Our bathroom resealing service in PH6
A bead that has gone black, split or come away shouldn’t be left until there’s a leak. A photo of the joints helps when you drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk, and you will get a clear quote for bathroom resealing in PH6. Common call-outs are for failed sealant on the screen profile and gaps where the bath or tray has moved, on wet rooms, kitchen worktops & upstands and sinks & splashbacks.
We work through the job in order: protect, prepare, seal, tidy. Typically it takes a couple of hours for a single bath or shower.
- 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.
- We finish the joint, clear up and tell you how long to leave it before it gets wet.
What you will pay
The cost reflects the work involved, not a rough estimate. That’s why we ask about the job first and agree the price before starting.

Bathroom resealing across PH6: local notes
From Comrie and St Fillans to its smaller places, homes across PH6 have bathrooms and kitchens of every age. Family bathrooms, rented flats and hotel en suites all need their sealant and grout renewing in time.
Scotland has its own building regulations, and homes here bring their own details: sash and case windows, harled walls and, in the towns and cities, tenement flats. PH6 is part of the area we cover across Scotland.
Comrie: If you live in an older home near Secession Church, bathrooms in older houses have often been refitted more than once, with sealant laid over sealant. In and around Comrie, as anywhere, good bathroom resealing starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint.
Looking after it afterwards
Good habits help new joints last longer. Our tips:
- Keep an eye on the corners, where splits start
- Let new sealant cure fully before it gets wet
- Wipe up water along the back of the worktop
- Squeegee the walls and tray after use
Clean the silicone with care: warm soapy water and a soft cloth do the job. Scourers and blades can nick the surface, because a damaged bead gives mould a foothold.
Do not wait for a refit to deal with failed sealant. Like paintwork, sealant needs renewing from time to time, and replacing it when it fails protects the rest of the room.
Can I do it myself?
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, such as a straightforward joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. New silicone won’t bond to old, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. All the old material has to come out first.
When it is not the sealant
Some problems need a builder, plumber or other trade rather than us:
- Water coming from the plumbing rather than the joint
- Loose or hollow tiles, or failed tanking behind them
- A tray or bath that is cracked through
What affects the cost of bathroom resealing
Some jobs are bigger than they look, and some smaller. The main factors:
- Which sealant suits the joint
- How easy the joints are to reach
- The number and length of the joints
- Working hours on commercial sites
We do not show prices on the website, because the cost depends so much on the job itself. Call for a quick quote.
Helping us quote
To help us quote quickly, please include:
- Roughly how big the job is
- The address or postcode of the job
- Whether it’s a home or a business
- Any access issues, like height or stairs
The more we know about the job, the more useful the quote. Tell us where the job is, what’s wrong and how much there is, and email photos if that is easy.
Why it fails
Silicone doesn’t last for ever. Every shower, every splash and every wipe with a cleaner take their toll over the years, and how long it lasts comes down to use, cleaning and ventilation.
Common reasons people contact us are:
- Leaking joints on a shower screen
- Gaps between the worktop and the wall
- New sealant laid over old sealant that is now lifting
- Leaks into the floor or ceiling below
PH6 questions
Do I need to be at home?
We need access to the joints, so we will agree that with you when we book. For inside work, that normally means someone being in.
Can I choose the colour of the sealant?
White and clear are the most common choices, but other colours can be used to suit tiles and worktops. Tell us what you’d like when you get in touch.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
Do you work for letting agents?
Yes, we do. Domestic, commercial and hotel work are all part of what we do, and we are fully insured.
Can you get rid of the black mould in my sealant?
Yes, by replacing the sealant. Cleaning products may lighten it, but the lasting fix is new anti-fungal silicone on a clean, treated joint. Good ventilation helps keep it away.
Will you leave a mess?
Tidy work is part of the job. We protect what’s around the joints.
What do you put in the joint?
Products from Arbo and Everbuild, among others, chosen to suit the joint. We explain the product when we quote.
