About bathroom resealing in PA13

Mr Mastic has more than 20 years’ experience of sealant work, and our applicators reseal bathrooms and kitchens across PA13. We are ARBOMaster approved and fully insured, and the work comes with a 12-month guarantee. We work on basins & vanity units, kitchen worktops & upstands and wet rooms, and people most often call us about black spots spreading through the bead and a messy, uneven bead from a previous reseal.

Every visit runs the same way: we check the joints, protect the area around them, do the work and clear up. It generally takes a couple of hours for one bath or shower, or most of a day for a full bathroom and kitchen.

  1. We protect the area and cut out all of the old sealant.
  2. The joint is cleaned, degreased and treated for mould.
  3. We let it dry fully and fill the bath with water before sealing.
  4. We apply anti-fungal sanitary silicone in one even bead and tool it neatly.
  5. Finally we tidy up and explain the cure time before we leave.

What’s near Kilmacolm

In Kilmacolm, that means homes and buildings near Kilmacolm Old Kirk, Pullman Tavern and St Columba's School. The closest station to Kilmacolm is Langbank station, roughly 2.7 miles north-east.

Bathrooms and kitchens across PA13

Across PA13, from Kilmacolm, Mid Auchinleck and Bardrainney 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. That shapes the choice of sealant for jobs across PA13. Along the coast in PA13, holiday lets and guest houses can have bathrooms in near-constant use, which is hard on sealant and grout, and the weather is hard on the outside too.

Kilmacolm: Managing a site like St Columba's School? Then 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. If you live in an older home near Kilmacolm Old Kirk, older homes can move a little, which is hard on rigid grout and tired sealant.

Your quote is based on your job. We take into account:

  • When we can work, for business premises

Homes and businesses are quoted the same way: the amount of work, how we reach it and what it needs, plus any working-time requirements on site. Call for a quick quote and we’ll go through it with you.

When you call or email, it’s useful to know:

  • How we’d reach the joints
  • The problem you’ve noticed
  • A few photos by email, if you can

Landlords, agents and businesses in PA13

A neglected joint can let water reach the structure, which is a bigger problem in a rented property. Keeping joints in good order is simple maintenance.

Businesses can book us for washrooms, kitchens, offices and more. For commercial premises, we can talk through working times when we quote.

When something else is needed

Some problems need a builder, plumber or other trade rather than us:

  • Movement from a bath with loose feet or no proper support
  • Failed grout lines across the wall
  • A cracked shower tray or bath (that needs repair or replacement)

Leave it or put it right?

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’s a far bigger job than a reseal.

Questions to ask before booking

  • What guarantee comes with the work
  • Whether you can choose the colour
  • What preparation is included
  • Who turns up on the day

Aftercare tips

Simple care keeps the joints in good condition. Our advice:

  • Stick to a soft cloth and a mild cleaner
  • Run the extractor fan during and after every shower
  • Never pick at the silicone with a blade
  • Squeegee the walls and tray after use

Do not stand bottles along the bead, as they hold water against it. A quick squeegee after showering helps the joint dry.

Worktop joints fail quietly. Water gets behind the upstand and into the edge of a laminate worktop, where it can make the board swell. A reseal in time can save the worktop.

PA13 questions

Can tenants book the work?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are often happy for the work to be arranged.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes, we do. Domestic, commercial and hotel work are all part of what we do.

Can you work on commercial sites?

Yes, regularly. We can plan bigger jobs in stages to suit the site.

Can you get rid of the black mould in my sealant?

Yes, we replace the mouldy bead. Cleaning products may lighten it, but the lasting fix is new anti-fungal silicone on a clean, treated joint. Airing the room well helps stop it returning.

Do you take out the old sealant first?

Yes. Sealing over old sealant is the main reason resealing fails early, and it’s something we never do.

Should I try DIY first?

You can, for simple jobs. Preparation is everything: all the old sealant out, and a clean, dry joint. We can always put it right if it fails.

Do you come to PA13?

Yes. We’re based in Crawley and work across South East England, London and Scotland, and that includes PA13.
