About our bathroom resealing in Springboig
Resealing is a small job that makes a big difference. Mouldy silicone makes even a new bathroom look neglected, and a neat new joint puts that right in a short visit. Just as important, it closes the gaps water would otherwise get through. Common call-outs are for black mould in the silicone that won’t clean off and smears of silicone across the tiles, across kitchen worktops & upstands, basins & vanity units and wet rooms.
Springboig is in one of Scotland’s four big cities, where many tenement bathrooms were fitted into rooms that weren’t built for them. Space is tight and ventilation can be poor, which is hard on sealant and grout.
Your job is guaranteed for a year, as with all our work.

When to call us in Springboig
Mould is the reason many people want their sealant replaced. Bathrooms without good ventilation give mould all the damp it needs, and mould that has grown into the silicone normally will not clean off.
Common reasons people contact us include:
- A reseal done over the top of the old bead
- Gaps between the worktop and the wall
- Sealant that has split, shrunk or peeled away
- Smears of silicone across the tiles

How the visit works
When we get to you, we check the joints match what you told us. If we find something unexpected, we talk it through with you first. Most jobs then take half a day or less for one room, longer when the kitchen is included. In a city area like Springboig, parking may be by permit or pay-and-display, so tell us what’s nearby. If you’re in a flat, let us know how we get in at the street door.
- We cover the area around the joints we are working on.
- We cut away the old sealant and clean off what’s left.
- 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.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before
- On commercial sites, let us know about site rules
- Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed

Work for landlords, hotels and businesses
Letting agents and landlords in Springboig can book us as well as householders. Resealing between tenancies keeps a property looking cared for before the next move-in.

Springboig homes and their sealant
In Scotland, private landlords have to 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. But mould still grows into sealant and grout in a room that does not dry out.
Homes close to St Serf's Church include some older properties, and walls and floors in older homes can move, and sealant and grout show it first. For site and facilities teams at buildings such as St Andrew's Secondary School, we reseal washrooms and kitchens in schools and businesses as well as homes.

Questions from Springboig
Do you work for landlords with property near Shettleston station?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. Just drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk and tell us about the property, and we’ll give you a clear price.
Could a leaking bath seal in my Springboig flat reach the neighbours below?
It can. Tenement floors are normally timber, and water from a failed seal can find its way down to the flat below. Replacing tired sealant early is the simplest way to avoid that.
Will it make a mess?
Very little: the area around the joints is protected first, and we tidy up before we go.
Are you an approved applicator?
Yes. We are approved under the ARBOMaster scheme, which is run for the Arbo sealant brand.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes, a 12-month guarantee. Good ventilation and gentle cleaning help it last.
My sealant has gone black. Can you sort it?
Yes, we replace the mouldy bead. Cleaning products may lighten it, but the lasting fix is new anti-fungal silicone on a clean, treated joint. Good ventilation helps keep it away.
Will the old sealant be removed?
Always. Sealing over the old bead is the commonest cause of early failure, and it’s something we never do.
Where is Mr Mastic based?
Our base is in Crawley, and we cover South East England, London and all of Scotland.
Can I do it myself?
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.
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and doesn’t move well, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.
Looking after it afterwards
A little care helps the new joints last. Our advice:
- Open a window or run the fan so the room dries
- Use gentle cleaners on the silicone
- Move toiletries away from the joint
- Wait for the cure time we give you
Do not stand bottles along the bead, as they hold water against it. A quick squeegee after showering helps the joint dry.
Each shower pushes a little more water through a failed joint. Left alone, it soaks into the floor, the wall behind the tiles or the ceiling below. Early resealing closes the gap before damage is done.
How the job changes by surface
Baths
Baths move more than any other fitting, so we fill it with water before sealing. The joint is then laid with the bath at its lowest point and is not torn the first time it’s used.
Shower trays & enclosures
If a tray moves underfoot, new silicone won’t last. We check for movement before we reseal, and tell you if it needs re-bedding first.
