DIY versus a professional finish
A DIY attempt does not rule out a professional job. We cut it out and start again.
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.
About our bathroom resealing in Cornhill
Mr Mastic has more than 20 years’ experience of sealant work, and our applicators reseal bathrooms and kitchens across Cornhill. We’re ARBOMaster approved and fully insured, and the work comes with a 12-month guarantee. If you have black spots spreading through the bead and water getting behind the kitchen upstand, we can help, whatever the surface.
Stone-built tenements are part of every Scottish city, alongside suburban houses and modern blocks. In a tenement, most bathrooms sit above someone else’s ceiling, so failed sealant around a bath or shower can soon become a neighbour’s problem, and that is as true in Cornhill as anywhere in the city.
We stand behind the work with a 12-month guarantee, so you are covered after we’ve gone.

Cornhill: your questions answered
Do you work for landlords with property near Aberdeen station?
Yes, we work for landlords and agents. You can drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk with the address and a few details, and we will give you a fixed price before work begins.
Do you take on hotel work around Cornhill?
Yes, hotels and guest houses are among the places we work. A room-by-room programme keeps most rooms in use while the work goes on.
Which products do you use?
We choose the sealant for the joint, not the other way round. Movement, water and weather all affect the choice.
Where are you based?
Our base is Crawley, with over 20 years’ experience. Our area covers South East England, London and Scotland.
Are you an approved applicator?
Yes. We’re ARBOMaster approved, the scheme for applicators of Arbo sealants.
Can you get rid of the black mould in my sealant?
Yes, we replace the mouldy bead. Sprays can fade the marks, but cutting it out and resealing is what lasts. Airing the room well helps stop it returning.
How long does it take to reseal a bath or shower?
A single bath or shower takes about a couple of hours, old sealant removal included. A whole bathroom plus the kitchen may take most of the day.
Do I need to be at home?
For indoor joints, yes, someone needs to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Honest limits
Sealant isn’t the answer to every problem, and we’d rather say so up front. It won’t solve:
- Leaks from a shower valve, waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
- Failed grout lines across the wall
- Loose or hollow tiles, or failed tanking behind them
If you are not sure, just email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk and we will give you a straight answer before you book.

How the visit works
We work through the job in order: protect, prepare, seal, tidy. For most jobs that takes a couple of hours for a single bath or shower and we leave things clean and tidy. In a city area like Cornhill, parking may be by permit or pay-and-display, so tell us what’s nearby. If you’re in a flat, let us know how we get in at the street door.
- We cover the area around the joints we’re working on.
- We cut away the old sealant and clean off what’s left.
- 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.
- The joint is finished neatly and we explain when it can get wet.
Getting ready for the visit
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit
- Tell us about access, such as stairs, a lift or high-level joints
- Let us know if you’ve seen damp or leaks

Common problems we fix in Cornhill
No sealant lasts indefinitely. Daily water, heat and cleaning products slowly wear it down, so its life depends on how the room is used, cleaned and aired.
People normally contact us when they notice one of these:
- A messy, uneven bead from a previous reseal
- Gaps where the bath or tray has moved
- A bead that has pulled away from the tiles
- Black mould in the silicone that will not clean off
Rented homes near Aberdeen station change hands often, and a reseal between tenants is a quick way to make the bathroom and kitchen look cared for.

Aftercare tips
How long the joints last depends on use and care. Here’s what we suggest:
- Clean with a mild bathroom cleaner and a soft cloth
- Keep scourers and sharp tools away from the bead
- Look for lifting corners and small gaps now and then
- Give the silicone its full cure time
Give the silicone time to cure before it gets wet, which is normally around 24 hours. After that, a quick wipe after showering helps keep it clean.
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. Catching it early keeps it a simple reseal.
What happens if it’s left?
A failed joint gets more costly to put right the longer it’s left. Once water is behind the bath, it can reach floorboards, panels and the ceiling underneath, and that’s a far bigger job than a reseal. In a tenement flat in Cornhill, a failed seal is rarely just your problem: water can reach the flat below, and gaps in shared walls or fire-stopping affect the whole stair.
What you pay reflects the work, not a rough estimate. That is why we ask a few questions first and give you a clear quote before any work starts.

Cornhill homes and their sealant
Cornhill is close to the coast. Coastal homes, holiday lets and guest houses can see heavy bathroom use in busy months, and sealant and grout that work that hard wear out sooner. In Scotland, private landlords have to meet the Repairing Standard, which includes keeping fixtures and fittings in reasonable repair. Tired, leaking sealant is worth putting right before a new tenant moves in.
In the older streets around St Ninian's Church, timber floors under older bathrooms flex, so joints need a sealant that moves with them. If you look after a building such as Northfield 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.
