Why it’s worth doing now in Garrabost
Bleach and mould sprays may lighten black marks for a while, but mould that has grown into the sealant tends to return. The lasting answer is to remove the bead and start again. Around Garrabost, 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.
We do not show prices on the website, because the cost depends so much on the job itself. Call for a quick quote and we will talk you through it.

How we handle bathroom resealing in Garrabost
Sealant is the soft line between a bath, shower or worktop and the wall. Once it cracks or goes mouldy, water starts to find its way through and into the wall or floor. Every trace of the old sealant is taken out and replaced with anti-fungal sanitary silicone. We work on basins & vanity units, shower trays & enclosures and baths, and people most often call us about water escaping at the shower enclosure and a bead that has pulled away from the tiles.
Across smaller places in Scotland, homes range from stone and harled cottages to newer houses. Where a building moves, cracked grout and split sealant are generally the first signs.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something is not right with it in that time, tell us and we will put it right.

A neglected joint can let water reach the structure, which is a bigger problem in a rented property. Keeping joints in good order is simple maintenance that we can handle for you.
Common problems we fix in Garrabost
Mould is the reason many people want their sealant replaced. Bathrooms without good ventilation give mould all the damp it needs, and mould that has grown into the silicone usually won’t clean off.
It’s worth asking for a quote if you see:

Garrabost homes and their sealant
Garrabost is within about 1 mile of 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.
In the older streets around Parish Church, walls and floors in older homes can move, and sealant and grout show it first.

What affects the quote in Garrabost
Your quote is based on your job. We take into account:
- The old material and how stubborn it is
- The amount of work
- The number of rooms or windows
- Whether the work is at height
Every job is a little different, so each one gets its own quote. The number of joints, how easy they are to reach and the sealant needed all make a difference.
Helping us quote
You do not need to know the technical terms. Just tell us:
- A few pictures by email, if you can
- The type of property
- Any previous sealing or DIY work
- Access, such as stairs, a lift or height
Every job is quoted individually, so the first step is telling us about yours. Simply send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk and describe the job.
How the job changes by surface
Shower trays & enclosures
Shower trays are sealed to the wall, and enclosures are sealed to the tray and tiles. Both take water every day, so each is cut out and renewed with anti-fungal sanitary silicone.
Basins & vanity units
A vanity top has a joint along the wall and sometimes at the sides. If water gets in, the cabinet underneath can swell, so a neat, continuous bead matters.
How it works
There isn’t much for you to do on the day. Show us the job and we’ll take it from there. The work itself takes two to three hours for a typical bath, depending on how much old sealant there is, including the tidy-up. For a place like Garrabost, longer drives are planned in advance. Mention tracks, gates, ferries or anything else about the route.
- 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.
- Joints are degreased and any mould is treated.
- 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’re told the cure time, usually around 24 hours.
Before we arrive
- Mention any parking rules near the property
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit
- Clear the area around the work

Common questions in Garrabost
Do you cover smaller places like Garrabost?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. We work across all of Scotland, including the islands, where work is planned around ferry crossings. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Is Garrabost in your area for bathroom resealing?
Yes. Our work covers the whole of Scotland, and Garrabost is part of that. You can email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk and tell us what needs doing, and we’ll give you a clear price.
Can you work on commercial sites?
Yes. Larger jobs can be planned room by room or area by area.
Is it OK to put new sealant on top of the old bead?
No. New silicone won’t bond to old silicone, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. We always take the old sealant out completely.
Can I do it myself?
Some simple jobs can be done by a careful DIYer. Most DIY failures come from sealing over old material, wet joints or too much sealant.
When can I use the bath or shower again?
Around 24 hours is typical, and we confirm the time for the product used. Getting it wet too early can spoil the new joint.
How long will the resealing take?
One bath or shower is around two hours’ work, old sealant removal included. A full bathroom and kitchen can take most of a day.
