Baths, showers and worktops in Rankinston need attention? We cut out the old, prepare the joints and apply the right sealant, with a 12-month guarantee.

Bathroom resealing for homes and businesses in Rankinston
The bead of silicone around a bath, tray or worktop is what keeps water out of the gaps. Once it cracks or goes mouldy, water starts to find its way through and into the wall or floor. Our team cut the old bead out completely and lay a new one in anti-fungal sanitary silicone. Common call-outs are for a bead that has pulled away from the tiles and leaking joints on a shower screen, across kitchen worktops & upstands, wet rooms and sinks & splashbacks.
Being further from a city doesn’t change the work: old material out, joints cleaned and dried, and a fresh, even finish. The journey and access are simply planned in advance.
Big or small, it’s backed by our 12-month guarantee.

Different surfaces, different methods
Sinks & splashbacks
Next to the sink, the sealant has to cope with constant water, including a food-safe sealant where that’s needed. The joint is laid neatly so it’s easy to wipe.
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.
What bathroom resealing looks like in Rankinston
Private landlords in Scotland must be registered and meet the Repairing Standard, which covers keeping fixtures and fittings in a reasonable state of repair. Tired, leaking sealant is worth putting right before a new tenant moves in. Scotland’s water is generally soft, so sealant and grout see less limescale than in much of England. But mould still grows into sealant and grout in a room that does not dry out.
Whether the job is in Rankinston itself or nearby, the right material for each joint matters as much as a neat finish. In and around Rankinston, as anywhere, good bathroom resealing starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint.

Can I do it myself?
Some jobs are best left to a professional: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas need the right product, the right access and the right method.
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and does not move well, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.
How it works
Good joint work is mostly preparation, and we don’t rush it. Every joint is cleaned and dried before new material goes in. All told, the work takes half a day or less for one room, longer when the kitchen is included. Around Rankinston, distance and access matter more than parking. Tell us how to find the property and how to reach the work, and the visit is planned around that.
- First the area is protected and every bit of old sealant removed.
- Next, the joint is cleaned and any mould is treated.
- We let it dry fully and fill the bath with water before sealing.
- New anti-fungal silicone goes on in a colour to suit and is tooled to a clean finish.
- We tidy up and give you the cure time, usually around 24 hours.
Before we arrive
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit
- Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work
- Tell us about any water getting in

Advice
What affects the cost of bathroom resealing
Your quote is based on your job. We take into account:
- The type of sealant required
- When we can work, for business premises
- The number and length of the joints
- Any mould that needs treating
Rather than a set price list, we price the job in front of us: how many joints, what’s in them now and how we reach them. You’ll know the price before we begin.
Asking for a quote
Photos by email are helpful but not essential. Please mention:
- Where the property is
- If someone has resealed it before
- The type of property
- What’s wrong with the joints now
Every job is quoted individually, so start by telling us what you need. Just email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk with the details.
Looking after it afterwards
Simple care keeps the joints in good condition. We recommend:
- Move toiletries away from the joint
- Clean with a mild bathroom cleaner and a soft cloth
- Check the joints every few months for splits or lifting
- Wipe the sealant dry after showering
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.
Mould that starts as a few spots spreads through the bead. Once it’s deep in the silicone, cleaning generally won’t remove it. Replacing the sealant early keeps the job small.
Leave it or put it right?
Mould removers can fade the surface of a stained bead, but mould that has grown into the sealant tends to return. Cutting it out and resealing with anti-fungal silicone is the fix that lasts. 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.
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.
