- A joint torn by a bath that flexes
- Sealant that has split, shrunk or peeled away
- A reseal done over the top of the old bead
What happens on the day
Our applicators work methodically: protection first, then preparation, sealing and a tidy-up. For most jobs that takes around two hours for one bath or shower, longer for a whole bathroom and we leave things clean and tidy. For a place like Whitekirk, longer drives are planned in advance. Mention tracks, gates, ferries or anything else about the route.
- 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.
- The joint is cleaned, degreased and treated for mould.
- When the joint is dry, and a bath has been filled with water, the new silicone goes on.
- We tool the bead to a neat finish and give you the cure time, generally around 24 hours.
How to prepare
- For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can
- Mention any parking rules near the property
- On commercial sites, let us know about site rules

Advice
Bathroom resealing in Whitekirk, done properly
Sealant is the soft line between a bath, shower or worktop and the wall. Once it cracks or goes mouldy, water starts to find its way through into walls, panels and floors. Our team cut the old bead out completely and lay a new one in anti-fungal sanitary silicone. If you are dealing with a joint torn by a bath that flexes and new sealant laid over old sealant that is now lifting, we can put it right, whatever the surface.
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 generally the first signs.
All of our work is guaranteed for twelve months, in Whitekirk and everywhere else we cover.

Questions from Whitekirk
Can you do bathroom resealing in Whitekirk?
Yes. We work across all of Scotland, and Whitekirk is part of that. Just send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk with a few details of the job.
Do you work for landlords with property near East Linton station?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. You can drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk with the address and a few details, and we’ll give you a fixed price before work begins.
Can you just seal over the old silicone?
No, never. A bead laid over old silicone soon starts to come away. Every trace of the old bead is removed first.
Are you an approved applicator?
Yes. We’re an ARBOMaster approved applicator, which is run for the Arbo sealant brand.
Is white the only colour available?
There’s a choice: white, clear and colours to suit tiles and worktops. We will talk it through when we quote.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes. We give a 12-month guarantee on every job, and we’re ARBOMaster approved applicators.
Do I need to be at home?
Access is agreed with you when the job is booked. Indoors, that normally means someone at home.
Will there be a smell?
That depends on the sealant. Some smell for a while, some hardly at all.
Work for landlords, hotels and businesses
Hotels need rooms back in use, so we plan the work room by room around your bookings where we can. Hotel work is part of what we do, alongside homes and businesses.
For anyone letting property in or around Whitekirk, several properties can be quoted together. Just tell us the addresses and what each one needs.
How to look after the new joints
To keep the joints looking good and working properly:
- Dry the bead with a towel now and then
- Don’t leave water standing on kitchen joints
- Use gentle cleaners on the silicone
- Run the extractor fan during and after every shower
Clean the silicone with care: a mild bathroom cleaner and a soft cloth is enough. Avoid scouring pads and anything sharp, and a nicked bead lets mould in sooner.
Each shower pushes a little more water through a failed joint. Left alone, it soaks into the floor, the wall behind the tiles or the ceiling below. Resealing early stops it.
What we cannot put right
We will always be straight with you, so here’s what new sealant will not do:
- A leaking waste, trap or valve
- A cracked shower tray or bath (that needs repair or replacement)
- A bath or tray that moves because it is not properly supported
If in doubt, email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk and we will say what we think.
Where we work in Whitekirk
- Wet rooms
- Shower trays & enclosures
- Basins & vanity units
- Baths
- Kitchen worktops & upstands
- Sinks & splashbacks
When to call us in Whitekirk
Baths and trays move. An acrylic bath flexes under load, while a poorly supported tray can shift underfoot. That movement works at the bead until it splits or peels away.
The problems people generally mention when they call are:
- Gaps where the bath or tray has moved
- Cracked, shrunken or lifting silicone
- New sealant laid over old sealant that is now lifting
- Smears of silicone across the tiles
For landlords with property near East Linton station, mouldy sealant is one of the first things a new tenant notices, so it’s worth renewing between lets.
What to look for in a quote
- Whether all the old sealant comes out first
- How much experience the applicator has
- Whether they’re fully insured
- How hidden problems are handled

Why it’s worth doing now in Whitekirk
A clean new bead makes a room look cared for, which helps when a home is being let or put on the market. Lumpy sealant with smears on the tiles has the opposite effect, and it’s harder to put right later. Exposed walls in smaller Scottish places take a lot of wind and rain, and once water gets behind a failed joint, damp in stone or harled walls is slow to dry out.
Instead of a standard rate, we price the job in front of us: how many joints, what’s in them now and how we reach them. The price is agreed before we begin.

What the job involves on each surface
Wet rooms
In a wet room, the joints between floor and walls take standing water. They’re resealed with anti-fungal sanitary silicone, working on the surface joints, not the tanking or drainage.
Sinks & splashbacks
Next to the sink, the sealant has to cope with constant water, and a food-safe product where it’s needed. The joint is laid neatly so it’s easy to wipe.
What bathroom resealing looks like in Whitekirk
Whitekirk is within about 3 miles of 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. Scottish Water supplies are generally soft, so limescale is less of a problem than in hard-water areas. Mould is another matter: a bathroom that stays damp still turns sealant and grout black.
For an older house near a landmark such as Parish Church, bathrooms in older houses have often been refitted more than once, with sealant laid over sealant.
