The process
When we get to you, we compare the joints with what we discussed. If anything is different, we explain it before carrying on. After that, the work takes around two hours for one bath or shower, longer for a whole bathroom. Somewhere like Kelloholm may be a longer drive, and the journey is planned ahead. Tell us about tracks, gates, a ferry crossing or anything unusual about getting there.
- Protection goes down around the bath, shower or worktop.
- Old sealant is sliced away and the residue removed.
- 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.
How to prepare
- Tell us about access, such as stairs, a lift or high-level joints
- Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed
- Mention any sign-in or site rules at work premises

Bathroom resealing for homes and businesses in Kelloholm
A reseal only lasts if the joint is properly prepared. The old sealant is removed to the last smear, after which the joint is degreased and any mould treated. Only once it’s dry does the new bead go on. If you’re dealing with sealant that has split, shrunk or peeled away and a messy, uneven bead from a previous reseal, we can help, whatever the surface.
Across smaller places in Scotland, homes range from stone and harled cottages to newer houses. Where a building moves, cracked grout and split sealant are usually the first signs.
You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Kelloholm as everywhere else we work.

Why act early in Kelloholm
Fresh sealant smartens a bathroom or kitchen with very little disruption, which helps when a home is being let or put on the market. A smeared, uneven DIY bead does the opposite, and it’s harder to put right later. In a place like Kelloholm, small leaks are easy to put off, but water behind a failed seal does the most damage when nobody’s watching.
Leaving a failed joint usually makes the job bigger, not smaller. If you’re unsure, email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk and we will give you an honest view and a quote.

Looking after it afterwards
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Use gentle cleaners on the silicone
- Move toiletries away from the joint
- Run the extractor fan during and after every shower
- Avoid abrasive pads on the sealant
Don’t stand bottles along the bead, because they trap water against the silicone. A quick squeegee after showering keeps water from sitting on the joint.
Each shower pushes a little more water through a failed joint. Over time that water reaches floors, walls and ceilings. Resealing early stops it.
What we are called out for in Kelloholm
Silicone doesn’t last for ever. Daily water, heat and cleaning products take their toll over the years, and how long it lasts comes down to use, cleaning and ventilation.
Keep an eye out for these signs:
- Lumpy, uneven sealant from a DIY attempt
- Shrunken sealant along the back of a worktop
- A joint torn by a bath that flexes
- Sealant that has split, shrunk or peeled away
Around Kelloholm, as everywhere, bathroom resealing is only as good as the preparation behind it.
What to look for in a quote
- Whether you can choose the colour
- How long the guarantee is
- What happens if they find a problem under the old sealant
- What insurance they hold
Should I try it myself first?
A DIY attempt doesn’t rule out a professional job. We remove it and do the joint properly, so just mention it when you contact us.
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.

FAQs for Kelloholm
Do you work for landlords with property near Kirkconnel station?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. You can drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk with the address and a few details, and we’ll give you a fixed price before any work starts.
Is Kelloholm within the area you cover?
Yes. Kelloholm is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. Our work covers the whole of Scotland. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
Where do you work from?
We’re based in Crawley, and we cover South East England, London and all of Scotland.
Are you an approved applicator?
Yes. We are an ARBOMaster approved applicator, the approved applicator scheme for Arbo sealants.
Will there be a smell?
Possibly a little. Any smell clears as the sealant cures.
What do you put in the joint?
We choose the sealant for the joint, not the other way round. Where it moves, gets wet or faces the weather makes a difference, and we will tell you what we are using.
Do you remove the old sealant?
Yes, always, and completely. New silicone does not stick to old silicone, so the joint is cleaned back first.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. We are fully insured, and we can confirm the details when we quote.
Kelloholm homes and their sealant
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. 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.
For landlords with property near Kirkconnel station, fresh sealant around the bath, shower and sink between tenancies helps a property present well and keeps leaks at bay.

Surface by surface
Sinks & splashbacks
The edge of an inset sink is a common place for water to get under the worktop. We reseal the visible edge of the sink where it has failed.
Shower trays & enclosures
If a tray moves underfoot, new silicone won’t last. We check for movement before we reseal, and tell you if it needs re-bedding first.
