- New sealant laid over old sealant that is now lifting
How the visit works
On the day, there’s very little for you to do. Show us the job and we will take it from there. The job generally takes a couple of hours for one bath or shower, or most of a day for a full bathroom and kitchen from start to finish. Somewhere like Pittenweem may be a longer drive, and the journey is planned ahead. Tell us about tracks, gates, a ferry crossing or anything unusual about getting there.
- 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.
- Once it’s dry, any bath is filled so the bead is laid with it at its heaviest.
- We apply anti-fungal sanitary silicone in one even bead and tool it neatly.
- Finally we tidy up and explain the cure time before we leave.
Before we arrive
- Clear items away from the joints we’re working on
- Tell us about access, such as stairs, a lift or high-level joints
- For business premises, tell us about site rules or sign-in

Bathroom resealing in Pittenweem, done properly
We fill the bath before sealing it. A full bath sits slightly lower than an empty one, so the new joint is not pulled apart the first time it’s used. It’s a small step that rushed reseals tend to skip. We work on basins & vanity units, sinks & splashbacks and baths, and common reasons people get in touch are shrunken sealant along the back of a worktop and leaks into the floor or ceiling below.
In and around a place like Pittenweem, homes range from older stone-built properties to newer houses. Older buildings can move a little, and that shows first in cracked grout and split sealant.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you are covered after we’ve gone.

Your questions about bathroom resealing in Pittenweem
Is Pittenweem within the area you cover?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Our work covers the whole of Scotland. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
Do you take on hotel work around Pittenweem?
Yes, we work for hotels as well as homes and businesses. A room-by-room programme keeps most rooms in use while the work goes on.
What do you need from me for a quote?
Just the basics: the address or postcode, what’s wrong and any access issues. After that, simply email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk.
What do you put in the joint?
The product depends on the job: anti-fungal sanitary silicone in wet areas, and other sealants where joints move or face the weather. We use products from Arbo and Everbuild.
Do you reseal kitchen worktops and sinks too?
Yes. Worktops, sinks and splashbacks are all part of the job, in a kitchen-suitable sealant, matched to the worktop where it’s on show.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are glad to have it sorted.
Can you just seal over the old silicone?
No. It’s a common reason for reseals failing. The old joint is stripped, cleaned and resealed from scratch.
Should I try DIY first?
Some simple jobs can be done by a careful DIYer. Most DIY failures come from sealing over old material, wet joints or too much sealant.
Can I do it myself?
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. Silicone doesn’t stick to old silicone, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. All the old material has to come out first.
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.
What we can’t put right
A few problems are outside what sealant work can do:
- Cracks in the tray itself rather than the joint
- A bath or tray that moves because it is not properly supported
- 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.
What we seal
- Sinks & splashbacks
- Kitchen worktops & upstands
- Wet rooms
- Basins & vanity units
- Baths
- Shower trays & enclosures
Leave it or put it right?
Bleach and mould sprays may lighten black marks for a while, but where mould is inside the silicone it normally comes back. The lasting answer is to remove the bead and start again. When the nearest tradesperson is a drive away, it’s tempting to leave a small leak, but water behind a failed seal does the most damage when nobody’s watching.
Leaving a failed joint normally makes the job bigger, not smaller, as water and mould keep getting in. 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.

What else we do in Pittenweem
Pittenweem homes and their sealant
Pittenweem is within about 1 mile of the coast. Coastal homes, holiday lets and guest houses can see heavy bathroom use in busy months, and sealant and grout that work that hard wear out sooner. Private landlords in Scotland must be registered and 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.
If you look after a building such as Waid Academy, its toilets, changing areas and kitchens need their sealant renewed like any other building’s.

Signs you need bathroom resealing in Pittenweem
Black mould is behind a lot of resealing. Bathrooms without good ventilation give mould all the damp it needs, and once it has grown into the bead, cleaning rarely gets it out.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Damp behind the bath or under the tray
- Gaps where the bath or tray has moved
- Smears of silicone across the tiles
- Shrunken sealant along the back of a worktop
For an older house near a landmark such as St John's Episcopal Church, bathrooms in older houses have often been refitted more than once, with sealant laid over sealant.

Surface by surface
Shower trays & enclosures
The vertical joint where a screen profile meets the wall is a common leak point. We reseal it along with the base of the enclosure, following the enclosure maker’s guidance on which side to seal.
Sinks & splashbacks
Splashbacks in glass, tile or acrylic meet the worktop in a long joint. We renew it in clear, white or a matched colour.
