What affects the cost of bathroom resealing
Some jobs are bigger than they look, and some smaller. What affects the quote:
- Any mould that needs treating
- Any working-time requirements on site
- The number and length of the joints
- How many rooms, windows or areas are involved
Leaving a failed joint usually makes the job bigger, not smaller. If you are not sure whether it needs doing, send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk and we’ll give you an honest view and a quote.
Asking for a quote
Photos by email are helpful but not essential. Try to tell us:
- Where the property is
- A few pictures by email, if you can
- Whether it has been sealed before
- The rough size of the job
Quotes start with a quick conversation. 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.
How the job changes by surface
Kitchen worktops & upstands
The joint between worktop and wall takes splashes, crumbs and cleaning sprays. The new bead is colour-matched where it shows.
Shower trays & enclosures
A tray that rocks will split any sealant. Movement is checked before anything is resealed, and tell you if it needs re-bedding first.
Bathroom resealing around Newbattle
In Scotland, private landlords have to meet the Repairing Standard, which includes keeping fixtures and fittings in reasonable repair. Failed sealant around a bath or shower is worth sorting between tenancies. Scottish Water supplies are generally soft, so limescale is less of a problem than in hard-water areas. Mould is another matter: a bathroom that stays damp still turns sealant and grout black.
Schools such as Dalkeith High 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. If you let a flat or house near Eskbank station, a reseal between tenants is a quick way to make the bathroom and kitchen look cared for.

Common questions in Newbattle
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Eskbank station?
Yes, we work for landlords and agents. Just drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk and tell us about the property, and we will give you a clear price.
Can you do bathroom resealing in Newbattle?
Yes. We work across all of Scotland, and Newbattle is part of that. Just drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk with a few details of the job, and we will send you a clear quote.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. We’re fully insured.
Are you ARBOMaster approved?
Yes. We are an ARBOMaster approved applicator, the approved applicator scheme for Arbo sealants.
Can you quote for more than one area?
Yes. Just list everything you need and we will quote it together.
Is there any odour?
Some sealants have a smell while they cure, but it fades. Opening a window helps.
Can you get rid of the black mould in my sealant?
Yes. Mould inside the bead rarely cleans out for good, so we cut it out, treat the joint and reseal with anti-fungal silicone.
How long before the new sealant can get wet?
Silicone is touch-dry quite quickly, but it takes longer to cure. Leave it around 24 hours before it gets wet, or follow the cure time we give you.
How the visit works
Our applicators work methodically: protection first, then preparation, sealing and a tidy-up. For most jobs that takes a couple of hours for one bath or shower, or most of a day for a full bathroom and kitchen. Around Newbattle, distance and access matter more than parking. Let us know how to find you and how to reach the joints.
- We look at every joint first and check for movement or leaks.
- The old silicone is cut out completely, along with the film it leaves on the tiles.
- The joint is cleaned, degreased and treated for mould.
- When the joint is dry, and a bath has been filled with water, the new silicone goes on.
- We tool the bead to a neat finish and give you the cure time, normally around 24 hours.
Getting ready for the visit
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before
- Move anything stored near the joints

DIY sealant or a professional job?
If you are set on DIY, put the effort into preparation: remove every trace of old sealant, clean and dry the joint, and follow the product’s cure time. If it fails, we can still redo it.
A DIY attempt does not rule out a professional job. We cut it out and start again.
Landlord and commercial work in Newbattle
We also work for businesses, from offices to washrooms and kitchens. On commercial sites, working times can be discussed when we quote.
In hotels, rooms out of use cost money, so we plan the work room by room. Hotel work is part of what we do, alongside homes and businesses.
Leave it or put it right?
Mould removers can fade the surface of a stained bead, but mould that has grown into the sealant tends to return. Cutting it out and resealing with anti-fungal silicone is the fix that lasts. Around Newbattle, water from a failed joint in an older stone home can soak into timber and plaster, which is a far bigger job than the sealant.
Doing several joints on one visit generally makes better use of the time than several visits. You’ll get one clear quote for the whole job.
Why Newbattle clients choose us
- White, clear, grey or another colour, product permitting
- Full insurance on every job
- Sanitary silicone with an anti-fungal additive in wet areas
- Old sealant always removed completely

What we are called out for in Newbattle
Plenty of failed sealant has been laid over the top of older sealant. New silicone won’t bond to old silicone, so it lifts, lets water in and traps mould underneath.
People usually contact us when they notice one of these:
- Black mould in the silicone that won’t clean off
- Smears of silicone across the tiles
- Sealant that has split, shrunk or peeled away
- A reseal done over the top of the old bead
If you live in an older home near Newbattle Parish Church, walls and floors in older homes can move, and sealant and grout show it first.
