The process
On the day, we start by going over the job with you. Surfaces next to the work are protected before any work begins. The work normally takes a couple of hours for a single bath or shower. For a place like Garrowhill, longer drives are planned in advance. Tell us about tracks, gates, a ferry crossing or anything unusual about getting there.
- First the area is protected and every bit of old sealant removed.
- The joint is cleaned, degreased and treated for mould.
- We let it dry fully and fill the bath with water before sealing.
- New anti-fungal silicone goes on in a colour to suit and is tooled to a clean finish.
- We clear away and tell you when it can get wet, generally after around 24 hours.
How to prepare
- Mention any sign-in or site rules at work premises
- For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can
- Let us know if you’ve seen damp or leaks

How we handle bathroom resealing in Garrowhill
A shower joint gets soaked every day. Tray edges, screen profiles and wet room joints all rely on silicone to stay watertight. Each gets a bead of anti-fungal sanitary silicone, finished smooth so water drains away rather than collecting. Typical jobs include splits where the tray meets the wall and black spots spreading through the bead, across sinks & splashbacks, wet rooms and shower trays & enclosures.
For a place like Garrowhill, the job is the same as anywhere: old material out, joints cleaned and dried, and a fresh, even finish. The journey and access are simply planned in advance.
All of our work is guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you are.

Bathroom resealing around Garrowhill
In Scotland, private landlords have to 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. 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.
In the older streets around St John's Church, older homes can move a little, which is hard on rigid grout and tired sealant. If you let a flat or house near Garrowhill station, mouldy sealant is one of the first things a new tenant notices, so it’s worth renewing between lets.

DIY sealant or a professional job?
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. New silicone will not bond to old, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. Everything old must be removed first.
A DIY attempt does not rule out a professional job. We remove it and do the joint properly, so just mention it when you contact us.
Questions from Garrowhill
Do you cover Garrowhill for bathroom resealing?
Yes, Garrowhill is within the area we cover. We work across all of Scotland. Just drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk with a few details of the job.
I let a flat near Garrowhill station. Can you help?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for, and several properties can go on one quote. You can send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk with the details for a clear quote.
Will the old sealant be removed?
Yes. All of the old material is cut out and the joint cleaned.
Do you work for hotels and businesses?
Yes, regularly. We can plan bigger jobs in stages.
What do you put in the joint?
Products from Arbo and Everbuild, among others, chosen to suit the joint. We’ll tell you what we are using and why.
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 we reseal in a colour to suit.
Do I have to be there?
Access is agreed with you when the job is booked. Indoors, that usually means someone at home.
Can you get rid of the black mould in my sealant?
Yes, by replacing the sealant. Cleaning products may lighten it, but the lasting fix is new anti-fungal silicone on a clean, treated joint. Airing the room well helps stop it returning.

Common problems we fix in Garrowhill
Silicone doesn’t last for ever. Daily water, heat and cleaning products take their toll over the years, and how long it lasts comes down to use, cleaning and ventilation.
The problems people normally mention when they call are:
- Leaks into the floor or ceiling below
- Water getting behind the kitchen upstand
- New sealant laid over old sealant that is now lifting
- Sealant that has split, shrunk or peeled away
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Bannerman High School, washroom and kitchen sealant there needs the same care as at home, and schools and businesses are part of our work as well as homes.
Comparing quotes
- When the joint can take water or movement
- How the colour is chosen
- Whether all the old sealant comes out first
- Who does the work, and how experienced they are
When something else is needed
In fairness, some problems need a different trade:
- Loose or hollow tiles, or failed tanking behind them
- Cracked or missing grout between tiles (that is regrouting)
- A tray that rocks until it’s re-bedded
If in doubt, drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk and we’ll say what we think.

For landlords and businesses
We work for landlords and letting agents as well as homeowners. Sealant work between tenants keeps a property looking cared for.
Businesses can book us for washrooms, kitchens, offices and more. On commercial sites, working times can be discussed when we quote.
Keeping the joints in good condition
No joint lasts for ever, but care makes a real difference. A few tips:
- Avoid abrasive pads on the sealant
- Keep the fan on for a while after bathing
- Keep bottles off the sealant line
- Wipe up water along the back of the worktop
Good ventilation does more than any cleaner. Run the extractor fan during and after a shower, so the bead dries out between uses.
A failed kitchen joint is easy to miss. Splashes run behind the back edge and soak into the worktop, where it can make the board swell. A reseal in time can save the worktop.
