Burray Village Bathroom Resealing
Professional bathroom resealing in and around Burray Village, with every bit of old sealant taken out first and a 12-month guarantee.
- Cracked, shrunken or lifting silicone

Do you need bathroom resealing in Burray Village?
Plenty of failed sealant has been laid over the top of older sealant. New silicone won’t bond to old silicone, so it peels, leaks and hides mould behind it.
Common reasons people contact us include:
- New sealant laid over old sealant that is now lifting
- A bead that has pulled away from the tiles
- A messy, uneven bead from a previous reseal
- Shrunken sealant along the back of a worktop
In and around Burray Village, as anywhere, good bathroom resealing starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint.

How we handle bathroom resealing in Burray Village
Homes in Burray Village have the same weak spots as anywhere else: the long edge of the bath, the base of the shower tray, the back of the basin and the line along the worktop. Each one is stripped, cleaned and dried before new silicone goes in. If you’re dealing with a bead that has pulled away from the tiles and a joint torn by a bath that flexes, we can put it right, on shower trays & enclosures, kitchen worktops & upstands and baths alike.
Bathrooms in smaller places like Burray Village work just as hard as those in the cities. Limescale is less of a problem with Scotland’s generally soft water, but mould still takes hold in damp sealant and grout.
Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by our one-year guarantee.

Why it’s worth doing now in Burray Village
A failed joint gets more costly to put right the longer it’s left. Water that gets behind a bath soaks into the floor, the panel and sometimes the ceiling below, turning a small job into a building repair. In a place like Burray Village, small leaks are easy to put off, but water through a failed joint keeps working away until it’s fixed.

Bathroom resealing around Burray Village
Burray Village is close to 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. In Scotland, private landlords have to meet the Repairing Standard, which includes keeping fixtures and fittings in reasonable repair. Tired, leaking sealant is worth putting right before a new tenant moves in.
Whether the job is in Burray Village itself or nearby, the right material for each joint matters as much as a neat finish.

DIY versus a professional finish
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions, then guaranteed for a year.
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.
What we do, step by step
At the end, we look at the finished work together. The work normally takes two to three hours for a typical bath, depending on how much old sealant there is, depending on how much there is to do. Outside jobs in Burray Village need a dry day, because sealant won’t bond to a wet joint, so external jobs may need to move if the day turns wet. Work indoors isn’t affected.
- We cover the area around the joints we’re working on.
- 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.
How to prepare
- Let us know if you’ve seen damp or leaks
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit
- Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints

FAQs for Burray Village
Is bathroom resealing in Burray Village guaranteed?
Every job comes with our 12-month guarantee, wherever it is. We’re fully insured, and an ARBOMaster approved applicator.
Do you cover smaller places like Burray Village?
Yes, we do. We work across all of Scotland, islands included, and smaller places are part of that. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
How long does it take to reseal a bath or shower?
It depends on how many joints there are and how much old sealant has to come out. Allow a couple of hours for a typical bath or shower.
Can you quote for more than one area?
Yes. More than one area can be quoted together.
Can new silicone go straight over the old?
No. Sealing over the top looks fine for a few weeks, then lifts. Every trace of the old bead is removed first.
Will it make a mess?
We keep the work tidy. Nearby surfaces are protected, and we clear up when we’re done.
Do the sealants smell?
Possibly a little. Any smell clears as the sealant cures, and ventilation helps.
Where is Mr Mastic based?
We work from Crawley. Our applicators cover Burray Village, along with the rest of our area.
