Honest advice matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what sealant can’t fix:
- A leaking waste, trap or valve
- Water getting in through the grout rather than the sealant
- Cracks in the tray itself rather than the joint

How we handle bathroom resealing in Castletown
Kitchens need the same care as bathrooms. Worktop upstands, sink edges and splashback joints get wet every single day, and water that gets into the back edge of a worktop can swell the board. Kitchen joints get a sealant suited to kitchens, colour-matched where it shows. If you have gaps where the bath or tray has moved and shrunken sealant along the back of a worktop, we can put it right, whatever the surface.
For a place like Castletown, the job is the same as anywhere: old material out, joints cleaned and dried, and a fresh, even finish. We just plan the journey and access beforehand.
Each job carries a 12-month guarantee, large or small.

Signs you need bathroom resealing in Castletown
Baths and trays move. An acrylic bath flexes under load, and a tray that isn’t fully bedded can rock. That movement works at the bead until it splits or peels away.
If you can see any of these, it’s time to have the joints looked at:
- Sealant that has split, shrunk or peeled away
- Gaps where the bath or tray has moved
- Leaks into the floor or ceiling below
- New sealant laid over old sealant that is now lifting
For an older house near a landmark such as St Trothan's Church, timber floors under older bathrooms flex, so joints need a sealant that moves with them.

What we do, step by step
You don’t need to clear the whole room or building before we come, only the area right around the joints. Everything nearby is protected, and the work takes a couple of hours for one bath or shower, or most of a day for a full bathroom and kitchen in most cases. Somewhere like Castletown 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.
- First the area is protected and every bit of old sealant removed.
- We clean and degrease the joint and treat any mould.
- We let it dry fully and fill the bath with water before sealing.
- We apply anti-fungal sanitary silicone in one even bead and tool it neatly.
- We tidy up and give you the cure time, usually around 24 hours.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive
- Tell us if parking is tricky

Castletown homes and their sealant
Castletown is within about 1 mile 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. Tired, leaking sealant is worth putting right before a new tenant moves in.
Around Castletown, as everywhere, bathroom resealing is only as good as the preparation behind it.
Castletown is about 5 miles east of Thurso, in Highland. Castletown gets the same service as everywhere we cover: the old material taken out, joints prepared properly and a 12-month guarantee. Castletown is one of 253 towns and villages in Highland we cover for bathroom resealing.

Questions from Castletown
Is bathroom resealing in Castletown guaranteed?
Every job comes with our one-year guarantee, wherever it is. We’re fully insured, and an ARBOMaster approved applicator.
Do you cover smaller places like Castletown?
Yes. Castletown is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. We work across all of Scotland. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Where are you based?
Our base is Crawley, with over 20 years’ experience. We work across South East England, London and Scotland.
Do you hold any approvals?
Yes. We are an ARBOMaster approved applicator, the approved applicator scheme for Arbo sealants.
Is it worth trying it myself?
That depends on the joint. High-level, external movement and fire-rated joints are professional jobs, while a short indoor joint may be within reach.
Do the sealants smell?
Possibly a little. Any smell clears as the sealant cures, and ventilation helps.
Are you insured?
Yes. Mr Mastic is fully insured.
Do I need to be at home?
That depends on where the joints are. Inside work needs someone to give us access, and for outside work we will agree access with you when we book.
Looking after it afterwards
A little care helps the new joints last. We recommend:
- Use gentle cleaners on the silicone
- Open a window or run the fan so the room dries
- Wipe the sealant dry after showering
- Avoid abrasive pads on the sealant
Have a look at the joints every few months. A small split or a corner lifting is easy to spot, and if anything looks wrong, just drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk.
There’s no need to wait for a full refurbishment. Sealant is a maintenance item, like the paint on a window frame, and replacing it when it fails protects the rest of the room.

DIY versus a professional finish
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. 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.
What the job involves on each surface
Kitchen worktops & upstands
Worktop joints get wet and wiped every day. The new bead is colour-matched where it shows, so the line does not stand out.
Sinks & splashbacks
Splashbacks in glass, tile or acrylic meet the worktop in a long joint. It’s resealed in white, clear or a colour to suit.
