Can mouldy silicone be sorted out?
Yes, by replacing the sealant. Sprays can fade the marks, but cutting it out and resealing is what lasts. Airing the room well helps stop it returning.

How we handle bathroom resealing in West Linton
Homes in West Linton have the same weak spots as anywhere else: bath edges, tray joints, basin backs and kitchen upstands. Each one is stripped, cleaned and dried before new silicone goes in. We work on sinks & splashbacks, baths and shower trays & enclosures, and the jobs we see most are leaks into the floor or ceiling below and a messy, uneven bead from a previous reseal.
Bathrooms in smaller places like West Linton work just as hard as those in the cities. Limescale is less of a problem with Scotland’s generally soft water, but mould still takes hold in damp sealant and grout.
Each job carries a 12-month guarantee, large or small.

Keeping the joints in good condition
To keep the joints looking good and working properly:
- Run the extractor fan during and after every shower
- Dry worktop joints after washing up
- Squeegee the walls and tray after use
- Use gentle cleaners on the silicone
Have a look at the joints every few months. Small splits and lifting ends are easy to catch early, and if anything looks wrong, just email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk.
Worktop joints fail quietly. Water gets behind the upstand and into the edge of a laminate worktop, and the board underneath can swell. Resealing before that happens protects the worktop.
What bathroom resealing looks like in West Linton
Private landlords in Scotland must be registered and 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. Mould is another matter: a bathroom that stays damp still turns sealant and grout black.
If you live in an older home near St Andrew's Parish Church, walls and floors in older homes can move, and sealant and grout show it first.

How it works
At the end, we look at the finished work together. The work normally takes two to three hours for a typical bath, depending on how much old sealant there is, depending on the amount of work. In smaller Scottish places, parking is normally less of an issue than access and distance. 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, including the film left on the tiles.
- Next, the joint is cleaned and any mould is treated.
- Once it’s dry, any bath is filled so the bead is laid with it at its heaviest.
- We apply anti-fungal sanitary silicone in one even bead and tool it neatly.
- Finally we tidy up and explain the cure time before we leave.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us if parking is tricky
- Tell us about any previous sealing or DIY attempts
- Clear items away from the joints we are working on

Advice
Do you need bathroom resealing in West Linton?
Plenty of failed sealant has been laid over the top of older sealant. New silicone won’t bond to old silicone, so it peels, leaks and hides mould behind it.
Look out for these signs:
- A messy, uneven bead from a previous reseal
- Water getting behind the bath panel
- Failed sealant on the screen profile
- A reseal done over the top of the old bead
In and around West Linton, as anywhere, good bathroom resealing starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint.
What your quote should include
- What the cure time is
- How the joint is cleaned and prepared
- What happens if the job turns out different
- Who turns up on the day
DIY versus a professional finish
If you do try it yourself, take your time over the preparation: take out all the old sealant, make sure the joint is clean and dry, and give it the full cure time. If it fails, we can still redo it.
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. Silicone doesn’t stick to old silicone, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. All the old material has to come out first.

Surface by surface
Kitchen worktops & upstands
Upstands and back edges are cut out, cleaned of grease and resealed, because cooking grease stops sealant bonding. Proper degreasing is what helps the new joint last.
Shower trays & enclosures
If a tray moves underfoot, new silicone will not last. We check for movement before we reseal, and tell you if it needs re-bedding first.
