Bathroom resealing in Kyleakin, done properly
A shower joint gets soaked every day. Tray edges, screen profiles and wet room joints all rely on silicone to stay watertight. Each gets a bead of anti-fungal sanitary silicone, finished smooth so water drains away rather than collecting. If you’re dealing with smears of silicone across the tiles and water getting behind the kitchen upstand, we can put it right, whatever the surface.
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.
Each job carries a 12-month guarantee, large or small.

DIY versus a professional finish
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and doesn’t move well, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, such as a straightforward joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.

Bathroom resealing around Kyleakin
Kyleakin is within about 1 mile of 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. 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.
Rented homes near Kyle of Lochalsh station change hands often, and mouldy sealant is one of the first things a new tenant notices, so it’s worth renewing between lets. In and around Kyleakin, as anywhere, good bathroom resealing starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint.

What we do, step by step
Before we leave, we go over the finished joints with you. The visit itself generally takes a couple of hours for a single bath or shower, depending on the amount of work. Outside jobs in Kyleakin need a dry day, because sealant will not bond to a wet joint, so external jobs may need to move if the day turns wet. Indoor work goes ahead whatever the weather.
- Protection goes down around the bath, shower or worktop.
- Old sealant is sliced away and the residue removed.
- Mould is treated, then the joint is left to dry thoroughly.
- 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
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Move anything stored near the joints
- Mention any tricky access

Advice
When something else is needed
We’d rather tell you now than do work that will not last, so here’s what sealant cannot put right:

- A bath or tray that moves because it is not properly supported
- A leaking waste, trap or valve
Not sure which it is? You can email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

- Mould in or behind the old joints
- Access and height
- Any working-time requirements on site
The cost reflects the work involved, not guesswork. That is why we ask about the job first.
Asking for a quote
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote. When you get in contact, it helps to mention:
- How we’d reach the joints
- Roughly how big the job is

Leave it or put it right?
Leaving a split or mouldy bead only stores up trouble. Once water is behind the bath, it can reach floorboards, panels and the ceiling underneath, turning a small job into a building repair. In a place like Kyleakin, small leaks are easy to put off, but water through a failed joint keeps working away until it’s fixed.
We do not show prices on the website, because each job is priced on what it involves. For a quick quote, please drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk and we’ll talk you through it.

Keeping the joints in good condition
Once the sealant has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Wait for the cure time we give you
- Move toiletries away from the joint
- Keep the fan on for a while after bathing
- Keep an eye on the corners, where splits start
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.
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.
FAQs for Kyleakin
Do you work for landlords with property near Kyle of Lochalsh station?
Yes. We work for landlords and letting agents as well as householders, and several properties can be quoted together. You can email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk with the details for a clear quote.
Will you come out to Kyleakin?
Yes, we do. Our work covers the whole of Scotland, from towns to the smallest places. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
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.
How long does the new silicone need before I use the shower?
We give you the cure time before we leave, and it’s normally around 24 hours. Using it sooner can damage the bead.
Do you hold any approvals?
Yes. We’re an ARBOMaster approved applicator.
Will the old sealant be removed?
Yes, always, and completely. New silicone does not stick to old silicone, so the joint is cleaned back first.
Can you get rid of the black mould in my sealant?
Yes, by replacing the sealant. Cleaning products may lighten it, but the lasting fix is new anti-fungal silicone on a clean, treated joint. Airing the room well helps stop it returning.
Can you quote for more than one area?
Yes, and it often makes sense. Doing several areas at once is generally more efficient.
