Surface by surface
Baths
Most bath leaks begin along the long edge, especially under a shower. It gets one smooth bead of anti-fungal silicone, tooled so water cannot sit on it.
Shower trays & enclosures
There are usually two jobs in a shower: the tray-to-wall joint and the enclosure joints. Both get soaked every time the shower runs, so each is cut out and renewed with anti-fungal sanitary silicone.
Bathroom resealing in Seafield, done properly
Before a bath is sealed, it’s filled with water. A full bath sits slightly lower than an empty one, so the new joint is not pulled apart the first time it’s used. It’s a small step that rushed reseals tend to skip. We work on kitchen worktops & upstands, sinks & splashbacks and basins & vanity units, and common reasons people get in touch are gaps between the worktop and the wall and water getting behind the bath panel.
In and around a place like Seafield, homes range from older stone-built properties to newer houses. Older buildings can move a little, and that shows first in cracked grout and split sealant.
You’re covered for a year from the day we finish. If there’s a problem with it, please email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk.

Bathroom resealing around Seafield
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. Scotland’s water is generally soft, so sealant and grout see less limescale than in much of England. Mould is another matter: a bathroom that stays damp still turns sealant and grout black.
Rented homes near West Calder station change hands often, and fresh sealant around the bath, shower and sink between tenancies helps a property present well and keeps leaks at bay.

Landlord and commercial work in Seafield
A neglected joint can let water reach the structure, which is a bigger problem in a rented property. Resealing at the right time is simple maintenance that we can handle for you.
Hotels need rooms back in use, so we plan the work room by room around your bookings where we can. Hotel work is part of what we do, alongside homes and businesses.
What we do, step by step
On the day, there’s very little for you to do. Show us the job and we will take it from there. The job generally takes half a day or less for one room, longer when the kitchen is included. For a place like Seafield, longer drives are planned in advance. Mention tracks, gates, ferries or anything else about the route.
- We look at every joint first and check for movement or leaks.
- Every trace of the old bead is removed, including the thin smear on the tiles.
- Joints are degreased and any mould is treated.
- When the joint is dry, and a bath has been filled with water, the new silicone goes on.
- We tool the bead to a neat finish and give you the cure time, generally around 24 hours.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before
- Tell us about any water getting in

DIY versus a professional finish
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, such as a straightforward joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is.
Common questions in Seafield
I let a flat near West Calder station. Can you help?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for, and several properties can go on one quote. Just email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk with the address and what needs doing, and we will send you a clear quote.
Is Seafield within the area you cover?
Yes, Seafield is covered. Our work covers the whole of Scotland, from towns to the smallest places. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
Where do you work from?
We’re based in Crawley, West Sussex, and we cover South East England, London and all of Scotland.
Can you just seal over the old silicone?
No. It’s a common reason for reseals failing. The old joint is stripped, cleaned and resealed from scratch.
How long will the resealing take?
That depends on the number of joints and the state of the old sealant. For most single baths or showers, allow a couple of hours.
What sealant do you use?
Products from Arbo and Everbuild, among others, chosen to suit the joint. We will tell you what we are using and why.
Do I need to be at home?
Access is agreed with you when the job is booked. Indoors, that usually means someone at home.
Can you reseal around my kitchen sink and worktop?
Yes. Kitchen joints get extra degreasing before the new bead goes on, then a colour-matched bead is laid.
What we’re called out for in Seafield
Plenty of failed sealant has been laid over the top of older sealant. New silicone won’t bond to old silicone, so it peels, leaks and hides mould behind it.
These are the problems we’re asked about most:
- Splits where the tray meets the wall
- Black spots spreading through the bead
- Water getting behind the bath panel
- A bead that has pulled away from the tiles
If you look after a building such as Bathgate Academy, 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.
Before booking anyone
- How hidden problems are handled
- Whether all the old sealant comes out first
- Which colour the sealant will be
- What insurance they hold
What we can’t put right
A few problems are outside what sealant work can do:
- Tiles that have come away from the wall
- A leaking waste, trap or valve
- Failed grout lines across the wall
If you’re not sure, just drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.
What we seal
- Wet rooms
- Sinks & splashbacks

What affects the cost of bathroom resealing

- If it’s domestic, commercial or a hotel
