Our bathroom resealing service in West Lothian
The bead of silicone around a bath, tray or worktop is what keeps water out of the gaps. When it splits, shrinks or turns black, water gets behind it. Every trace of the old sealant is taken out and replaced with anti-fungal sanitary silicone. We’re often asked to deal with leaking joints on a shower screen and cracked, shrunken or lifting silicone, on sinks & splashbacks, basins & vanity units and baths.
When we arrive, we start by going over the job with you, so there are no surprises. Surfaces next to the work are protected before any work begins. The work normally takes a morning or an afternoon for most single baths and showers.
- First, each joint is checked for movement and signs of water.
- Every trace of the old bead is removed, including the thin smear on the tiles.
- Joints are degreased and any mould is treated.
- 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, normally around 24 hours.
What you’ll pay
Instead of a standard rate, we price the job in front of us: the amount of work, the old material and the access. You will know the price before we begin.
What you get with us
- Sanitary silicone with an anti-fungal additive in wet areas
- We’re fully insured
- You choose the colour before work begins
- A choice of colours where the product allows

Bathrooms and kitchens across West Lothian
Our bathroom resealing work across West Lothian covers homes, rentals and businesses, from Livingston, Bathgate and Linlithgow to the quieter places in between. Wherever the job is, all the old material comes out before anything new goes in.
The west of Scotland is wetter than the east, but outside joints take plenty of weather everywhere, while generally soft water means less limescale indoors but no less mould. Sealants for jobs in West Lothian are chosen with that in mind. In the coastal parts of West Lothian, the sea-facing side of a building takes the most weather, and that is where sealant usually gives up first. The right product and careful preparation help it last.
Livingston: For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Inveralmond Community High School, its toilets, changing areas and kitchens need their sealant renewed like any other building’s. If you live in an older home near St Andrew's Church, bathrooms in older houses have often been refitted more than once, with sealant laid over sealant.
Surface by surface
Kitchen worktops & upstands
Worktop joints get wet and wiped every day. The new bead is colour-matched where it shows, so the line doesn’t stand out.
Shower trays & enclosures
A tray that rocks will split any sealant. We check for movement before we reseal, and tell you if it needs re-bedding first.
How we quote for bathroom resealing
For a quick quote, just ask. What matters most is:
- The product the joint needs
- The number of rooms or windows
- The old material and how stubborn it is
- Whether the work is at height
Leaving a failed joint generally makes the job bigger, not smaller. If you are unsure, send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk and we’ll give you an honest view and a quote.
What to tell us for a quote
You don’t need to know the technical terms. Just tell us:
- How many joints, rooms or windows are involved
- If someone has resealed it before
- Access, such as stairs, a lift or height
- Where the job is, and your postcode
Need a quote? Please email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk and tell us about the job. You’ll know what we plan to do, and what it will cost, before any work begins.
What sealant work cannot fix
Honest advice matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what new sealant won’t do:
- Water getting in through the grout rather than the sealant
- A tray or bath that’s cracked through
- Loose or hollow tiles, or failed tanking behind them
Work for landlords, hotels and businesses
Landlords and agents in West Lothian can book us as well as householders. Sealant work between tenants keeps a property looking cared for.
Housing providers, facilities teams and property managers book us too. Several sites can be quoted together, and we are fully insured for the work.
Why it fails
Not every tube in the shop is meant for a shower. Acrylic caulk and general-purpose sealants aren’t designed for a joint that’s wet every day, so they crack, discolour or grow mould quickly. Wet areas call for a sanitary silicone with an anti-fungal additive.
Common reasons people contact us include:
- New sealant laid over old sealant that is now lifting
- A joint torn by a bath that flexes
- Water getting behind the kitchen upstand
- Black spots spreading through the bead
West Lothian questions
Are you insured?
Yes, we’re fully insured for every job we do.
How long before the new sealant can get wet?
We give you the cure time before we leave, and it’s normally around 24 hours. Using it sooner can damage the bead.
Can you reseal around my kitchen sink and worktop?
Yes, often alongside a bathroom. Where it’s needed by the sink, we use a food-safe sealant.
Where is Mr Mastic based?
Our base is in Crawley, West Sussex, and we cover South East England, London and all of Scotland.
How much does bathroom resealing cost in West Lothian?
Size, access and the old material all affect the cost. Ask us for a quote and we will talk you through it.
Should I try DIY first?
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 get rid of the black mould in my sealant?
Yes, we can. We strip the bead, treat the joint and lay new anti-fungal silicone.
