Bathroom resealing in Hallowood
A fresh bead of silicone changes how a bathroom looks more than most people expect. Black, patchy sealant makes clean tiles look tired, and a clean white or clear joint fixes it quickly. It also seals the gaps that let water behind the bath. If you are dealing with a bead that has pulled away from the tiles and new sealant laid over old sealant that is now lifting, we can help.
Bathrooms in smaller places like Hallowood work just as hard as those in the cities. Limescale is less of a problem with Scotland’s generally soft water, but mould still takes hold in damp sealant and grout.

Looking after it afterwards
Once the sealant has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Wait for the cure time we give you
- Check the joints every few months for splits or lifting
- Clean with a mild bathroom cleaner and a soft cloth
- Never pick at the silicone with a blade
Give the silicone time to cure before it gets wet, following the cure time we give you. After that, a quick wipe after showering helps keep it clean.
Small signs come before a leak: a corner lifting, a gap behind the bead, a dark line under the silicone or a damp patch on the ceiling below. If you spot one, it’s time to reseal.
Bathroom resealing around Hallowood
Scotland’s water is generally soft, so sealant and grout see less limescale than in much of England. 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 covers keeping fixtures and fittings in a reasonable state of repair. Failed sealant around a bath or shower is worth sorting between tenancies.
If you look after a building such as Elgin High School, washroom and kitchen sealant there needs the same care as at home, and schools and businesses are part of our work as well as homes. If you let a flat or house near Elgin station, fresh sealant around the bath, shower and sink between tenancies helps a property present well and keeps leaks at bay. Homes close to St Andrews-Lhanbryd Parish Church include some older properties, and timber floors under older bathrooms flex, so joints need a sealant that moves with them.

DIY sealant or a professional job?
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.
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that’s fine. We remove it and do the joint properly.
When it isn’t the sealant
Some problems need a builder, plumber or other trade rather than us:
- Water coming from the plumbing rather than the joint
- A cracked shower tray or bath (that needs repair or replacement)
- A bath or tray that moves because it is not properly supported
Not sure which it is? You can drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk and we’ll tell you honestly.

How the job changes by surface
Baths
The long joint down the side of a bath is where most leaks start, particularly where there’s a shower over the bath. We finish it with a single, even bead of anti-fungal silicone.
Shower trays & enclosures
There are normally two jobs in a shower: the tray-to-wall joint and the enclosure joints. Both get soaked every time the shower runs, so each is cut out and renewed with anti-fungal sanitary silicone.
Why it’s worth doing now in Hallowood
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, turning a small job into a building repair. In a place like Hallowood, small leaks are easy to put off, but water behind a failed seal does the most damage when nobody’s watching.
The cost reflects the work involved, not a rough estimate. That is why we ask about the job first.
