Bathroom resealing in Tullos, done properly
Resealing is a small job that makes a big difference. Black, patchy sealant makes clean tiles look tired, and a clean white or clear joint fixes it quickly. It also seals the gaps that let water behind the bath. We work on sinks & splashbacks, basins & vanity units and shower trays & enclosures, and people most often call us about a bead that has pulled away from the tiles and leaking joints on a shower screen.
Being further from a city doesn’t change the work: 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.
Each job carries a 12-month guarantee, whatever its size.

How the visit works
We keep the work tidy and contained to the area we’re working on, so you can carry on as normal. The job generally takes around two hours for one bath or shower, longer for a whole bathroom, and we tell you how long to leave it before we go. Around Tullos, distance and access matter more than parking. Let us know how to find you and how to reach the joints.
- 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, generally around 24 hours.
Getting ready for the visit
- For business premises, tell us about site rules or sign-in
- Let us know if you’ve seen damp or leaks
- Tell us about any previous sealing or DIY attempts

Bathrooms and kitchens in Tullos
Tullos is close to the coast. Coastal homes, holiday lets and guest houses can see heavy bathroom use in busy months, which wears sealant and grout out faster than in a quiet home. Aberdeen, the Granite City, has plenty of granite tenements, where, as in any flat, a failed seal can reach the flat below.
For landlords with property near Aberdeen station, fresh sealant around the bath, shower and sink between tenancies helps a property present well and keeps leaks at bay. Homes close to Nigg Parish Church include some older properties, and bathrooms in older houses have often been refitted more than once, with sealant laid over sealant.

Can I do it myself?
A DIY attempt does not rule out a professional job. We cut it out and start again.
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, such as a straightforward joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
What affects the cost of bathroom resealing
The quote reflects the job in front of us. We look at:
- Mould in or behind the old joints
- How easy the joints are to reach
- The number of rooms or windows
- Any working-time requirements on site
Rather than a set price list, we look at what your job involves: the amount of work, the old material and the access. The price is agreed before we begin.
What we need to know
Before you ask for a quote, have a think about:
- If someone has resealed it before
- Any access issues, like height or stairs
- Where the property is
- The rough size of the job
Call for a quick quote, or email us if that is easier. Describe what needs sealing and we will talk you through the work before giving you a price.
Common problems we fix in Tullos
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.
Any of these means the joints need attention:
- Black mould in the silicone that won’t clean off
- Sealant that has split, shrunk or peeled away
- Lumpy, uneven sealant from a DIY attempt
- Water escaping at the shower enclosure
Managing a site like Torry Academy? Then its toilets, changing areas and kitchens need their sealant renewed like any other building’s.
Questions to ask before booking
- Whether they seal over old material or remove it
- What product goes in the joint
- What happens if they find a problem under the old sealant
- What the cure time is
FAQs for Tullos
Do you work for hotels and guest houses in Tullos?
Yes, hospitality work, including hotels, is part of what we do. Work can be planned room by room, and out-of-hours working can be arranged.
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Aberdeen station?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for. You can send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk with the details for a clear quote.
Can you get rid of the black mould in my sealant?
Yes. Once mould has grown into the silicone, it generally cannot be cleaned out for good, so we cut it out, treat the joint and reseal with anti-fungal silicone.
Do you guarantee your resealing?
Yes. Every job carries our 12-month guarantee, and we are fully insured.
What sealant do you use?
We choose the sealant for the joint, not the other way round. Where it moves, gets wet or faces the weather makes a difference.
Can new silicone go straight over the old?
No. It’s a common reason for reseals failing. We cut out all of the old sealant, clean the joint and start again.
Will the old sealant be removed?
Yes, always, and completely. New silicone does not stick to old silicone, so any old material comes out before anything new goes in.
Do you cover Tullos?
Yes. We are based in Crawley and work across South East England, London and Scotland, Tullos included.
Aftercare tips
Joint life depends on how it’s used and looked after. We suggest:
- Avoid abrasive pads on the sealant
- Run the extractor fan during and after every shower
- Wait for the cure time we give you
- Stick to a soft cloth and a mild cleaner
Treat the new bead gently when you clean: warm soapy water and a soft cloth do the job. Scourers and blades can nick the surface, and a nicked bead lets mould in sooner.
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.
What else we do in Tullos
What sealant work cannot fix
Some problems need a builder, plumber or other trade rather than us:
- Water getting in through the grout rather than the sealant
- Movement from a bath with loose feet or no proper support
- Cracks in the tray itself rather than the joint
If in doubt, send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk and we’ll say what we think.
What we seal
- Shower trays & enclosures
- Wet rooms
- Kitchen worktops & upstands
- Baths
- Sinks & splashbacks
- Basins & vanity units
What happens if it’s left?
Sorting it now is quick: the work takes half a day or less for one room, longer when the kitchen is included. Left until water gets through, the job can grow to lifting panels, drying out and decorating. In a place like Tullos, small leaks are easy to put off, but water through a failed joint keeps working away until it’s fixed.
A few things move the cost up or down: the old material and how easily it comes out, any mould to treat, and whether we need extra access for height. We take all of that into account in your quote.
