How we handle bathroom resealing in Red Craig
Across Red Craig, the joints we reseal are the ones that fail in any home: bath edges, tray joints, basin backs and kitchen upstands. Every joint is cut out, cleaned and left dry before it’s resealed. We’re often asked to deal with gaps where the bath or tray has moved and shrunken sealant along the back of a worktop, across sinks & splashbacks, basins & vanity units and wet rooms.
Bathrooms in smaller places like Red Craig work just as hard as those in the cities. Limescale is less of a problem with Scotland’s generally soft water, but mould still takes hold in damp sealant and grout.
You get a 12-month guarantee, the same in Red Craig as everywhere else we work.

Different surfaces, different methods
Basins & vanity units
A vanity top has a joint along the wall and sometimes at the sides. Water that gets behind can damage the unit, so a neat, continuous bead matters.
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.
What happens if it’s left?
Bleach and mould sprays may lighten black marks for a while, 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. In an older home around Red Craig, damp from a failed joint can get into timber and plaster, which is a far bigger job than the sealant.
Leaving a failed joint usually makes the job bigger, not smaller, because water and mould keep working on it. If you’re unsure, email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk and we will give you an honest view and a quote.

What bathroom resealing looks like in Red Craig
Red Craig is within about 3 miles 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. In Scotland, private landlords have to meet the Repairing Standard, which includes keeping fixtures and fittings in reasonable repair. Tired, leaking sealant is worth putting right before a new tenant moves in.
Schools such as Forres Academy are buildings too, and 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.

How the visit works
At the end, we look at the finished work together. The work normally takes half a day or less for one room, longer when the kitchen is included, depending on the size of the job. Outside jobs in Red Craig need a dry day, because sealant will not bond to a wet joint, so external jobs may need to move if the day turns wet. Work indoors isn’t affected.
- Protection goes down around the bath, shower or worktop.
- 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.
- We finish the joint, clear up and tell you how long to leave it before it gets wet.
How to prepare
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive
- Let us know about stairs, lifts or work at height
- Mention any parking rules near the property

What affects the cost of bathroom resealing
There’s no set price list, because jobs vary so much. The quote depends on:
- Access and height
- Whether old sealant or filler has to be cut out
- Working hours on commercial sites

Commercial jobs are quoted on the same basis as homes: how much there is to do, how we reach it and what it needs, along with when we can work on site. Ask us for a quote and we will explain what it covers.

DIY sealant or a professional job?
If you’re 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 fails, we can still redo it.
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. New silicone won’t bond to old, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. All the old material has to come out first.
What we are called out for in Red Craig
Mould is the reason many people want their sealant replaced. 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:
- Sealant that has split, shrunk or peeled away
- Mouldy sealant that has gone black
- Leaking joints on a shower screen
- Gaps between the worktop and the wall
If you let a flat or house near Forres station, mouldy sealant is one of the first things a new tenant notices, so it’s worth renewing between lets.
What your quote should include
- How the joint is cleaned and prepared
- Whether they’re fully insured
- What guarantee comes with the work
- Which colour the sealant will be
