Questions from Lerwick
Do you work for hotels and guest houses in Lerwick?
Yes. Hotel and guest-house work is part of what we do. Work can be planned room by room, and out-of-hours working can be arranged.
Do you cover Lerwick for bathroom resealing?
Yes, Lerwick is within the area we cover. We work across all of Scotland. You can drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk and tell us what needs doing.
How long does the new silicone need before I use the shower?
After around 24 hours in most cases. We will tell you the cure time for the product we used.
What do you put in the joint?
We choose the sealant for the joint, not the other way round. Where it moves, gets wet or faces the weather makes a difference.
What colours of sealant can you use?
Most people choose white or clear, and other colours are available to suit tiles, trays and worktops. Let us know your preference when you ask for a quote.
Can you quote for more than one area?
Of course. Doing several areas at once is normally more efficient.
Will you leave a mess?
We keep the work tidy. Nearby surfaces are protected, and we clear up when we are done.
Do I have to be there?
If the work is inside, we need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Bathroom resealing in Lerwick
A fresh bead of silicone changes how a bathroom looks more than most people expect. Mouldy silicone makes even a new bathroom look neglected, and a neat new joint puts that right in a short visit. Just as important, it closes the gaps water would otherwise get through. We are often asked to deal with lumpy, uneven sealant from a DIY attempt and damp behind the bath or under the tray, across wet rooms, 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.
Big or small, it’s backed by our one-year guarantee.

Why deal with it now?
You do not need a new bathroom because the sealant looks bad. A new bead often brings the whole room back, provided the bath, tray and tiles are in good order. If something else is wrong, we’ll tell you. In a place like Lerwick, small leaks are easy to put off, but water behind a failed seal does the most damage when nobody’s watching.
Doing several joints on one visit generally makes better use of the time than several visits. You will get one clear quote for the whole job.

The process
Good joint work is mostly preparation, and we don’t rush it. Every joint is cleaned and dried before new material goes in. In total, it usually takes half a day or less for one room, longer when the kitchen is included. Around Lerwick, distance and access matter more than parking. 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.
- The old silicone is cut out completely, along with the film it leaves on the tiles.
- The joint is cleaned, degreased and treated for mould.
- With the joint dry, and any bath loaded with water, a single bead of anti-fungal silicone is applied.
- The bead is tooled smooth and you’re told the cure time, usually around 24 hours.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any parking rules near the property
- Let us know about stairs, lifts or work at height
- Mention any sign-in or site rules at work premises

Advice
Bathroom resealing around Lerwick
Lerwick is within about 1 mile of the coast. Near the coast, holiday lets and guest houses can see bathrooms used by one guest after another, which wears sealant and grout out faster than in a quiet home. Private landlords in Scotland must be registered and meet the Repairing Standard, which covers keeping fixtures and fittings in a reasonable state of repair. Tired, leaking sealant is worth putting right before a new tenant moves in.
Schools such as Anderson High School are buildings too, and washroom and kitchen sealant there needs the same care as at home, and schools and businesses are part of our work as well as homes.
Lerwick is in the Shetland Islands. Jobs in Lerwick get the same care as everywhere else we work: old sealant removed completely, careful preparation and a one-year guarantee. Our area takes in 63 places across the Shetland Islands, from the larger towns to small villages.
Postcode districts we cover here for bathroom resealing: ZE1. That includes homes and businesses on High Street, Market Street and Church Road. Main roads around Lerwick include the A969 and A970.

What affects the cost of bathroom resealing

How the job changes by surface
Sinks & splashbacks
Where a splashback meets the worktop, there’s a joint that catches every splash. It’s resealed in white, clear or a colour to suit.
Basins & vanity units
On a basin, neatness shows: so we keep the line tidy and even, in white, clear or a colour to suit.

What else we do in Lerwick
When something else is needed
New sealant cannot fix everything, and we’d rather say so up front. It will not solve:
- Water coming from the plumbing rather than the joint
- Tiles that have come away from the wall
- Movement from a bath with loose feet or no proper support
Not sure which it is? You can send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

Signs you need bathroom resealing in Lerwick
Older sealant shrinks and hardens. Along worktops it tends to pull back from the wall, opening a hairline gap that lets water and crumbs in. Hot pans and harsh cleaners don’t help.
Any of these means the joints need attention:
- Damp behind the bath or under the tray
- Sealant that has split, shrunk or peeled away
- Gaps where the bath or tray has moved
- Water getting behind the kitchen upstand
For an older house near a landmark such as St Margaret's Roman Catholic Church, bathrooms in older houses have often been refitted more than once, with sealant laid over sealant.
What your quote should include
- Whether they’re fully insured
- How hidden problems are handled
- Whether they seal over old material or remove it
- Whether you can choose the colour
DIY versus a professional finish
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is.
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, such as a straightforward joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
