Greycrook questions
Is Greycrook within the area you cover?
Yes, we do. Our work covers the whole of Scotland, from towns to the smallest places. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
Is bathroom resealing in Greycrook guaranteed?
All our work, in Greycrook and everywhere else, comes with a 12-month guarantee. We’re fully insured, and an ARBOMaster approved applicator.
How long does it take to reseal a bath or shower?
It takes two to three hours for a typical bath, depending on how much old sealant there is. You will know how long to expect before we start.
Can new silicone go straight over the old?
No. New silicone will not bond to old silicone, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. We always take the old sealant out completely.
Does someone need to be in?
That depends on where the joints are. For work indoors, someone needs to let us in, and for outside work we’ll agree access with you when we book.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, regularly. We can quote for several properties at once, and between tenancies is a good time for the work.
Do you have insurance?
Yes. We’re fully insured, with over 20 years’ experience in sealant work.
Where is Mr Mastic based?
We work from Crawley. We cover Greycrook and the rest of the Scottish Borders, along with the rest of our area.
About our bathroom resealing in Greycrook
Sealant that’s mouldy, cracked or peeling shouldn’t be left until there’s a leak. A photo of the joints helps when you email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk, and you’ll get a clear quote before any work starts. If you are dealing with cracked, shrunken or lifting silicone and smears of silicone across the tiles, we can help.
Bathrooms in smaller places like Greycrook work just as hard as those in the cities. Generally soft Scottish water means less limescale, but steam still lets mould into sealant and grout.
Each job carries a 12-month guarantee, large or small.

Aftercare tips
A little care helps the new joints last. We recommend:
- Dry the bead with a towel now and then
- Keep the fan on for a while after bathing
- Don’t leave water standing on kitchen joints
- Wait for the cure time we give you
In a kitchen, do not let water sit along the back of the worktop and keep hot pans off the bead. A dry joint lasts longer.
Mould that starts as a few spots spreads through the bead. Once it’s deep in the silicone, cleaning normally won’t remove it, and nearby grout often goes the same way. Replacing the sealant early keeps the job small.
Bathrooms and kitchens in Greycrook
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 Scotland, private landlords have to 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.
For an older house near a landmark such as St Boswells Church, walls and floors in older homes can move, and sealant and grout show it first.

What happens on the day
At the end, we look at the finished work together and explain the cure time. The work normally takes a morning or an afternoon for most single baths and showers, depending on the size of the job. Somewhere like Greycrook 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.
- First, each joint is checked for movement and signs of water.
- Every trace of the old bead is removed, including the thin smear on the tiles.
- The joint is cleaned, degreased and treated for mould.
- With the joint dry, and any bath loaded with water, a single bead of anti-fungal silicone is applied.
- We tool the bead to a neat finish and give you the cure time, generally around 24 hours.

Common problems we fix in Greycrook
The wrong product fails fast. Acrylic caulk and general-purpose sealants aren’t designed for a joint that’s wet every day, so they stain, crack or go mouldy before long. Wet areas call for a sanitary silicone with an anti-fungal additive.
People generally contact us when they notice one of these:
- Leaking joints on a shower screen
- Two layers of silicone, both failing
- A bead that has pulled away from the tiles
- A messy, uneven bead from a previous reseal
Around Greycrook, as everywhere, bathroom resealing is only as good as the preparation behind it.

DIY sealant or a professional job?
If you are 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 fails, we can still redo it.
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. New silicone won’t bond to old, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. All the old material has to come out first.
Why act early in Greycrook
Running new silicone over the old joint can look tidy for a few weeks, but it can’t stick to what’s underneath. It lifts, traps water and grows mould behind it, and the next reseal means two layers to cut out. In an older home around Greycrook, damp from a failed joint can get into timber and plaster.
What it costs depends on the amount of work, how much old material has to come out and how easy the joints are to reach. We give a clear quote before any work starts.
