Bathroom resealing in Whitecraig
A bead that has gone black, split or come away shouldn’t be left until there’s a leak. A photo of the joints helps when you email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk, and we will send you a clear quote for bathroom resealing in Whitecraig. We work on baths, sinks & splashbacks and shower trays & enclosures, and the jobs we see most are a messy, uneven bead from a previous reseal and two layers of silicone, both failing.
Bathrooms in smaller places like Whitecraig 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.
Our work is backed for twelve months, in Whitecraig and everywhere else we cover.

What the job involves on each surface
Shower trays & enclosures
Shower trays are sealed to the wall, and enclosures are sealed to the tray and tiles. Both take water every day, so both are resealed with anti-fungal sanitary silicone.
Baths
Acrylic baths flex the most, while steel and cast iron baths move less but still settle when full. Loading the bath with water before sealing allows for it.
How to look after the new joints
No joint lasts for ever, but care makes a real difference. Our tips:
- Don’t let bottles sit on the bead
- Wipe up water along the back of the worktop
- Open a window or run the fan so the room dries
- Let new sealant cure fully before it gets wet
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.
Don’t wait for a refit to deal with failed sealant. Like paintwork, sealant needs renewing from time to time, and renewing it as soon as it fails protects everything around it.
Can I do it myself?
If you do try it yourself, take your time over the 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.
Not every job suits DIY: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas need the right product, the right access and the right method.
What happens on the day
On the day, there’s very little for you to do. Point us to the joints and we will get on with it. The job generally takes a couple of hours for one bath or shower, or most of a day for a full bathroom and kitchen, including the tidy-up. In smaller Scottish places, parking is usually less of an issue than access and distance. Let us know how to find you and how to reach the joints.
- We look at every joint first and check for movement or leaks.
- 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.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know about parking restrictions
- Tell us about any water getting in
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children

Related advice
Leave it or put it right?
Tired sealant is not a reason to replace a bath or shower. Replacing the joint is usually all it takes, as long as the fittings themselves are sound. If we find a deeper problem, you will hear it from us. Exposed walls in smaller Scottish places take a lot of wind and rain, and damp in stone or harled walls takes a long time to dry once water gets behind a joint.
The cost depends on the amount of work, how much old material has to come out and how easy the joints are to reach. We give a clear quote before any work starts, so you know where you stand.
