Bathrooms and kitchens in Potarch
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. 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.
Whether the job is in Potarch itself or nearby, the right material for each joint matters as much as a neat finish. Around Potarch, as everywhere, bathroom resealing is only as good as the preparation behind it.

About our bathroom resealing in Potarch
Showers work their sealant harder than baths. Trays, enclosures, screen profiles and wet room floors all need a flexible, waterproof seal. Each gets a bead of anti-fungal sanitary silicone, tooled smooth so water runs off instead of sitting in a ridge. If you have a messy, uneven bead from a previous reseal and gaps where the bath or tray has moved, we can help.
For a place like Potarch, the job is the same as anywhere: old material out, joints cleaned and dried, and a fresh, even finish. The journey and access are simply planned in advance.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything is not right with it, drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk.

Why it’s worth doing now in Potarch
Dealing with sealant early is a short job: it takes two to three hours for a typical bath, depending on how much old sealant there is. Left until water gets through, the job can grow to lifting panels, drying out and decorating. Out of town in Scotland, exposed walls take a lot of weather, and damp in stone or harled walls takes a long time to dry once water gets behind a joint.

- First the area is protected and every bit of old sealant removed.
- We clean and degrease the joint and treat any mould.
- We let it dry fully and fill the bath with water before sealing.

- Finally we tidy up and explain the cure time before we leave.

How to look after the new joints
A little care helps the new joints last. We recommend:
- Squeegee the walls and tray after use
- Keep bottles off the sealant line
- Never pick at the silicone with a blade
- Wait for the cure time we give you
Check the sealant now and then. Small splits and lifting ends are easy to catch early, so if something doesn’t look right, just send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk.
A failed kitchen joint is easy to miss. Splashes run behind the back edge and soak into the worktop, where it can make the board swell. Resealing before that happens protects the worktop.
Can I do it myself?
If you are set on DIY, put the effort into preparation: remove every trace of old sealant, clean and dry the joint, and follow the product’s cure time. If it does not work out, we can still put it right.
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.
What affects the cost of bathroom resealing
You’ll get a clear quote before work begins. It takes into account:
- The number and length of the joints
- Which sealant suits the joint
- Any mould that needs treating
- How easy the joints are to reach
The cost depends on the size of the job, how hard the old material is to remove and access to the work. You will have a clear quote before any work starts.
What to tell us for a quote
To make quoting easier, please include:
- Whether it’s a home or a business
- A few pictures by email, if you can
- Any previous sealing or DIY work
- The address or postcode of the job
A good description makes for an accurate quote. Tell us where the job is, what’s wrong and how much there is, and email photos if that’s easy.
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.
Shower trays & enclosures
Shower trays are sealed to the wall, and enclosures are sealed to the tray and tiles. Both get soaked every time the shower runs, so both are resealed with anti-fungal sanitary silicone.
