About our bathroom resealing in Midlem
Sealant that’s mouldy, cracked or peeling is worth sorting before it lets water through.

We work on basins & vanity units, shower trays & enclosures and kitchen worktops & upstands, and common reasons people get in touch are a joint torn by a bath that flexes and failed sealant on the screen profile.

How the job changes by surface
Wet rooms
Not every wet room leak is a sealant problem. We reseal the joints and will tell you if the water seems to be coming from somewhere else.
Sinks & splashbacks
The edge of an inset sink is a common place for water to get under the worktop. We reseal the visible edge of the sink where it has failed.
Should I try it myself first?
Not every job suits DIY: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas need the right product, the right access and the right method.
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. Silicone doesn’t stick to old silicone, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. Everything old must be removed first.
Midlem homes and their sealant
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 does not dry out.
In and around Midlem, as anywhere, good bathroom resealing starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint. Rented homes near Tweedbank station change hands often, and a reseal between tenants is a quick way to make the bathroom and kitchen look cared for.

Why deal with it now?
Sorting it now is quick: it takes a couple of hours for one bath or shower, or most of a day for a full bathroom and kitchen. Left until water gets through, the job can grow to lifting panels, drying out and decorating. In a place like Midlem, small leaks are easy to put off, but water behind a failed seal does the most damage when nobody’s watching.
Doing several joints on one visit generally makes better use of the time than several visits, so tell us about everything that needs sealing. We will send you a clear quote for the lot.

How it works
Before we leave, we go over the finished joints with you and explain the cure time. The work normally takes a couple of hours for one bath or shower, or most of a day for a full bathroom and kitchen, depending on the amount of work. Around Midlem, distance and access matter more than parking. Tell us how to find the property and how to reach the work.
- We cover the area around the joints we’re working on.
- 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.
Before we arrive

Advice
Aftercare tips
So the new joints stay in good condition:
- Do not let bottles sit on the bead
- Dry worktop joints after washing up
- Never pick at the silicone with a blade
- Let new sealant cure fully before it gets wet
Keep water off the new bead until it has cured, which is normally around 24 hours. Once it’s cured, wiping it down after use keeps it looking new.
Small signs come before a leak: lifting ends, gaps, dark shadows under the bead or a stain downstairs. Any of these means the joint needs attention.
Work for landlords, hotels and businesses
From a single let to a portfolio, the work is the same standard: the old material taken out, careful preparation and a 12-month guarantee.
We work for letting agents and landlords as well as householders. Resealing between tenancies is a simple way to keep a property in good order before the next move-in.
What affects the cost of bathroom resealing
We quote each job individually. This is what makes a difference:
- The amount of work
- Whether the work is at height
- Whether old sealant or filler has to be cut out
- How many areas need sealing
Leaving a failed joint generally makes the job bigger, not smaller. If you’re not sure whether it needs doing, email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk for an honest opinion and a quote.
Asking for a quote
What to tell us when you ask for a quote:
- Any previous sealing or DIY work
- If it’s domestic, commercial or a hotel
- Where the property is
- What the problem is, such as mould, gaps, leaks or cracking
