Surface by surface
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 both are resealed with anti-fungal sanitary silicone.
Sinks & splashbacks
Next to the sink, the sealant has to cope with constant water, and a food-safe product where it’s needed. The joint is laid neatly so it’s easy to wipe.
Symington questions
Do you work for landlords with property near Prestwick International Airport station?
Yes. We work for landlords and agents as well as householders, and several properties can be quoted together. You can email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk with the details for a clear quote.
Is Symington in your area for bathroom resealing?
Yes. Our work covers the whole of Scotland, and Symington is part of that. You can email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk and tell us what needs doing.
How long does the new silicone need before I use the shower?
Normally after around 24 hours. You will get the exact cure time before we leave.
Do you reseal kitchen worktops and sinks too?
Yes. Where it’s needed by the sink, we use a food-safe sealant.
Is it messy?
We keep the work tidy. Nearby surfaces are protected, and the area is left clean when we finish.
Do you guarantee your resealing?
Yes. All our work comes with a 12-month guarantee.
Is it OK to put new sealant on top of the old bead?
No, never. Sealing over the top looks fine for a few weeks, then lifts, because silicone does not bond to silicone. We remove the old bead completely before resealing.
Can you work on commercial sites?
Yes. We’ve worked for hotels, offices and other businesses.
How it works
We bring everything the job needs with us, so there’s nothing for you to buy. After a quick look at the joints together, we protect the area and start. Most jobs take half a day or less for one room, longer when the kitchen is included. Outside jobs in Symington need a dry day, because sealant won’t bond to a wet joint, so an outdoor job can move if the forecast changes. Indoor work goes ahead whatever the weather.
- We cover the area around the joints we are working on.
- We cut away the old sealant and clean off what’s left.
- We treat any mould and let the joint dry properly.
- 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
- For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can
- Move anything stored near the joints
- Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints

Advice
When to call us in Symington
Not every tube in the shop is meant for a shower. Decorators’ caulk and all-purpose sealants are not made for constant wetting, so they crack, discolour or grow mould quickly. Wet areas call for a sanitary silicone with an anti-fungal additive.
If you can see any of these, it’s time to have the joints looked at:
- A bead that has pulled away from the tiles
- New sealant laid over old sealant that is now lifting
- Splits where the tray meets the wall
- Leaks into the floor or ceiling below
For landlords with property near Prestwick International Airport station, mouldy sealant is one of the first things a new tenant notices, so it’s worth renewing between lets.
Questions to ask before booking
- How the surfaces are prepared before sealing
- Whether they seal over old material or remove it
- What the cure time is
- Are they insured?
What else we do in Symington
When it isn’t the sealant
We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what new sealant won’t do:
- Leaks from a shower valve, waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
- Failed grout lines across the wall
- Cracks in the tray itself rather than the joint
If you are not sure, just email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.

Bathroom resealing in Symington: local notes
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.
If you live in an older home near Symington Parish Church, timber floors under older bathrooms flex, so joints need a sealant that moves with them.

DIY sealant or a professional job?
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. New silicone will not bond to old, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. All the old material has to come out first.
Not every job suits DIY: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
Looking after it afterwards
Good habits help new joints last longer. A few tips:
- Look for lifting corners and small gaps now and then
- Wait for the cure time we give you
- Move toiletries away from the joint
- Avoid abrasive pads on the sealant
Good ventilation does more than any cleaner. Use the fan, or open a window, while you bathe and for a while afterwards, so the silicone gets a chance to dry.
There’s no need to wait for a full refurbishment. Sealant is a maintenance item, like the paint on a window frame, and renewing it as soon as it fails protects everything around it.
