- Damp behind the bath or under the tray
- Gaps where the bath or tray has moved
- Sealant that has split, shrunk or peeled away
What we do, step by step
There’s no need to move everything out before we come, just the space around the work. We protect the rest, and the job takes half a day or less for one room, longer when the kitchen is included in most cases. Parking in city streets around Dryburgh can be tight or controlled, so it helps to know about permits or nearby bays. For flats, mention the door entry system and any shared-stair arrangements.
- We look at every joint first and check for movement or leaks.
- Every trace of the old bead is removed, including the thin smear on the tiles.
- The joint is cleaned, degreased and treated for mould.
- 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, usually around 24 hours.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before
- Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit

Advice
Bathroom resealing for homes and businesses in Dryburgh
Across Dryburgh, the joints we reseal are the ones that fail in any home: the long edge of the bath, the base of the shower tray, the back of the basin and the line along the worktop. Each one is stripped, cleaned and dried before new silicone goes in. We work on wet rooms, basins & vanity units and baths, and common reasons people get in touch are shrunken sealant along the back of a worktop and damp behind the bath or under the tray.
In Scotland’s cities, including the area around Dryburgh, 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.
Each job carries a 12-month guarantee, whatever its size.

Surface by surface
Basins & vanity units
Basins take less water than showers, but the joint behind them is splashed every day. Old sealant there often goes black at the corners, and we treat it exactly as we would a bath.
Shower trays & enclosures
The vertical joint where a screen profile meets the wall is a common leak point. It’s resealed along with the tray joints, sealing the side the enclosure’s instructions call for.
Looking after it afterwards
After the cure time, these simple habits help:
- Give the silicone its full cure time
- Clean with a mild bathroom cleaner and a soft cloth
- Move toiletries away from the joint
- Open a window or run the fan so the room dries
Clean the silicone with care: a mild bathroom cleaner and a soft cloth is enough. Scourers and blades can nick the surface, because a damaged bead gives mould a foothold.
Watch for the early signs: lifting ends, gaps, dark shadows under the bead or a stain downstairs. If you spot one, it’s time to reseal.
Can I do it myself?
A DIY attempt doesn’t rule out a professional job. We remove it and do the joint properly, so just mention it when you contact us.
If you are set on DIY, put the effort into preparation: take out all the old sealant, make sure the joint is clean and dry, and give it the full cure time. If it fails, we can still redo it.
What we’re called out for in Dryburgh
Silicone needs a clean, dry surface without any grease to stick to. Soap residue, oils and leftover silicone film all get in the way, so a rushed job can start to lift early.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- Water getting behind the kitchen upstand
- Black mould in the silicone that won’t clean off
- A messy, uneven bead from a previous reseal
- Damp behind the bath or under the tray
Letting a property close to Invergowrie station? Then mouldy sealant is one of the first things a new tenant notices, so it’s worth renewing between lets.
Questions to ask before booking
- Which colour the sealant will be
- How the surfaces are prepared before sealing
- Whether VAT is included
- What product goes in the joint
Bathrooms and kitchens in Dryburgh
Dryburgh is close to 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. 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.
Managing a site like Menzieshill High School? Then its toilets, changing areas and kitchens need their sealant renewed like any other building’s. If you live in an older home near Lochee Baptist Church, older homes can move a little, which is hard on rigid grout and tired sealant.

Your questions about bathroom resealing in Dryburgh
Do you work in hotels near Dryburgh?
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.
Could a leaking bath seal in my Dryburgh flat reach the neighbours below?
It can. Tenement floors are generally timber, and water from a failed seal can find its way down to the flat below, and then the repair involves your neighbours too. Replacing tired sealant early is the simplest way to avoid that.
When can I use the bath or shower again?
Silicone is touch-dry quite quickly, but it takes longer to cure. Keep water off it for around 24 hours, or follow the cure time we give you.
How much does bathroom resealing cost in Dryburgh?
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. You will get a clear quote before any work starts.
Do the sealants smell?
Possibly a little. Any smell clears as the sealant cures.
Are you insured?
Yes. Full insurance covers our work.
Are you an approved applicator?
Yes. Mr Mastic is an ARBOMaster approved applicator and we’re fully insured too.
What sealant do you use?
We choose the sealant for the joint, not the other way round. Movement, water and weather all affect the choice, and we will tell you what we are using.
What happens if it’s left?
Fresh sealant smartens a bathroom or kitchen with very little disruption, which helps when a home is being let or put on the market. Lumpy sealant with smears on the tiles has the opposite effect, and it’s harder to put right later. In a Scottish city tenement, failed sealant affects more than one flat: a leak can come through the ceiling below, and gaps in shared walls or fire-rated joints matter to every flat.
Rather than a set price list, we price the job in front of us: the amount of work, the old material and the access. You’ll know the price before we begin.
