- New sealant laid over old sealant that is now lifting
- Gaps where the bath or tray has moved
- A messy, uneven bead from a previous reseal
DIY sealant or a professional job?
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. Silicone doesn’t stick to old silicone, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. All the old material has to come out first.
A DIY attempt doesn’t rule out a professional job. We remove it and do the joint properly.
Bathroom resealing in Borgh, done properly
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 neat new joint puts that right in a short visit. It also seals the gaps that let water behind the bath. Common call-outs are for black spots spreading through the bead and water escaping at the shower enclosure, across wet rooms, basins & vanity units and shower trays & enclosures.
Across smaller places in Scotland, homes range from stone and harled cottages to newer houses. Where a building moves, cracked grout and split sealant are generally the first signs.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything is not right with it, send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk.

What we can’t put right
Honest advice matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what sealant can’t fix:
- A tray that rocks until it’s re-bedded
- Damage behind the tiles that needs a tiler
- Water coming from the plumbing rather than the joint
Not sure which it is? You can send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk and we’ll tell you honestly.
Surfaces we seal
- Baths
- Basins & vanity units
- Kitchen worktops & upstands
- Shower trays & enclosures
- Sinks & splashbacks
- Wet rooms
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, as long as the fittings themselves are sound. If something else is wrong, we will tell you. In a place like Borgh, small leaks are easy to put off, but water behind a failed seal does the most damage when nobody’s watching.
Instead of a standard rate, we look at what your job involves: the amount of work, the old material and the access. The price is agreed before we begin.

What bathroom resealing looks like in Borgh
Borgh is within about 1 mile of 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. 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.
Around Borgh, as everywhere, bathroom resealing is only as good as the preparation behind it.
Borgh (Gaelic: Borve) is in Na h-Eileanan Siar. Wherever you are in the HS2 postcode area, our applicators can take on bathroom resealing. Borgh is one of 87 towns and villages in Na h-Eileanan Siar where we work.

The process
You don’t need to clear the whole room or building, only the area right around the joints. Everything nearby is protected, and the job takes half a day or less for one room, longer when the kitchen is included in most cases. For a place like Borgh, longer drives are planned in advance. 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.
- The joint is left to dry, and baths are filled with water first.
- A single bead of anti-fungal sanitary silicone is applied and tooled smooth.
- Finally we tidy up and explain the cure time before we leave.
Getting ready for the visit
- On commercial sites, let us know about site rules
- For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can
- Tell us about access, such as stairs, a lift or high-level joints

Do you need bathroom resealing in Borgh?
Older sealant shrinks and hardens. In kitchens it often shrinks away from the back edge, leaving a thin gap where water and food collect. Heat from the hob and strong sprays speed it along.
If you can see any of these, it’s time to have the joints looked at:
- Sealant that has split, shrunk or peeled away
- A messy, uneven bead from a previous reseal
- Leaks into the floor or ceiling below
- New sealant laid over old sealant that is now lifting
For jobs in and around Borgh, choosing the right material for each joint is as important as a tidy finish.
What to look for in a quote
- How long the guarantee is
- What product goes in the joint
- What preparation is included
- Whether they seal over old material or remove it
What the job involves on each surface
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 isn’t torn the first time it’s used.
Kitchen worktops & upstands
Laminate worktops swell if water gets into the core. A continuous bead along the back keeps water out.
