Hawick Bathroom Resealing
Problem with your baths, showers and worktops in Hawick? We remove the old material, prepare the joints and seal them properly.
- Damp behind the bath or under the tray
- Water getting behind the kitchen upstand
- New sealant laid over old sealant that is now lifting
How we handle bathroom resealing in Hawick
It is not only bathrooms. The joint between worktop and wall, the edge of the sink and the bottom of the splashback get wet every single day, and water that gets into the back edge of a worktop can swell the board. Kitchen joints get a sealant suited to kitchens, colour-matched where it shows. Typical jobs include new sealant laid over old sealant that is now lifting and gaps between the worktop and the wall, across basins & vanity units, sinks & splashbacks and baths.
In a town like Hawick, stone-built older streets normally sit alongside harled houses and newer estates. Whatever the age of the house, sealant and grout wear out in the end.
Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee.

Common problems we fix in Hawick
The wrong product fails fast. Acrylic caulk and general-purpose sealants are not designed for a joint that’s wet every day, so they crack, discolour or grow mould quickly. A bathroom joint needs anti-fungal sanitary silicone.
It’s worth asking for a quote if you see:
- A messy, uneven bead from a previous reseal
- A bead that has pulled away from the tiles
- Leaks into the floor or ceiling below
- Shrunken sealant along the back of a worktop
Managing a site like Hawick High School? Then its toilets, changing areas and kitchens need their sealant renewed like any other building’s.

Bathrooms and kitchens in Hawick
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 covers keeping fixtures and fittings in a reasonable state of repair. Failed sealant around a bath or shower is worth sorting between tenancies.
In and around Hawick, as anywhere, good bathroom resealing starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint.

Your questions about bathroom resealing in Hawick
What’s the best way to get a price for bathroom resealing in Hawick?
The easiest way is to drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk with a few details of the job. You will get a clear, fixed price before any work starts.
Do you cover Hawick for bathroom resealing?
Yes, Hawick is within the area we cover. Our work covers the whole of Scotland. Just drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk with a few details of the job.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. Full insurance covers our work.
Can I do it myself?
That depends on the joint. High-level, external movement and fire-rated joints are professional jobs.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. As well as homeowners, we work for landlords, agents, businesses and hotels across the Scottish Borders.
Where do you work from?
Mr Mastic is based in Crawley. We cover Hawick and the rest of the Scottish Borders.
Do you work for hotels and businesses?
Yes. We work in offices, washrooms, hotels and other commercial premises, as well as homes. We can talk about working times when we quote.
Can new silicone go straight over the old?
No, and it’s one of the main reasons reseals fail. The old joint is stripped, cleaned and resealed from scratch.
What happens on the day
On the day, we look over the joints with you first, so you know exactly what we are doing. Surfaces next to the work are protected before any work starts. The work usually takes a couple of hours for one bath or shower, or most of a day for a full bathroom and kitchen. A visit in Hawick needs three things planned: access, parking and where the work is. Outdoor jobs need a dry day, so they can move if the weather turns.
- 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.
- 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, normally around 24 hours.
Getting ready for the visit
- Keep children and pets away from the work area
- Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints
- Mention any sign-in or site rules at work premises

Advice
Quotes for bathroom resealing in Hawick
The quote reflects the job in front of us. We look at:
- Any working-time requirements on site
- The number of rooms or windows
- The old material and how stubborn it is
- The product the joint needs
Some things make a job bigger or smaller: how much old sealant there is and how stubborn it is, whether mould needs treating, and whether we need extra access for height. Your quote takes all of that into account.
What to tell us for a quote
To help us quote quickly, let us know:
- Access, such as stairs, a lift or height
- Where the property is
- What’s wrong with the joints now
- Roughly how big the job is
Quotes start with a quick conversation. Describe the problem, the location and the size of the job, and we will explain how we’d tackle it. Whenever you’re ready, email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk.
Work for landlords, hotels and businesses
We work for letting agents and landlords as well as homeowners. Resealing between tenancies keeps a property looking cared for.
We also work for businesses, from offices to washrooms and kitchens. On commercial sites, working times can be discussed when we quote.
DIY versus a professional finish
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and doesn’t move well, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that’s fine. We cut it out and start again, so tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
What the job involves on each surface
Basins & vanity units
Basin joints are short and close to eye level: the bead is right in front of you, so it’s tooled cleanly and evenly, finished in a colour that suits the basin.
Kitchen worktops & upstands
Kitchen joints need more degreasing than bathroom ones, since cooking leaves a film that stops silicone sticking. Proper degreasing is what helps the new joint last.
How to look after the new joints
How long the joints last depends on use and care. We suggest:
- Avoid abrasive pads on the sealant
- Wait for the cure time we give you
- Keep an eye on the corners, where splits start
- Move toiletries away from the joint
Keep water off the new bead until it has cured, which is normally around 24 hours. After that, a quick wipe after showering helps keep it clean.
There’s no need to wait for a full refurbishment. Sealant is a maintenance item, like the paint on a window frame, and replacing it when it fails protects the rest of the room.
