Questions from Old Deer
Do you cover smaller places like Old Deer?
Yes, Old Deer is covered. We work across all of Scotland, and smaller places are part of that. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
Is bathroom resealing in Old Deer guaranteed?
Every job comes with our 12-month guarantee, wherever it is. We’re fully insured, and an ARBOMaster approved applicator.
Do you work for hotels and businesses?
Yes. We’ve worked for hotels, offices and other businesses.
What does bathroom resealing cost?
Every job is different, so each one gets its own quote. To get one, send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk and tell us what needs doing and where.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. We are fully insured for every job we do.
When can I use the bath or shower again?
The surface skins over fairly quickly, but the bead needs longer to cure right through. Keep water off it for around 24 hours, or follow the cure time we give you.
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 full bathroom and kitchen can take most of a day.
Is it worth trying it myself?
That depends on the joint. Work at height, movement joints, fire-rated gaps and large areas are best left to a professional.
About our bathroom resealing in Old Deer
The bead of silicone around a bath, tray or worktop is what keeps water out of the gaps. When it splits, shrinks or turns black, water gets behind it and into the wall or floor. Every trace of the old sealant is taken out and replaced with anti-fungal sanitary silicone. We work on kitchen worktops & upstands, basins & vanity units and wet rooms, and common reasons people get in touch are water escaping at the shower enclosure and water getting behind the bath panel.
For a place like Old Deer, the job is the same as anywhere: everything old is cut out, the joints are cleaned and dried, and new sealant or grout goes in. The journey and access are simply planned in advance.
You’re covered for a year from the day we finish. If there’s a problem with it, please drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk.

What the job involves on each surface
Kitchen worktops & upstands
Kitchen joints need more degreasing than bathroom ones, since cooking leaves a film that stops silicone sticking. The extra cleaning is what makes the bead last.
Basins & vanity units
Vanity units have long, worktop-style joints against the wall. If water gets in, the cabinet underneath can swell, so the joint is sealed in one unbroken line.
Landlord and commercial work in Old Deer
Whether it’s one flat or a portfolio, the work is the same standard: old sealant fully removed, joints prepared properly and a 12-month guarantee.
We also work for businesses, from offices to washrooms and kitchens. On commercial sites, working times can be discussed when we quote.
Leave it or put it right?
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. 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.
A failed joint rarely gets cheaper to fix by waiting, because water and mould keep working on it. If you’re not sure whether it needs doing, email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk and we’ll give you an honest view and a quote.

What we are called out for in Old Deer
No sealant lasts indefinitely. Every shower, every splash and every wipe with a cleaner take their toll over the years, so its life depends on how the room is used, cleaned and aired.
Most people get in touch when they notice one of these:
- Damp behind the bath or under the tray
- Water escaping at the shower enclosure
- A messy, uneven bead from a previous reseal
- Mouldy sealant that has gone black
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Mintlaw Academy, 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.
Questions to ask before you book
- What happens if they find a problem under the old sealant
- Whether all the old sealant comes out first
- Is VAT in the price?
- How the colour is chosen
Bathroom resealing in Old Deer: local notes
Scotland’s water is generally soft, so sealant and grout see less limescale than in much of England. Mould is another matter: a bathroom that stays damp still turns sealant and grout black. In Scotland, private landlords have to meet the Repairing Standard, which covers keeping fixtures and fittings in a reasonable state of repair. Failed sealant around a bath or shower is worth sorting between tenancies.
Homes close to St Drostan's Episcopal Church include some older properties, and walls and floors in older homes can move, and sealant and grout show it first.

- We protect the area and cut out all of the old sealant, 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.
- We apply anti-fungal sanitary silicone in one even bead and tool it neatly.
- We tidy up and give you the cure time, usually around 24 hours.

Related advice
Keeping the joints in good condition
After the cure time, these simple habits help:
- Check the joints every few months for splits or lifting
- Open a window or run the fan so the room dries
- Keep bottles off the sealant line
- Wipe the sealant dry after showering
Mould needs damp, so keep the room aired. Use the fan, or open a window, while you bathe and for a while afterwards, so the bead dries out between uses.
A failed kitchen joint is easy to miss. Splashes run behind the back edge and soak into the worktop, and the board underneath can swell. A reseal in time can save the worktop.
When it isn’t the sealant
Honest advice matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what new sealant will not do:
- A cracked shower tray or bath (that needs repair or replacement)
- Loose or hollow tiles, or failed tanking behind them
- Water coming from the plumbing rather than the joint
Not sure which it is? You can drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk and we’ll tell you honestly.
