- Leaking joints on a shower screen
Bathroom resealing in Wellbank, done properly
The secret of a lasting bead is the preparation. Every bit of old silicone comes out, down to the thin film left on the tiles, after which the joint is degreased and any mould treated. Only once it’s dry does the new bead go on. We work on kitchen worktops & upstands, wet rooms and basins & vanity units, and the jobs we see most are smears of silicone across the tiles and a joint torn by a bath that flexes.
A bathroom in a place like Wellbank gets the same daily wear as one in a city flat. Limescale is less of a problem with Scotland’s generally soft water, but mould still takes hold in damp sealant and grout.
Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by our 12-month guarantee in Wellbank and across Dundee.

When something else is needed
A few problems are outside what sealant work can do:
- Damage behind the tiles that needs a tiler
- A leaking waste, trap or valve
- Cracked or missing grout between tiles (that is regrouting)
Not sure which it is? You can send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
Joints and surfaces we work on
- Wet rooms
- Baths
- Sinks & splashbacks
- Shower trays & enclosures

Should I try it myself first?
If you’re set on DIY, put the effort into preparation: remove every trace of old sealant, clean and dry the joint, and follow the product’s cure time. If it fails, we can still redo it.
A DIY attempt does not rule out a professional job. We cut it out and start again, so tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
Bathroom resealing in Wellbank: local notes
In Scotland, private landlords have to meet the Repairing Standard, which includes keeping fixtures and fittings in reasonable repair. Tired, leaking sealant is worth putting right before a new tenant moves in. Dundee has plenty of sandstone tenements, so a leaking seal can soon reach the neighbours below.
For landlords with property near Monifieth station, fresh sealant around the bath, shower and sink between tenancies helps a property present well and keeps leaks at bay.
Wellbank is about 3 miles north of Broughty Ferry, in Dundee. Whether you are in the middle of Wellbank or further out, bathroom resealing is available for homes and businesses alike. Wellbank is one of 50 towns and villages in Dundee we cover for bathroom resealing. There’s also a page for Dundee, about 6 miles away.
Work in DD5 works the same way as everywhere else we cover. You’ll find streets such as Meadowbank Drive, Applehill Gardens and Gagie Bank. If you’re just outside Wellbank, we cover Kingennie (1 mile south-east), Bucklerheads (1 mile south-west), Drumsturdy (1 mile south-east), Newbigging (2 miles east) and Monikie (2 miles north-east). Further out, we also cover Dundee (6 miles south-west), Broughty Ferry (3 miles south), Stobswell (5 miles south-west), Monifieth (3 miles south-east), Blackness (7 miles south-west) and Barnhill (3 miles south).

What we do, step by step
Our applicators work methodically: protection first, then preparation, sealing and a tidy-up. For most jobs that takes a couple of hours for one bath or shower, or most of a day for a full bathroom and kitchen and we leave things clean and tidy. Outside jobs in Wellbank need a dry day, because sealant won’t bond to a wet joint, so an outdoor job can move if the forecast changes. Work indoors is not affected.
- We look at every joint first and check for movement or leaks.
- 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’re told the cure time, usually around 24 hours.
Getting ready for the visit
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Mention any sign-in or site rules at work premises
- Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints
How to get a quote
A good description makes for an accurate quote. Tell us where the job is, what’s wrong and how much there is, and email photos if that is easy.
Advice
How to look after the new joints
After the cure time, these simple habits help:
- Open a window or run the fan so the room dries
- Don’t let bottles sit on the bead
- Never pick at the silicone with a blade
- Wipe the sealant dry after showering
Check the sealant now and then. A small split or a corner lifting is easy to spot, so if something doesn’t look right, just send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk.
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.
Wellbank questions
Do you cover Wellbank for bathroom resealing?
Yes, Wellbank is within the area we cover. Our work covers the whole of Scotland. You can email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk and tell us what needs doing, and we’ll send you a clear quote.

What colours of sealant can you use?
Most people choose white or clear, but other colours can be used to suit tiles and worktops. Tell us what you’d like when you get in touch.
How long does a bath or shower reseal take?
It takes a couple of hours for one bath or shower, or most of a day for a full bathroom and kitchen. We’ll confirm how long your job needs when we quote.
What information do you need?
A short description and the location. We will ask anything else we need to know.
When can I use the bath or shower again?
We give you the cure time before we leave, and it’s normally around 24 hours. Getting it wet too early can spoil the new joint.
Will there be a smell?
There can be a smell while the sealant cures, which fades as it sets. Opening a window helps.
Is it messy?
Tidy work is part of the job. Nearby surfaces are protected, and the area is left clean when we finish.
Signs you need bathroom resealing in Wellbank
Older sealant shrinks and hardens. In kitchens it often shrinks away from the back edge, opening a hairline gap that lets water and crumbs in. Heat from the hob and strong sprays speed it along.
If you can see any of these, it’s time to have the joints looked at:
- Failed sealant on the screen profile
- Water getting behind the kitchen upstand
- Two layers of silicone, both failing
- A messy, uneven bead from a previous reseal
In and around Wellbank, as anywhere, good bathroom resealing starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint.
What to look for in a quote
- What product goes in the joint
- Whether all the old sealant comes out first
- How the surfaces are prepared before sealing
- When the joint can take water or movement
What affects the cost of bathroom resealing
Jobs vary more than people expect. What affects the quote:
- Which sealant suits the joint
- Working hours on commercial sites
- Mould in or behind the old joints
- How many areas need sealing
A few things move the cost up or down: the old material and how easily it comes out, any mould to treat, and whether the work is at height. Your quote takes all of that into account.
Helping us quote
There’s no need for technical detail. Just tell us:
- Where the property is
- Any access issues, like height or stairs
- How many joints, rooms or windows are involved
- Whether it has been sealed before
To get a quote, email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk with the location and a short description of the problem. You will have a clear quote before any work starts.
Surface by surface
Kitchen worktops & upstands
Water behind a laminate worktop can make the edge swell. A sound joint along the back edge stops that.
Basins & vanity units
Vanity units have long, worktop-style joints against the wall. Water that gets behind can damage the unit, so the joint is sealed in one unbroken line.
