How we handle bathroom resealing in Charlestown
It is not only bathrooms. Worktop upstands, sink edges and splashback joints all take splashes every day, and water behind a laminate worktop can make it swell. Kitchen joints get a sealant suited to kitchens, colour-matched where it shows. We work on wet rooms, shower trays & enclosures and basins & vanity units, and the jobs we see most are failed sealant on the screen profile and a joint torn by a bath that flexes.
In and around a place like Charlestown, homes range from older stone-built properties to newer houses. Older buildings can move a little, and that shows first in cracked grout and split sealant.
Our work is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you are.

What happens on the day
Our applicators work methodically: protection first, then preparation, sealing and a tidy-up. Typically it takes a couple of hours for a single bath or shower, and the area is left clean. For a place like Charlestown, longer drives are planned in advance. Mention tracks, gates, ferries or anything else about the route.
- We protect the area and cut out all of the old sealant.
- We clean and degrease the joint and treat any mould.
- We let it dry fully and fill the bath with water before sealing.
- 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.
Preparing for the visit

Can I do it myself?
A DIY attempt doesn’t rule out a professional job. We remove it and do the joint properly, so just mention it when you contact us.
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. Silicone doesn’t stick to old silicone, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. Everything old must be removed first.
What bathroom resealing looks like in Charlestown
Charlestown 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. Scottish Water supplies are generally soft, so limescale is less of a problem than in hard-water areas. But mould still grows into sealant and grout in a room that does not dry out.
For landlords with property near Inverness station, mouldy sealant is one of the first things a new tenant notices, so it’s worth renewing between lets.

Honest limits
New sealant can’t fix everything, and we’d rather say so up front. It won’t solve:
- Water coming from the plumbing rather than the joint
- Tiles that have come away from the wall
- Movement from a bath with loose feet or no proper support
If in doubt, drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk and we will say what we think.

Common questions in Charlestown
Do you cover Charlestown for bathroom resealing?
Yes, Charlestown is within the area we cover. Our work covers the whole of Scotland. Just drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk with a few details of the job, and we’ll send you a clear quote.
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Inverness station?

Is white the only colour available?
White, clear and a range of colours are available. On a worktop we colour-match where the joint shows.
Will it make a mess?
Not at all. The area is protected while we work and cleaned up afterwards.
What sealant do you use?
It depends on the joint: anti-fungal sanitary silicone in wet areas, and other sealants where joints move or face the weather. We use products from Arbo and Everbuild.
My sealant has gone black. Can you sort it?
Yes. Mould inside the bead rarely cleans out for good, so the bead comes out, the joint is treated and new anti-fungal silicone goes in.
Do I need to be at home?
It depends on the job. For work indoors, someone needs to let us in.
How long does a bath or shower reseal take?
That depends on the number of joints and the state of the old sealant. For most single baths or showers, allow a couple of hours.

How to look after the new joints
Aftercare is simple:
- Do not let bottles sit on the bead
- Check the joints every few months for splits or lifting
- Wipe the sealant dry after showering
- Stick to a soft cloth and a mild cleaner
Clean the silicone with care: a mild bathroom cleaner and a soft cloth is enough. Avoid scouring pads and anything sharp, because a damaged bead gives mould a foothold.
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.
Common problems we fix in Charlestown
Older sealant shrinks and hardens. Along worktops it tends to pull back from the wall, leaving a thin gap where water and food collect. Hot pans and harsh cleaners don’t help.
If you can see any of these, it’s time to have the joints looked at:
- New sealant laid over old sealant that is now lifting
- Smears of silicone across the tiles
- Leaking joints on a shower screen
- Black mould in the silicone that will not clean off
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Inverness High School, its toilets, changing areas and kitchens need their sealant renewed like any other building’s.
Questions to ask before booking
- How long to leave it before use
- Are they insured?
- The length of the guarantee
- Whether they seal over old material or remove it
What the job involves on each surface
Basins & vanity units
Basin joints are short and close to eye level: the bead is right in front of you, so it’s tooled cleanly and evenly, finished in a colour that suits the basin.
Wet rooms
Not every wet room leak is a sealant problem. We check the joints and say so if the fault looks to be elsewhere.
