Bathroom resealing for homes and businesses in Strathore
Sealant is the soft line between a bath, shower or worktop and the wall. When it splits, shrinks or turns black, water gets behind it and into the wall or floor. Every trace of the old sealant is taken out and replaced with anti-fungal sanitary silicone. We work on sinks & splashbacks, baths and kitchen worktops & upstands, and common reasons people get in touch are failed sealant on the screen profile and new sealant laid over old sealant that is now lifting.
A bathroom in a place like Strathore 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.
All our work is covered by our 12-month guarantee, wherever you are in Fife.

Aftercare tips
A little care helps the new joints last. Our advice:
- Avoid abrasive pads on the sealant
- Dry worktop joints after washing up
- Look for lifting corners and small gaps now and then
- Move toiletries away from the joint
Have a look at the joints every few months. Small splits and lifting ends are easy to catch early, and if anything looks wrong, just email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk.
A failed kitchen joint is easy to miss. Water gets behind the upstand and into the edge of a laminate worktop, and the board underneath can swell. A reseal in time can save the worktop.
What happens if it’s left?
Dealing with sealant early is a short job: the work takes two to three hours for a typical bath, depending on how much old sealant there is. Left until water gets through, the job can grow to lifting panels, drying out and decorating. When the nearest tradesperson is a drive away, it’s tempting to leave a small leak, but water behind a failed seal does the most damage when nobody’s watching.
Rather than a set price list, we price the job in front of us: how many joints, what’s in them now and how we reach them. You’ll know the price before we begin.

How the job changes by surface
Wet rooms
A wet room floor and its walls can move independently, so the internal corners need silicone rather than grout. Where grout in a corner has cracked, we can replace it with sealant.
Baths
Acrylic baths give a little under load, and even steel and cast iron baths settle slightly when full. Loading the bath with water before sealing allows for it.
The process
When we get to you, we compare the joints with what we discussed. If we find something unexpected, we talk it through with you first. Most jobs then take a couple of hours for one bath or shower, or most of a day for a full bathroom and kitchen. Somewhere like Strathore may be a longer drive, and the journey is planned ahead. Tell us about tracks, gates, a ferry crossing or anything unusual about getting there.
- First, each joint is checked for movement and signs of water.
- 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.
- We tool the bead to a neat finish and give you the cure time, normally around 24 hours.
How to prepare
- For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can
- Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints
- Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work

Common problems we fix in Strathore
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.
People normally contact us when they notice something like this:
- Damp behind the bath or under the tray
- New sealant laid over old sealant that is now lifting
- Leaking joints on a shower screen
- Black mould in the silicone that won’t clean off
If you live in an older home near Old Parish Church, older homes can move a little, which is hard on rigid grout and tired sealant.

Bathrooms and kitchens in Strathore
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. Private landlords in Scotland must be registered and meet the Repairing Standard, which covers keeping fixtures and fittings in a reasonable state of repair. Failed sealant around a bath or shower is worth sorting between tenancies.
Managing a site like Kirkcaldy High School? Then its toilets, changing areas and kitchens need their sealant renewed like any other building’s. Rented homes near Glenrothes with Thornton 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.
