When to call us in Grimbister
Black mould is behind a lot of resealing. Bathrooms without good ventilation keep the silicone damp for hours, and once it has grown into the bead, cleaning rarely gets it out.
These are the problems we’re asked about most:
- Black mould in the silicone that won’t clean off
- A messy, uneven bead from a previous reseal
- Gaps where the bath or tray has moved
- Sealant that has split, shrunk or peeled away
In and around Grimbister, as anywhere, good bathroom resealing starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint.

Bathroom resealing for homes and businesses in Grimbister
Across Grimbister, the joints we reseal are the ones that fail in any home: the long edge of the bath, the base of the shower tray, the back of the basin and the line along the worktop. Each one is stripped, cleaned and dried before new silicone goes in. If you are dealing with damp behind the bath or under the tray and failed sealant on the screen profile, we can help.
Bathrooms in smaller places like Grimbister work just as hard as those in the cities. Limescale is less of a problem with Scotland’s generally soft water, but mould still takes hold in damp sealant and grout.
All our work is covered by our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in the Orkney Islands.

Bathroom resealing in Grimbister: local notes
Grimbister is close to 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 includes keeping fixtures and fittings in reasonable repair. Failed sealant around a bath or shower is worth sorting between tenancies.
Whether the job is in Grimbister itself or nearby, the right material for each joint matters as much as a neat finish.

Questions from Grimbister

What guarantee comes with bathroom resealing in Grimbister?
Every job comes with our one-year guarantee, wherever it is. We are fully insured, and an ARBOMaster approved applicator.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are glad to have it sorted.
Do you work for letting agents?
Yes, we do. Domestic, commercial and hotel work are all part of what we do.
What should I tell you?
Where the job is, what the problem is and roughly how big it is. If you can, email a few pictures.
Are you ARBOMaster approved?
Yes. We’re approved under the ARBOMaster scheme, the approved applicator scheme for Arbo sealants.
How do I get a quote for bathroom resealing in Grimbister?
We do not publish prices, because the cost depends on the job: how much there is, what’s there now, how we reach it and what it needs. You’ll get a clear quote before we start.
Will it make a mess?
Not at all. We work neatly, protect the area around the joints and tidy up afterwards.
What we do, step by step
Our applicators work methodically: protect, prepare, seal, tidy. For most jobs that takes a morning or an afternoon for most single baths and showers and we leave things clean and tidy. Outdoor work around Grimbister depends on the weather, as sealant needs a dry surface, so external jobs may need to move if the day turns wet. Indoor work goes ahead whatever the weather.
- First, each joint is checked for movement and signs of water.
- Every trace of the old bead is removed, including the thin smear on the tiles.
- The joint is cleaned, degreased and treated for mould.
- When the joint is dry, and a bath has been filled with water, the new silicone goes on.
- We tool the bead to a neat finish and give you the cure time, usually around 24 hours.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any tricky access
- Clear items away from the joints we’re working on
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before

When something else is needed
To be straight with you, some problems need a different trade:
- A tray or bath that’s cracked through
- Loose or hollow tiles, or failed tanking behind them
- Leaks from a shower valve, waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
If you are not sure, just send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.

What the job involves on each surface
Kitchen worktops & upstands
Laminate worktops swell if water gets into the core. A continuous bead along the back keeps water out, as long as the worktop itself is firmly fixed.
Basins & vanity units
On a basin, neatness shows: so we keep the line tidy and even, finished in a colour that suits the basin.
Looking after it afterwards
Simple care keeps the joints in good condition. We recommend:
- Do not leave water standing on kitchen joints
- Run the extractor fan during and after every shower
- Look for lifting corners and small gaps now and then
- Keep scourers and sharp tools away from the bead
Mould needs damp, so keep the room aired. Run the extractor fan during and after a shower, so the silicone gets a chance to dry.
Watch for the early signs: a corner lifting, a gap behind the bead, a dark line under the silicone or a damp patch on the ceiling below. Any of these means the joint needs attention.
Leave it or put it right?
A quick bead over the top of the old one might look better for a while, but it will not bond. It lifts, traps water and grows mould behind it, so the next person has twice as much to remove. Out of town in Scotland, exposed walls take a lot of weather, and damp in stone or harled walls takes a long time to dry once water gets behind a joint.
The cost reflects the work involved, not a rough estimate. That is why we ask about the job first and give you a clear price before work begins.
