DIY sealant or a professional job?
If you’re set on DIY, put the effort into preparation: take out all the old sealant, make sure the joint is clean and dry, and give it the full cure time. If it fails, we can still redo it.
Some jobs are best left to a professional: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
How we handle bathroom resealing in Keyhead
We fill the bath before sealing it. A full bath sits slightly lower than an empty one, so the bead isn’t stretched the first time someone gets in. It’s a small step that rushed reseals tend to skip. We are often asked to deal with leaks into the floor or ceiling below and mouldy sealant that has gone black, on wet rooms, shower trays & enclosures and sinks & splashbacks.
Across smaller places in Scotland, homes range from stone and harled cottages to newer houses. Older buildings can move a little, and that shows first in cracked grout and split sealant.
All our work comes with a 12-month guarantee, wherever you are in Aberdeenshire.

How the job changes by surface
Wet rooms
Wet rooms rely on sound joints at floor and wall junctions. They get anti-fungal sanitary silicone, working on the surface joints, not the tanking or drainage.
Basins & vanity units
Basins take less water than showers, but the joint behind them is splashed every day. Old sealant there often goes black at the corners, so it’s cut out and renewed just like a bath joint.
Landlord and commercial work in Keyhead
We also work for businesses, from offices to washrooms and kitchens. For commercial premises, we can talk through working times when we quote.
Housing providers, facilities teams and property managers book us too. We can quote a run of properties together, and we’re fully insured for the work.
Bathroom resealing in Keyhead: local notes
Keyhead is close to the coast. Coastal homes, holiday lets and guest houses can see heavy bathroom use in busy months, which wears sealant and grout out faster than in a quiet home. Private landlords in Scotland must be registered and meet the Repairing Standard, which covers keeping fixtures and fittings in a reasonable state of repair. Tired, leaking sealant is worth putting right before a new tenant moves in.
Whether the job is in Keyhead itself or nearby, the right material for each joint matters as much as a neat finish.

How it works
There isn’t much for you to do on the day. Point us to the joints and we will get on with it. The work itself takes two to three hours for a typical bath, depending on how much old sealant there is from start to finish. Around Keyhead, distance and access matter more than parking. Let us know how to find you and how to reach the joints.
- We cover the area around the joints we’re 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.
Getting ready for the visit

Common questions in Keyhead
Is there a guarantee on bathroom resealing in Keyhead?
All our work, in Keyhead and everywhere else, comes with a 12-month guarantee. We’re fully insured, and an ARBOMaster approved applicator.
Is Keyhead within the area you cover?
Yes, Keyhead is covered. Our work covers the whole of Scotland, and smaller places are part of that. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
Is it worth trying it myself?
It depends on the job. Work at height, movement joints, fire-rated gaps and large areas are best left to a professional.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are often happy for the work to be arranged.
How long does the new silicone need before I use the shower?
Normally after around 24 hours. We will tell you the cure time for the product we used.
What do you put in the joint?
The product depends on the job: anti-fungal sanitary silicone in wet areas, and other sealants where joints move or face the weather. We use products from Arbo and Everbuild.
How long does a bath or shower reseal take?
One bath or shower is around two hours’ work, including cutting out the old sealant. A full bathroom and kitchen can take most of a day.
Is it OK to put new sealant on top of the old bead?
No, never. Sealing over the top looks fine for a few weeks, then lifts. Every trace of the old bead is removed first.
What we cannot put right
A few problems are outside what sealant work can do:
- Water coming from the plumbing rather than the joint
- Movement from a bath with loose feet or no proper support
- Cracked or missing grout between tiles (that is regrouting)
Not sure which it is? You can email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk and we will tell you honestly before booking.

What else we do in Keyhead
Do you need bathroom resealing in Keyhead?
Sealing over old silicone is one of the commonest mistakes we find. Fresh silicone can’t grip the old bead underneath, so it lifts, lets water in and traps mould underneath.
It’s worth asking for a quote if you see:
- Black mould in the silicone that will not clean off
- Shrunken sealant along the back of a worktop
- Water escaping at the shower enclosure
- Two layers of silicone, both failing
Around Keyhead, as everywhere, bathroom resealing is only as good as the preparation behind it.
