Bathroom resealing for homes and businesses in Carloway
A fresh bead of silicone changes how a bathroom looks more than most people expect. Mouldy silicone makes even a new bathroom look neglected, and a neat new joint puts that right in a short visit. It also seals the gaps that let water behind the bath. We work on sinks & splashbacks, baths and basins & vanity units, and people most often call us about a joint torn by a bath that flexes and lumpy, uneven sealant from a DIY attempt.
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.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are not left on your own once the job is done.

Surface by surface
Baths
Acrylic baths give a little under load, and even steel and cast iron baths settle slightly when full. Filling the bath first allows for that movement.
Shower trays & enclosures
There are generally two jobs in a shower: the tray-to-wall joint and the enclosure joints. Both take water every day, so each is cut out and renewed with anti-fungal sanitary silicone.
DIY versus a professional finish
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that’s fine. We remove it and do the joint properly, so tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is.
How we quote for bathroom resealing
Jobs vary more than people expect. What affects the quote:
- Any working-time requirements on site
- Whether old sealant or filler has to be cut out
- Whether there’s mould to deal with
- The type of sealant required
Some things make a job bigger or smaller: the old material and how easily it comes out, any mould to treat, and whether we need extra access for height. We take all of that into account in your quote.
What we need to know
To make quoting easier, please include:
- Where the property is
- Any previous sealing or DIY work
- How many joints, rooms or windows are involved
- Any access issues, like height or stairs
Getting a quote is simple: let us know the job and the location, and roughly how big it is. A few pictures by email make the job easier to understand.

What we do, step by step
When we arrive, we start by going over the job with you, so you know exactly what we are doing. We protect the surfaces around the joints before any work starts. The work usually takes a couple of hours for one bath or shower, or most of a day for a full bathroom and kitchen. Outside jobs in Carloway 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. Indoor work goes ahead whatever the weather.
- We look at every joint first and check for movement or leaks.
- Every trace of the old bead is removed, including the thin smear on the tiles.
- The joint is cleaned, degreased and treated for mould.
- With the joint dry, and any bath loaded with water, a single bead of anti-fungal silicone is applied.
- The bead is tooled smooth and you are told the cure time, normally around 24 hours.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed
- Tell us if parking is tricky
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before
How to get a quote
A good description makes for an accurate quote. Let us know the location, the problem and roughly how many joints.

When it isn’t the sealant
A few problems are outside what sealant work can do:
- A tray or bath that’s cracked through
- Damage behind the tiles that needs a tiler
- Water getting in through the grout rather than the sealant

Common questions in Carloway
Can you do bathroom resealing in Carloway?
Yes. We work across all of Scotland, and Carloway is part of that. You can drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk and tell us what needs doing.
Is bathroom resealing in Carloway guaranteed?
Every job comes with our 12-month guarantee, wherever it is. We are also fully insured and ARBOMaster approved.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. We’re fully insured.
Can you just seal over the old silicone?
No. A bead laid over old silicone soon starts to come away, because silicone doesn’t bond to silicone. Every trace of the old bead is removed first.
Are you ARBOMaster approved?
Yes. Mr Mastic is an ARBOMaster approved applicator and we’re fully insured too.
Will the old sealant be removed?
Yes. All of the old material is cut out and the joint cleaned before applying anything new.
Do you do kitchens as well as bathrooms?
Yes. The old sealant is cut out and the joint degreased, because cooking grease stops silicone sticking, then a colour-matched bead is laid.
Can landlords and businesses book you?
Yes. Domestic, commercial and hotel work are all part of what we do, and we are fully insured.

Carloway homes and their sealant
Carloway is within about 2 miles of the coast. Near the coast, holiday lets and guest houses can see bathrooms used by one guest after another, which wears sealant and grout out faster than in a quiet home. In Scotland, private landlords have to meet the Repairing Standard, which covers keeping fixtures and fittings in a reasonable state of repair. Failed sealant around a bath or shower is worth sorting between tenancies.
Whether the job is in Carloway itself or nearby, the right material for each joint matters as much as a neat finish. Around Carloway, as everywhere, bathroom resealing is only as good as the preparation behind it.

Leave it or put it right?
Dealing with sealant early is a short job: it takes around two hours for one bath or shower, longer for a whole bathroom. Left until water gets through, the job can grow to lifting panels, drying out and decorating. In an older home around Carloway, damp from a failed joint can get into timber and plaster.
What it costs depends on the size of the job, how much old material has to come out and how easy the joints are to reach. You’ll have a clear quote before any work starts, so you know where you stand.
