About our bathroom resealing in Kelso
Sealant that’s mouldy, cracked or peeling shouldn’t be left until there’s a leak. A photo of the joints helps when you email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk, and we’ll give you a clear quote before any work starts. We work on wet rooms, sinks & splashbacks and baths, and common reasons people get in touch are sealant that has split, shrunk or peeled away and water getting behind the kitchen upstand.
Bathrooms in smaller places like Kelso work just as hard as those in the cities. Limescale is less of a problem with Scotland’s generally soft water, but mould still takes hold in damp sealant and grout.
Our work is backed for twelve months.

What bathroom resealing looks like in Kelso
Private landlords in Scotland must be registered and meet the Repairing Standard, which includes keeping fixtures and fittings in reasonable repair. Failed sealant around a bath or shower is worth sorting between tenancies. Kelso has hotels and guest accommodation nearby. Hotel bathrooms are part of our work as well as homes, and can be done room by room.
Around Kelso, as everywhere, bathroom resealing is only as good as the preparation behind it. For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Kelso High School, we reseal washrooms and kitchens in schools and businesses as well as homes.

What happens on the day
Once we are on site, we check the joints match what you told us. If anything is different, we explain it before carrying on. Most jobs then take a couple of hours for a single bath or shower. For a place like Kelso, longer drives are planned in advance. Mention tracks, gates, ferries or anything else about the route.
- Protection goes down around the bath, shower or worktop.
- We cut away the old sealant and clean off what’s left.
- We treat any mould and let the joint dry properly.
- 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
- Mention any parking rules near the property
- Mention any tricky access
- Keep children and pets away from the work area

Related advice
Keeping the joints in good condition
After the cure time, these simple habits help:
- Wait for the cure time we give you
- Use gentle cleaners on the silicone
- Keep bottles off the sealant line
- Keep an eye on the corners, where splits start
Keep bottles and razors off the sealant line, because they trap water against the silicone. A quick squeegee after showering helps the joint dry.
Small signs come before a leak: lifting ends, gaps, dark shadows under the bead or a stain downstairs. If you spot one, it’s time to reseal.
Surface by surface
Wet rooms
Not every wet room leak is a sealant problem. We check the joints and say so if the fault looks to be elsewhere.
Sinks & splashbacks
Next to the sink, the sealant has to cope with constant water, including a food-safe sealant where that’s needed. The bead is finished smooth so it wipes clean.
Your questions about bathroom resealing in Kelso
Is Kelso in your area for bathroom resealing?
Yes, Kelso is within the area we cover. Our work covers the whole of Scotland. You can email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk and tell us what needs doing, and we will give you a clear price.
Is Kelso within the area you cover?
Yes, Kelso is covered. Our work covers the whole of Scotland, and smaller places are part of that. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
Can you get rid of the black mould in my sealant?
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. Good ventilation helps keep it away.
Can I choose the colour of the sealant?
White and clear are the most common choices, but other colours can be used to suit tiles and worktops. Let us know your preference when you ask for a quote.
Does the resealing come with a guarantee?
Yes. Our one-year guarantee covers every job, and we’re ARBOMaster approved applicators.
Do the sealants smell?
Possibly a little. Any smell clears as the sealant cures.
How much does bathroom resealing cost in Kelso?
We don’t publish prices, because the cost depends on the job: its size, the old material, access and the product needed. You will get a clear quote before we start.
Are you ARBOMaster approved?
Yes. We hold ARBOMaster approved applicator status and we are fully insured too.
Why it’s worth doing now in Kelso
Fresh sealant smartens a bathroom or kitchen with very little disruption, which matters if you’re letting a property or selling it. A smeared, uneven DIY bead does the opposite, and it’s harder to put right later. When the nearest tradesperson is a drive away, it’s tempting to leave a small leak, but water through a failed joint keeps working away until it’s fixed.
We do not show prices on the website, because each job is priced on what it involves. Call for a quick quote and we will talk you through it.

Quotes for bathroom resealing in Kelso
Jobs vary more than people expect. What affects the quote:
- Whether old sealant or filler has to be cut out
- The type of sealant required
- Any working-time requirements on site
- The number and length of the joints
A few things move the cost up or down: how much old sealant there is and how stubborn it is, any mould to treat, and whether we need extra access for height. We take all of that into account in your quote.
What we need to know
Photos by email are helpful but not essential. Please mention:
- If it’s domestic, commercial or a hotel
- What the problem is, such as mould, gaps, leaks or cracking
- Any access issues, like height or stairs
- The rough size of the job
If you are in Kelso and need bathroom resealing, email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk. A short description of the job and where it is helps us quote, and you’ll get a clear quote before any work starts.
Can I do it myself?
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that is fine. We cut it out and start again.
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions, then guaranteed for a year.
When something else is needed
Some problems need a builder, plumber or other trade rather than us:
- Loose or hollow tiles, or failed tanking behind them
- Leaks from a shower valve, waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
- A bath or tray that moves because it isn’t properly supported
If you’re not sure, just email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk and we’ll give you a straight answer.
