- Water escaping at the shower enclosure
- Water getting behind the bath panel
- A joint torn by a bath that flexes
What happens on the day
On the day, we start by going over the job with you, so you know exactly what we are doing. Surfaces next to the work are protected before any work begins. The work usually takes half a day or less for one room, longer when the kitchen is included. Inside a flat in Calton, the job is planned with you; outside, shared parts may need the factor or other owners involved. Tell us which applies when you book.
- We protect the area and cut out all of the old sealant.
- Next, the joint is cleaned and any mould is treated.
- Once it’s dry, any bath is filled so the bead is laid with it at its heaviest.
- New anti-fungal silicone goes on in a colour to suit and is tooled to a clean finish.
- We tidy up and give you the cure time, generally around 24 hours.
Before we arrive
- Mention any parking rules near the property
- Keep children and pets away from the work area
- Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed

Advice
Bathroom resealing in Calton
Mr Mastic has more than 20 years’ experience of sealant work, and our applicators reseal bathrooms and kitchens across Calton. We’re ARBOMaster approved and fully insured, and every job carries our 12-month guarantee. We work on shower trays & enclosures, wet rooms and sinks & splashbacks, and the jobs we see most are black mould in the silicone that won’t clean off and damp behind the bath or under the tray.
In Scotland’s cities, including the area around Calton, many older flats had their bathrooms added into small rooms later on. Space is tight and ventilation can be poor, which is hard on sealant and grout.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

Common questions in Calton
I let a flat near Bellgrove station. Can you help?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for, and several properties can go on one quote. Just drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk with the address and what needs doing, and we’ll give you a clear quote.
Do you work in hotels near Calton?
Yes. Hotel and guest-house work is part of what we do. Jobs can be programmed room by room, with out-of-hours working possible to arrange.
What do you need from me for a quote?
A short description and the location. If we need more, we will ask.
Will you leave a mess?
No. We protect the surfaces around the joints, and we clear up the old sealant and our materials before we leave.
Do you have insurance?
Yes. Mr Mastic is fully insured, with over 20 years’ experience in sealant work.
Does the resealing come with a guarantee?
Yes. All our work comes with a 12-month guarantee.
Do you take out the old sealant first?
Always. Sealing over old sealant is the main reason resealing fails early, and it’s something we never do.
Is there any odour?
Some sealants have a smell while they cure, but it fades. Opening a window helps.
Quotes for bathroom resealing in Calton
The quote reflects the job in front of us. We take into account:
- Any working-time requirements on site
- How much old sealant there is and how hard it is to remove
- The number of rooms or windows
- Whether there’s mould to deal with
A few things move the cost up or down: the old material and how easily it comes out, whether mould needs treating, and whether the work is at height. Your quote takes all of that into account.
What we need to know
When you call or email, it’s useful to know:
- Photos by email, if that is easy
- Any access issues, like height or stairs
- Any previous sealing or DIY work
- Where the property is
We quote each job on its own. Just drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk with the details, and pictures are welcome.
What the job involves on each surface
Basins & vanity units
A vanity top has a joint along the wall and sometimes at the sides. Water that gets behind can damage the unit, so a neat, continuous bead matters.
Wet rooms
Not every wet room leak is a sealant problem. We check the joints and say so if the fault looks to be elsewhere.
How to look after the new joints
No joint lasts for ever, but care makes a real difference. Our tips:
- Give the silicone its full cure time
- Look for lifting corners and small gaps now and then
- Squeegee the walls and tray after use
- Avoid abrasive pads on the sealant
Good ventilation does more than any cleaner. Use the fan, or open a window, while you bathe and for a while afterwards, so the silicone gets a chance to dry.
A few black dots in the silicone soon become a black line. Once it’s deep in the silicone, cleaning generally will not remove it, and nearby grout often goes the same way. Replacing the sealant early keeps the job small.
Common problems we fix in Calton
Black mould is behind a lot of resealing. Steamy rooms that do not dry out keep the silicone damp for hours, and once it has grown into the bead, cleaning rarely gets it out.
These are the problems we are asked about most:
- A bead that has pulled away from the tiles
- Smears of silicone across the tiles
- Leaking joints on a shower screen
- Black spots spreading through the bead
In the older streets around Calton New Parish Church, bathrooms in older houses have often been refitted more than once, with sealant laid over sealant.

Work for landlords, hotels and businesses
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, what’s needed and the access arrangements.
Water getting past a failed joint can damage the building, which matters even more when someone else lives there. Keeping joints in good order is simple maintenance.

Calton homes and their sealant
Glasgow has a lot of sandstone tenements, where most bathrooms sit above another flat. In Scotland, private landlords have to meet the Repairing Standard, which includes keeping fixtures and fittings in reasonable repair. Failed sealant around a bath or shower is worth sorting between tenancies.
Letting a property close to Bellgrove station? Then a reseal between tenants is a quick way to make the bathroom and kitchen look cared for.
