Bathroom resealing for homes and businesses in Hamnavoe
With over 20 years in the trade, we reseal baths, showers and kitchens in homes across Hamnavoe. We are ARBOMaster approved and fully insured, and the work comes with a 12-month guarantee. Common call-outs are for shrunken sealant along the back of a worktop and leaks into the floor or ceiling below, on baths, shower trays & enclosures and basins & vanity units.
Across smaller places in Scotland, homes range from stone and harled cottages 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.

Your questions about bathroom resealing in Hamnavoe
Is Hamnavoe in your area for bathroom resealing?
Yes, Hamnavoe 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, and we’ll send you a clear quote.
What guarantee comes with bathroom resealing in Hamnavoe?
All our work, in Hamnavoe and everywhere else, comes with a 12-month guarantee. We’re fully insured, and an ARBOMaster approved applicator.
Can you just seal over the old silicone?
No. Fresh silicone can’t stick to the old bead, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. We always take the old sealant out completely.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. Full insurance covers our work.
Can you get rid of the black mould in my sealant?
Yes, by replacing the sealant. Sprays can fade the marks, but cutting it out and resealing is what lasts. Airing the room well helps stop it returning.
What does bathroom resealing cost?
Size, access and the old material all affect the cost. Call for a quick quote.
What colours of sealant can you use?
White and clear are the most common choices, and other colours are available to suit tiles, trays and worktops. Let us know your preference when you ask for a quote.
Do you work for hotels and businesses?
Yes. Commercial and hotel work is a large part of what we do. We can talk about working times when we quote.
Can I do it myself?
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. New silicone will not bond to old, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. All the old material has to come out first.
A DIY attempt does not rule out a professional job. We remove it and do the joint properly, so just mention it when you contact us.

Keeping the joints in good condition
So the new joints stay in good condition:
- Stick to a soft cloth and a mild cleaner
- Never pick at the silicone with a blade
- Open a window or run the fan so the room dries
- Wait for the cure time we give you
Have a look at the joints every few months. Small splits and lifting ends are easy to catch early, and if anything looks wrong, just email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk.
A few black dots in the silicone soon become a black line. Once it’s deep in the silicone, cleaning usually will not remove it, and nearby grout often goes the same way. Replacing the sealant early keeps the job small.
When it isn’t the sealant
It helps to know what we cannot do too:
- Leaks from a shower valve, waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
- A tray that rocks until it’s re-bedded
- Cracks in the tray itself rather than the joint
If you’re not sure, just email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.

How the job changes by surface
Kitchen worktops & upstands
Worktop joints get wet and wiped every day. We seal them in a colour that suits the worktop, so the line doesn’t stand out.
Baths
The long joint down the side of a bath is where most leaks start, especially under a shower. We finish it with a single, even bead of anti-fungal silicone.
Landlord and commercial work in Hamnavoe
Housing providers, facilities teams and property managers book us too. We can quote a run of properties together, and we’re fully insured.
We work for letting agents and landlords as well as householders. Resealing between tenancies is a simple way to keep a property in good order before the next move-in.
The process
Good joint work is mostly preparation, and we do not rush it. Every joint is cleaned and dried before new material goes in. In total, it usually takes a couple of hours for one bath or shower, or most of a day for a full bathroom and kitchen. Outdoor work around Hamnavoe depends on the weather, as sealant needs a dry surface, so an outdoor job can move if the forecast changes. Indoor work goes ahead whatever the weather.
- We protect the area and cut out all of the old sealant, including the film left on the tiles.
- We clean and degrease the joint and treat any mould.
- Once it’s dry, any bath is filled so the bead is laid with it at its heaviest.
- New anti-fungal silicone goes on in a colour to suit and is tooled to a clean finish.
- We tidy up and give you the cure time, usually around 24 hours.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any parking rules near the property
- Keep children and pets away from the work area
- Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints

Advice
Why act early in Hamnavoe
Bleach and mould sprays may lighten black marks for a while, but where mould is inside the silicone it generally comes back. The lasting answer is to remove the bead and start again. 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.
We do not show prices on the website, because the cost depends so much on the job itself. Call for a quick quote.

Bathroom resealing around Hamnavoe
Hamnavoe 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. Mould is another matter: a bathroom that stays damp still turns sealant and grout black.
Around Hamnavoe, as everywhere, bathroom resealing is only as good as the preparation behind it. For jobs in and around Hamnavoe, choosing the right material for each joint is as important as a tidy finish.
