- A bead that has pulled away from the tiles
- A joint torn by a bath that flexes
- Two layers of silicone, both failing
What we do, step by step
The work is kept neat and contained to the area we are working on. The job normally takes half a day or less for one room, longer when the kitchen is included. Somewhere like Garvald may be a longer drive, and the journey is planned ahead. Tell us about tracks, gates, a ferry crossing or anything unusual about getting there.
- We look at every joint first and check for movement or leaks.
- 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.
Before we arrive
- Move anything stored near the joints
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit

How we handle bathroom resealing in Garvald
Kitchens need the same care as bathrooms. The joint between worktop and wall, the edge of the sink and the bottom of the splashback all take splashes every day, and water that gets into the back edge of a worktop can swell the board. We reseal them with a kitchen-suitable silicone, matched to the worktop where it’s on show. We work on sinks & splashbacks, basins & vanity units and baths, and the jobs we see most are water getting behind the kitchen upstand and two layers of silicone, both failing.
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 usually the first signs.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything is not right with it, email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk.

When it is not the sealant
To be straight with you, there are a few things sealant won’t fix:
- A bath or tray that moves because it is not properly supported
- Water getting in through the grout rather than the sealant
- A cracked shower tray or bath (that needs repair or replacement)
If you are not sure, just drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk and we will give you a straight answer before you book.

What else we do in Garvald
Bathroom resealing around Garvald
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. 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.
Rented homes near East Linton station change hands often, and a reseal between tenants is a quick way to make the bathroom and kitchen look cared for.

What we’re called out for in Garvald
The wrong product fails fast. Decorators’ caulk and all-purpose sealants are not made for constant wetting, so they crack, discolour or grow mould quickly. A bathroom joint needs anti-fungal sanitary silicone.
The problems people generally mention when they call include:
- New sealant laid over old sealant that is now lifting
- Water getting behind the bath panel
- Splits where the tray meets the wall
- Water getting behind the kitchen upstand
Around Garvald, as everywhere, bathroom resealing is only as good as the preparation behind it.
What your quote should include
- How long to leave it before use
- Who turns up on the day

Work for landlords, hotels and businesses
Failed sealant is one of the commonest items on a check-out report. We can quote for more than one property at once.
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Tell us the address, the job and how access works and we’ll give you a quote.
Leave it or put it right?
A failed joint gets more costly to put right the longer it’s left. Once water is behind the bath, it can reach floorboards, panels and the ceiling underneath, and that is a far bigger job than a reseal. Around Garvald, water from a failed joint in an older stone home can soak into timber and plaster, which is a far bigger job than the sealant.
We do not show prices on the website, because each job is priced on what it involves. For a quick quote, please drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk.

Surface by surface
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.
Basins & vanity units
A vanity top has a joint along the wall and sometimes at the sides. If water gets in, the cabinet underneath can swell, so a neat, continuous bead matters.
