Work for landlords, hotels and businesses
If you manage several properties in or around Riverside, jobs at different addresses can be quoted together. Just tell us the addresses and what each one needs, and pictures by email help.

How we handle bathroom resealing in Riverside
The secret of a lasting bead is the preparation. Every bit of old silicone comes out, down to the thin film left on the tiles, then the joint is cleaned, degreased and treated for mould. New silicone goes on only when the joint is fully dry. We are often asked to deal with cracked, shrunken or lifting silicone and gaps where the bath or tray has moved, across kitchen worktops & upstands, shower trays & enclosures and basins & vanity units.
A bathroom in a place like Riverside gets the same daily wear as one in a city flat. Generally soft Scottish water means less limescale, but steam still lets mould into sealant and grout.
Every job comes with a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Stirling.

What else we do in Riverside
What affects the cost of bathroom resealing
We quote each job individually. This is what makes a difference:
- The number and length of the joints
- How many rooms, windows or areas are involved
- When we can work, for business premises
- How much old sealant there is and how hard it is to remove
What you pay reflects the work, not a rough estimate. That’s why we ask a few questions first and send you a clear quote before any work starts.
Helping us quote
To help us quote quickly, let us know:
- The rough size of the job
- What’s wrong with the joints now
- If it’s domestic, commercial or a hotel
- If someone has resealed it before
If you are in Riverside and need bathroom resealing, email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk. A short description of the job and where it is helps us quote, and we will agree the price before any work begins.
Why act early in Riverside
Dealing with sealant early is a short job: the work takes a morning or an afternoon for most single baths and showers. Wait for a leak and you may be looking at panels off, drying out and redecorating too. When the nearest tradesperson is a drive away, it’s tempting to leave a small leak, but water through a failed joint keeps working away until it’s fixed.
Doing several joints on one visit normally makes better use of the time than several visits. We’ll give you a clear price for the lot.
Why book with us
- We never seal over old sealant
- Anti-fungal sanitary silicone in wet areas
- Colour picked to suit the job
- 20+ years of sealant experience

When to call us in Riverside
Sealant laid on a damp, dusty or greasy joint never bonds properly. Traces of soap, bath oil and old sealant stop it gripping, so a rushed job can start to lift early.
It’s worth asking for a quote if you see:
- Black mould in the silicone that will not clean off
- Leaks into the floor or ceiling below
- A bead that has pulled away from the tiles
- Shrunken sealant along the back of a worktop
For landlords with property near Stirling station, mouldy sealant is one of the first things a new tenant notices, so it’s worth renewing between lets.
Questions to ask before you book
- What happens if the job turns out different
- Whether they seal over old material or remove it
- How the surfaces are prepared before sealing
- Whether VAT is included
How the job changes by surface
Kitchen worktops & upstands
Kitchen joints need more degreasing than bathroom ones, because cooking grease stops sealant bonding. Proper degreasing is what helps the new joint last.
Shower trays & enclosures
If a tray moves underfoot, new silicone will not last. Movement is checked before anything is resealed, and if the tray needs refixing, we’ll say so.
DIY sealant or a professional job?
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. Silicone does not stick to old silicone, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. Everything old must be removed first.
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.
Riverside questions
Do you cover smaller places like Riverside?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Our work covers the whole of Scotland. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
Do you work for hotels and guest houses in Riverside?
Yes, we work for hotels as well as homes and businesses. Rooms can be done a few at a time, so the building stays open.
Can I do it myself?
Sometimes. Preparation is everything: all the old sealant out, and a clean, dry joint. We can always put it right if it fails.
Is white the only colour available?
There’s a choice: clear, white and colours chosen to suit the room. We’ll talk it through when we quote.
Where are you based?
We are based in Crawley, West Sussex, and we work across South East England, London and Scotland.
Do you have insurance?
Yes. Full insurance covers our work, and we can confirm the details when we quote.
Do you take out the old sealant first?
Yes, every time. New silicone does not stick to old silicone, so any old material comes out before anything new goes in.
Are you ARBOMaster approved?
Yes. We’re ARBOMaster approved, the scheme for applicators of Arbo sealants.
What we do, step by step
When we get to you, we check the joints match what you told us. If anything is different, we explain it before carrying on. After that, the work takes around two hours for one bath or shower, longer for a whole bathroom. For a place like Riverside, longer drives are planned in advance. Mention tracks, gates, ferries or anything else about the route.
- We protect the area and cut out all of the old sealant, including the film left on the tiles.
- We clean and degrease the joint and treat any mould.
- We let it dry fully and fill the bath with water before sealing.
- We apply anti-fungal sanitary silicone in one even bead and tool it neatly.
- Finally we tidy up and explain the cure time before we leave.
How to prepare
- Let us know about parking restrictions
- Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed
- Tell us about access, such as stairs, a lift or high-level joints

Bathrooms and kitchens in Riverside
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. 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.
Managing a site like Wallace High School? Then we reseal washrooms and kitchens in schools and businesses as well as homes. For an older house near a landmark such as Methodist Church, timber floors under older bathrooms flex, so joints need a sealant that moves with them.
