About our bathroom resealing in Bowmore
Mr Mastic has more than 20 years’ experience of sealant work, and our applicators reseal bathrooms and kitchens across Bowmore. We’re fully insured ARBOMaster approved applicators, and the work comes with a 12-month guarantee. If you have gaps where the bath or tray has moved and leaks into the floor or ceiling below, we can put it right.
Being further from a city does not change the work: everything old is cut out, the joints are cleaned and dried, and new sealant or grout goes in. We just plan the journey and access beforehand.
Every job comes with our 12-month guarantee.

Aftercare tips
A little care helps the new joints last. Our advice:
- Look for lifting corners and small gaps now and then
- Dry worktop joints after washing up
- Run the extractor fan during and after every shower
- Dry the bead with a towel now and then
Don’t stand bottles along the bead, because they trap water against the silicone. A quick squeegee after showering keeps water from sitting on the joint.
A failed kitchen joint is easy to miss. Splashes run behind the back edge and soak into the worktop, where it can make the board swell. Resealing before that happens protects the worktop.
DIY versus a professional finish
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. New silicone won’t bond to old, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. Everything old must be removed first.
Not every job suits DIY: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs need the right product, the right access and the right method.

How the job changes by 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.
Why it’s worth doing now in Bowmore
Leaving a split or mouldy bead only stores up trouble. Once water is behind the bath, it can reach floorboards, panels and the ceiling underneath, turning a small job into a building repair. Around Bowmore, 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.
The cost reflects the work involved, not guesswork. That is why we ask a few questions first and agree the price before starting.
What you get with us
- Sanitary silicone with an anti-fungal additive in wet areas
- Fully insured
- Colour agreed with you before any work starts
- More than 20 years in sealant work

Work for landlords, hotels and businesses
Mouldy or split sealant often shows up at the end of a tenancy, and it’s quick to put right between tenancies. Several properties can be quoted together.
Water getting past a failed joint can damage the building, which matters even more when someone else lives there. Keeping joints in good order is simple maintenance.
Bowmore questions
Do you cover smaller places like Bowmore?
Yes, Bowmore is covered. Our work covers the whole of Scotland, from towns to the smallest places. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
Can you do bathroom resealing in Bowmore?
Yes. We work across all of Scotland, and Bowmore is part of that. You can drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk and let us know what needs doing, and we will send you a clear quote.
My sealant has gone black. Can you sort it?
Yes. The old sealant comes out, the mould is treated, and we reseal with anti-fungal sanitary silicone.
Can tenants book the work?
Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
Will it make a mess?
Tidy work is part of the job. Nearby surfaces are protected.
Do you have insurance?
Yes. We’re fully insured.
Does someone need to be in?
For indoor joints, yes, someone needs to let us in. Once we’ve agreed the job, you don’t need to watch us work.
How long does it take to reseal a bath or shower?
A single bath or shower takes about a couple of hours, old sealant removal included. A whole bathroom plus the kitchen may take most of the day.
When it isn’t the sealant
Honest advice matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what new sealant won’t do:
- A bath or tray that moves because it isn’t properly supported
- Leaks from a shower valve, waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
- Tiles that have come away from the wall
If you’re not sure, just send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk and we will give you a straight answer before booking.

Bathroom resealing around Bowmore
Bowmore is close to the coast. Coastal homes, holiday lets and guest houses can see heavy bathroom use in busy months, which wears sealant and grout out faster than in a quiet home. 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.
Around Bowmore, as everywhere, bathroom resealing is only as good as the preparation behind it. Whether the job is in Bowmore itself or nearby, the right material for each joint matters as much as a neat finish.

What we do, step by step
We bring everything the job needs with us. After a quick look at the joints together, we protect the area and start. Most jobs take around two hours for one bath or shower, longer for a whole bathroom. Somewhere like Bowmore 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.
- Next, the joint is cleaned and any mould is treated.
- 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.
Before we arrive
- On commercial sites, let us know about site rules
- Clear items away from the joints we are working on
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit
