Longman Bathroom Resealing
Bathroom resealing across Longman and nearby, with every bit of old sealant taken out first and a 12-month guarantee.
- Leaks into the floor or ceiling below
- Mouldy sealant that has gone black
- Gaps between the worktop and the wall
DIY sealant or a professional job?
If you do try it yourself, take your time over the preparation: take out all the old sealant, make sure the joint is clean and dry, and give it the full cure time. If it does not work out, we can still put it right.
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.
About our bathroom resealing in Longman
Sealant that is mouldy, cracked or peeling shouldn’t be left until there’s a leak. A photo of the joints helps when you drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk, and you will get a clear quote before any work starts. We work on wet rooms, shower trays & enclosures and basins & vanity units, and common reasons people get in touch are water getting behind the kitchen upstand and a messy, uneven bead from a previous reseal.
In and around a place like Longman, 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.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there’s a problem with our work within the year, let us know and we will sort it.

Wet rooms
Not every wet room leak is a sealant problem. We reseal the joints and will tell you if the water seems to be coming from somewhere else.
Shower trays & enclosures
There are generally two jobs in a shower: the tray-to-wall joint and the enclosure joints. Both get soaked every time the shower runs, so both are resealed with anti-fungal sanitary silicone.
What happens if it’s left?
Most of the work in a good reseal happens before any silicone goes on: removing all the old sealant, degreasing the joint, treating mould and drying it properly. Without that preparation, the new bead will not last. In an older home around Longman, damp from a failed joint can get into timber and plaster.
Commercial jobs are quoted on the same basis as homes: how much there is to do, how we reach it and what it needs. Ask us for a quote and we will go through it with you.

Bathrooms and kitchens in Longman
Longman 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. Mould is another matter: a bathroom that stays damp still turns sealant and grout black.
For landlords with property near Inverness station, a reseal between tenants is a quick way to make the bathroom and kitchen look cared for. For an older house near a landmark such as East Church, older homes can move a little, which is hard on rigid grout and tired sealant. Schools such as Millburn Academy 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.
Longman is about 1 mile north of Inverness, in Highland. Wherever you are in the IV1 postcode area, we can carry out bathroom resealing at your property. Across Highland, we cover 253 places, and Longman is one of them.

Near you in Longman
Typical jobs here are in homes near Cavell Gardens and 1 Grant Street pub. For rail, the closest station is Inverness station, about 0.6 miles south of the centre. Other landmarks nearby include Inverness Castle (0.8 miles south) and Royal Northern Infirmary (1.3 miles south). Not far away are Tomnahurich.
Keeping the joints in good condition
Simple care keeps the joints in good condition. Our advice:
- Avoid abrasive pads on the sealant
- Squeegee the walls and tray after use
- Clean with a mild bathroom cleaner and a soft cloth
- Wait for the cure time we give you
Give the silicone time to cure before it gets wet, which is usually around 24 hours. Once it’s cured, wiping it down after use keeps it looking new.
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. If you spot one, it’s time to reseal.

How the visit works
Before we leave, we go over the finished joints with you and tell you how long to leave it. The visit itself normally takes a couple of hours for one bath or shower, or most of a day for a full bathroom and kitchen, depending on the amount of work. For a place like Longman, longer drives are planned in advance. Mention tracks, gates, ferries or anything else about the route.
- 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.
- When the joint is dry, and a bath has been filled with water, the new silicone goes on.
- The bead is tooled smooth and you are told the cure time, generally around 24 hours.
Getting ready for the visit
- Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work
- Clear the area around the work
- Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed

How we quote for bathroom resealing
The price is agreed before any work begins. It’s based on:
- How many areas need sealing
- How much old sealant there is and how hard it is to remove
- Any mould that needs treating
- Which sealant suits the joint
Instead of a standard rate, we price the job in front of us: how many joints, what’s in them now and how we reach them. You will know the price before we begin.
Helping us quote
There’s no need for technical detail. It helps if you can tell us:
- A few photos by email, if you can
- What’s wrong with the joints now
- Access, such as stairs, a lift or height
- The rough size of the job
We don’t publish a price list, as no two jobs are quite the same. Instead, your job gets its own clear quote. To arrange one, email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk.
FAQs for Longman
Do you cover smaller places like Longman?
Yes. Longman is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. Our work covers the whole of Scotland. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
I let a flat near Inverness station. Can you help?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. Just email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk and tell us about the property, and we will give you a clear price.
Can mouldy silicone be sorted out?
Yes. Once mould has grown into the silicone, it usually cannot be cleaned out for good, so we cut it out, treat the joint and reseal with anti-fungal silicone.
Is it worth trying it myself?
Sometimes. Preparation is everything: all the old sealant out, and a clean, dry joint. We can always put it right if it fails.
How much does bathroom resealing cost in Longman?
The cost depends on the size of the job, access and how much old sealant has to come out. Call for a quick quote.
What colours of sealant can you use?
There’s a choice: white, clear and colours to suit tiles and worktops. We’ll talk it through when we quote.
Where do you work from?
Our base is Crawley, with over 20 years’ experience. Our area covers South East England, London and Scotland.
Is it OK to put new sealant on top of the old bead?
No. A bead laid over old silicone soon starts to come away. Every trace of the old bead is removed first.
