Bathroom resealing in AB45: how it works
Homes in AB45 have the same weak spots as anywhere else: the long edge of the bath, the base of the shower tray, the back of the basin and the line along the worktop. Every joint is cut out, cleaned and left dry before it’s resealed. We are often asked to deal with mouldy sealant that has gone black and failed sealant on the screen profile, across baths, shower trays & enclosures and sinks & splashbacks.
You don’t need to clear the whole room or building before we come, just the space around the work. We protect the rest, and the job takes two to three hours for a typical bath, depending on how much old sealant there is for a typical job.
- We protect the area and cut out all of the old sealant.
- The joint is cleaned, degreased and treated for mould.
- The joint is left to dry, and baths are filled with water first.
- New anti-fungal silicone goes on in a colour to suit and is tooled to a clean finish.
- Finally we tidy up and explain the cure time before we leave.
What affects the price in AB45
Doing several joints on one visit is normally more efficient than separate visits, so it’s worth mentioning everything you’d like done. You’ll get one clear quote for the whole job.
Why book with us
- White, clear, grey or coloured to suit, where the product allows
- Arbo and Everbuild products
- Tidy, careful work
- Anti-fungal silicone where joints get wet

Landmarks near Banff
In Banff, that means homes and buildings near Methodist Church, The Market Arms and Banff Academy, among other places. Well-known places in the area include Banff Castle (under half a mile east) and Chalmers Hospital (under half a mile north-east). Not far away are Longman Hill.
Where we work in AB45
Across AB45, from Banff, Portsoy and Gardenstown outwards, we see bathrooms and kitchens of every age. Family bathrooms, rented flats and hotel en suites all need their sealant and grout renewing in time.
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 AB45 are chosen with that in mind. Along the coast in AB45, 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.
Banff: Homes close to Methodist Church include some older properties, and bathrooms in older houses have often been refitted more than once, with sealant laid over sealant. If you look after a building such as Banff Academy, washroom and kitchen sealant there needs the same care as at home, and schools and businesses are part of our work as well as homes.
When it isn’t the sealant
New sealant cannot fix everything, and we’d rather say so up front. It won’t solve:
- A cracked shower tray or bath (that needs repair or replacement)
- Movement from a bath with loose feet or no proper support
- Damage behind the tiles that needs a tiler
Signs you need bathroom resealing
Silicone does not last for ever. Daily water, heat and cleaning products slowly wear it down, so its life depends on how the room is used, cleaned and aired.
It’s worth asking for a quote if you see:
- Black mould in the silicone that will not clean off
- Shrunken sealant along the back of a worktop
- Failed sealant on the screen profile
- Smears of silicone across the tiles
DIY versus a professional finish
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. New silicone will not bond to old, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. All the old material has to come out first.
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that’s fine. We cut it out and start again.
Landlords, agents and businesses in AB45
Whether it’s one flat or a portfolio, the work is the same standard: old sealant fully removed, joints prepared properly and a one-year guarantee.
We work for letting agents and landlords as well as householders. Sealant work between tenants is a simple way to keep a property in good order.
Why act early?
Sorting it now is quick: it takes a couple of hours for one bath or shower, or most of a day for a full bathroom and kitchen. Left until water gets through, the job can grow to lifting panels, drying out and decorating.
What your quote should include
- What the cure time is
- Which colour the sealant will be
- Whether they’re fully insured
- Whether VAT is included
Common questions in AB45
Where are you based?
We work from Crawley. Our applicators cover AB45.
What do you need from me for a quote?
Just the basics: the address or postcode, what’s wrong and any access issues. After that, simply email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk.
Do I have to be there?
Access is agreed with you when the job is booked. For inside work, that normally means someone being in.
What does bathroom resealing cost?
The cost depends on the size of the job, access and how much old sealant has to come out. Call for a quick quote.
Do you do kitchens as well as bathrooms?
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.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. As well as homeowners, we work for landlords, agents, businesses and hotels across Aberdeenshire.
Do you take out the old sealant first?
Yes. Sealing over the old bead is the commonest cause of early failure, so we never do it.
