- Water escaping at the shower enclosure

- Leaks into the floor or ceiling below
Looking after it afterwards
So the new joints stay in good condition:
- Let new sealant cure fully before it gets wet
- Dry worktop joints after washing up
- Keep the fan on for a while after bathing
- Move toiletries away from the joint
Give the silicone time to cure before it gets wet, following the cure time we give you. After that, a quick wipe after showering helps keep it clean.
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. Any of these means the joint needs attention.
Bathroom resealing in Portlethen
Kitchens need the same care as bathrooms. The joint between worktop and wall, the edge of the sink and the bottom of the splashback all take splashes every day, and water behind a laminate worktop can make it swell. Kitchen joints get a sealant suited to kitchens, colour-matched where it shows. We are often asked to deal with water getting behind the kitchen upstand and cracked, shrunken or lifting silicone, across sinks & splashbacks, wet rooms and kitchen worktops & upstands.
In and around a place like Portlethen, homes range from older stone-built properties to newer houses. Where a building moves, cracked grout and split sealant are normally the first signs.
Each job carries a 12-month guarantee, large or small.

DIY sealant or a professional job?
Some jobs are best left to a professional: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, such as a straightforward joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.
Portlethen questions
Will you come out to Portlethen?
Yes, Portlethen is covered. Our work covers the whole of Scotland, and smaller places are part of that. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
Do you cover Portlethen for bathroom resealing?
Yes. We work across all of Scotland, and Portlethen is part of that. Just email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk with a few details of the job.
Do you work for hotels and businesses?
Yes, regularly. Larger jobs can be planned room by room or area by area.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes, and it often makes sense. Doing several areas at once is usually more efficient, so mention them when you ask for a quote.
Can you reseal around my kitchen sink and worktop?
Yes. The old sealant is cut out and the joint degreased, because cooking grease stops silicone sticking, then we reseal in a colour to suit.
Are you insured?
Yes. Full insurance covers our work.
What should I tell you?
Just the basics: where it is, what you’ve noticed and how we reach it. After that, simply email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk.
Will the old sealant be removed?
Yes, always, and completely. New sealant won’t bond properly to old, so any old material comes out before anything new goes in.

- We let it dry fully and fill the bath with water before sealing.

What we are called out for in Portlethen
Silicone does not last for ever. Daily water, heat and cleaning products slowly wear it down, and how long it lasts comes down to use, cleaning and ventilation.
Look out for these signs:
- A messy, uneven bead from a previous reseal
- Black mould in the silicone that won’t clean off
- New sealant laid over old sealant that is now lifting
- Shrunken sealant along the back of a worktop
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Portlethen Primary School, 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.

Portlethen homes and their sealant
Portlethen is within about 1 mile of 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. 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.
For landlords with property near Portlethen station, mouldy sealant is one of the first things a new tenant notices, so it’s worth renewing between lets. In the older streets around Portlethen Parish Church, walls and floors in older homes can move, and sealant and grout show it first.

What happens if it’s left?
A clean new bead makes a room look cared for, which matters if you’re letting a property or selling it. A smeared, uneven DIY bead does the opposite, and it’s harder to put right later. Out of town in Scotland, exposed walls take a lot of weather, and once water gets behind a failed joint, damp in stone or harled walls is slow to dry out.
