Looking after it afterwards
Joint life depends on how it’s used and looked after. We suggest:
- Wipe the sealant dry after showering
- Stick to a soft cloth and a mild cleaner
- Avoid abrasive pads on the sealant
- Keep the fan on for a while after bathing
Mould needs damp, so keep the room aired. Run the extractor fan during and after a shower, so the silicone gets a chance to dry.
Watch for the early signs: lifting ends, gaps, dark shadows under the bead or a stain downstairs. Any of these means the joint needs attention.
About our bathroom resealing in Monifieth
Sealant is the soft line between a bath, shower or worktop and the wall. Once it cracks or goes mouldy, water starts to find its way through into walls, panels and floors. Our team cut the old bead out completely and lay a new one in anti-fungal sanitary silicone. We work on sinks & splashbacks, wet rooms and basins & vanity units, and common reasons people get in touch are a joint torn by a bath that flexes and leaks into the floor or ceiling below.
Being further from a city doesn’t change the work: old material out, joints cleaned and dried, and a fresh, even finish. We just plan the journey and access beforehand.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you’re not left on your own once the job is done.

The process
The work is kept neat and contained to the area we are working on, so you can get on with your day. Expect the work to take a couple of hours for a single bath or shower, and we explain the cure time before we leave. Around Monifieth, distance and access matter more than parking. Let us know how to find you and how to reach the joints, and the visit is planned around that.
- We start by protecting the area and stripping out the old bead, including the film left on the tiles.
- Next, the joint is cleaned and any mould is treated.
- The joint is left to dry, and baths are filled with water first.
- A single bead of anti-fungal sanitary silicone is applied and tooled smooth.
- We clear away and tell you when it can get wet, generally after around 24 hours.
Getting ready for the visit
- Move anything stored near the joints
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive
- Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work

Do you have insurance?
Yes. Mr Mastic is fully insured, and we’ve been doing sealant work for more than 20 years.
Can I do it myself?
For a simple, easy-to-reach joint, a careful DIYer can do a reasonable job. The usual mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using too much.
Is white the only colour available?
We can use white, clear or a colour to suit. Where the joint is on show, we match it to the surface.
What sealant work cannot fix
We won’t take on work that will not last, so here’s what sealant cannot put right:
- Loose or hollow tiles, or failed tanking behind them
- A tray that rocks until it’s re-bedded
- Water getting in through the grout rather than the sealant
If you’re not sure, just drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk and we will give you a straight answer before booking.

Common problems we fix in Monifieth
Not every tube in the shop is meant for a shower. Acrylic caulk and general-purpose sealants aren’t designed for a joint that is wet every day, so they stain, crack or go mouldy before long. Wet areas call for a sanitary silicone with an anti-fungal additive.
People generally contact us after spotting one of these:
- A joint torn by a bath that flexes
- Mouldy sealant that has gone black
- A reseal done over the top of the old bead
- A bead that has pulled away from the tiles
For landlords with property near Monifieth station, fresh sealant around the bath, shower and sink between tenancies helps a property present well and keeps leaks at bay.
Questions to ask before you book
- How hidden problems are handled
- The length of the guarantee
- When the joint can take water or movement
- Whether VAT is included

What else we do in Monifieth
Why act early in Monifieth
Running new silicone over the old joint can look tidy for a few weeks, but it won’t bond. It lifts, traps water and grows mould behind it. 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.
Every job is a little different, so we quote each one individually. The number of joints, how easy they are to reach and the sealant needed all make a difference, and we will explain the quote if you ask.
Why us?
- Neat joints and a tidy finish
- Any old sealant cut out fully, not covered over
- 12-month guarantee on every job
- Colour picked to suit the job
Read our cost guide and customer reviews.
Should I try it myself first?
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. New silicone will not bond to old, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. Everything old must be removed first.
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.
What bathroom resealing looks like in Monifieth
Monifieth is close to the coast. Near the coast, holiday lets and guest houses can see bathrooms used by one guest after another, which wears sealant and grout out faster than in a quiet home. Dundee has plenty of sandstone tenements, so a leaking seal can soon reach the neighbours below.
Schools such as Grange Primary School are buildings too, and 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.
