Looking after it afterwards
Simple care keeps the joints in good condition. Our advice:
- Dry the bead with a towel now and then
- Use gentle cleaners on the silicone
- Wait for the cure time we give you
- Never pick at the silicone with a blade
Clean the silicone with care: a mild bathroom cleaner and a soft cloth is enough. Avoid scouring pads and anything sharp, and a nicked bead lets mould in sooner.
Watch for the early signs: 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.

How it works
Good joint work is mostly preparation, so that’s where we spend the time. Every joint is cleaned and dried before new material goes in. In total, it generally takes a couple of hours for a single bath or shower. Outside jobs in Kames need a dry day, because sealant will not bond to a wet joint, so an outdoor job can move if the forecast changes. Indoor work goes ahead whatever the weather.
- We start by protecting the area and stripping out the old bead.
- Next, the joint is cleaned and any mould is treated.
- We let it dry fully and fill the bath with water before sealing.
- New anti-fungal silicone goes on in a colour to suit and is tooled to a clean finish.
- We tidy up and give you the cure time, usually around 24 hours.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed
- Mention any tricky access
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive

What bathroom resealing looks like in Kames
Kames is within about 1 mile of the coast. Near the coast, holiday lets and guest houses can see bathrooms used by one guest after another, and sealant and grout that work that hard wear out sooner. Private landlords in Scotland must be registered and 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.
Whether the job is in Kames itself or nearby, the right material for each joint matters as much as a neat finish.

FAQs for Kames
Is there a guarantee on bathroom resealing in Kames?
Every job comes with our one-year guarantee, wherever it is. We are fully insured, and an ARBOMaster approved applicator.
Will you come out to Kames?
Yes, Kames is covered. We work across all of Scotland, from towns to the smallest places. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
Do you do commercial work?
Yes. Commercial and hotel work is a large part of what we do. We can talk about working times when we quote.
Which products do you use?
Each joint gets the product that suits it. Movement, water and weather all affect the choice, and we’ll explain our choice.
Can I do it myself?
You can, for simple jobs. The key is preparation: remove all the old material and work on a clean, dry joint. We can always put it right if it fails.
What does bathroom resealing cost?
We do not publish prices, because the cost depends on the job: how much there is, what’s there now, how we reach it and what it needs. You will get a clear quote before any work starts.
Is it messy?
Tidy work is part of the job. We protect what’s around the joints, and the area is left clean when we finish.
Can mouldy silicone be sorted out?
Yes, we replace the mouldy bead. Cleaning products may lighten it, but the lasting fix is new anti-fungal silicone on a clean, treated joint. Airing the room well helps stop it returning.
What the job involves on each surface
Basins & vanity units
A vanity top has a joint along the wall and sometimes at the sides. Water that gets behind can damage the unit, so the joint is sealed in one unbroken line.
Wet rooms
A wet room floor and its walls can move independently, so the internal corners need silicone rather than grout. Where grout in a corner has cracked, we can replace it with sealant.
For landlords and businesses
We also work for property managers and facilities teams. Several sites can be quoted together.
We work for landlords and agents as well as homeowners. Resealing between tenancies is a simple way to keep a property in good order before the next move-in.
Honest limits
We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what sealant cannot fix:
- Water coming from the plumbing rather than the joint
- Cracked or missing grout between tiles (that’s regrouting)
- A bath or tray that moves because it isn’t properly supported
If in doubt, send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk and we will say what we think before you book.

How we quote for bathroom resealing
Your quote is based on your job. We look at:
- Mould in or behind the old joints
- How many rooms, windows or areas are involved
- Working hours on commercial sites
- The type of sealant required
Rather than a set price list, we price the job in front of us: the amount of work, the old material and the access. The price is agreed before we begin.
Helping us quote
You do not need to know the technical terms. It helps if you can tell us:
- If it’s domestic, commercial or a hotel
- What’s wrong with the joints now
- Any access issues, like height or stairs
- A few photos by email, if you can
For a quick quote, get us on the phone, or send an email if you’d rather. Describe what needs sealing and we’ll explain what’s involved and give you a clear price.
Common problems we fix in Kames
A bath shifts a little every time it’s filled and emptied. An acrylic bath flexes under load, while a poorly supported tray can shift underfoot. Over time the joint tears or pulls away from the tile.
If you can see any of these, it’s time to have the joints looked at:
- Mouldy sealant that has gone black
- A reseal done over the top of the old bead
- Water getting behind the kitchen upstand
- Sealant that has split, shrunk or peeled away
Around Kames, as everywhere, bathroom resealing is only as good as the preparation behind it.
