Bathroom Resealing in Footdee
Bathroom resealing in Footdee from a team with over 20 years’ experience. Rated 4.9 on Google from 180+ five-star reviews.
- New sealant laid over old sealant that is now lifting
- Shrunken sealant along the back of a worktop
- Black mould in the silicone that won’t clean off
Looking after it afterwards
Looking after new joints is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Keep an eye on the corners, where splits start
- Open a window or run the fan so the room dries
- Let new sealant cure fully before it gets wet
- Dry the bead with a towel now and then
Treat the new bead gently when you clean: 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.
Don’t wait for a refit to deal with failed sealant. Sealant is a maintenance item, like the paint on a window frame, and replacing it when it fails protects the rest of the room.
About our bathroom resealing in Footdee
Across Footdee, 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 are often asked to deal with water escaping at the shower enclosure and splits where the tray meets the wall, on basins & vanity units, kitchen worktops & upstands and sinks & splashbacks.
For a place like Footdee, the job is the same as anywhere: everything old is cut out, the joints are cleaned and dried, and new sealant or grout goes in. We just plan the journey and access beforehand.
Our work is backed for twelve months, in Footdee and everywhere else we cover.

Your questions about bathroom resealing in Footdee
Is Footdee within the area you cover?
Yes, Footdee is covered. Our work covers the whole of Scotland, from towns to the smallest places. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
I let a flat near Aberdeen station. Can you help?
Yes, we work for letting agents and landlords. You can email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk with the address and a few details, and we’ll give you a fixed price before we start.
Is it messy?
Not at all. We work neatly, protect the area around the joints and tidy up afterwards.
Do you guarantee your resealing?
Yes. All our work comes with a 12-month guarantee.
Do I have to be there?
Access is agreed with you when the job is booked. For inside work, that normally means someone being in.
How long before the new sealant can get wet?
We give you the cure time before we leave, and it’s usually around 24 hours. Using it sooner can damage the bead.
Do the sealants smell?
Possibly a little. It fades as the sealant cures.
What colours of sealant can you use?
White and clear are the most common choices, but other colours can be used to suit tiles and worktops. Let us know your preference when you ask for a quote.

Signs you need bathroom resealing in Footdee
Mould is the reason many people want their sealant replaced. Bathrooms without good ventilation give mould all the damp it needs, and once it has grown into the bead, cleaning rarely gets it out.
Most people get in touch after spotting something like this:
- Damp behind the bath or under the tray
- Cracked, shrunken or lifting silicone
- A reseal done over the top of the old bead
- Gaps between the worktop and the wall
If you let a flat or house near Aberdeen station, fresh sealant around the bath, shower and sink between tenancies helps a property present well and keeps leaks at bay.

The process
We bring everything the job needs with us, so there’s nothing for you to buy. After a quick look at the joints together, we protect the area and start. It normally takes a morning or an afternoon for most single baths and showers. In smaller Scottish places, parking is normally less of an issue than access and distance. Let us know how to find you and how to reach the joints, and the visit is planned around that.
- We protect the area and cut out all of the old sealant.
- We clean and degrease the joint and treat any mould.
- The joint is left to dry, and baths are filled with water first.
- We apply anti-fungal sanitary silicone in one even bead and tool it neatly.
- We clear away and tell you when it can get wet, usually after around 24 hours.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any tricky access
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before
- Clear the area around the work

Bathrooms and kitchens in Footdee
Footdee is within about 1 mile of the coast. Coastal homes, holiday lets and guest houses can see heavy bathroom use in busy months, which wears sealant and grout out faster than in a quiet home. There are hotels and other places to stay in and around Footdee. Hotel bathrooms are part of our work as well as homes, and can be done room by room.
For an older house near a landmark such as St Fittick's Church, timber floors under older bathrooms flex, so joints need a sealant that moves with them. Schools such as Torry Academy are buildings too, and its toilets, changing areas and kitchens need their sealant renewed like any other building’s.

Why act early in Footdee
A quick bead over the top of the old one might look better for a while, but it cannot stick to what’s underneath. It lifts, traps water and grows mould behind it, and the next reseal means two layers to cut out. Around Footdee, water from a failed joint in an older stone home can soak into timber and plaster.
Rather than a set price list, we look at what your job involves: how many joints, what’s in them now and how we reach them. You’ll know the price before we begin.
Why Footdee clients choose us
- We leave the area clean and tidy
- A sealant colour to suit the surroundings
- Homes, businesses and hotels
- Any old sealant cut out fully, not covered over
Can I do it myself?
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.
A DIY attempt doesn’t rule out a professional job. We remove it and do the joint properly.
