How bathroom resealing works in TD1
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 basins & vanity units, shower trays & enclosures and sinks & splashbacks, and the jobs we see most are two layers of silicone, both failing and gaps where the bath or tray has moved.
We keep the work tidy and contained to the area we are working on. Expect the work to take around two hours for one bath or shower, longer for a whole bathroom.
- Protection goes down around the bath, shower or worktop.
- Old sealant is sliced away and the residue removed.
- We treat any mould and let the joint dry properly.
- 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.

Around Galashiels
We work in homes and buildings around Galashiels, Public House and Galashiels Academy. There’s a railway station in Galashiels itself: Galashiels station. A little further out are Borders General Hospital (2.7 miles south-east) and Castle Holydean (4.4 miles south-east). Open spaces near Galashiels include Eildon Mid Hill.
Bathrooms and kitchens across TD1
Homes across TD1 range from older properties to new builds, and in places like Galashiels, Langlee and Tweedbank there’s plenty of rented property too. Sound sealant and clean grout keep water out and rooms looking cared for.
The west of Scotland is wetter than the east, but outside joints take plenty of weather everywhere. Sealants for jobs in TD1 are chosen with that in mind.
Galashiels: If you let a flat or house near Galashiels station, mouldy sealant is one of the first things a new tenant notices, so it’s worth renewing between lets. If you look after a building such as Galashiels Academy, 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.
Why act early?
The difference in a professional reseal is mostly what you do not see: cutting out every trace of the old bead, cleaning, treating mould and letting the joint dry. Without that preparation, the new bead will not last.

When it isn’t the sealant
Sealant isn’t the answer to every problem, and we’ll tell you before we start. Sealant won’t put right:
- Water getting in through the grout rather than the sealant
- Water coming from the plumbing rather than the joint
- A cracked shower tray or bath (that needs repair or replacement)
Aftercare tips
Good habits help new joints last longer. A few tips:
- Let new sealant cure fully before it gets wet
- Use gentle cleaners on the silicone
- Avoid abrasive pads on the sealant
- Do not leave water standing on kitchen joints
Have a look at the joints every few months. A small split or a corner lifting is easy to spot, 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
For anyone letting property in or around TD1, several properties can be quoted together. Just tell us the addresses and what each one needs.
We work for landlords and agents as well as householders. Sealant work between tenants keeps a property looking cared for.
DIY versus a professional finish
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. New silicone won’t bond to old, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. Everything old must be removed first.
Some jobs are best left to a professional: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas need the right product, the right access and the right method.
TD1: your questions answered
Is white the only colour available?
There’s a choice: clear, white and colours chosen to suit the room. We can help you pick when we quote.
Will you leave a mess?
Not at all. We work neatly, protect the area around the joints and tidy up afterwards.
Can I do it myself?
You can, for simple jobs. The key is preparation: remove all the old material and work on a clean, dry joint. If it doesn’t work out, we can redo it.
Can you do several jobs on one visit?
Yes. Just list everything you need and we will quote it together.
How much does bathroom resealing cost in TD1?
There’s no set price, as it depends on the job: how much there is, what’s there now, how we reach it and what it needs. We agree the price before any work begins.
Where are you based?
We work from Crawley. Our applicators cover TD1.
Does the resealing come with a guarantee?
Yes, for 12 months. Good ventilation and gentle cleaning help it last.
