Your questions about bathroom resealing in Leachkin
Do you cover smaller places like Leachkin?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Our work covers the whole of Scotland. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
Do you work for landlords with property near Inverness station?
Yes, we work for landlords and letting agents. You can drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk with the address and a few details, and we will give you a fixed price before we start.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. We are fully insured.
Which products do you use?
The product depends on the job: sanitary silicone where it gets wet, and sealants suited to movement or weather elsewhere. Brands we use include Arbo and Everbuild.
Can you get rid of the black mould in my sealant?
Yes, we can. The old sealant comes out, the mould is treated, and we reseal with anti-fungal sanitary silicone.
Can I choose the colour of the sealant?
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, as well as homes. We can talk about working times when we quote.
Does someone need to be in?
It depends on the job. Inside work needs someone to give us access, while outside work can sometimes be arranged differently.
Bathroom resealing in Leachkin, done properly
Sealant is the soft line between a bath, shower or worktop and the wall. Once it cracks or goes mouldy, water starts to find its way through and into the wall or floor. Every trace of the old sealant is taken out and replaced with anti-fungal sanitary silicone. We work on kitchen worktops & upstands, sinks & splashbacks and shower trays & enclosures, and common reasons people get in touch are smears of silicone across the tiles and a reseal done over the top of the old bead.
For a place like Leachkin, 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.
Your job is guaranteed for a year, as with all our work.

How the job changes by surface
Shower trays & enclosures
Water often gets past the wall profile of a shower enclosure. It’s resealed along with the tray joints, sealing the side the enclosure’s instructions call for.
Sinks & splashbacks
Where a splashback meets the worktop, there’s a joint that catches every splash. We renew it in clear, white or a matched colour.
Signs you need bathroom resealing in Leachkin
Sealing over old silicone is one of the commonest mistakes we find. New silicone will not bond to old silicone, so it lifts, lets water in and traps mould underneath.
If you can see any of these, it’s time to have the joints looked at:
- Damp behind the bath or under the tray
- Cracked, shrunken or lifting silicone
- Shrunken sealant along the back of a worktop
- Black mould in the silicone that won’t clean off
Homes close to Church include some older properties, and timber floors under older bathrooms flex, so joints need a sealant that moves with them.

Keeping the joints in good condition
So the new joints stay in good condition:
- Avoid abrasive pads on the sealant
- Keep the fan on for a while after bathing
- Give the silicone its full cure time
- Squeegee the walls and tray after use
Don’t stand bottles along the bead, because they trap water against the silicone. Squeegeeing the walls and tray after use helps the joint dry.
Worktop joints fail quietly. Splashes run behind the back edge and soak into the worktop, where it can make the board swell. A reseal in time can save the worktop.
Bathrooms and kitchens in Leachkin
Leachkin is close to 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. But mould still grows into sealant and grout in a room that doesn’t dry out.
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Inverness High School, its toilets, changing areas and kitchens need their sealant renewed like any other building’s. Rented homes near Inverness station change hands often, and mouldy sealant is one of the first things a new tenant notices, so it’s worth renewing between lets.

What happens if it’s left?
Dealing with sealant early is a short job: the work takes half a day or less for one room, longer when the kitchen is included. Left until water gets through, the job can grow to lifting panels, drying out and decorating. In a place like Leachkin, small leaks are easy to put off, but water behind a failed seal does the most damage when nobody’s watching.
What you pay reflects the work, not a rough estimate. That is why we ask a few questions first and send you a clear quote before work begins.

The process
You don’t need to clear the whole room or building before we come, only the area right around the joints. We protect the rest, and the work takes a couple of hours for a single bath or shower for a typical job. For a place like Leachkin, longer drives are planned in advance. Mention tracks, gates, ferries or anything else about the route.
- We start by protecting the area and stripping out the old bead, including the film left on the tiles.
- Next, the joint is cleaned and any mould is treated.
- We let it dry fully and fill the bath with water before sealing.
- New anti-fungal silicone goes on in a colour to suit and is tooled to a clean finish.
- Finally we tidy up and explain the cure time before we leave.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention any sign-in or site rules at work premises
- Tell us about any water getting in
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children
How to get a quote
It all starts with a short chat. Describe the problem, the location and the size of the job. Whenever you are ready, drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk.
