Bathroom resealing in Sinclairston
Mr Mastic has more than 20 years’ experience of sealant work, and our applicators reseal bathrooms and kitchens across Sinclairston. We are ARBOMaster approved and fully insured, and the work comes with a 12-month guarantee. We work on shower trays & enclosures, basins & vanity units and sinks & splashbacks, and common reasons people get in touch are a messy, uneven bead from a previous reseal and two layers of silicone, both failing.
Bathrooms in smaller places like Sinclairston 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.
All our work is covered by a one-year guarantee.

Should I try it myself first?
Some jobs are best left to a professional: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that is fine. We remove it and do the joint properly, so just mention it when you contact us.
How we quote for bathroom resealing
The price is agreed before any work begins. It’s based on:
- When we can work, for business premises
- The old material and how stubborn it is
- The number of rooms or windows
- Any mould that needs treating
Every job is a little different, so each one gets its own quote. Size, access and the product the joint needs all make a difference, and we will explain the quote if you ask.
Asking for a quote
A few details help us give you an accurate quote. When you ask for a quote, tell us:
- Where the job is, and your postcode
- Whether it’s a home or a business
- Access, such as stairs, a lift or height
- If someone has resealed it before
A good description makes for an accurate quote. Tell us where the job is, what’s wrong and how much there is, and add photos by email if you can.
Surface by surface
Baths
The long joint down the side of a bath is where most leaks start, particularly where there’s a shower over the bath. We finish it with a single, even bead of anti-fungal silicone, tooled so water can’t sit on it.
Shower trays & enclosures
Shower trays are sealed to the wall, and enclosures are sealed to the tray and tiles. Both take water every day, so each is cut out and renewed with anti-fungal sanitary silicone.

Keeping the joints in good condition
No joint lasts for ever, but care makes a real difference. Our tips:
- Use gentle cleaners on the silicone
- Wipe the sealant dry after showering
- Do not leave water standing on kitchen joints
- Keep scourers and sharp tools away from the bead
Clean the silicone with care: a mild bathroom cleaner and a soft cloth is enough. Avoid scouring pads and anything sharp, and a nicked bead lets mould in sooner.
Watch for the early signs: lifting ends, gaps, dark shadows under the bead or a stain downstairs. Any of these means the joint needs attention.
For landlords and businesses
In hotels, rooms out of use cost money, so we plan the work room by room around your bookings where we can. We’ve worked in hotels as well as homes and businesses.
If you manage several properties in or around Sinclairston, jobs at different addresses can be quoted together. Just tell us the addresses and what each one needs.
How it works
You don’t need to clear the whole room or building before we come, just the space around the work. We protect the rest, and the job takes two to three hours for a typical bath, depending on how much old sealant there is for a typical job. For a place like Sinclairston, 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.
- With the joint dry, and any bath loaded with water, a single bead of anti-fungal silicone is applied.
- The bead is tooled smooth and you’re told the cure time, generally around 24 hours.
Before we arrive
- Tell us about any water getting in
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children

Related advice
Do you need bathroom resealing in Sinclairston?
Plenty of failed sealant has been laid over the top of older sealant. New silicone will not bond to old silicone, so it lifts, lets water in and traps mould underneath.
Common reasons people contact us are:
- Damp behind the bath or under the tray
- A bead that has pulled away from the tiles
- Leaking joints on a shower screen
- A joint torn by a bath that flexes
For jobs in and around Sinclairston, choosing the right material for each joint is as important as a tidy finish.

Sinclairston questions
Is bathroom resealing in Sinclairston guaranteed?
All our work, in Sinclairston and everywhere else, comes with a 12-month guarantee. We are fully insured, and an ARBOMaster approved applicator.
Will you come out to Sinclairston?
Yes. Sinclairston is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. We work across all of Scotland. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
What sealant do you use?
Each joint gets the product that suits it. Movement, water and weather all affect the choice.
How long will the resealing take?
One bath or shower is around two hours’ work, old sealant removal included. A full bathroom and kitchen can take most of a day.
Will you leave a mess?
Very little: the area around the joints is protected first, and we tidy up before we go.
Can you quote for more than one area?
Of course. Doing several areas at once is generally more efficient, so mention them when you ask for a quote.
What does bathroom resealing cost?
There’s no set price, as it depends on the job: how much there is, what’s there now, how we reach it and what it needs. We agree the price before any work begins.
Can mouldy silicone be sorted out?
Yes. Once mould has grown into the silicone, it normally can’t be cleaned out for good, so the bead comes out, the joint is treated and new anti-fungal silicone goes in.
Bathroom resealing around Sinclairston
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. Scottish Water supplies are generally soft, so limescale is less of a problem than in hard-water areas. But mould still grows into sealant and grout in a room that doesn’t dry out.
