Our bathroom resealing service in AB23
Sealant is the soft line between a bath, shower or worktop and the wall. When it splits, shrinks or turns black, water gets behind it into walls, panels and floors. Our team cut the old bead out completely and lay a new one in anti-fungal sanitary silicone. Common call-outs are for sealant that has split, shrunk or peeled away and gaps where the bath or tray has moved, across basins & vanity units, kitchen worktops & upstands and shower trays & enclosures.
When we get to you, we check the joints match what you told us. If we find something unexpected, we talk it through with you first. After that, the work takes a couple of hours for a single bath or shower.
- Protection goes down around the bath, shower or worktop.
- Old sealant is sliced away and the residue removed.
- Mould is treated, then the joint is left to dry thoroughly.
- Baths are filled first, then anti-fungal sanitary silicone is applied in a colour to suit.
- We finish the joint, clear up and tell you how long to leave it before it gets wet.

Bathrooms and kitchens across AB23
Homes across AB23 range from older properties to new builds, and in places like Donside Village, Balmedie and Potterton there’s plenty of rented property too. Bathroom resealing keeps bathrooms and kitchens watertight and looking cared for.
Scotland has its own building regulations, and homes here bring their own details: harled walls, sash and case windows and, in the larger towns and cities, tenements. AB23 is part of the area we cover across Scotland. Along the coast in AB23, window and wall joints facing the sea take the brunt of the weather, so they’re often the first to fail. Good preparation and the right sealant help it cope.
Balmedie: In and around Balmedie, as anywhere, good bathroom resealing starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint. In the older streets around Belhelvie North Church, older homes can move a little, which is hard on rigid grout and tired sealant.
How to look after the new joints
How long the joints last depends on use and care. Here’s what we suggest:
- Keep the fan on for a while after bathing
- Keep scourers and sharp tools away from the bead
- Move toiletries away from the joint
- Give the silicone its full cure time
Wipe up standing water along the worktop joint. A dry joint lasts longer.
Small signs come before a leak: a corner lifting, a gap behind the bead, a dark line under the silicone or a damp patch on the ceiling below. Any of these means the joint needs attention.
DIY sealant or a professional job?
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.
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and does not move well, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.

Helping us quote
To make quoting easier, please include:
- A few pictures by email, if you can
- Roughly how big the job is
- Where the property is
- Whether it has been sealed before
Every job is quoted individually, so start by telling us what you need. Simply email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk and describe the job, and photos are welcome.
Why deal with it now?
A failed joint gets more costly to put right the longer it’s left. Water that gets behind a bath soaks into the floor, the panel and sometimes the ceiling below, and that is a far bigger job than a reseal.
Questions to ask before booking
- What product goes in the joint
- What the quote includes, VAT included or not
- What guarantee comes with the work
- What happens if they find a problem under the old sealant
Common problems we fix in AB23
Older sealant shrinks and hardens. Along worktops it tends to pull back from the wall, leaving a thin gap where water and food collect. Heat from the hob and strong sprays speed it along.
These are the problems we are asked about most:
- Cracked, shrunken or lifting silicone
- Water getting behind the kitchen upstand
- New sealant laid over old sealant that is now lifting
- Gaps where the bath or tray has moved
Questions from AB23
Where are you based?
Our base is in Crawley, West Sussex, and we cover South East England, London and all of Scotland.
What do you put in the joint?
The product depends on the job: anti-fungal sanitary silicone in wet areas, and other sealants where joints move or face the weather. Brands we use include Arbo and Everbuild.
Can I do it myself?
For a simple, easy-to-reach joint, a careful DIYer can do a reasonable job. Most DIY failures come from sealing over old material, wet joints or too much sealant.
How long does a bath or shower reseal take?
A single bath or shower takes about a couple of hours, including cutting out the old sealant. A whole bathroom plus the kitchen may take most of the day.
Will it make a mess?
Tidy work is part of the job. Nearby surfaces are protected, and we clear up when we’re done.
Are you ARBOMaster approved?
Yes. We are ARBOMaster approved, the scheme for applicators of Arbo sealants.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Several rooms, windows or areas can go on one quote.
