for domestic and commercial work.
When to call us in Gairney Bank
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.
Look out for any of the following:
- New sealant laid over old sealant that is now lifting
- Splits where the tray meets the wall
- Leaks into the floor or ceiling below
- Black mould in the silicone that will not clean off
If you look after a building such as Kinross High School, we reseal washrooms and kitchens in schools and businesses as well as homes.

Surface by surface
Basins & vanity units
Basins take less water than showers, but the joint behind them is splashed every day. Corners behind basins are where mould tends to start, and we treat it exactly as we would a bath.
Kitchen worktops & upstands
Water behind a laminate worktop can make the edge swell. A continuous bead along the back keeps water out, as long as the worktop itself is firmly fixed.
Bathroom resealing around Gairney Bank
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. 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.
For landlords with property near Lochgelly station, fresh sealant around the bath, shower and sink between tenancies helps a property present well and keeps leaks at bay.

Can I do it myself?
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.
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions, then guaranteed for a year.
Aftercare tips
After the cure time, these simple habits help:
- Check the joints every few months for splits or lifting
- Keep bottles off the sealant line
- Stick to a soft cloth and a mild cleaner
- Wipe the sealant dry after showering
In a kitchen, do not let water sit along the back of the worktop and keep hot pans away from the silicone. A dry joint lasts longer.
There’s no need to wait for a full refurbishment. Like paintwork, sealant needs renewing from time to time, and replacing it when it fails protects the rest of the room.
How the visit works
When we arrive, we look over the joints with you first. Surfaces next to the work are protected before any work begins. The work usually takes two to three hours for a typical bath, depending on how much old sealant there is. Outdoor work around Gairney Bank 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.
- 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.
- We tool the bead to a neat finish and give you the cure time, usually around 24 hours.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before
- On commercial sites, let us know about site rules
- Let us know about parking restrictions
