Bathroom resealing in Harray, done properly
Mr Mastic has more than 20 years’ experience of sealant work, and our applicators reseal bathrooms and kitchens across Harray. We are fully insured ARBOMaster approved applicators, and the work comes with a 12-month guarantee. If you have a joint torn by a bath that flexes and a bead that has pulled away from the tiles, we can put it right, on shower trays & enclosures, kitchen worktops & upstands and wet rooms alike.
For a place like Harray, the job is the same as anywhere: old material out, joints cleaned and dried, and a fresh, even finish. We just plan the journey and access beforehand.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you are covered after we’ve gone.

Common questions in Harray
Do you cover smaller places like Harray?
Yes, Harray is covered. Our work covers the whole of Scotland, islands included, from towns to the smallest places. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
Is bathroom resealing in Harray guaranteed?
Every job comes with our one-year guarantee, wherever it is. We are also fully insured and ARBOMaster approved.
Do you reseal kitchen worktops and sinks too?
Yes. The old sealant is cut out and the joint degreased, because cooking grease stops silicone sticking, then we reseal in a colour to suit.
Do you have insurance?
Yes, we are fully insured.
Is it worth trying it myself?
It depends on the job. Work at height, movement joints, fire-rated gaps and large areas are best left to a professional.
My sealant has gone black. Can you sort it?
Yes, by replacing the sealant. Cleaning products may lighten it, but the lasting fix is new anti-fungal silicone on a clean, treated joint. Good ventilation helps keep it away.
Do the sealants smell?
It depends on the product. Some smell for a while, some hardly at all, and any smell fades as they cure.
Do you remove the old sealant?
Yes, always, and completely. New silicone doesn’t stick to old silicone, so any old material comes out before anything new goes in.
When it is not the sealant
It helps to know what we cannot do too:
- Cracks in the tray itself rather than the joint
- Water coming from the plumbing rather than the joint
- Tiles that have come away from the wall
If in doubt, drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk and we will say what we think before you book.
Joints and surfaces we work on
- Shower trays & enclosures
- Wet rooms
- Sinks & splashbacks
- Kitchen worktops & upstands
- Basins & vanity units
- Baths
What happens if it’s left?
Mould removers can fade the surface of a stained bead, but mould that has grown into the sealant tends to return. Cutting it out and resealing with anti-fungal silicone is the fix that lasts. Out of town in Scotland, exposed walls take a lot of weather, and once water gets behind a failed joint, damp in stone or harled walls is slow to dry out.
Leaving a failed joint usually makes the job bigger, not smaller, as water and mould keep getting in. If you are unsure, drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk and we’ll give you an honest view and a quote.

When to call us in Harray
Silicone does not last for ever. Daily water, heat and cleaning products slowly wear it down, so its life depends on how the room is used, cleaned and aired.
Common reasons people contact us include:
- Mouldy sealant that has gone black
- A reseal done over the top of the old bead
- Shrunken sealant along the back of a worktop
- Splits where the tray meets the wall
Around Harray, as everywhere, bathroom resealing is only as good as the preparation behind it.

How the job changes by surface
Shower trays & enclosures
A tray that rocks will split any sealant. Movement is checked before anything is resealed, and if the tray needs refixing, we’ll say so.
Wet rooms
A wet room floor and its walls can move independently, so the internal corners need silicone rather than grout. Where grout in a corner has cracked, we can replace it with sealant.
How to look after the new joints
Aftercare is simple:
- Squeegee the walls and tray after use
- Keep bottles off the sealant line
- Let new sealant cure fully before it gets wet
- Use gentle cleaners on the silicone
Check the sealant now and then. A small split or a corner lifting is easy to spot, so if something doesn’t look right, just drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk.
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.
How the visit works
All our tools and materials come with us in the van, so you don’t need to buy or prepare anything. After a quick look at the joints together, we protect the area and start. Most jobs take two to three hours for a typical bath, depending on how much old sealant there is. In smaller Scottish places, parking is usually less of an issue than access and distance. Tell us how to find the property and how to reach the work, and the visit is planned around that.
- 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.
- Joints are degreased and any mould is treated.
- 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, normally around 24 hours.
Preparing for the visit
- Move anything stored near the joints
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive
- Mention any parking rules near the property

Bathrooms and kitchens in Harray
Harray is within about 2 miles of the coast. Near the coast, holiday lets and guest houses can see bathrooms used by one guest after another, and sealant and grout that work that hard wear out sooner. 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 does not dry out.
In the older streets around Grimeston Congregational Chapel, timber floors under older bathrooms flex, so joints need a sealant that moves with them.
Harray is about 9 miles north-west of Kirkwall, in the Orkney Islands. From the centre of Harray to the outskirts, we cover bathroom resealing for every kind of property, from flats and houses to offices and hotels. Our area takes in 51 places across the Orkney Islands, from the larger towns to small villages.
Work in KW17 works the same way as everywhere else we cover. We also cover Bimbister (1 mile south), Russland (1 mile west), Grimeston (2 miles south), Hourston (2 miles north-west) and Wasbister (3 miles south-west). If you’re somewhere remote, the job takes a little more planning, so mention it when you ask for a quote.
