About our bathroom resealing in Gartmore
Before a bath is sealed, it’s filled with water. The weight settles the bath to its lowest point, so the new joint isn’t pulled apart the first time it’s used. It’s a small step that rushed reseals tend to skip. If you are dealing with smears of silicone across the tiles and shrunken sealant along the back of a worktop, we can put it right, whatever the surface.
For a place like Gartmore, the job is the same as anywhere: old material out, joints cleaned and dried, and a fresh, even finish. We just plan the journey and access beforehand.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something is not right with it in that time, tell us and we’ll put it right.

When to call us in Gartmore
Mould is the reason many people want their sealant replaced. Steamy rooms that do not dry out give mould all the damp it needs, and mould that has grown into the silicone generally won’t clean off.
People usually contact us when they notice something like this:
- Lumpy, uneven sealant from a DIY attempt
- Black mould in the silicone that won’t clean off
- Gaps between the worktop and the wall
- Cracked, shrunken or lifting silicone
Around Gartmore, as everywhere, bathroom resealing is only as good as the preparation behind it.

Bathroom resealing around Gartmore
Private landlords in Scotland must be registered and meet the Repairing Standard, which includes keeping fixtures and fittings in reasonable repair. Tired, leaking sealant is worth putting right before a new tenant moves in. Scottish Water supplies are generally soft, so limescale is less of a problem than in hard-water areas. But mould still grows into sealant and grout in a room that does not dry out.
In the older streets around Gartmore Parish Church, timber floors under older bathrooms flex, so joints need a sealant that moves with them.

How the visit works
On the day, there’s very little for you to do. Point us to the joints and we’ll get on with it. The work itself takes half a day or less for one room, longer when the kitchen is included from start to finish. Outdoor work around Gartmore depends on the weather, as sealant needs a dry surface, so an outdoor job can move if the forecast changes. Indoor work goes ahead whatever the weather.
- First the area is protected and every bit of old sealant removed.
- We clean and degrease the joint and treat any mould.
- The joint is left to dry, and baths are filled with water first.
- A single bead of anti-fungal sanitary silicone is applied and tooled smooth.
- We clear away and tell you when it can get wet, usually after around 24 hours.
How to prepare
- Tell us about any previous sealing or DIY attempts
- Mention any sign-in or site rules at work premises
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit

Related advice
What happens if it’s left?
Tired sealant is not a reason to replace a bath or shower. Replacing the joint is normally all it takes, as long as the fittings themselves are sound. If we find a deeper problem, you will hear it from us. In an older home around Gartmore, damp from a failed joint can get into timber and plaster.
What you pay reflects the work, not guesswork. That is why we ask a few questions first.

DIY versus a professional finish
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, 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.
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. New silicone will not bond to old, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. Everything old must be removed first.
When it isn’t the sealant
Some problems need a builder, plumber or other trade rather than us:
- A tray or bath that’s cracked through
- Cracked or missing grout between tiles (that is regrouting)
- Damage behind the tiles that needs a tiler
If you’re not sure, just drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk and we will give you a straight answer.

Different surfaces, different methods
Shower trays & enclosures
A tray that rocks will split any sealant. We check for movement before we reseal, and if the tray needs refixing, we’ll say so.
Baths
Most bath leaks begin along the long edge, especially under a shower. It gets one smooth bead of anti-fungal silicone.
