Our bathroom resealing service in PH18
Before a bath is sealed, it’s filled with water. The weight settles the bath to its lowest point, so the new joint isn’t pulled apart the first time it’s used. Quick jobs often leave it out, and it makes a real difference. We work on wet rooms, kitchen worktops & upstands and basins & vanity units, and common reasons people get in touch are mouldy sealant that has gone black and gaps between the worktop and the wall.
We bring everything the job needs with us, so there’s nothing for you to buy. Once we have agreed what’s being done, we protect the area and start. Most jobs take a morning or an afternoon for most single baths and showers.
- 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.
- Baths are filled first, then anti-fungal sanitary silicone is applied in a colour to suit.
- The joint is finished neatly and we explain when it can get wet.
How we quote
A few things move the cost up or down: the old material and how easily it comes out, any mould to treat, and whether we need extra access for height. We take all of that into account in your quote.

Bathrooms and kitchens across PH18
Across PH18, from Blair Atholl, Bridge of Tilt and Old Struan 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.
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 PH18 are chosen with that in mind.
Blair Atholl: For landlords with property near Blair Atholl station, fresh sealant around the bath, shower and sink between tenancies helps a property present well and keeps leaks at bay. In and around Blair Atholl, as anywhere, good bathroom resealing starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint.
Different surfaces, different methods
Kitchen worktops & upstands
Water behind a laminate worktop can make the edge swell. A sound joint along the back edge stops that.
Basins & vanity units
A vanity top has a joint along the wall and sometimes at the sides. If water gets in, the cabinet underneath can swell, so the joint is sealed in one unbroken line.
Looking after it afterwards
How long the joints last depends on use and care. We suggest:
- Check the joints every few months for splits or lifting
- Let new sealant cure fully before it gets wet
- Do not let bottles sit on the bead
- Wipe the sealant dry after showering
In a kitchen, do not let water sit along the back of the worktop. A dry joint lasts longer.
There’s no need to wait for a full refurbishment. Sealant is a maintenance item, like the paint on a window frame, and replacing it when it fails protects the rest of the room.
What affects the cost of bathroom resealing
Jobs vary more than people expect. What affects the quote:
- Access and height
- How many areas need sealing
- Any working-time requirements on site
- The product the joint needs
Rather than a set price list, we price the job in front of us: how many joints, what’s in them now and how we reach them. You’ll know the price before we begin.
What to tell us for a quote
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote. When you ask for a quote, tell us:
- How many joints, rooms or windows are involved
- The problem you’ve noticed
- Whether it’s a home or a business
- The address or postcode of the job
For a quote, drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk and tell us where the job is and what the problem looks like. You will have a clear quote before any work starts.
Signs you need bathroom resealing
Sealant laid on a damp, dusty or greasy joint never bonds properly. Traces of soap, bath oil and old sealant stop it gripping, and a joint that looked fine soon begins to come away.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- A bead that has pulled away from the tiles
- Black spots spreading through the bead
- Two layers of silicone, both failing
- Leaking joints on a shower screen
Can I do it myself?
If you are set on DIY, put the effort into preparation: take out all the old sealant, make sure the joint is clean and dry, and give it the full cure time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still put it right.
Not every job suits DIY: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas need the right product, the right access and the right method.
FAQs for PH18
Does the resealing come with a guarantee?
Yes. All our work comes with a 12-month guarantee, and we are fully insured.
Can tenants book the work?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are glad to have it sorted.
Do you work for hotels and businesses?
Yes. We have worked for hotels, offices and other businesses.
Can you do several jobs on one visit?
Yes. Tell us about everything you’d like done.
Will the old sealant be removed?
Yes. All of the old material is cut out and the joint cleaned before applying anything new.
How long does the new silicone need before I use the shower?
We give you the cure time before we leave, and it’s usually around 24 hours. Getting it wet too early can spoil the new joint.
Do you reseal kitchen worktops and sinks too?
Yes. Where it’s needed by the sink, we use a food-safe sealant.
