Rothesay: your questions answered
Will you come out to Rothesay?
Yes, Rothesay is covered. We work across all of Scotland, from towns to the smallest places. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
Do you work for hotels and guest houses in Rothesay?
Yes, hotels and guest houses are among the places we work. Rooms can be done a few at a time, so the building stays open.
How long does it take to reseal a bath or shower?
It takes a couple of hours for a single bath or shower. You’ll know how long to expect before we start.
Do I have to be there?
If the work is inside, we need someone to let us in. Once we’ve agreed the job, you don’t need to watch us work.
Will the old sealant be removed?
Yes, every time. New sealant won’t bond properly to old, so the joint is cleaned back first.
Will it make a mess?
We keep the work tidy. Nearby surfaces are protected, and the area is left clean when we finish.
Do you reseal kitchen worktops and sinks too?
Yes, often alongside a bathroom. Where it’s needed by the sink, we use a food-safe sealant.
Can mouldy silicone be sorted out?
Yes, by replacing the sealant. Cleaning products may lighten it, but the lasting fix is new anti-fungal silicone on a clean, treated joint. Airing the room well helps stop it returning.
Bathroom resealing in Rothesay, done properly
We fill the bath before sealing it. The weight settles the bath to its lowest point, so the bead is not stretched the first time someone gets in. It’s a small step that rushed reseals tend to skip. We work on basins & vanity units, shower trays & enclosures and kitchen worktops & upstands, and people most often call us about water getting behind the kitchen upstand and failed sealant on the screen profile.
Bathrooms in smaller places like Rothesay work just as hard as those in the cities. Generally soft Scottish water means less limescale, but steam still lets mould into sealant and grout.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If there’s a problem with it, please email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk.

Different surfaces, different methods
Basins & vanity units
Basin joints are short and close to eye level: the bead is right in front of you, so it’s tooled cleanly and evenly, in white, clear or a colour to suit.
Kitchen worktops & upstands
Kitchen joints need more degreasing than bathroom ones, because cooking grease stops sealant bonding. The extra cleaning is what makes the bead last.
When something else is needed
Honest advice matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what sealant cannot fix:
- Movement from a bath with loose feet or no proper support
- Cracked or missing grout between tiles (that’s regrouting)
- A leaking waste, trap or valve
If you’re not sure, just email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk and we will give you a straight answer.

DIY versus a professional finish
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. New silicone won’t bond to old, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. Everything old must be removed first.
What affects the cost of bathroom resealing
You’ll get a clear quote before we start. It’s based on:
- The product the joint needs
- How much old sealant there is and how hard it is to remove
- How many areas need sealing
- How much there is to do
The cost depends on the size of the job, how much old material has to come out and how easy the joints are to reach. We give a clear quote before any work starts, so you know where you stand.
Asking for a quote
When you contact us, it’s useful to know:
- How we’d reach the joints
- The problem you’ve noticed
- Any previous sealing or DIY work
- If it’s domestic, commercial or a hotel
Getting a quote is simple: tell us what needs doing and where. A few photos by email make the job easier to understand, and we’ll take it from there.
How it works
You do not need to clear the whole room or building before we come, just the space around the work. Everything nearby is protected, and the job takes a morning or an afternoon for most single baths and showers in most cases. Around Rothesay, 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.
- Protection goes down around the bath, shower or worktop.
- We cut away the old sealant and clean off what’s left.
- We treat any mould and let the joint dry properly.
- 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.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any tricky access
- For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before
