- Sealant that has split, shrunk or peeled away
- Two layers of silicone, both failing
- Mouldy sealant that has gone black
How to look after the new joints
To keep the joints looking good and working properly:
- Avoid abrasive pads on the sealant
- Dry the bead with a towel now and then
- Wipe up water along the back of the worktop
- Move toiletries away from the joint
Keep bottles and razors off the sealant line, because they trap water against the silicone. A quick squeegee after showering keeps water from sitting on the joint.
A few black dots in the silicone soon become a black line. Once it’s deep in the silicone, cleaning normally won’t remove it. Catching it early keeps it a simple reseal.

What we’re called out for in Janetstown
Silicone needs a clean, dry surface without any grease to stick to. Traces of soap, bath oil and old sealant stop it gripping, and a joint that looked fine soon begins to come away.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Gaps between the worktop and the wall
- New sealant laid over old sealant that is now lifting
- Water getting behind the bath panel
- Mouldy sealant that has gone black
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Thurso High School, we reseal washrooms and kitchens in schools and businesses as well as homes.
Questions to ask before you book
- Whether they’re fully insured
- Which sealant they’ll use, and why
- Who does the work, and how experienced they are
- How the surfaces are prepared before sealing
Janetstown questions
Do you work for landlords with property near Thurso station?
Yes, we work for landlords and agents. You can email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk with the address and a few details, and we’ll give you a fixed price before work begins.
Is Janetstown in your area for bathroom resealing?
Yes. We work across all of Scotland, and Janetstown is part of that. You can drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk and tell us what needs doing.
Do you reseal kitchen worktops and sinks too?
Yes. Kitchen joints get extra degreasing before the new bead goes on, then a colour-matched bead is laid.
Will you leave a mess?
Tidy work is part of the job. Nearby surfaces are protected, and the area is left clean when we finish.
My sealant has gone black. Can you sort it?
Yes, we replace the mouldy bead. 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.
Can I do it myself?
Some simple jobs can be done by a careful DIYer. The usual mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using too much.
Is there any odour?
There can be a smell while the sealant cures, but it fades. Opening a window helps.
Are you ARBOMaster approved?
Yes. ARBOMaster is the approved applicator scheme for Arbo sealants, and we’re part of it.
The process
The work is kept neat and contained to the area we are working on. Expect the work to take a couple of hours for one bath or shower, or most of a day for a full bathroom and kitchen. Outdoor work around Janetstown 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.
- We cover the area around the joints we are working on.
- 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.
How to prepare
- Tell us about any previous sealing or DIY attempts
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Clear the area around the work

DIY versus a professional finish
A DIY attempt doesn’t rule out a professional job. We remove it and do the joint properly.
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.
Bathroom resealing around Janetstown
Janetstown is within about 3 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. Scottish Water supplies are generally soft, so limescale is less of a problem than in hard-water areas. But mould still grows into sealant and grout in a room that does not dry out.
If you let a flat or house near Thurso station, mouldy sealant is one of the first things a new tenant notices, so it’s worth renewing between lets.

Why deal with it now?
A clean new bead makes a room look cared for, which matters if you are letting a property or selling it. Lumpy sealant with smears on the tiles has the opposite effect, and it’s harder to put right later. 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.
What it costs depends on how much there is to do, how hard the old material is to remove and how easy the joints are to reach. We give a clear quote before we start.

How the job changes by surface
Wet rooms
If a wet room leaks, the cause may be the tanking or the drain rather than the joints. We reseal the joints and will tell you if the water seems to be coming from somewhere else.
Shower trays & enclosures
Water often gets past the wall profile of a shower enclosure. It’s resealed along with the tray joints, following the enclosure maker’s guidance on which side to seal.
How we quote for bathroom resealing
Some jobs are bigger than they look, and some smaller. What affects the quote:
- The old material and how stubborn it is
- The size of the job
- How many areas need sealing
- Working hours on commercial sites
Leaving a failed joint usually makes the job bigger, not smaller, as water and mould keep getting in. If you’re unsure, drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk and we will give you an honest view and a quote.
What we need to know
Photos help, but a description is a good start. Try to tell us:
- Photos by email, if that is easy
- What the problem is, such as mould, gaps, leaks or cracking
- The type of property
- Roughly how big the job is
We don’t publish a price list, because every job is different. Instead, your job gets its own clear quote. To arrange one, drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk.
