Specialist bathroom resealing for Kelty: the right sealant, proper preparation and a neat finish. Ask us for a quick quote.
- Water getting behind the kitchen upstand
- Smears of silicone across the tiles
- Leaking joints on a shower screen
Looking after it afterwards
Once the sealant has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Look for lifting corners and small gaps now and then
- Wipe the sealant dry after showering
- Keep scourers and sharp tools away from the bead
- Give the silicone its full cure time
Give the silicone time to cure before it gets wet, following the cure time we give you. After that, a quick wipe after showering helps keep it clean.
A split bead lets water through every time the bath or shower is used. Over time that water reaches floors, walls and ceilings. Resealing early stops it.
About our bathroom resealing in Kelty

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. Somewhere like Kelty 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.
- We look at every joint first and check for movement or leaks.
- Every trace of the old bead is removed, including the thin smear on the tiles.
- Joints are degreased and any mould is treated.
- When the joint is dry, and a bath has been filled with water, the new silicone goes on.
- We tool the bead to a neat finish and give you the cure time, normally around 24 hours.
How to prepare
- Let us know if you’ve seen damp or leaks
- Mention any tricky access
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before

Related advice
Why deal with it now?
Bleach and mould sprays may lighten black marks for a while, but mould that has grown into the sealant tends to return. The lasting answer is to remove the bead and start again. In a place like Kelty, small leaks are easy to put off, but water through a failed joint keeps working away until it’s fixed.
What you pay reflects the work, not guesswork. That’s why we ask about the job first and agree the price before starting.
Why us?
- You choose the colour before work begins
- Sanitary silicone with an anti-fungal additive in wet areas

How the job changes by surface
Baths
The long joint down the side of a bath is where most leaks start, especially under a shower. We finish it with a single, even bead of anti-fungal silicone.
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.
What bathroom resealing looks like in Kelty
In Scotland, private landlords have to 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. Scottish Water supplies are generally soft, so limescale is less of a problem than in hard-water areas. But mould still grows into sealant and grout in a room that does not dry out.
Homes close to Parish Church include some older properties, and bathrooms in older houses have often been refitted more than once, with sealant laid over sealant. For landlords with property near Cowdenbeath station, a reseal between tenants is a quick way to make the bathroom and kitchen look cared for. For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Beath High School, washroom and kitchen sealant there needs the same care as at home, and schools and businesses are part of our work as well as homes.

Kelty: your questions answered
Is Kelty in your area for bathroom resealing?
Yes. We work across all of Scotland, and Kelty is part of that. Just drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk with a few details of the job.
Do you cover smaller places like Kelty?
Yes, Kelty is covered. We work across all of Scotland, from towns to the smallest places. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
What do you need from me for a quote?
Only a few details: where it is, what you’ve noticed and how we reach it. After that, simply drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
What do you put in the joint?
We choose the sealant for the joint, not the other way round. Movement, water and weather all affect the choice, and we will tell you what we are using.
Can you quote for more than one area?
Yes. More than one area can go on one quote.
Can you reseal around my kitchen sink and worktop?
Yes. The old sealant is cut out and the joint degreased, because cooking grease stops silicone sticking, then a colour-matched bead is laid.
Will there be a smell?
It depends on the product. Some smell for a while, some hardly at all, and any smell fades as they cure.
What we cannot put right
We won’t take on work that won’t last, so here’s what sealant cannot put right:
- Leaks from a shower valve, waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
- A cracked shower tray or bath (that needs repair or replacement)
- Failed grout lines across the wall
Not sure which it is? You can send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk and we will tell you honestly before booking.
What we seal
- Basins & vanity units

What affects the cost of bathroom resealing
There’s no set price list, because no two jobs are the same. What we look at:
- Mould in or behind the old joints
- Whether the work is at height

- The size of the job
A few things move the cost up or down: the old material and how easily it comes out, any mould to treat, and whether we need extra access for height. We take all of that into account in your quote.

- The problem you’ve noticed

DIY sealant or a professional job?
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. Silicone does not stick to old silicone, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. All the old material has to come out first.
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions.
