How we handle bathroom resealing in Luss
It isn’t only bathrooms. The joint between worktop and wall, the edge of the sink and the bottom of the splashback all take splashes every day, and water behind a laminate worktop can make it swell. Kitchen joints get a sealant suited to kitchens, colour-matched where it shows. We work on shower trays & enclosures, basins & vanity units and wet rooms, and the jobs we see most are failed sealant on the screen profile and cracked, shrunken or lifting silicone.
A bathroom in a place like Luss gets the same daily wear as one in a city flat. Generally soft Scottish water means less limescale, but steam still lets mould into sealant and grout.
There’s a 12-month guarantee on every job, whatever its size.

Can I do it myself?
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. New silicone won’t bond to old, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. All the old material has to come out first.
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, such as a straightforward joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.

Surface by surface
Kitchen worktops & upstands
Upstands and back edges are cut out, cleaned of grease and resealed, since cooking leaves a film that stops silicone sticking. The extra cleaning is what makes the bead last.
Shower trays & enclosures
Water often gets past the wall profile of a shower enclosure. We reseal it along with the base of the enclosure, following the enclosure maker’s guidance on which side to seal.
What we are called out for in Luss
Sealant laid on a damp, dusty or greasy joint never bonds properly. Soap residue, oils and leftover silicone film all get in the way, so a rushed job can start to lift early.
People generally contact us when they notice something like this:
- Cracked, shrunken or lifting silicone
- Gaps between the worktop and the wall
- Splits where the tray meets the wall
- Leaking joints on a shower screen
For an older house near a landmark such as Luss Parish Church, bathrooms in older houses have often been refitted more than once, with sealant laid over sealant.

FAQs for Luss
Is Luss in your area for bathroom resealing?
Yes, Luss is within the area we cover. We work across all of Scotland. You can email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk and let us know what needs doing.
Is there a guarantee on bathroom resealing in Luss?
All our work, in Luss and everywhere else, comes with a 12-month guarantee. We’re also fully insured and ARBOMaster approved.
How long does the new silicone need before I use the shower?
Usually after around 24 hours. We will tell you the cure time for the product we used.
Is there any odour?
Some sealants have a smell while they cure, but it fades. Opening a window helps.
Do you remove the old sealant?
Yes, every time. New silicone does not stick to old silicone, so any old material comes out before anything new goes in.
Can tenants book the work?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
Do you work for hotels and businesses?
Yes. We’ve worked for hotels, offices and other businesses and we are fully insured.
What should I tell you?
Where the job is, what the problem is and roughly how big it is. Photos by email help too.

Why it’s worth doing now in Luss
Sorting it now is quick: the work takes two to three hours for a typical bath, depending on how much old sealant there is. Left until water gets through, the job can grow to lifting panels, drying out and decorating. Around Luss, water from a failed joint in an older stone home can soak into timber and plaster, which is a far bigger job than the sealant.
Doing several joints on one visit is normally more efficient than separate visits. We will give you a clear price for the lot.
Why us?
- Quality sealants from Arbo and Everbuild
- Domestic, commercial and hotel work
- Tidy, careful work
- Fully insured

Looking after it afterwards
No joint lasts for ever, but care makes a real difference. A few tips:
- Look for lifting corners and small gaps now and then
- Wait for the cure time we give you
- Dry worktop joints after washing up
- Squeegee the walls and tray after use
Give the silicone time to cure before it gets wet, following the cure time we give you. After that, a quick wipe after showering helps keep it clean.
Worktop joints fail quietly. Water gets behind the upstand and into the edge of a laminate worktop, where it can make the board swell. Resealing before that happens protects the worktop.
What we do, step by step
Good joint work is mostly preparation, so that is where we spend the time. Joints are cleaned back and dried before anything new goes in. In total, it usually takes a couple of hours for a single bath or shower. Outdoor work around Luss depends on the weather, as sealant needs a dry surface, so an outdoor job can move if the forecast changes. Work indoors isn’t affected.
- First, each joint is checked for movement and signs of water.
- Every trace of the old bead is removed, including the thin smear on the tiles.
- Joints are degreased and any mould is treated.
- 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 are told the cure time, generally around 24 hours.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us about any water getting in
- Let us know about parking restrictions
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children

Bathrooms and kitchens in Luss
Private landlords in Scotland must be registered and meet the Repairing Standard, which includes keeping fixtures and fittings in reasonable repair. Tired, leaking sealant is worth putting right before a new tenant moves in. Scottish Water supplies are generally soft, so limescale is less of a problem than in hard-water areas. But mould still grows into sealant and grout in a room that doesn’t dry out.
