Bathroom resealing across Highland: what to expect

Mr Mastic has more than 20 years’ experience of sealant work, and our applicators reseal bathrooms and kitchens across Highland. We’re ARBOMaster approved and fully insured, and the work comes with a 12-month guarantee. We work on basins & vanity units, sinks & splashbacks and shower trays & enclosures, and people most often call us about a messy, uneven bead from a previous reseal and water escaping at the shower enclosure.

Once we are on site, we compare the joints with what we discussed. If anything is different, we explain it before carrying on. After that, the work takes two to three hours for a typical bath, depending on how much old sealant there is.

Protection goes down around the bath, shower or worktop.
Old sealant is sliced away and the residue removed.
We treat any mould and let the joint dry properly.
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.

Bathroom resealing across Highland: local notes

Highland has homes of every age, old and new, and in places like Inverness, Nairn and Thurso there’s plenty of rented property too. Bathroom resealing keeps bathrooms and kitchens watertight and looking cared for.

We work across all of Scotland, from the cities to the islands, and Highland is part of that. Journeys are planned ahead, and outside jobs are booked around the forecast. Parts of Highland are on or near the coast, where wind-driven rain and, closer to the shore, salt air are hard on outside sealant. Joints on seaward walls tend to fail first.

Inverness: If you let a flat or house near Inverness station, a reseal between tenants is a quick way to make the bathroom and kitchen look cared for. Managing a site like Inverness High School? Then we reseal washrooms and kitchens in schools and businesses as well as homes.

Can I do it myself?

Not every job suits DIY: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas need the right product, the right access and the right method.

The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. New silicone won’t bond to old, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. All the old material has to come out first.

Honest limits

A few problems are outside what sealant work can do:

Movement from a bath with loose feet or no proper support
Water getting in through the grout rather than the sealant
A leaking waste, trap or valve

What affects the cost of bathroom resealing

We quote each job individually. These are the things that affect it:

Mould in or behind the old joints
Any working-time requirements on site
The number of rooms or windows
How easy the joints are to reach

Some things make a job bigger or smaller: how much old sealant there is and how stubborn it is, any mould to treat, and whether the work is at height. Your quote takes all of that into account.

What we need to know

The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote. When you get in contact, it helps to mention:

How many joints, rooms or windows are involved
The problem you’ve noticed
The address or postcode of the job
The type of property

It all starts with a short chat. Describe the problem, the location and the size of the job, and we’ll talk you through what we’d do. Whenever you’re ready, email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk.

Leave it or put it right?

Sorting it now is quick: it takes a couple of hours for one bath or shower, or most of a day for a full bathroom and kitchen. Left until water gets through, the job can grow to lifting panels, drying out and decorating.

What your quote should include

Whether all the old sealant comes out first
How long the guarantee is
What happens if the job turns out different
Who does the work, and how experienced they are

Signs you need bathroom resealing

Silicone needs a clean, dry surface without any grease to stick to. Traces of soap, bath oil and old sealant stop it gripping, so a rushed job can start to lift early.

Keep an eye out for these signs:

Leaking joints on a shower screen
Water getting behind the bath panel
Shrunken sealant along the back of a worktop
New sealant laid over old sealant that is now lifting

Your questions about bathroom resealing in Highland

Can landlords and businesses book you?

Yes, often. We can quote for several properties at once.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.

How long will the resealing take?

One bath or shower is around two hours’ work, including cutting out the old sealant. A full bathroom and kitchen can take most of a day.

Can you just seal over the old silicone?

No, and it’s one of the main reasons reseals fail. The old joint is stripped, cleaned and resealed from scratch.

Do the sealants smell?

Some sealants have a smell while they cure, but it fades. Opening a window helps.

Is it worth trying it myself?

That depends on the joint. High-level, external movement and fire-rated joints are professional jobs.

Can you do several jobs on one visit?

Yes, and it often makes sense. Doing several areas at once is usually more efficient, so mention them when you ask for a quote.
