How the visit works
You don’t need to clear the whole room or building before we come, only the area right around the joints. Everything nearby is protected, and the work takes a morning or an afternoon for most single baths and showers for a typical job. Outdoor work around Tranent depends on the weather, as sealant needs a dry surface, so external jobs may need to move if the day turns wet. Indoor work goes ahead whatever the weather.
- We cover the area around the joints we’re working on.
- We cut away the old sealant and clean off what’s left.
- Mould is treated, then the joint is left to dry thoroughly.
- 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.
Before we arrive
- Let us know if you’ve seen damp or leaks
- Tell us about access, such as stairs, a lift or high-level joints
- Clear items away from the joints we’re working on

Bathroom resealing in Tranent, done properly
Sealant that is mouldy, cracked or peeling is worth sorting before it lets water through. Just email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk with a photo of the joints, and we will give you a clear price before any work starts. Common call-outs are for a reseal done over the top of the old bead and water getting behind the bath panel, across baths, wet rooms and kitchen worktops & upstands.
In and around a place like Tranent, homes range from older stone-built properties to newer houses. Older buildings can move a little, and that shows first in cracked grout and split sealant.
A 12-month guarantee comes as standard, so you’re not left on your own once the job is done.

How to look after the new joints
Looking after new joints is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Keep scourers and sharp tools away from the bead
- Dry the bead with a towel now and then
- Dry worktop joints after washing up
- Run the extractor fan during and after every shower
Check the sealant now and then. A small split or a corner lifting is easy to spot, so if something doesn’t look right, just send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk.
A failed kitchen joint is easy to miss. Water gets behind the upstand and into the edge of a laminate worktop, where it can make the board swell. A reseal in time can save the worktop.
Tranent homes and their sealant
Tranent is close to the coast. Near the coast, holiday lets and guest houses can see bathrooms used by one guest after another, which wears sealant and grout out faster than in a quiet home. Private landlords in Scotland must be registered and meet the Repairing Standard, which covers keeping fixtures and fittings in a reasonable state of repair. Failed sealant around a bath or shower is worth sorting between tenancies.
If you look after a building such as Ross High School, its toilets, changing areas and kitchens need their sealant renewed like any other building’s.

What affects the quote in Tranent
Jobs vary more than people expect. What affects the quote:
- Mould in or behind the old joints
- How much old sealant there is and how hard it is to remove
- How many rooms, windows or areas are involved
- The number and length of the joints
Some things make a job bigger or smaller: how much old sealant there is and how stubborn it is, whether mould needs treating, and whether we need extra access for height. Your quote takes all of that into account.

What happens if it’s left?
Tired sealant is not a reason to replace a bath or shower. Replacing the joint is usually all it takes, provided the bath, tray and tiles are in good order. If we find a deeper problem, you’ll hear it from us. Exposed walls in smaller Scottish places take a lot of wind and rain, and damp in stone or harled walls takes a long time to dry once water gets behind a joint.
Doing several joints on one visit normally makes better use of the time than several visits, so tell us about everything that needs sealing. We will give you a clear price for the lot.
Why book with us
- Approved under the ARBOMaster scheme
- Colour picked to suit the job
- We agree the colour with you first
- Quality sealants from Arbo and Everbuild

Surface by surface
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, following the enclosure maker’s guidance on which side to seal.
Basins & vanity units
Vanity units have long, worktop-style joints against the wall. If water gets in, the cabinet underneath can swell, so the joint is sealed in one unbroken line.
Do you need bathroom resealing in Tranent?
With age, silicone loses its stretch. Along worktops it tends to pull back from the wall, opening a hairline gap that lets water and crumbs in. Heat from the hob and strong sprays speed it along.
People usually contact us when they notice something like this:
- Gaps where the bath or tray has moved
- Lumpy, uneven sealant from a DIY attempt
- Leaking joints on a shower screen
- Leaks into the floor or ceiling below
Letting a property close to Prestonpans station? Then mouldy sealant is one of the first things a new tenant notices, so it’s worth renewing between lets.

Questions from Tranent
Is Tranent within the area you cover?
Yes, Tranent is covered. Our work covers the whole of Scotland, and smaller places are part of that. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
Do you cover Tranent for bathroom resealing?
Yes. Our work covers the whole of Scotland, and Tranent is part of that. Just send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk with a few details of the job.
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.
Can mouldy silicone be sorted out?
Yes. Once mould has grown into the silicone, it usually cannot be cleaned out for good, so the bead comes out, the joint is treated and new anti-fungal silicone goes in.
Will you leave a mess?
Very little: the area around the joints is protected first, and we tidy up before we go.
Is it worth trying it myself?
That depends on the joint. Work at height, movement joints, fire-rated gaps and large areas are best left to a professional.
Where is Mr Mastic based?
Our base is Crawley. We work across South East England, London and Scotland.
How long before the new sealant can get wet?
After around 24 hours in most cases. We’ll tell you the cure time for the product we used.
