Bathroom & kitchen resealing in Marybank, Highland
Bath, shower, basin, wet room, worktop and sink resealing for homes and businesses in Marybank and across Highland. ARBOMaster approved applicators, fully insured, with a 12-month guarantee.
- Gaps where the bath or tray has moved
- Damp behind the bath or under the tray
- Black mould in the silicone that will not clean off
The process
Most of a good job is in the preparation, so that is where we spend the time. Joints are cleaned back and dried before anything new goes in. All told, the work takes around two hours for one bath or shower, longer for a whole bathroom. Somewhere like Marybank may be a longer drive, and the journey is planned ahead. Tell us about tracks, gates, a ferry crossing or anything unusual about getting there.
- We look at every joint first and check for movement or leaks.
- 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.
- We tool the bead to a neat finish and give you the cure time, normally around 24 hours.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know if you’ve seen damp or leaks
- Mention any tricky access
- Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work

Advice
How we handle bathroom resealing in Marybank
Across Marybank, the joints we reseal are the ones that fail in any home: bath edges, tray joints, basin backs and kitchen upstands. Every joint is cut out, cleaned and left dry before it’s resealed. If you’re dealing with black mould in the silicone that won’t clean off and sealant that has split, shrunk or peeled away, we can put it right.
A bathroom in a place like Marybank 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.
Every job comes with a 12-month guarantee, wherever you are in Highland.

What affects the cost of bathroom resealing
For a quick quote, just ask. The main things that affect it are:
- Whether old sealant or filler has to be cut out
- How many rooms, windows or areas are involved
- Mould in or behind the old joints
- The size of the job
The cost depends on the amount of work, how hard the old material is to remove and how easy the joints are to reach. We give a clear quote before work begins, so you know where you stand.

Questions from Marybank
Do you work for landlords with property near Muir of Ord station?
Yes, we work for landlords and agents. You can send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk with the address and a few details, and we will give you a fixed price before any work starts.
Do you cover smaller places like Marybank?
Yes, we do. Our work covers the whole of Scotland, and smaller places are part of that. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
Do you guarantee your resealing?
Yes, for 12 months. Good ventilation and gentle cleaning help it last.
Do you do commercial work?
Yes. We can plan bigger jobs in stages.
How long will the resealing take?
It takes two to three hours for a typical bath, depending on how much old sealant there is. We will confirm how long your job needs when we quote.
When can I use the bath or shower again?
Silicone is touch-dry quite quickly, but it takes longer to cure. Leave it around 24 hours before it gets wet, or as long as we advise for that product.
What should I tell you?
A short description and the location, with pictures by email if possible. We’ll ask anything else we need to know.
Can I do it myself?
For a simple, easy-to-reach joint, a careful DIYer can do a reasonable job. Most DIY failures come from sealing over old material, wet joints or too much sealant.
What sealant work cannot fix
We won’t take on work that will not last, so here’s what sealant cannot put right:
- Loose or hollow tiles, or failed tanking behind them
- A tray that rocks until it’s re-bedded
- Water getting in through the grout rather than the sealant
If in doubt, send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk and we will say what we think before booking.
Joints and surfaces we work on
- Baths
- Shower trays & enclosures
- Wet rooms
- Basins & vanity units
- Sinks & splashbacks
- Kitchen worktops & upstands
For landlords and businesses
Whether it’s one flat or a portfolio, you get the same standard of work: old sealant fully removed, joints prepared properly and a 12-month guarantee.
Hotels need rooms back in use, so the work can be planned room by room around your bookings where we can. We have worked in hotels as well as homes and businesses.
Why deal with it now?
Bleach and mould sprays may lighten black marks for a while, but mould that has grown into the sealant tends to return. Cutting it out and resealing with anti-fungal silicone is the fix that lasts. Around Marybank, 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.
Commercial jobs are quoted on the same basis as homes: the amount of work, the access and the products needed, plus any working-time requirements on site. Ask us for a quote and we will explain what it covers.

Can I do it myself?
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is.
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.

Different surfaces, different methods
Basins & vanity units
The back of a basin gets wet every time someone washes. Corners behind basins are where mould tends to start, so it’s cut out and renewed just like a bath joint.
Kitchen worktops & upstands
Laminate worktops swell if water gets into the core. A continuous bead along the back keeps water out, as long as the worktop itself is firmly fixed.
What bathroom resealing looks like in Marybank
Private landlords in Scotland must be registered and meet the Repairing Standard, which covers keeping fixtures and fittings in a reasonable state of repair. Failed sealant around a bath or shower is worth sorting between tenancies. 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 does not dry out.
For landlords with property near Muir of Ord station, mouldy sealant is one of the first things a new tenant notices, so it’s worth renewing between lets. Around Marybank, as everywhere, bathroom resealing is only as good as the preparation behind it.
