Questions from Thorntonhall
Do you work for landlords with property near Thorntonhall station?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. You can send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk with the address and a few details, and we’ll give you a fixed price before work begins.
Is Thorntonhall within the area you cover?
Yes, we do. We work across all of Scotland, and smaller places are part of that. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
Can you reseal around my kitchen sink and worktop?
Yes. Where it’s needed by the sink, we use a food-safe sealant.
Can you just seal over the old silicone?
No. New silicone won’t bond to old silicone, so it peels away and hides mould and water. All the old sealant comes out first.
What does bathroom resealing cost?
The cost depends on the size of the job, access and how much old sealant has to come out. Ask us for a quote and we will talk you through it.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. Mr Mastic is fully insured, with over 20 years’ experience in sealant work.
What do you need from me for a quote?
Only a few details: where it is, what you’ve noticed and how we reach it. Then email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk.
Are you ARBOMaster approved?
Yes. We’re an ARBOMaster approved applicator, the approved applicator scheme for Arbo sealants.
Bathroom resealing in Thorntonhall, done properly
A shower joint gets soaked every day. Trays, enclosures, screen profiles and wet room floors all need a flexible, waterproof seal. They’re resealed with anti-fungal sanitary silicone, tooled smooth so water runs off instead of sitting in a ridge. We work on basins & vanity units, shower trays & enclosures and wet rooms, and common reasons people get in touch are a bead that has pulled away from the tiles and water getting behind the bath panel.
For a place like Thorntonhall, the job is the same as anywhere: everything old is cut out, the joints are cleaned and dried, and new sealant or grout goes in. We just plan the journey and access beforehand.
There’s a 12-month guarantee on every job, whatever its size.

What we are called out for in Thorntonhall
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.
Most people get in touch after spotting something like this:
- Sealant that has split, shrunk or peeled away
- A messy, uneven bead from a previous reseal
- Damp behind the bath or under the tray
- Failed sealant on the screen profile
Rented homes near Thorntonhall station change hands often, and a reseal between tenants is a quick way to make the bathroom and kitchen look cared for.
What your quote should include
- The length of the guarantee
- Who turns up on the day
- Whether they seal over old material or remove it
- When the joint can take water or movement
How it works
All our tools and materials come with us in the van, so you do not need to buy or prepare anything. After a quick look at the joints together, we protect the area and start. Most jobs take a couple of hours for a single bath or shower. For a place like Thorntonhall, longer drives are planned in advance. 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.
- The old silicone is cut out completely, along with the film it leaves on the tiles.
- Joints are degreased and any mould is treated.
- When the joint is dry, and a bath has been filled with water, the new silicone goes on.
- The bead is tooled smooth and you are told the cure time, generally around 24 hours.
Before we arrive
- Keep children and pets away from the work area
- Let us know about parking restrictions
- Tell us about any previous sealing or DIY attempts

DIY versus a professional finish
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. New silicone will not bond to old, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. All the old material has to come out first.

Aftercare tips
Good habits help new joints last longer. A few tips:
- Do not leave water standing on kitchen joints
- Keep scourers and sharp tools away from the bead
- Let new sealant cure fully before it gets wet
- Move toiletries away from the joint
In a kitchen, don’t let water sit along the back of the worktop and keep hot pans away from the silicone. A dry joint lasts longer.
A split bead lets water through every time the bath or shower is used. 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.
Honest limits
We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what sealant can’t fix:
- A bath or tray that moves because it isn’t properly supported
- Cracked or missing grout between tiles (that is regrouting)
- Leaks from a shower valve, waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
If in doubt, drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk and we’ll say what we think.
Joints and surfaces we work on
- Sinks & splashbacks
- Kitchen worktops & upstands
- Basins & vanity units
- Shower trays & enclosures
- Wet rooms
- Baths
What happens if it’s left?
Leaving a split or mouldy bead only stores up trouble. Water that gets behind a bath soaks into the floor, the panel and sometimes the ceiling below, and that is a far bigger job than a reseal. 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.
The cost depends on the amount of work, how much old material has to come out and access to the work. You will have a clear quote before any work starts, so you know where you stand.

Thorntonhall 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 doesn’t dry out.
If you look after a building such as Duncanrig Secondary School, washroom and kitchen sealant there needs the same care as at home, and schools and businesses are part of our work as well as homes.
