How it works
At the end, we look at the finished work together and tell you how long to leave it. The visit itself generally takes two to three hours for a typical bath, depending on how much old sealant there is, depending on the size of the job. In smaller Scottish places, parking is usually less of an issue than access and distance. Let us know how to find you and how to reach the joints, and the visit is planned around that.
- First, each joint is checked for movement and signs of water.
- Every trace of the old bead is removed, including the thin smear on the tiles.
- Joints are degreased and any mould is treated.
- With the joint dry, and any bath loaded with water, a single bead of anti-fungal silicone is applied.
- We tool the bead to a neat finish and give you the cure time, normally around 24 hours.
Before we arrive
- For business premises, tell us about site rules or sign-in
- Let us know about stairs, lifts or work at height
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before

Advice
Bathroom resealing in Pitscottie
Before a bath is sealed, it’s filled with water. The weight settles the bath to its lowest point, so the new joint isn’t pulled apart the first time it’s used. Quick jobs often leave it out, and it makes a real difference. Common call-outs are for smears of silicone across the tiles and water getting behind the kitchen upstand, on wet rooms, basins & vanity units and shower trays & enclosures.
Across smaller places in Scotland, homes range from stone and harled cottages to newer houses. Where a building moves, cracked grout and split sealant are generally the first signs.
There’s a 12-month guarantee on every job, large or small.

What else we do in Pitscottie
What we are called out for in Pitscottie
Black mould is behind a lot of resealing. Steamy rooms that don’t dry out give mould all the damp it needs, and once it has grown into the bead, cleaning rarely gets it out.
It’s worth asking for a quote if you see:
- Two layers of silicone, both failing
- Splits where the tray meets the wall
- Lumpy, uneven sealant from a DIY attempt
- Damp behind the bath or under the tray
Rented homes near Cupar station change hands often, and mouldy sealant is one of the first things a new tenant notices, so it’s worth renewing between lets.
Questions to ask before you book
- What insurance they hold
- How long the guarantee is
- Is VAT in the price?
- Whether they seal over old material or remove it
What affects the cost of bathroom resealing
We do not publish a price list, because no two jobs are the same. What we look at:
- Whether there’s mould to deal with
- The number and length of the joints
- Any working-time requirements on site
- How much old sealant there is and how hard it is to remove
Combining jobs into one visit normally makes better use of the time than several visits, so it’s worth mentioning everything you’d like done. You’ll get one clear quote for the whole job.

Surface by 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.
Wet rooms
A wet room floor and its walls can move independently, so the corners need a flexible seal, not grout. Cracked grout in a corner can be cut out and replaced with silicone.
What we cannot put right
To be straight with you, some problems need a different trade:
- A cracked shower tray or bath (that needs repair or replacement)
- Water getting in through the grout rather than the sealant
- Movement from a bath with loose feet or no proper support
If in doubt, send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk and we’ll say what we think before booking.
What we seal
- Wet rooms
- Shower trays & enclosures
- Basins & vanity units
- Kitchen worktops & upstands
- Sinks & splashbacks

Bathrooms and kitchens in Pitscottie
Private landlords in Scotland must be registered and 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. Scottish Water supplies are generally soft, so limescale is less of a problem than in hard-water areas. But mould still grows into sealant and grout in a room that doesn’t dry out.

FAQs for Pitscottie
Do you cover smaller places like Pitscottie?
Yes. Pitscottie is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. We work across all of Scotland. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
I let a flat near Cupar station. Can you help?
Yes, we work for letting agents and landlords. You can send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk with the address and a few details, and we’ll give you a fixed price before any work starts.
Can new silicone go straight over the old?
No. New silicone won’t bond to old silicone, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. We always take the old sealant out completely.
Can I choose the colour of the sealant?
There’s a choice: white, clear and colours to suit tiles and worktops. We will talk it through when we quote.
Do I need to be at home?
We need access to the joints, so we will agree that with you when we book. Indoors, that usually means someone at home.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes. All our work comes with a 12-month guarantee.
My sealant has gone black. Can you sort it?
Yes. Mould inside the bead rarely cleans out for good, so we cut it out, treat the joint and reseal with anti-fungal silicone.
What sealant do you use?
Products from Arbo and Everbuild, among others, picked for each joint. We’ll tell you what we are using and why.
What happens if it’s left?
Running new silicone over the old joint can look tidy for a few weeks, but it can’t stick to what’s underneath. Water creeps under it and mould follows, and the next reseal means two layers to cut out. When the nearest tradesperson is a drive away, it’s tempting to leave a small leak, but water through a failed joint keeps working away until it’s fixed.
What it costs depends on the size of the job, how much old material has to come out and how easy the joints are to reach. You’ll have a clear quote before any work starts.
