Bathroom & kitchen resealing in Levenwick, Shetland Islands
Problem with your baths, showers and worktops in Levenwick? We cut out the old, prepare the joints and apply the right sealant, with a one-year guarantee.
- Gaps between the worktop and the wall
- A messy, uneven bead from a previous reseal
- A bead that has pulled away from the tiles
What we do, step by step
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 two to three hours for a typical bath, depending on how much old sealant there is for a typical job. Outdoor work around Levenwick depends on the weather, as sealant needs a dry surface, so an outdoor job can move if the forecast changes. Indoor work goes ahead whatever the weather.
- We cover the area around the joints we’re working on.
- We cut away the old sealant and clean off what’s left.
- 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.
- The joint is finished neatly and we explain when it can get wet.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit

Advice
Bathroom resealing for homes and businesses in Levenwick
Showers work their sealant harder than baths. Tray edges, screen profiles and wet room joints all rely on silicone to stay watertight. They’re resealed with anti-fungal sanitary silicone, tooled smooth so water runs off instead of sitting in a ridge. We work on shower trays & enclosures, baths and kitchen worktops & upstands, and common reasons people get in touch are sealant that has split, shrunk or peeled away and mouldy sealant that has gone black.
Bathrooms in smaller places like Levenwick work just as hard as those in the cities. Limescale is less of a problem with Scotland’s generally soft water, but mould still takes hold in damp sealant and grout.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something isn’t right with it in that time, tell us and we will put it right.

Bathrooms and kitchens in Levenwick
Levenwick is close to 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. Work on the islands has to be planned around ferry crossings and the weather, so give us as much notice as you can.
Around Levenwick, as everywhere, bathroom resealing is only as good as the preparation behind it. For jobs in and around Levenwick, choosing the right material for each joint is as important as a tidy finish.
Levenwick is in the Shetland Islands. Every kind of property in Levenwick is covered for bathroom resealing. Every job comes with our one-year guarantee. Levenwick is one of 63 places in the Shetland Islands we cover for bathroom resealing.

Levenwick questions
Is bathroom resealing in Levenwick guaranteed?
All our work, in Levenwick and everywhere else, comes with a 12-month guarantee. We’re fully insured, and an ARBOMaster approved applicator.
Do you cover Levenwick for bathroom resealing?
Yes, Levenwick is within the area we cover. Our work covers the whole of Scotland. Just drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk with a few details of the job.
Is there any odour?
That depends on the sealant. Some products have a noticeable smell, others very little.
How long before the new sealant can get wet?
Normally after around 24 hours. We’ll tell you the cure time for the product we used.
Are you insured?
Yes. We are fully insured.
What information do you need?
Let us know what needs doing and where, plus photos if you have them. We’ll ask anything else we need to know.
Can I do it myself?
That depends on the joint. Work at height, movement joints, fire-rated gaps and large areas are best left to a professional, while a short indoor joint may be within reach.
How long does a bath or shower reseal take?
A single bath or shower takes about a couple of hours, including cutting out the old sealant. A whole bathroom plus the kitchen may take most of the day.
When it is not the sealant
Honest advice matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what new sealant won’t do:
- Water coming from the plumbing rather than the joint
- Cracks in the tray itself rather than the joint
- Movement from a bath with loose feet or no proper support
If in doubt, email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk and we’ll say what we think before booking.

Work for landlords, hotels and businesses
Failed sealant is one of the commonest items on a check-out report, and it’s quick to put right between tenancies. We can quote for more than one property at once.
Water getting past a failed joint can damage the building, which is a bigger problem in a rented property. Resealing at the right time is simple maintenance that we can handle for you.
Surface by surface
Sinks & splashbacks
The edge of an inset sink is a common place for water to get under the worktop. We reseal the visible edge of the sink where it has failed.
Shower trays & enclosures
There are generally two jobs in a shower: the tray-to-wall joint and the enclosure joints. Both take water every day, so each is cut out and renewed with anti-fungal sanitary silicone.
Should I try it myself first?
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. New silicone won’t bond to old, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. Everything old must be removed first.
Not every job suits DIY: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
Aftercare tips
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Check the joints every few months for splits or lifting
- Wait for the cure time we give you
- Open a window or run the fan so the room dries
- Use gentle cleaners on the silicone
Wipe up standing water along the worktop joint. The drier the joint stays, the longer it lasts.
Worktop joints fail quietly. Splashes run behind the back edge and soak into the worktop, and the board underneath can swell. A reseal in time can save the worktop.
