What we do, step by step
There isn’t much for you to do on the day. Show us the job and we’ll take it from there. The work itself takes two to three hours for a typical bath, depending on how much old sealant there is, including the tidy-up. Parking in city streets around Stobswell can be tight or controlled, so it helps to know about permits or nearby bays. If you are in a flat, let us know how we get in at the street door.
- First, each joint is checked for movement and signs of water.
- 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.
- The bead is tooled smooth and you are told the cure time, usually around 24 hours.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us about any water getting in
- Move anything stored near the joints
- For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can

Bathroom resealing in Stobswell
A fresh bead of silicone changes how a bathroom looks more than most people expect. Mouldy silicone makes even a new bathroom look neglected, and a neat new joint puts that right in a short visit. It also seals the gaps that let water behind the bath. Typical jobs include splits where the tray meets the wall and water getting behind the bath panel, on shower trays & enclosures, baths and wet rooms.
In Scotland’s cities, including the area around Stobswell, many older flats had their bathrooms added into small rooms later on. Rooms like that are often small and slow to dry out, which is hard on sealant and grout.
Every job is covered by our one-year guarantee.

When to call us in Stobswell
Baths and trays move. An acrylic bath flexes under load, and a tray that isn’t fully bedded can rock. That movement works at the bead until it splits or peels away.
These are the problems we’re asked about most:
- A joint torn by a bath that flexes
- New sealant laid over old sealant that is now lifting
- Smears of silicone across the tiles
- Leaking joints on a shower screen
In the older streets around St Patrick's R.C. Church, older homes can move a little, which is hard on rigid grout and tired sealant.

Your questions about bathroom resealing in Stobswell
Do you work in hotels near Stobswell?
Yes, we work for hotels as well as homes and businesses. A room-by-room programme keeps most rooms in use while the work goes on.
I let a flat near Dundee station. Can you help?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. You can send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk with the address and a few details, and we will give you a fixed price before we start.
What should I tell you?
Just the basics: where it is, what you’ve noticed and how we reach it. After that, simply send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk.
Where is Mr Mastic based?
We are a Crawley-based firm. We work across South East England, London and Scotland.
Can you just seal over the old silicone?
No, never. Sealing over the top looks fine for a few weeks, then lifts. Every trace of the old bead is removed first.
Will the old sealant be removed?
Yes, every time. New silicone does not stick to old silicone, so the joint is cleaned back first.
Can I choose the colour of the sealant?
We can use white, clear or a colour to suit. Where the joint is on show, we match it to the surface.
Do you cover Stobswell?
Yes, we do. Stobswell is part of the area we cover.

What bathroom resealing looks like in Stobswell
Stobswell is close to 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. Scotland’s water is generally soft, so sealant and grout see less limescale than in much of England. But mould still grows into sealant and grout in a room that doesn’t dry out.
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. Managing a site like Morgan Academy? Then 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.

Different surfaces, different methods
Wet rooms
If a wet room leaks, the cause may be the tanking or the drain rather than the joints. We reseal the joints and will tell you if the water seems to be coming from somewhere else.
Baths
Most bath leaks begin along the long edge, particularly where there’s a shower over the bath. It gets one smooth bead of anti-fungal silicone.

What else we do in Stobswell
Honest limits
To be straight with you, some problems need a different trade:
- Failed grout lines across the wall
- Cracks in the tray itself rather than the joint
- A tray that rocks until it’s re-bedded
If you’re not sure, just drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk and we will give you a straight answer.
Where we work in Stobswell
- Sinks & splashbacks
- Basins & vanity units
- Wet rooms
- Kitchen worktops & upstands
- Baths
- Shower trays & enclosures
Should I try it myself first?
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that is fine. We remove it and do the joint properly.
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions, and the work is guaranteed for a year.
How to look after the new joints
How long the joints last depends on use and care. We suggest:
- Dry the bead with a towel now and then
- Wipe up water along the back of the worktop
- Keep scourers and sharp tools away from the bead
- Run the extractor fan during and after every shower
Don’t stand bottles along the bead, as they hold water against it. Squeegeeing the walls and tray after use keeps water from sitting on the joint.
Worktop joints fail quietly. Water gets behind the upstand and into the edge of a laminate worktop, and the board underneath can swell. A reseal in time can save the worktop.
