How we handle bathroom resealing in Applecross
A fresh bead of silicone changes how a bathroom looks more than most people expect. Black, patchy sealant makes clean tiles look tired, and a clean white or clear joint fixes it quickly. Just as important, it closes the gaps water would otherwise get through. We work on baths, basins & vanity units and shower trays & enclosures, and people most often call us about water escaping at the shower enclosure and cracked, shrunken or lifting silicone.
Bathrooms in smaller places like Applecross work just as hard as those in the cities. Generally soft Scottish water means less limescale, but steam still lets mould into sealant and grout.
All our work comes with a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Highland.

Do you need bathroom resealing in Applecross?
Silicone needs a clean, dry surface without any grease to stick to. Traces of soap, bath oil and old sealant stop it gripping, and a joint that looked fine soon begins to come away.
Look out for any of the following:
- Water getting behind the kitchen upstand
- New sealant laid over old sealant that is now lifting
- Black mould in the silicone that will not clean off
- A bead that has pulled away from the tiles
In and around Applecross, as anywhere, good bathroom resealing starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint.

- Whether they’re fully insured
- How the surfaces are prepared before sealing
- Which sealant they’ll use, and why
The process
A visit follows a simple pattern: we look at the joints together, mask and protect the surrounding surfaces, carry out the job and tidy away. Most jobs take half a day or less for one room, longer when the kitchen is included. In smaller Scottish places, parking is usually less of an issue than access and distance. Tell us how to find the property and how to reach the work, and the visit is planned around that.
- We look at every joint first and check for movement or leaks.
- The old silicone is cut out completely, along with the film it leaves on the tiles.
- Joints are degreased and any mould is treated.
- With the joint dry, and any bath loaded with water, a single bead of anti-fungal silicone is applied.
- We tool the bead to a neat finish and give you the cure time, generally around 24 hours.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us about any water getting in
- For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can
- Mention any sign-in or site rules at work premises

What bathroom resealing looks like in Applecross
Applecross is close to the coast. Near the coast, holiday lets and guest houses can see bathrooms used by one guest after another, and sealant and grout that work that hard wear out sooner. Scottish Water supplies are generally soft, so limescale is less of a problem than in hard-water areas. Mould is another matter: a bathroom that stays damp still turns sealant and grout black.
For an older house near a landmark such as Old Parish Church, walls and floors in older homes can move, and sealant and grout show it first.

Letting agents and landlords in Applecross can book us as well as homeowners. Resealing between tenancies keeps a property looking cared for.
Should I try it myself first?
If you are set on DIY, put the effort into preparation: take out all the old sealant, make sure the joint is clean and dry, and give it the full cure time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still put it right.
A DIY attempt doesn’t rule out a professional job. We cut it out and start again, so just mention it when you contact us.
How to look after the new joints
Good habits help new joints last longer. A few tips:
- Keep scourers and sharp tools away from the bead
- Stick to a soft cloth and a mild cleaner
- Look for lifting corners and small gaps now and then
- Give the silicone its full cure time
Check the sealant now and then. A small split or a corner lifting is easy to spot, so if something does not look right, just drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk.
A split bead lets water through every time the bath or shower is used. Over time that water reaches floors, walls and ceilings. Resealing early stops it.
Why deal with it now?
A failed joint gets more costly to put right the longer it’s left. Once water is behind the bath, it can reach floorboards, panels and the ceiling underneath, turning a small job into a building repair. When the nearest tradesperson is a drive away, it’s tempting to leave a small leak, but water through a failed joint keeps working away until it’s fixed.

Common questions in Applecross
Is there a guarantee on bathroom resealing in Applecross?
Every job comes with our one-year guarantee, wherever it is. We are fully insured, and an ARBOMaster approved applicator.
Is Applecross within the area you cover?
Yes, Applecross is covered. We work across all of Scotland, from towns to the smallest places. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
Can I choose the colour of the sealant?
Most people choose white or clear, and other colours are available to suit tiles, trays and worktops. Tell us what you’d like when you get in touch.
How long does a bath or shower reseal take?
That depends on the number of joints and the state of the old sealant. For most single baths or showers, allow a couple of hours.
Is it OK to put new sealant on top of the old bead?
No, and it’s one of the main reasons reseals fail. The old joint is stripped, cleaned and resealed from scratch.
Do you take out the old sealant first?
Yes. We cut out all the old sealant and clean the joint.
Can mouldy silicone be sorted out?
Yes. We strip the bead, treat the joint and lay new anti-fungal silicone.
Are you an approved applicator?
Yes. Mr Mastic is an ARBOMaster approved applicator, and we are fully insured.
What the job involves on each surface
Wet rooms
If a wet room leaks, the cause may be the tanking or the drain rather than the joints. We check the joints and say so if the fault looks to be elsewhere.
Baths
A bath shifts slightly every time it’s filled, so it’s filled with water before the bead goes on. That way the joint is laid with the bath at its heaviest and is not torn the first time it’s used.
