Bathroom resealing in Craigiebank
With over 20 years in the trade, we reseal baths, showers and kitchens in homes across Craigiebank. We’re ARBOMaster approved and fully insured, and the work comes with a 12-month guarantee. We work on baths, kitchen worktops & upstands and sinks & splashbacks, and the jobs we see most are mouldy sealant that has gone black and two layers of silicone, both failing.
Stone-built tenements are part of every Scottish city, alongside houses and newer flats. 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.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you’re not left on your own once the job is done.

Common questions in Craigiebank
I’m in a tenement in Craigiebank. Could worn sealant affect the flat downstairs?
Yes, it can. In a tenement, water that gets past failed sealant or cracked grout can run under the bath or tray and through to the ceiling below. Replacing tired sealant early is the simplest way to avoid that.
Do you work for hotels and guest houses in Craigiebank?
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.
What should I tell you?
Tell us what needs doing and where, plus photos if you have them. We will ask anything else we need to know.
Is there any odour?
Sometimes, a little. Any smell clears as the sealant cures.
Do you guarantee your resealing?
Yes. Our one-year guarantee covers every job, and we’re ARBOMaster approved applicators.
Do you reseal kitchen worktops and sinks too?
Yes. The old sealant is cut out and the joint degreased, because cooking grease stops silicone sticking, then we reseal in a colour to suit.
Which products do you use?
Quality sealants from brands including Arbo and Everbuild, picked for each joint. We will tell you what we are using and why.
What does bathroom resealing cost?
Size, access and the old material all affect the cost. Call for a quick quote and we will talk you through it.

Different surfaces, different methods
Shower trays & enclosures
Water often gets past the wall profile of a shower enclosure. It’s resealed along with the tray joints, following the enclosure maker’s guidance on which side to seal.
Sinks & splashbacks
The edge of an inset sink is a common place for water to get under the worktop. We reseal the visible edge of the sink where it has failed.
What happens if it’s left?
The difference in a professional reseal is mostly what you don’t see: cutting out every trace of the old bead, cleaning, treating mould and letting the joint dry. Without that preparation, the new bead won’t last. Wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint on the outside of a city building, and in a tall building in Craigiebank, damp can travel a long way before it shows.
Commercial jobs are quoted on the same basis as homes: the amount of work, the access and the products needed, plus any working-time requirements on site. Call for a quick quote and we will explain what it covers.

How the visit works
On the day, we look over the joints with you first. Surfaces next to the work are protected before any work begins. The work generally takes half a day or less for one room, longer when the kitchen is included. In a Scottish city, a lot of jobs are in tenement flats, up a common stair from a shared close. In Craigiebank, it helps to know the floor, the door entry arrangements and the nearest parking.
- We start by protecting the area and stripping out the old bead, including the film left on the tiles.
- We clean and degrease the joint and treat any mould.
- We let it dry fully and fill the bath with water before sealing.
- A single bead of anti-fungal sanitary silicone is applied and tooled smooth.
- We clear away and tell you when it can get wet, usually after around 24 hours.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us if parking is tricky
- Tell us about any previous sealing or DIY attempts
- Clear items away from the joints we’re working on

What we can’t put right
To be straight with you, there are a few things sealant will not fix:
- A tray that rocks until it’s re-bedded
- Damage behind the tiles that needs a tiler
- Failed grout lines across the wall
Not sure which it is? You can send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk and we will tell you honestly before you book.

What bathroom resealing looks like in Craigiebank
Craigiebank is within about 1 mile of the coast. Near the coast, holiday lets and guest houses can see bathrooms used by one guest after another, and sealant and grout that work that hard wear out sooner. There are hotels and other places to stay in and around Craigiebank. Hotel bathrooms are part of our work as well as homes, and can be done room by room.
If you let a flat or house near Dundee station, a reseal between tenants is a quick way to make the bathroom and kitchen look cared for. Schools such as Craigie High School are buildings too, and its toilets, changing areas and kitchens need their sealant renewed like any other building’s.

Do you need bathroom resealing in Craigiebank?
Not every tube in the shop is meant for a shower. Decorators’ caulk and all-purpose sealants aren’t made for constant wetting, so they stain, crack or go mouldy before long. Wet areas call for a sanitary silicone with an anti-fungal additive.
People generally contact us after spotting one of these:
- Leaking joints on a shower screen
- A reseal done over the top of the old bead
- Water getting behind the kitchen upstand
- Lumpy, uneven sealant from a DIY attempt
For an older house near a landmark such as Craigiebank Parish Church, bathrooms in older houses have often been refitted more than once, with sealant laid over sealant.
What your quote should include
- Whether all the old sealant comes out first
- How long the guarantee is
- What the cure time is
- Who turns up on the day
How to look after the new joints
Good habits help new joints last longer. A few tips:
- Wait for the cure time we give you
- Do not leave water standing on kitchen joints
- Dry the bead with a towel now and then
- Avoid abrasive pads on the sealant
Keep water off the new bead until it has cured, which is generally around 24 hours. After that, a quick wipe after showering helps keep it clean.
Watch for the early signs: a corner lifting, a gap behind the bead, a dark line under the silicone or a damp patch on the ceiling below. Any of these means the joint needs attention.
