What the job involves on each surface
Kitchen worktops & upstands
Worktop joints get wet and wiped every day. We seal them in a colour that suits the worktop.
Shower trays & enclosures
The vertical joint where a screen profile meets the wall is a common leak point. We reseal it along with the base of the enclosure, sealing the side the enclosure’s instructions call for.
Bathroom resealing in West Coates
Homes in West Coates have the same weak spots as anywhere else: the long edge of the bath, the base of the shower tray, the back of the basin and the line along the worktop. Every joint is cut out, cleaned and left dry before it’s resealed. We work on kitchen worktops & upstands, wet rooms and sinks & splashbacks, and people most often call us about cracked, shrunken or lifting silicone and water getting behind the kitchen upstand.
Stone-built tenements are part of every Scottish city, alongside suburban houses and modern blocks. 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 12-month guarantee.

What bathroom resealing looks like in West Coates
West Coates is close to the coast. Coastal homes, holiday lets and guest houses can see heavy bathroom use in busy months, and sealant and grout that work that hard wear out sooner. There are hotels and other places to stay in and around West Coates. As well as homes, we work in hotel bathrooms, where resealing and regrouting can be done room by room.
For landlords with property near Haymarket station, a reseal between tenants is a quick way to make the bathroom and kitchen look cared for. Managing a site like St Mary's Music School? 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.

Looking after it afterwards
Aftercare is simple:
- Keep scourers and sharp tools away from the bead
- Wipe up water along the back of the worktop
- Wait for the cure time we give you
- Look for lifting corners and small gaps now and then
Give the silicone time to cure before it gets wet, which is usually around 24 hours. After that, a quick wipe after showering helps keep it clean.
A failed kitchen joint is easy to miss. Splashes run behind the back edge and soak into the worktop, and the board underneath can swell. A reseal in time can save the worktop.

The process
Most of a good job is in the preparation, and we do not rush it. Every joint is cleaned and dried before new material goes in. In total, it generally takes a couple of hours for a single bath or shower. In a city area like West Coates, parking may be by permit or pay-and-display, so tell us what’s nearby. If you’re 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.
- The old silicone is cut out completely, along with the film it leaves on the tiles.
- The joint is cleaned, degreased and treated for mould.
- With the joint dry, and any bath loaded with water, a single bead of anti-fungal silicone is applied.
- The bead is tooled smooth and you are told the cure time, normally around 24 hours.
How to prepare
- Let us know about parking restrictions
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive
- Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work

- The rough size of the job

Common questions in West Coates
Do you work for hotels and guest houses in West Coates?
Yes, hospitality work, including hotels, is part of what we do. Jobs can be programmed room by room, with out-of-hours working possible to arrange.
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Haymarket station?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for, and several properties can go on one quote. You can email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk with the details for a clear quote.
Will the old sealant be removed?
Yes. Sealing over old sealant is the main reason resealing fails early, so we never do it.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes, for 12 months. Looking after the joint as we suggest helps it last.
How long does the new silicone need before I use the shower?
After around 24 hours in most cases. We’ll tell you the cure time for the product we used.
Where is Mr Mastic based?
We’re a Crawley-based firm. We work across South East England, London and Scotland.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. We are fully insured.
Do the sealants smell?
Some sealants have a smell while they cure, which fades as it sets. Opening a window helps.
Why act early in West Coates
You don’t need a new bathroom because the sealant looks bad. Replacing the joint is generally all it takes. If we find a deeper problem, you’ll hear it from us. For landlords in West Coates, damp and leaks can be a Repairing Standard issue, so it’s worth fixing failed sealant before a tenant reports it.
A few things move the cost up or down: the old material and how easily it comes out, whether mould needs treating, and whether we need extra access for height. We take all of that into account in your quote.
Why choose Mr Mastic in West Coates
- White, clear, grey or coloured to suit, where the product allows
