What the job involves on each surface
Baths
Most bath leaks begin along the long edge, especially under a shower. We finish it with a single, even bead of anti-fungal silicone, tooled so water cannot sit on it.
Basins & vanity units
Basins take less water than showers, but the joint behind them is splashed every day. Corners behind basins are where mould tends to start, and we treat it exactly as we would a bath.

What we can’t put right
We’d rather tell you now than do work that will not last, so these are the limits:
- Cracked or missing grout between tiles (that is regrouting)
- Loose or hollow tiles, or failed tanking behind them
- A cracked shower tray or bath (that needs repair or replacement)
If in doubt, send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk and we will say what we think.

Newstead: your questions answered
I let a flat near Tweedbank station. Can you help?
Yes, we work for letting agents and landlords. Just drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk and tell us about the property, and we’ll send you a clear quote.
Do you work for hotels and guest houses in Newstead?
Yes, hotels and guest houses are among the places we work. A room-by-room programme keeps most rooms in use while the work goes on.
How long does a bath or shower reseal take?
A single bath or shower takes about a couple of hours, including cutting out the old sealant. A whole bathroom plus the kitchen may take most of the day.
Which products do you use?
Quality sealants from brands including Arbo and Everbuild, picked for each joint. We will tell you what we are using and why.
Do you guarantee your resealing?
Yes. Every job carries our 12-month guarantee, and we’re fully insured.
Is it OK to put new sealant on top of the old bead?
No. Fresh silicone can’t stick to the old bead, so it peels away and hides mould and water. We always take the old sealant out completely.
Do I have to be there?
Access is agreed with you when the job is booked. Indoors, that usually means someone at home.
What does bathroom resealing cost?
Size, access and the old material all affect the cost. Ask us for a quote and we’ll talk you through it.
The process
Good joint work is mostly preparation, and we don’t rush it. Joints are cleaned back and dried before anything new goes in. In total, it normally takes two to three hours for a typical bath, depending on how much old sealant there is. Around Newstead, distance and access matter more than parking. Tell us how to find the property and how to reach the work, and the visit is planned around that.
- We cover the area around the joints we’re working on.
- We cut away the old sealant and clean off what’s left.
- Mould is treated, then the joint is left to dry thoroughly.
- 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
- On commercial sites, let us know about site rules
- Tell us about any previous sealing or DIY attempts
- Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work

Advice
How we quote for bathroom resealing
Call for a quick quote. The main things that affect it are:
- Any mould that needs treating
- How much there is to do
- The product the joint needs
- Whether old sealant or filler has to be cut out
Every job is a little different, so each one gets its own quote. The number of joints, how easy they are to reach and the sealant needed all play a part.
Helping us quote
There’s no need for technical detail. Just tell us:
- Pictures of the joints, sent by email
- Where the job is, and your postcode
- How many joints, rooms or windows are involved
- Whether it’s a home or a business
For bathroom resealing in Newstead, drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk. Tell us what the problem is and where, and you will get a clear quote before we start.
What happens if it’s left?
A failed joint gets more costly to put right the longer it’s left. Once water is behind the bath, it can reach floorboards, panels and the ceiling underneath, turning a small job into a building repair. Exposed walls in smaller Scottish places take a lot of wind and rain, and damp in stone or harled walls takes a long time to dry once water gets behind a joint.
The cost reflects the work involved, not guesswork. That is why we ask a few questions first and send you a clear quote before any work starts.
What you get with us
- Approved under the ARBOMaster scheme
- Tidy, careful work
- A sealant colour to suit the surroundings
- A choice of colours where the product allows

What we’re called out for in Newstead
Sealant laid on a damp, dusty or greasy joint never bonds properly. Soap residue, oils and leftover silicone film all get in the way, so a rushed job can start to lift early.
People normally contact us after spotting something like this:
- Splits where the tray meets the wall
- A bead that has pulled away from the tiles
- Black spots spreading through the bead
- Water getting behind the kitchen upstand
Rented homes near Tweedbank station change hands often, and mouldy sealant is one of the first things a new tenant notices, so it’s worth renewing between lets.
