About our bathroom resealing in Lockerbie
Sealant that’s mouldy, cracked or peeling shouldn’t be left until there’s a leak. A photo of the joints helps when you send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk, and you’ll get a clear quote before any work starts. We work on kitchen worktops & upstands, shower trays & enclosures and sinks & splashbacks, and the jobs we see most are black mould in the silicone that won’t clean off and cracked, shrunken or lifting silicone.
Bathrooms in smaller places like Lockerbie 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.
There’s a 12-month guarantee on every job, whatever its size.

FAQs for Lockerbie
Is Lockerbie within the area you cover?
Yes, Lockerbie is covered. Our work covers the whole of Scotland, from towns to the smallest places. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
Do you work in hotels near Lockerbie?
Yes. Hotel and guest-house work is part of what we do. Jobs can be programmed room by room, with out-of-hours working possible to arrange.
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 white the only colour available?
White and clear are the most common choices, but other colours can be used to suit tiles and worktops. Tell us what you’d like when you get in touch.
Can you do several jobs on one visit?
Yes, we can. More than one area can be quoted together.
Is it messy?
We keep the work tidy. Nearby surfaces are protected, and we clear up when we’re done.
Will the old sealant be removed?
Yes, every time. New silicone does not stick to old silicone, so the joint is cleaned back first.
Is it worth trying it myself?
For a simple, easy-to-reach joint, a careful DIYer can do a reasonable job. Most DIY failures come from sealing over old material, wet joints or too much sealant.
Looking after it afterwards
Looking after new joints is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Check the joints every few months for splits or lifting
- Do not let bottles sit on the bead
- Open a window or run the fan so the room dries
- Squeegee the walls and tray after use
Check the sealant now and then. Small splits and lifting ends are easy to catch early, and if anything looks wrong, just drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk.
A few black dots in the silicone soon become a black line. When it has grown right through, it rarely cleans out. Replacing the sealant early keeps the job small.
Why act early in Lockerbie
A quick bead over the top of the old one might look better for a while, but it will not bond. Water creeps under it and mould follows. Out of town in Scotland, exposed walls take a lot of weather, and damp in stone or harled walls takes a long time to dry once water gets behind a joint.
Some things make a job bigger or smaller: how much old sealant there is and how stubborn it is, any mould to treat, and whether the work is at height. Your quote takes all of that into account.

How we quote for bathroom resealing
Jobs vary more than people expect. What affects the quote:
- How easy the joints are to reach
- How much there is to do
- Mould in or behind the old joints
- Working hours on commercial sites
Homes and businesses are quoted the same way: the amount of work, how we reach it and what it needs. Ask us for a quote and we will go through it with you.
What we need to know
To make quoting easier, let us know:
- If someone has resealed it before
- The rough size of the job
- Pictures of the joints, sent by email
- What the problem is, such as mould, gaps, leaks or cracking
It all starts with a short chat. Tell us what’s wrong, where it is and how much there is, and we will talk you through what we’d do. Whenever you’re ready, email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk.
When to call us in Lockerbie
Not every tube in the shop is meant for a shower. Decorators’ caulk and all-purpose sealants are not made for constant wetting, so they crack, discolour or grow mould quickly. A bathroom joint needs anti-fungal sanitary silicone.
It’s worth asking for a quote if you see:
- A reseal done over the top of the old bead
- Failed sealant on the screen profile
- Water getting behind the kitchen upstand
- Damp behind the bath or under the tray
Schools such as Lockerbie Academy are buildings too, and we reseal washrooms and kitchens in schools and businesses as well as homes.

What bathroom resealing looks like in Lockerbie
Lockerbie has hotels and guest accommodation nearby. Hotel bathrooms are part of our work as well as homes, and can be done room by room. In Scotland, private landlords have to 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.
Rented homes near Lockerbie station change hands often, and mouldy sealant is one of the first things a new tenant notices, so it’s worth renewing between lets. For an older house near a landmark such as Holy Trinity R.C. Church, timber floors under older bathrooms flex, so joints need a sealant that moves with them.

DIY versus a professional finish
A DIY attempt doesn’t rule out a professional job. We remove it and do the joint properly.
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. Silicone does not stick to old silicone, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. All the old material has to come out first.
How it works
There’s no need to move everything out, only the area right around the joints. We protect the rest, and the work takes a couple of hours for one bath or shower, or most of a day for a full bathroom and kitchen for a typical job. For a place like Lockerbie, longer drives are planned in advance. Tell us about tracks, gates, a ferry crossing or anything unusual about getting there.
- We cover the area around the joints we are working on.
- Old sealant is sliced away and the residue removed.
- We treat any mould and let the joint dry properly.
- Baths are filled first, then anti-fungal sanitary silicone is applied in a colour to suit.
- The joint is finished neatly and we explain when it can get wet.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us about any previous sealing or DIY attempts
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit
- Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work
