Our bathroom resealing service in PA36
Resealing is a small job that makes a big difference. Mouldy silicone makes even a new bathroom look neglected, and a neat new joint puts that right in a short visit. It also seals the gaps that let water behind the bath. Common call-outs are for shrunken sealant along the back of a worktop and black mould in the silicone that won’t clean off, across kitchen worktops & upstands, shower trays & enclosures and basins & vanity units.
We work through the job in order: protection first, then preparation, sealing and a tidy-up. Typically it takes two to three hours for a typical bath, depending on how much old sealant there is.
- Protection goes down around the bath, shower or worktop.
- We cut away the old sealant and clean off what’s left.
- Mould is treated, then the joint is left to dry thoroughly.
- Any bath is filled with water, then we lay a bead of anti-fungal silicone in white, clear or a matching colour.
- We finish the joint, clear up and tell you how long to leave it before it gets wet.

Where we work in PA36
In PA36, bathroom resealing takes in flats, houses, rentals and businesses, from Bridge of Orchy to the quieter places in between. The method is the same everywhere: old material cut out, joints cleaned and dried, and a fresh finish laid.
Homes in Scotland come with their own details: sash and case windows, harled walls and, in the towns and cities, tenement flats. We work across Scotland, including PA36.
Bridge of Orchy: In and around Bridge of Orchy, as anywhere, good bathroom resealing starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint. For landlords with property near Bridge of Orchy station, a reseal between tenants is a quick way to make the bathroom and kitchen look cared for.
What happens if it’s left?
A clean new bead makes a room look cared for, which matters if you are letting a property or selling it. Lumpy sealant with smears on the tiles has the opposite effect.

How to look after the new joints
Joint life depends on how it’s used and looked after. We suggest:
- Wipe up water along the back of the worktop
- Keep the fan on for a while after bathing
- Let new sealant cure fully before it gets wet
- Stick to a soft cloth and a mild cleaner
Mould needs damp, so keep the room aired. Run the extractor fan during and after a shower, so the bead dries out between uses.
Don’t wait for a refit to deal with failed sealant. Like paintwork, sealant needs renewing from time to time, and renewing it as soon as it fails protects everything around it.
DIY versus a professional finish
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that’s fine. We remove it and do the joint properly.
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and does not move well, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.

When it is not the sealant
We’d rather tell you now than do work that won’t last, so these are the limits:
- Water getting in through the grout rather than the sealant
- A leaking waste, trap or valve
- A tray or bath that is cracked through
Questions from PA36
When can I use the bath or shower again?
Around 24 hours is typical, and we confirm the time for the product used. Getting it wet too early can spoil the new joint.
Can mouldy silicone be sorted out?
Yes. The old sealant comes out, the mould is treated, and we reseal with anti-fungal sanitary silicone.
Can new silicone go straight over the old?
No. Fresh silicone cannot stick to the old bead, so it peels away and hides mould and water. All the old sealant comes out first.
Will you leave a mess?
We keep the work tidy. Nearby surfaces are protected, and we clear up when we’re done.
Do you come to PA36?
Yes. We work in PA36. To book, email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk.
Do you take out the old sealant first?
Yes, always, and completely. New silicone does not stick to old silicone, so any old material comes out before anything new goes in.
Should I try DIY first?
That depends on the joint. Work at height, movement joints, fire-rated gaps and large areas are best left to a professional, while a short indoor joint may be within reach.
