About our bathroom resealing in Greenigoe
Mr Mastic has more than 20 years’ experience of sealant work, and our applicators reseal bathrooms and kitchens across Greenigoe. We are ARBOMaster approved and fully insured, and the work comes with a 12-month guarantee. Typical jobs include a bead that has pulled away from the tiles and leaking joints on a shower screen, on basins & vanity units, baths and sinks & splashbacks.
Being further from a city does not change the work: 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.
Our work is backed for twelve months.

The process
All our tools and materials come with us in the van. Once we have agreed what’s being done, we protect the area and start. It normally takes around two hours for one bath or shower, longer for a whole bathroom. Outside jobs in Greenigoe need a dry day, because sealant won’t bond to a wet joint, so external jobs may need to move if the day turns wet. Indoor work goes ahead whatever the weather.
- We cover the area around the joints we are working on.
- We cut away the old sealant and clean off what’s left.
- We treat any mould and let the joint dry properly.
- Any bath is filled with water, then we lay a bead of anti-fungal silicone in white, clear or a matching colour.
- The joint is finished neatly and we explain when it can get wet.
Before we arrive
- For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can
- For business premises, tell us about site rules or sign-in
- Let us know about parking restrictions

Advice
Bathroom resealing around Greenigoe
Greenigoe is close to the coast. Coastal homes, holiday lets and guest houses can see heavy bathroom use in busy months, and sealant and grout that work that hard wear out sooner. 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 doesn’t dry out.
Whether the job is in Greenigoe itself or nearby, the right material for each joint matters as much as a neat finish.

FAQs for Greenigoe
Do you cover smaller places like Greenigoe?
Yes, we do. We work across all of Scotland, islands included, and smaller places are part of that. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
Can you do bathroom resealing in Greenigoe?
Yes. We work across all of Scotland, and Greenigoe is part of that. Just drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk with a few details of the job, and we’ll send you a clear quote.
Can tenants book the work?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just make sure your landlord agrees.
Can you just seal over the old silicone?
No, never. A bead laid over old silicone soon starts to come away. Every trace of the old bead is removed first.
Can you do several jobs on one visit?
Yes. Tell us about everything you’d like done and you will get one quote.
What does bathroom resealing cost?
It depends on the job, so we quote each one individually. To get one, drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk and tell us what needs doing and where.
What sealant do you use?
It depends on the joint: anti-fungal sanitary silicone in wet areas, and other sealants where joints move or face the weather. Brands we use include Arbo and Everbuild.
Are you insured?
Yes. Mr Mastic is fully insured, with over 20 years’ experience in sealant work.
What the job involves on each surface
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.
Kitchen worktops & upstands
Upstands and back edges are cut out, cleaned of grease and resealed, because cooking grease stops sealant bonding. Proper degreasing is what helps the new joint last.
DIY versus a professional finish
If you’re set on DIY, put the effort into preparation: remove every trace of old sealant, clean and dry the joint, and follow the product’s cure time. If it does not work out, we can still put it right.
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. Silicone does not stick to old silicone, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. All the old material has to come out first.

Why it’s worth doing now in Greenigoe
Dealing with sealant early is a short job: the work takes around two hours for one bath or shower, longer for a whole bathroom. Wait for a leak and you may be looking at panels off, drying out and redecorating too. In an older home around Greenigoe, damp from a failed joint can get into timber and plaster, which is a far bigger job than the sealant.
Every job is a little different, so each one gets its own quote. The number of joints, how easy they are to reach and the sealant needed all make a difference.

Looking after it afterwards
Looking after new joints is easy:
- Don’t leave water standing on kitchen joints
- Run the extractor fan during and after every shower
- Give the silicone its full cure time
- Keep an eye on the corners, where splits start
Mould needs damp, so keep the room aired. Run the extractor fan during and after a shower, so the silicone gets a chance to dry.
Watch for the early signs: lifting ends, gaps, dark shadows under the bead or a stain downstairs. Any of these means the joint needs attention.
When to call us in Greenigoe
A bath shifts a little every time it’s filled and emptied. An acrylic bath flexes under load, and a tray that isn’t fully bedded can rock. That movement works at the bead until it splits or peels away.
These are the problems we are asked about most:
- Damp behind the bath or under the tray
- A bead that has pulled away from the tiles
- Gaps where the bath or tray has moved
- Water getting behind the kitchen upstand
Around Greenigoe, as everywhere, bathroom resealing is only as good as the preparation behind it.
