- Lumpy, uneven sealant from a DIY attempt
- New sealant laid over old sealant that is now lifting
- Water escaping at the shower enclosure
Common problems we fix in New Alyth
With age, silicone loses its stretch. In kitchens it often shrinks away from the back edge, opening a hairline gap that lets water and crumbs in. Hot pans and harsh cleaners don’t help.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- Mouldy sealant that has gone black
- Leaking joints on a shower screen
- Gaps where the bath or tray has moved
- A bead that has pulled away from the tiles
For an older house near a landmark such as St Ninian's Episcopal Church, bathrooms in older houses have often been refitted more than once, with sealant laid over sealant.
Questions to ask before booking
- What happens if they find a problem under the old sealant
- The length of the guarantee
- What insurance they hold
- What the quote includes, VAT included or not
About our bathroom resealing in New Alyth
Kitchens need the same care as bathrooms. The joint between worktop and wall, the edge of the sink and the bottom of the splashback all take splashes every day, and water that gets into the back edge of a worktop can swell the board. Kitchen joints get a sealant suited to kitchens, colour-matched where it shows. If you are dealing with cracked, shrunken or lifting silicone and leaking joints on a shower screen, we can put it right.
In and around a place like New Alyth, homes range from older stone-built properties to newer houses. Where a building moves, cracked grout and split sealant are usually the first signs.
Each job carries a 12-month guarantee.

What happens if it’s left?
Leaving a split or mouldy bead only stores up trouble. Once water is behind the bath, it can reach floorboards, panels and the ceiling underneath, turning a small job into a building repair. In an older home around New Alyth, damp from a failed joint can get into timber and plaster, which is a far bigger job than the sealant.
A failed joint rarely gets cheaper to fix by waiting. If you are not sure whether it needs doing, email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk and we’ll give you an honest view and a quote.

Advice
DIY versus a professional finish
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, such as a straightforward joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
If you are 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.
Your questions about bathroom resealing in New Alyth
Is New Alyth within the area you cover?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. We work across all of Scotland. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
Do you take on hotel work around New Alyth?
Yes. Hotel and guest-house work is part of what we do. Work can be planned room by room, and out-of-hours working can be arranged.
Will there be a smell?
Possibly a little. Any smell clears as the sealant cures, and ventilation helps.
Can you quote for more than one area?
Yes, we can. More than one area can be quoted together.
What do you need from me for a quote?
The location, the problem and the rough size of the job. Photos by email help too.
How long does a bath or shower reseal take?
That depends on the number of joints and the state of the old sealant. Allow a couple of hours for a typical bath or shower.
What do you put in the joint?
It depends on the joint: anti-fungal sanitary silicone in wet areas, and other sealants where joints move or face the weather. Brands we use include Arbo and Everbuild.
Can mouldy silicone be sorted out?
Yes. Once mould has grown into the silicone, it usually cannot be cleaned out for good, so we cut it out, treat the joint and reseal with anti-fungal silicone.

How to look after the new joints
How long the joints last depends on use and care. Here’s what we suggest:
- Check the joints every few months for splits or lifting
- Never pick at the silicone with a blade
- Stick to a soft cloth and a mild cleaner
- Open a window or run the fan so the room dries
Good ventilation does more than any cleaner. Run the extractor fan during and after a shower, so the silicone gets a chance to dry.
There’s no need to wait for a full refurbishment. Sealant is a maintenance item, like the paint on a window frame, and replacing it when it fails protects the rest of the room.
