Bathroom resealing in Kames
The secret of a lasting bead is the preparation. Every bit of old silicone comes out, down to the thin film left on the tiles, then the joint is cleaned, degreased and treated for mould. Only once it’s dry does the new bead go on. If you have splits where the tray meets the wall and sealant that has split, shrunk or peeled away, we can help, on kitchen worktops & upstands, baths and basins & vanity units alike.
Being further from a city doesn’t change the work: old material out, joints cleaned and dried, and a fresh, even finish. The journey and access are simply planned in advance.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are not left on your own once the job is done.

What happens if it’s left?
Dealing with sealant early is a short job: it takes around two hours for one bath or shower, longer for a whole bathroom. Wait for a leak and you may be looking at panels off, drying out and redecorating too. In a place like Kames, small leaks are easy to put off, but water behind a failed seal does the most damage when nobody’s watching.
Every job is a little different, so we quote each one individually. Size, access and the product the joint needs all make a difference.
Why Kames clients choose us
- Old sealant always removed completely
- Homes, businesses and hotels
- A choice of colours where the product allows
- Anti-fungal silicone where joints get wet
Read what affects the cost and what customers say.
Should I try it myself first?
Some jobs are best left to a professional: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is, then guaranteed for a year.
What we cannot put right
It helps to know what we cannot do:
- Loose or hollow tiles, or failed tanking behind them
- Leaks from a shower valve, waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
- A tray or bath that’s cracked through
If in doubt, drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk and we will say what we think before booking.

Common questions in Kames
Can you do bathroom resealing in Kames?
Yes, Kames is within the area we cover. We work across all of Scotland. Just drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk with a few details of the job.
Is Kames within the area you cover?
Yes. Kames is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. We work across all of Scotland. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Can I do it myself?
For a simple, easy-to-reach joint, a careful DIYer can do a reasonable job. The usual mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using too much.
How long before the new sealant can get wet?
We give you the cure time before we leave, and it’s usually around 24 hours. Using it sooner can damage the bead.
Can tenants book the work?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just make sure your landlord agrees.
What does bathroom resealing cost?
It depends on the job, so we quote each one individually. For a quick quote, send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk and tell us what needs doing and where.
Is it OK to put new sealant on top of the old bead?
No. New silicone will not bond to old silicone, so it peels away and hides mould and water. We always take the old sealant out completely.
Can I choose the colour of the sealant?
We can use white, clear or a colour to suit. On a worktop we colour-match where the joint shows.
What bathroom resealing looks like in Kames
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. 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.
If you live in an older home near Muirkirk Old Church, older homes can move a little, which is hard on rigid grout and tired sealant. Around Kames, as everywhere, bathroom resealing is only as good as the preparation behind it.

What the job involves on each surface
Kitchen worktops & upstands
Laminate worktops swell if water gets into the core. A continuous bead along the back keeps water out, as long as the worktop itself is firmly fixed.
Basins & vanity units
On a basin, neatness shows: so we keep the line tidy and even, in white, clear or a colour to suit.
The process
The work is kept neat and contained to the area we are working on, so you can get on with your day. Expect the work to take two to three hours for a typical bath, depending on how much old sealant there is, and we tell you how long to leave it before we go. For a place like Kames, longer drives are planned in advance. Tell us about tracks, gates, a ferry crossing or anything unusual about getting there.
- We cover the area around the joints we are working on.
- 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.
- We finish the joint, clear up and tell you how long to leave it before it gets wet.
Preparing for the visit
