Bathroom resealing in AB12: how it works
Sealant that is mouldy, cracked or peeling shouldn’t be left until there’s a leak. A photo of the joints helps when you drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk, and you will get a clear quote for bathroom resealing in AB12. Typical jobs include smears of silicone across the tiles and a reseal done over the top of the old bead, across shower trays & enclosures, sinks & splashbacks and baths.
We bring everything the job needs with us, so you don’t need to buy or prepare anything. After a quick look at the joints together, we protect the area and start. Most jobs take around two hours for one bath or shower, longer for a whole bathroom.
- First the area is protected and every bit of old sealant removed, including the film left on the tiles.
- The joint is cleaned, degreased and treated for mould.
- The joint is left to dry, and baths are filled with water first.
- We apply anti-fungal sanitary silicone in one even bead and tool it neatly.
- We tidy up and give you the cure time, usually around 24 hours.
What you’ll pay
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. We take all of that into account in your quote.
Why choose Mr Mastic
- A sealant colour to suit the surroundings
- Anti-fungal sanitary silicone in wet areas
- ARBOMaster approved applicator
- Arbo and Everbuild products

Landmarks near Portlethen
In Portlethen, that means homes and buildings near Portlethen Parish Church, Portlethen Academy and Portlethen Primary School and the streets around them. There’s a railway station in Portlethen itself: Portlethen station. A little further out are Blairs College (3.3 miles north-west) and Pitfoddels Castle (3.8 miles north). Green spaces nearby include Portlethen Moss and Loirston Loch.
Where we work in AB12
From Ferryhill, Portlethen and Cove Bay to its smaller places, homes across AB12 have bathrooms and kitchens of every age. Sealant and grout wear out in all of them, whether it’s a family bathroom, a rented flat or a hotel en suite.
The west of Scotland is wetter than the east, but outside joints take plenty of weather everywhere, while generally soft water means less limescale indoors but no less mould. Sealants for jobs in AB12 are chosen with that in mind. In the coastal parts of AB12, the sea-facing side of a building takes the most weather, and that is where sealant generally gives up first. Good preparation and the right sealant help it cope.
Portlethen: If you let a flat or house near Portlethen station, mouldy sealant is one of the first things a new tenant notices, so it’s worth renewing between lets. Schools such as Portlethen Primary School are buildings too, and its toilets, changing areas and kitchens need their sealant renewed like any other building’s.
Why act early?
A failed joint gets more costly to put right the longer it’s left. Once water is behind the bath, it can reach floorboards, panels and the ceiling underneath, and that’s a far bigger job than a reseal.

When it is not the sealant
We will always be straight with you, so here’s what sealant cannot fix:
- A tray or bath that is cracked through
- A tray that rocks until it’s re-bedded
- Tiles that have come away from the wall
What we are called out for in AB12
No sealant lasts indefinitely. Daily water, heat and cleaning products slowly wear it down, so its life depends on how the room is used, cleaned and aired.
Common reasons people contact us include:
- Sealant that has split, shrunk or peeled away
- Black spots spreading through the bead
- A reseal done over the top of the old bead
- Water escaping at the shower enclosure
DIY sealant or a professional job?
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, and the work is guaranteed for a year.
Some jobs are best left to a professional: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
Surface by surface
Sinks & splashbacks
Next to the sink, the sealant has to cope with constant water, including a food-safe sealant where that is needed. The joint is laid neatly so it’s easy to wipe.
Shower trays & enclosures
The vertical joint where a screen profile meets the wall is a common leak point. We reseal it along with the base of the enclosure, sealing the side the enclosure’s instructions call for.
AB12: your questions answered
Do you take out the old sealant first?
Yes. We cut out all the old sealant and clean the joint.
What should I tell you?
Let us know what needs doing and where. We will ask anything else we need to know.
How long will the resealing take?
A single bath or shower takes about a couple of hours, old sealant removal included. A whole bathroom plus the kitchen may take most of the day.
Will there be a smell?
That depends on the sealant. Some smell for a while, some hardly at all.
How do I get a quote for bathroom resealing in AB12?

Can you reseal around my kitchen sink and worktop?
Yes. Worktops, sinks and splashbacks are all part of the job, in a kitchen-suitable sealant, matched to the worktop where it’s on show.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. We are fully insured, and we can confirm the details when we quote.
