Will you come out to Lochfoot?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Our work covers the whole of Scotland. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
How long does it take to reseal a bath or shower?
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.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Just list everything you need and you’ll get one quote.
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’ll explain our choice.
Do I need to be at home?
For indoor joints, yes, someone needs to let us in. Once we have agreed the job, you don’t need to watch us work.
Bathroom resealing in Lochfoot, done properly
A shower joint gets soaked every day. Tray edges, screen profiles and wet room joints all rely on silicone to stay watertight. Each gets a bead of anti-fungal sanitary silicone, tooled smooth so water runs off instead of sitting in a ridge. We work on wet rooms, shower trays & enclosures and basins & vanity units, and the jobs we see most are shrunken sealant along the back of a worktop and leaks into the floor or ceiling below.
In and around a place like Lochfoot, homes range from older stone-built properties to newer houses. Where a building moves, cracked grout and split sealant are generally the first signs.
Every job is covered by a 12-month guarantee, wherever you are in Dumfries and Galloway.

Why act early in Lochfoot
Mould removers can fade the surface of a stained bead, but where mould is inside the silicone it generally comes back. The lasting answer is to remove the bead and start again. Exposed walls in smaller Scottish places take a lot of wind and rain, and damp in stone or harled walls takes a long time to dry once water gets behind a joint.
No two jobs are quite the same, so each one gets its own quote. The number of joints, how easy they are to reach and the sealant needed all play a part.

Surface by surface
Kitchen worktops & upstands
Kitchen joints need more degreasing than bathroom ones, since cooking leaves a film that stops silicone sticking. The extra cleaning is what makes the bead last.
Baths
Baths move more than any other fitting, so we fill it with water before sealing. That way the joint is laid with the bath at its heaviest and isn’t stretched when it’s used.
Aftercare tips
Joint life depends on how it’s used and looked after. We suggest:
- Wait for the cure time we give you
- Avoid abrasive pads on the sealant
- Look for lifting corners and small gaps now and then
- Dry worktop joints after washing up
Clean the silicone with care: warm soapy water and a soft cloth do the job. Avoid scouring pads and anything sharp, and a nicked bead lets mould in sooner.
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.
What affects the quote in Lochfoot
You’ll get a clear quote before any work starts. It takes into account:
- The type of sealant required
- Mould in or behind the old joints
- Whether old sealant or filler has to be cut out
- When we can work, for business premises
Combining jobs into one visit is generally more efficient than separate visits. We will give you a clear price for the lot.
What we need to know
To help us quote quickly, let us know:
- How we’d reach the joints
- Whether it has been sealed before
- Where the property is
- Photos by email, if that is easy
Every job is quoted individually. Simply drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk and describe the job, and pictures are welcome.
When to call us in Lochfoot
The wrong product fails fast. Decorators’ caulk and all-purpose sealants aren’t made for constant wetting, so they stain, crack or go mouldy before long. Wet areas call for a sanitary silicone with an anti-fungal additive.
Most people get in touch after spotting one of these:
- Leaks into the floor or ceiling below
- Sealant that has split, shrunk or peeled away
- Gaps between the worktop and the wall
- Two layers of silicone, both failing
If you live in an older home near Parish Church and Burial-Ground, bathrooms in older houses have often been refitted more than once, with sealant laid over sealant.

Can I do it myself?
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. New silicone will not bond to old, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. Everything old must be removed 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.
What we do, step by step
We work through the job in order: protection first, then preparation, sealing and a tidy-up. Typically it takes around two hours for one bath or shower, longer for a whole bathroom, and the area is left clean. Outdoor work around Lochfoot depends on the weather, as sealant needs a dry surface, so external jobs may need to move if the day turns wet. Work indoors is not affected.
- We start by protecting the area and stripping out the old bead.
- The joint is cleaned, degreased and treated for mould.
- We let it dry fully and fill the bath with water before sealing.
- We apply anti-fungal sanitary silicone in one even bead and tool it neatly.
- Finally we tidy up and explain the cure time before we leave.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any parking rules near the property
- Tell us about any previous sealing or DIY attempts
- For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can

Bathrooms and kitchens in Lochfoot
Private landlords in Scotland must be registered and 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. 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 doesn’t dry out.
Around Lochfoot, as everywhere, bathroom resealing is only as good as the preparation behind it.
