Why act early in Wanlockhead
Tired sealant isn’t a reason to replace a bath or shower. Replacing the joint is usually all it takes, provided the bath, tray and tiles are in good order. If we find a deeper problem, you’ll hear it from us. 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.
Doing several joints on one visit generally makes better use of the time than several visits. You will get one clear quote for the whole job.
Why Wanlockhead clients choose us

How we handle bathroom resealing in Wanlockhead
We fill the bath before sealing it. A full bath sits slightly lower than an empty one, so the new joint is not pulled apart the first time it’s used. It’s a small step that rushed reseals tend to skip. If you’re dealing with cracked, shrunken or lifting silicone and gaps between the worktop and the wall, we can help.
Across smaller places in Scotland, homes range from stone and harled cottages to newer houses. Where a building moves, cracked grout and split sealant are usually the first signs.
Our work is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you are.

Can I do it myself?
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is.
Some jobs are best left to a professional: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs need the right product, the right access and the right method.
Signs you need bathroom resealing in Wanlockhead
Mould is the reason many people want their sealant replaced. Bathrooms without good ventilation keep the silicone damp for hours, and mould that has grown into the silicone generally will not clean off.
People generally contact us after spotting something like this:
- Gaps where the bath or tray has moved
- Water getting behind the bath panel
- Smears of silicone across the tiles
- A reseal done over the top of the old bead
In the older streets around Wanlockhead Church, timber floors under older bathrooms flex, so joints need a sealant that moves with them.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

I rent my home. Can I book you?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just make sure your landlord agrees.
Should I try DIY first?
That depends on the joint. Work at height, movement joints, fire-rated gaps and large areas are best left to a professional.
Is there any odour?
That depends on the sealant. Some products have a noticeable smell, others very little, and any smell fades as they cure.
Do I have to be there?
That depends on where the joints are. Inside work needs someone to give us access, and for outside work we’ll agree access with you when we book.
Bathroom resealing in Wanlockhead: local notes
In Scotland, private landlords have to 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. 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.

How it works
The work is kept neat and contained to the joints we are treating, so you can carry on as normal. The job normally 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 Wanlockhead, distance and access matter more than parking. Tell us how to find the property and how to reach the work, and the visit is planned around that.
- We protect the area and cut out all of the old sealant.
- We clean and degrease the joint and treat any mould.
- Once it’s dry, any bath is filled so the bead is laid with it at its heaviest.
- A single bead of anti-fungal sanitary silicone is applied and tooled smooth.
- We clear away and tell you when it can get wet, normally after around 24 hours.
How to prepare
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before
- On commercial sites, let us know about site rules
- Let us know about parking restrictions

What the job involves on each surface
Baths
A bath shifts slightly every time it’s filled, so it’s filled with water before the bead goes on. The joint is then laid with the bath at its lowest point and is not stretched when it’s used.
Wet rooms
In a wet room, the joints between floor and walls take standing water. They get anti-fungal sanitary silicone, working on the surface joints, not the tanking or drainage.
What else we do in Wanlockhead
When something else is needed
We will always be straight with you, so here’s what new sealant won’t do:
- A bath or tray that moves because it isn’t properly supported
- Failed grout lines across the wall
- Water coming from the plumbing rather than the joint
If in doubt, drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk and we will say what we think.
