What the job involves on each surface
Sinks & splashbacks
Water getting under the rim of an inset sink can soak the worktop. We reseal the visible edge of the sink where it has failed.
Baths
Acrylic baths give a little under load, while steel and cast iron baths move less but still settle when full. Loading the bath with water before sealing allows for it.
Bathroom resealing in Hillington, done properly
A shower joint gets soaked every day. Trays, enclosures, screen profiles and wet room floors all need a flexible, waterproof seal. Each gets a bead of anti-fungal sanitary silicone, tooled smooth so water runs off instead of sitting in a ridge. Typical jobs include a reseal done over the top of the old bead and water escaping at the shower enclosure, on baths, basins & vanity units and shower trays & enclosures.
Tenement flats are common in all four of Scotland’s big cities, alongside houses and newer flats. In a tenement, most bathrooms sit above someone else’s ceiling, so failed sealant around a bath or shower can soon become a neighbour’s problem.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you’re covered after we have gone.

Can I do it myself?
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is, and the work is guaranteed for a year.
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. Everything old must be removed first.
Why deal with it now?
You don’t need a new bathroom because the sealant looks bad. Replacing the joint is normally all it takes, as long as the fittings themselves are sound. If we find a deeper problem, you will hear it from us. Scottish rain finds any gap around a frame or wall joint, and in Hillington, damp can spread through stone and plaster before anyone sees it.
Some things make a job bigger or smaller: the old material and how easily it comes out, whether mould needs treating, and whether we need extra access for height. We take all of that into account in your quote.
What you get with us
- Anti-fungal silicone where joints get wet
- Old sealant always removed completely
- Neat joints and a tidy finish
- Quality sealants from Arbo and Everbuild

Work for landlords, hotels and businesses
Water getting past a failed joint can damage the building, which matters even more when someone else lives there. Resealing at the right time is simple maintenance.
Letting agents often deal with us directly. Tell us the address, the job and how access works and we’ll quote.
Looking after it afterwards
Good habits help new joints last longer. A few tips:
- Wipe the sealant dry after showering
- Look for lifting corners and small gaps now and then
- Do not let bottles sit on the bead
- Wait for the cure time we give you
Wipe up standing water along the worktop joint and keep hot pans off the bead. A dry joint lasts longer.
A split bead lets water through every time the bath or shower is used. Left alone, it soaks into the floor, the wall behind the tiles or the ceiling below. Early resealing closes the gap before damage is done.
What happens on the day
The work is kept neat and contained to the joints we are treating, so you can get on with your day. Expect the work to take around two hours for one bath or shower, longer for a whole bathroom. In a Scottish city, a lot of jobs are in tenement flats, up a common stair from a shared close. For a job in Hillington, tell us the floor, how the door entry system works and where we can park nearby.
- Protection goes down around the bath, shower or worktop.
- We cut away the old sealant and clean off what’s left.
- Mould is treated, then the joint is left to dry thoroughly.
- 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.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before
- Let us know about parking restrictions
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit

Advice
Hillington questions
I let a flat near Hillington East station. Can you help?
Yes. We work for letting agents and landlords as well as householders. Just send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk with the address and what needs doing, and we will give you a clear quote.
Is Hillington in your area for bathroom resealing?
Yes. Our work covers the whole of Scotland, and Hillington is part of that. You can send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk and let us know what needs doing.
When can I use the bath or shower again?
The surface skins over fairly quickly, but the bead needs longer to cure right through. Keep water off it for around 24 hours, or follow the cure time we give you.
What information do you need?
A short description and the location, plus photos if you have them. We will ask anything else we need to know.
Is white the only colour available?
Most people choose white or clear, but other colours can be used to suit tiles and worktops. Tell us what you’d like when you get in touch.
What does bathroom resealing cost?
Size, access and the old material all affect the cost. Ask us for a quote.
Does someone need to be in?
Access is agreed with you when the job is booked. Indoors, that usually means someone at home.
How long will the resealing take?
That depends on the number of joints and the state of the old sealant. Allow a couple of hours for a typical bath or shower.
What sealant work cannot fix
Some problems need a builder, plumber or other trade rather than us:
- Loose or hollow tiles, or failed tanking behind them
- Cracked or missing grout between tiles (that’s regrouting)
- A cracked shower tray or bath (that needs repair or replacement)
Not sure which it is? You can email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk and we’ll tell you honestly.
Surfaces we seal
- Kitchen worktops & upstands
- Sinks & splashbacks
- Baths
- Basins & vanity units
- Wet rooms
- Shower trays & enclosures
Hillington homes and their sealant
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. 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.
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Rosshall Academy, we reseal washrooms and kitchens in schools and businesses as well as homes. If you let a flat or house near Hillington East station, a reseal between tenants is a quick way to make the bathroom and kitchen look cared for. If you live in an older home near St Nicholas' Cardonald Church, timber floors under older bathrooms flex, so joints need a sealant that moves with them.
