Should I try it myself first?
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, such as a straightforward joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
Some jobs are best left to a professional: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs need the right product, the right access and the right method.
Bathroom resealing for homes and businesses in Ardlui
The bead of silicone around a bath, tray or worktop is what keeps water out of the gaps. Once it cracks or goes mouldy, water starts to find its way through into walls, panels and floors. Our team cut the old bead out completely and lay a new one in anti-fungal sanitary silicone. We work on wet rooms, shower trays & enclosures and basins & vanity units, and the jobs we see most are black mould in the silicone that won’t clean off and leaking joints on a shower screen.
Being further from a city does not change the work: old material out, joints cleaned and dried, and a fresh, even finish. We just plan the journey and access beforehand.
Our work is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you are.

What sealant work can’t fix
A few problems are outside what sealant work can do:
- Damage behind the tiles that needs a tiler
- Water getting in through the grout rather than the sealant
- Water coming from the plumbing rather than the joint

Common questions in Ardlui
Do you cover Ardlui for bathroom resealing?
Yes, Ardlui is within the area we cover. Our work covers the whole of Scotland. Just send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk with a few details of the job.
Do you cover smaller places like Ardlui?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. We work across all of Scotland. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
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.
Can you do several jobs on one visit?
Yes. Several rooms, windows or areas can go on one quote.
What information do you need?
Just the basics: where it is, what you’ve noticed and how we reach it. Then drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk.
Can I do it myself?
It depends on the job. Work at height, movement joints, fire-rated gaps and large areas are best left to a professional.
When can I use the bath or shower again?
Around 24 hours is typical, and we confirm the time for the product used. Getting it wet too early can spoil the new joint.
Will you leave a mess?
No. We protect the surfaces around the joints, and we tidy up before we go.
Why deal with it now?
A clean new bead makes a room look cared for, which matters if you are letting a property or selling it. Lumpy sealant with smears on the tiles has the opposite effect. Around Ardlui, water from a failed joint in an older stone home can soak into timber and plaster, which is a far bigger job than the sealant.
Rather than a set price list, we price the job in front of us: how many joints, what’s in them now and how we reach them. You’ll know the price before we begin.
What you get with us
- White, clear, grey or another colour, product permitting

The process
We work through the job in order: protection first, then preparation, sealing and a tidy-up. Typically it takes half a day or less for one room, longer when the kitchen is included, and the area is left clean. Somewhere like Ardlui may be a longer drive, and the journey is planned ahead. Tell us about tracks, gates, a ferry crossing or anything unusual about getting there.
- We start by protecting the area and stripping out the old bead, including the film left on the tiles.
- We clean and degrease the joint and treat any mould.
- We let it dry fully and fill the bath with water before sealing.
- New anti-fungal silicone goes on in a colour to suit and is tooled to a clean finish.
- Finally we tidy up and explain the cure time before we leave.
How to prepare
- Clear the area around the work
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive
- Tell us about any previous sealing or DIY attempts

What the job involves on each surface
Basins & vanity units
Basins take less water than showers, but the joint behind them is splashed every day. Corners behind basins are where mould tends to start, so it’s cut out and renewed just like a bath joint.
Kitchen worktops & upstands
Kitchen joints need more degreasing than bathroom ones, since cooking leaves a film that stops silicone sticking. The extra cleaning is what makes the bead last.

Bathroom resealing in Ardlui: local notes
Private landlords in Scotland must be registered and meet the Repairing Standard, which covers keeping fixtures and fittings in a reasonable state of repair. Tired, leaking sealant is worth putting right before a new tenant moves in. 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.
In and around Ardlui, as anywhere, good bathroom resealing starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint.

What we are called out for in Ardlui
Black mould is behind a lot of resealing. Steamy rooms that do not dry out give mould all the damp it needs, and once it has grown into the bead, cleaning rarely gets it out.
If you can see any of these, it’s time to have the joints looked at:
- A joint torn by a bath that flexes
- Leaking joints on a shower screen
- Black spots spreading through the bead
- Leaks into the floor or ceiling below
