Bathroom & kitchen resealing in Lochboisdale, Na h-Eileanan Siar
Baths, showers and worktops in Lochboisdale need attention? We cut out the old, prepare the joints and apply the right sealant, and the work is guaranteed for a year.
- A reseal done over the top of the old bead
- Lumpy, uneven sealant from a DIY attempt
- Splits where the tray meets the wall
What the job involves on each surface
Wet rooms
In a wet room, the joints between floor and walls take standing water. They’re resealed with anti-fungal sanitary silicone, and our work is on the visible joints only.
Basins & vanity units
Basins take less water than showers, but the joint behind them is splashed every day. Old sealant there often goes black at the corners, and we treat it exactly as we would a bath.
Bathroom resealing for homes and businesses in Lochboisdale
Sealant that’s mouldy, cracked or peeling shouldn’t be left until there’s a leak. A photo of the joints helps when you email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk, and we’ll send you a clear quote before any work starts. We are often asked to deal with two layers of silicone, both failing and shrunken sealant along the back of a worktop, on sinks & splashbacks, shower trays & enclosures and wet rooms.
In and around a place like Lochboisdale, homes range from older stone-built properties to newer houses. Older buildings can move a little, and that shows first in cracked grout and split sealant.
A 12-month guarantee comes as standard.

How it works
Once we’re on site, we check the joints match what you told us. If anything is different, we explain it before carrying on. After that, the work takes two to three hours for a typical bath, depending on how much old sealant there is. For a place like Lochboisdale, longer drives are planned in advance. Tell us about tracks, gates, a ferry crossing or anything unusual about getting there.
- 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.
- Any bath is filled with water, then we lay a bead of anti-fungal silicone in white, clear or a matching colour.
- The joint is finished neatly and we explain when it can get wet.
Getting ready for the visit

Signs you need bathroom resealing in Lochboisdale
Sealing over old silicone is one of the commonest mistakes we find. New silicone won’t bond to old silicone, so it peels, leaks and hides mould behind it.
Common reasons people contact us are:
- A bead that has pulled away from the tiles
- Gaps between the worktop and the wall
- Leaking joints on a shower screen
- Lumpy, uneven sealant from a DIY attempt
Whether the job is in Lochboisdale itself or nearby, the right material for each joint matters as much as a neat finish.

Bathroom resealing around Lochboisdale
Lochboisdale is within about 1 mile of 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. Work on the islands has to be planned around ferry crossings and the weather, so give us as much notice as you can.
Around Lochboisdale, as everywhere, bathroom resealing is only as good as the preparation behind it.
Lochboisdale is in Na h-Eileanan Siar. Across the HS8 area, our applicators can take on bathroom resealing. 87 places in Na h-Eileanan Siar are on our list.
Work in HS8 works the same way as everywhere else we cover. We cover properties on Braehead, Calabhaigh and Kenneth Terrace and the roads around them. If you’re just outside Lochboisdale, we cover Loch Baghasdail (1 mile north), Dalabrog (2 miles north-west), Rubha Ban (5 miles south), Eòlaigearraidh (9 miles south-west) and Cuidhir (12 miles south-west). Remote and island addresses need a little more planning, so please mention your location when you send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk.

Other landmarks nearby include Calvay Castle (1.8 miles east). Not far away are Beinn Ruigh Choinnich and Loch Stulaval.
Looking after it afterwards
Once the sealant has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Use gentle cleaners on the silicone
- Keep an eye on the corners, where splits start
- Don’t leave water standing on kitchen joints
- Squeegee the walls and tray after use
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.
There’s no need to wait for a full refurbishment. Sealant is a maintenance item, like the paint on a window frame, and replacing it when it fails protects the rest of the room.
FAQs for Lochboisdale
Is bathroom resealing in Lochboisdale guaranteed?
All our work, in Lochboisdale and everywhere else, comes with a 12-month guarantee. We are fully insured, and an ARBOMaster approved applicator.
Do you cover smaller places like Lochboisdale?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. We work across all of Scotland, including the islands, where work is planned around ferry crossings. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Do I have to be there?
It depends on the job. For work indoors, someone needs to let us in, while outside work can sometimes be arranged differently.
How long does it take to reseal a bath or shower?
One bath or shower is around two hours’ work, including cutting out the old sealant. A full bathroom and kitchen can take most of a day.
Where are you based?
Our base is Crawley, with over 20 years’ experience. We work across South East England, London and Scotland.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, often. We can quote for several properties at once, and between tenancies is a good time for the work.
Do you work for hotels and businesses?
Yes. Hotels, offices and other businesses use us and we are fully insured.
Can you reseal around my kitchen sink and worktop?
Yes. Next to the sink we use a food-safe product where it’s needed.
What happens if it’s left?
A clean new bead makes a room look cared for, which matters if you are letting a property or selling it. A smeared, uneven DIY bead does the opposite, and it’s harder to put right later. When the nearest tradesperson is a drive away, it’s tempting to leave a small leak, but water behind a failed seal does the most damage when nobody’s watching.
The cost reflects the work involved, not a rough estimate. That’s why we ask a few questions first and agree the price before starting.
