Bathroom & kitchen resealing in Gremista, Shetland Islands
Baths, showers and worktops in Gremista need attention? We remove the old material, prepare the joints and seal them properly, with a 12-month guarantee.
- Splits where the tray meets the wall
- Lumpy, uneven sealant from a DIY attempt
- Two layers of silicone, both failing
What we are called out for in Gremista
Sealant laid on a damp, dusty or greasy joint never bonds properly. Traces of soap, bath oil and old sealant stop it gripping, so a rushed job can start to lift early.
Most people get in touch after spotting something like this:
- Gaps between the worktop and the wall
- Water getting behind the bath panel
- Mouldy sealant that has gone black
- Sealant that has split, shrunk or peeled away
If you live in an older home near St Margaret's Roman Catholic Church, timber floors under older bathrooms flex, so joints need a sealant that moves with them.
Before you book anyone
- Is the old sealant removed completely?
- Who does the work, and how experienced they are
- What insurance they hold
- Which colour the sealant will be
Bathroom resealing for homes and businesses in Gremista
Kitchens need the same care as bathrooms. Worktop upstands, sink edges and splashback joints get wet every single day, and water behind a laminate worktop can make it swell. Kitchen joints get a sealant suited to kitchens, colour-matched where it shows. If you have a joint torn by a bath that flexes and sealant that has split, shrunk or peeled away, we can put it right, on sinks & splashbacks, kitchen worktops & upstands and baths alike.
Bathrooms in smaller places like Gremista work just as hard as those in the cities. Generally soft Scottish water means less limescale, but steam still lets mould into sealant and grout.
You are covered for a year from the day we finish. If anything is not right with it, email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Gremista
Failed sealant is one of the commonest items on a check-out report, and it’s easy to sort out between tenants. Several properties can be quoted together.
We also work for property managers and facilities teams in Gremista and across the Shetland Islands. Several sites can go on one quote.
Different surfaces, different methods
Kitchen worktops & upstands
The joint between worktop and wall takes splashes, crumbs and cleaning sprays. We seal them in a colour that suits the worktop.
Sinks & splashbacks
Where a splashback meets the worktop, there’s a joint that catches every splash. We renew it in clear, white or a matched colour.
What else we do in Gremista
Gremista homes and their sealant
Gremista 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. Private landlords in Scotland must be registered and 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.
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Anderson High School, washroom and kitchen sealant there needs the same care as at home, and schools and businesses are part of our work as well as homes.

What’s near Gremista

What we do, step by step
Every visit runs the same way: we look at the joints together, protect the area around them, carry out the job and clear up. It normally takes half a day or less for one room, longer when the kitchen is included. Around Gremista, distance and access matter more than parking. Let us know how to find you and how to reach the joints, and the visit is planned around that.
- Protection goes down around the bath, shower or worktop.
- 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.
- We finish the joint, clear up and tell you how long to leave it before it gets wet.
Preparing for the visit
- Move anything stored near the joints
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive
- Keep children and pets away from the work area

Common questions in Gremista
Do you work in hotels near Gremista?
Yes, we work for hotels as well as homes and businesses. A room-by-room programme keeps most rooms in use while the work goes on.
Is Gremista in your area for bathroom resealing?
Yes, Gremista is within the area we cover. We work across all of Scotland. Just send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk with a few details of the job.
What should I tell you?
Just the basics: where it is, what you’ve noticed and how we reach it. After that, simply email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk.
Will you leave a mess?
We keep the work tidy. Nearby surfaces are protected.
How long will the resealing take?
That depends on the number of joints and the state of the old sealant. Allow a couple of hours for a typical bath or shower.
Is there any odour?
Possibly a little. It fades as the sealant cures.
Should I try DIY first?
That depends on the joint. Work at height, movement joints, fire-rated gaps and large areas are best left to a professional.
Do you take out the old sealant first?
Yes. All of the old material is cut out and the joint cleaned before resealing.

We do not publish a price list. What we look at:
- Whether old sealant or filler has to be cut out
- When we can work, for business premises

Why it’s worth doing now in Gremista
Sorting it now is quick: it takes half a day or less for one room, longer when the kitchen is included. Left until water gets through, the job can grow to lifting panels, drying out and decorating. Around Gremista, water from a failed joint in an older stone home can soak into timber and plaster.
The cost depends on the size of the job, how much old material has to come out and access to the work. You will have a clear quote before any work starts, so you know where you stand.
