Bathroom & kitchen resealing in Strichen, Aberdeenshire
We cover Strichen for bath, shower, basin, wet room, worktop and sink resealing. Old sealant removed completely, joints prepared properly and every job guaranteed for a year.
- Water getting behind the kitchen upstand
- Damp behind the bath or under the tray
- New sealant laid over old sealant that is now lifting
Keeping the joints in good condition
How long the joints last depends on use and care. Here’s what we suggest:
- Keep scourers and sharp tools away from the bead
- Don’t leave water standing on kitchen joints
- Wait for the cure time we give you
- Clean with a mild bathroom cleaner and a soft cloth
Keep water off the new bead until it has cured, following the cure time we give you. Once it’s cured, wiping it down after use keeps it looking new.
A failed kitchen joint is easy to miss. Splashes run behind the back edge and soak into the worktop, where it can make the board swell. A reseal in time can save the worktop.

Other services in Strichen
Should I try it myself first?
Not every job suits DIY: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, such as a straightforward joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.
What we do, step by step
A visit follows a simple pattern: we check the joints, protect the area around them, do the work and tidy away. Most jobs take a morning or an afternoon for most single baths and showers. Somewhere like Strichen may be a longer drive, and the journey is planned ahead. Mention tracks, gates, ferries or anything else about the route.
- Protection goes down around the bath, shower or worktop.
- We cut away the old sealant and clean off what’s left.
- Mould is treated, then the joint is left to dry thoroughly.
- Any bath is filled with water, then we lay a bead of anti-fungal silicone in white, clear or a matching colour.
- We finish the joint, clear up and tell you how long to leave it before it gets wet.
Before we arrive
- Let us know about stairs, lifts or work at height
- Tell us about any previous sealing or DIY attempts
- Let us know about parking restrictions

A good description makes for an accurate quote. Let us know the location, the problem and roughly how many joints, and email photos if that’s easy.

Different surfaces, different methods
Shower trays & enclosures
The vertical joint where a screen profile meets the wall is a common leak point. We reseal it along with the base of the enclosure, sealing the side the enclosure’s instructions call for.
Kitchen worktops & upstands
Laminate worktops swell if water gets into the core. A continuous bead along the back keeps water out, as long as the worktop itself is firmly fixed.
How we quote for bathroom resealing
The price is agreed before any work begins. It takes into account:
- The number of rooms or windows
- Any mould that needs treating
- The product the joint needs
- Any working-time requirements on site
Commercial jobs are quoted on the same basis as homes: the amount of work, the access and the products needed, along with when we can work on site. Ask us for a quote and we’ll go through it with you.
What to tell us for a quote
A few details help us give you an accurate quote. When you get in contact, it helps to mention:
- Whether it has been sealed before
- The problem you’ve noticed
- Where the job is, and your postcode
- The rough size of the job
Quotes start with a quick conversation. Tell us what’s wrong, where it is and how much there is, and we will explain how we’d tackle it. Whenever you are ready, email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk.
Signs you need bathroom resealing in Strichen
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.
Look out for any of the following:
- Cracked, shrunken or lifting silicone
- Water getting behind the bath panel
- Black mould in the silicone that will not clean off
- A joint torn by a bath that flexes
If you live in an older home near All Saints' Episcopal Church, walls and floors in older homes can move, and sealant and grout show it first.
Questions to ask before booking
- Which sealant they’ll use, and why
- Whether you can choose the colour
- Whether VAT is included
- How much experience the applicator has
What bathroom resealing looks like in Strichen
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.
