Common questions in Garthdee
Do you work for landlords with property near Aberdeen station?
Yes. We work for landlords and letting agents as well as householders. Just send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk with the address and what needs doing, and we’ll give you a clear quote.
Could a leaking bath seal in my Garthdee flat reach the neighbours below?
Yes, and the first sign is often a mark on the ceiling below. Cutting out the old sealant and laying a fresh bead puts a stop to it.
What sealant do you use?
We choose the sealant for the joint, not the other way round. Where it moves, gets wet or faces the weather makes a difference, and we will explain our choice.
Do you work for hotels and businesses?
Yes, regularly. Larger jobs can be planned room by room or area by area to suit the site.
Are you insured?
Yes. Mr Mastic is fully insured, and we have been doing sealant work for more than 20 years.
Is there any odour?
That depends on the sealant. Some products have a noticeable smell, others very little, and any smell fades as they cure.
Do you guarantee your resealing?
Yes. We give a 12-month guarantee on every job, and we are ARBOMaster approved applicators.
When can I use the bath or shower again?
After around 24 hours in most cases. We will tell you the cure time for the product we used.
Bathroom resealing for homes and businesses in Garthdee
A bead that has gone black, split or come away shouldn’t be left until there’s a leak. A photo of the joints helps when you send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk, and we will give you a clear price before any work starts. If you have sealant that has split, shrunk or peeled away and water getting behind the kitchen upstand, we can help, on shower trays & enclosures, sinks & splashbacks and baths alike.
Stone-built tenements are part of every Scottish city, alongside houses and newer flats. With flats above and below, a leak from a tired seal can reach the flat underneath, and that is as true in Garthdee as anywhere in the city.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything isn’t right with it, drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk.

What bathroom resealing looks like in Garthdee
Garthdee 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. Scottish Water supplies are generally soft, so limescale is less of a problem than in hard-water areas. Mould is another matter: a bathroom that stays damp still turns sealant and grout black.
Schools such as Airyhall Primary School are buildings too, and we reseal washrooms and kitchens in schools and businesses as well as homes.
Garthdee is about 2 miles south of Aberdeen, in Aberdeen. From the centre of Garthdee to the outskirts, we cover bathroom resealing for every kind of property, from flats and houses to offices and hotels. Garthdee is one of 63 places in Aberdeen where we work.

What else we do in Garthdee
Surface by surface
Basins & vanity units
Vanity units have long, worktop-style joints against the wall. Water that gets behind can damage the unit, so the joint is sealed in one unbroken line.
Sinks & splashbacks
Where a splashback meets the worktop, there’s a joint that catches every splash. It’s resealed in white, clear or a colour to suit.
DIY versus a professional finish
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, such as a straightforward joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and does not move well, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.
How we quote for bathroom resealing
We quote each job individually. This is what makes a difference:
- Mould in or behind the old joints
- When we can work, for business premises
- How many rooms, windows or areas are involved
- Which sealant suits the joint
Every job is a little different, so we quote each one individually. Size, access and the product the joint needs all play a part, and we will explain the quote if you ask.
What to tell us for a quote
You don’t need to know the technical terms. It helps if you can tell us:
- Whether it’s a home or a business
- How many joints, rooms or windows are involved
- The problem you’ve noticed
- The address or postcode of the job
For bathroom resealing in Garthdee, send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk. A short description of the job and where it is helps us quote, and we’ll agree the price before any work begins.
Leave it or put it right?
Most of the work in a good reseal happens before any silicone goes on: removing all the old sealant, degreasing the joint, treating mould and drying it properly. Without that preparation, the new bead won’t last. For landlords in Garthdee, damp and leaks can be a Repairing Standard issue, so it’s worth fixing failed sealant before a tenant reports it.
A failed joint rarely gets cheaper to fix by waiting. If you’re not sure whether it needs doing, email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk and we will give you an honest view and a quote.

Landlord and commercial work in Garthdee

From a single let to a portfolio, the work is the same standard: old sealant fully removed, joints prepared properly and a one-year guarantee.
What we’re called out for in Garthdee
With age, silicone loses its stretch. In kitchens it often shrinks away from the back edge, opening a hairline gap that lets water and crumbs in. Heat from the hob and strong sprays speed it along.
People usually contact us when they notice one of these:
- Shrunken sealant along the back of a worktop
- A joint torn by a bath that flexes
- A reseal done over the top of the old bead
- Lumpy, uneven sealant from a DIY attempt

- How the surfaces are prepared before sealing
How the visit works
There is not much for you to do on the day. Show us the job and we’ll take it from there. The job generally takes a morning or an afternoon for most single baths and showers from start to finish. In a Scottish city, a lot of jobs are in tenement flats, up a common stair from a shared close. In Garthdee, it helps to know the floor, the door entry arrangements and the nearest parking.
- First the area is protected and every bit of old sealant removed, including the film left on the tiles.
- 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.
- Finally we tidy up and explain the cure time before we leave.
How to prepare
- Let us know about parking restrictions
- For business premises, tell us about site rules or sign-in
- Mention any tricky access
