Bathroom resealing in Portgordon, done properly
Across Portgordon, the joints we reseal are the ones that fail in any home: the long edge of the bath, the base of the shower tray, the back of the basin and the line along the worktop. Each one is stripped, cleaned and dried before new silicone goes in. We work on basins & vanity units, sinks & splashbacks and kitchen worktops & upstands, and common reasons people get in touch are lumpy, uneven sealant from a DIY attempt and mouldy sealant that has gone black.
For a place like Portgordon, 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. We just plan the journey and access beforehand.
Each job carries a 12-month guarantee, whatever its size.

What else we do in Portgordon
Honest limits
In fairness, there are a few things sealant will not fix:
- Water getting in through the grout rather than the sealant
- Leaks from a shower valve, waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
- A tray that rocks until it’s re-bedded
If you’re not sure, just email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk and we will give you a straight answer before you book.
What we seal
- Kitchen worktops & upstands
- Shower trays & enclosures
- Wet rooms
- Sinks & splashbacks
- Baths
- Basins & vanity units
What happens if it’s left?
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. 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.
Leaving a failed joint generally makes the job bigger, not smaller, as water and mould keep getting in. If you’re not sure whether it needs doing, send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk for an honest opinion and a quote.

Different surfaces, different methods
Kitchen worktops & upstands
The joint between worktop and wall takes splashes, crumbs and cleaning sprays. We seal them in a colour that suits the worktop, so the line doesn’t stand out.
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, so it’s cut out and renewed just like a bath joint.
How we quote for bathroom resealing
The price is agreed before any work begins. It’s based on:
- Whether old sealant or filler has to be cut out
- The type of sealant required
- The number of rooms or windows
- Working hours on commercial sites
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 make a difference.
What we need to know
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote. When you ask for a quote, tell us:
- What’s wrong with the joints now
- If someone has resealed it before
- Pictures of the joints, sent by email
- How many joints, rooms or windows are involved
The more we know about the job, the more useful the quote. Let us know the location, the problem and roughly how many joints, and add photos by email if you can.
The process
Most of a good job is in the preparation, so that is where we spend the time. Joints are cleaned back and dried before anything new goes in. In total, it usually takes a morning or an afternoon for most single baths and showers. Outdoor work around Portgordon depends on the weather, as sealant needs a dry surface, so external jobs may need to move if the day turns wet. Work indoors is not affected.
- We cover the area around the joints we are working on.
- Old sealant is sliced away and the residue removed.
- 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.
How to prepare
- Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work
- On commercial sites, let us know about site rules
- Clear the area around the work

Advice
How to look after the new joints
Looking after new joints is easy:
- Look for lifting corners and small gaps now and then
- Dry worktop joints after washing up
- Avoid abrasive pads on the sealant
- Keep bottles off the sealant line
Good ventilation does more than any cleaner. Run the extractor fan during and after a shower, so the silicone gets a chance to dry.
Small signs come before a leak: a corner lifting, a gap behind the bead, a dark line under the silicone or a damp patch on the ceiling below. If you spot one, it’s time to reseal.
Portgordon homes and their sealant
Portgordon is close to the coast. Near the coast, holiday lets and guest houses can see bathrooms used by one guest after another, and sealant and grout that work that hard wear out sooner. 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.
Around Portgordon, as everywhere, bathroom resealing is only as good as the preparation behind it. Schools such as Buckie High School are buildings too, and we reseal washrooms and kitchens in schools and businesses as well as homes.

Portgordon questions
What guarantee comes with bathroom resealing in Portgordon?
All our work, in Portgordon and everywhere else, comes with a 12-month guarantee. We’re also fully insured and ARBOMaster approved.
Do you cover Portgordon for bathroom resealing?
Yes. We work across all of Scotland, and Portgordon is part of that. Just email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk with a few details of the job, and we will send you a clear quote.
Does someone need to be in?
For indoor joints, yes, someone needs to let us in. Once we’ve agreed the job, you don’t need to watch us work.
Do you take out the old sealant first?
Yes, every time. New silicone doesn’t stick to old silicone, so any old material comes out before anything new goes in.
How long does a bath or shower reseal take?
A single bath or shower takes about a couple of hours, old sealant removal included. A whole bathroom plus the kitchen may take most of the day.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. Mr Mastic is fully insured, with over 20 years’ experience in sealant work.
Should I try DIY first?
It depends on the job. Work at height, movement joints, fire-rated gaps and large areas are best left to a professional.
What sealant do you use?
Each joint gets the product that suits it. Where it moves, gets wet or faces the weather makes a difference, and we will explain our choice.
