Our bathroom resealing service in PA72
The secret of a lasting bead is the preparation. Every bit of old silicone comes out, down to the thin film left on the tiles, after which the joint is degreased and any mould treated. New silicone goes on only when the joint is fully dry. We work on wet rooms, kitchen worktops & upstands and basins & vanity units, and common reasons people get in touch are smears of silicone across the tiles and failed sealant on the screen profile.
Good joint work is mostly preparation, so that’s where we spend the time. Joints are cleaned back and dried before anything new goes in. In total, it generally takes half a day or less for one room, longer when the kitchen is included.
- We look at every joint first and check for movement or leaks.
- The old silicone is cut out completely, along with the film it leaves on the tiles.
- The joint is cleaned, degreased and treated for mould.
- When the joint is dry, and a bath has been filled with water, the new silicone goes on.
- We tool the bead to a neat finish and give you the cure time, generally around 24 hours.

Bathroom resealing across PA72: local notes
Our bathroom resealing work across PA72 covers homes, rentals and businesses, in Salen and well beyond. Wherever the job is, all the old material comes out before anything new goes in.
Scottish weather is hard on outside joints, especially in the wetter west, while generally soft water means less limescale indoors but no less mould. Sealants for jobs in PA72 are chosen with that in mind.
Salen: In and around Salen, as anywhere, good bathroom resealing starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint. For jobs in and around Salen, choosing the right material for each joint is as important as a tidy finish.
Why deal with it now?
The difference in a professional reseal is mostly what you do not see: removing all the old sealant, degreasing the joint, treating mould and drying it properly. Skip those steps and even the best silicone fails early.
Questions to ask before booking
- What preparation is included
- What happens if the job turns out different
- When the joint can take water or movement
- What insurance they hold
Honest limits
A few problems are outside what sealant work can do:
- Cracks in the tray itself rather than the joint
- Loose or hollow tiles, or failed tanking behind them
- A bath or tray that moves because it isn’t properly supported
Aftercare tips
Once the sealant has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Dry the bead with a towel now and then
- Let new sealant cure fully before it gets wet
- Dry worktop joints after washing up
- Avoid abrasive pads on the sealant
Have a look at the joints every few months. Small splits and lifting ends are easy to catch early, and if anything looks wrong, just send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk.
There’s no need to wait for a full refurbishment. Like paintwork, sealant needs renewing from time to time, and replacing it when it fails protects the rest of the room.
For landlords and businesses
From a single let to a portfolio, the work is the same standard: old sealant fully removed, joints prepared properly and a one-year guarantee.
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.
Surface by surface
Sinks & splashbacks
Next to the sink, the sealant has to cope with constant water, and a food-safe product where it’s needed. The bead is finished smooth so it wipes clean.
Baths
Acrylic baths flex the most, while steel and cast iron baths move less but still settle when full. Filling the bath first allows for that movement.
Common questions in PA72
Does someone need to be in?
That depends on where the joints are. For work indoors, someone needs to let us in, and for outside work we will agree access with you when we book.
Can you reseal around my kitchen sink and worktop?
Yes. Where it’s needed by the sink, we use a food-safe sealant.
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.
Can I choose the colour of the sealant?
White, clear and a range of colours are available. On a worktop we colour-match where the joint shows.
Can you get rid of the black mould in my sealant?
Yes, we can. The old sealant comes out, the mould is treated, and we reseal with anti-fungal sanitary silicone.
Does the resealing come with a guarantee?
Yes, for 12 months. Good ventilation and gentle cleaning help it last.
Do you do commercial work?
Yes. We’ve worked for hotels, offices and other businesses.
