Bathroom Resealing in Murkle
Bathroom resealing across Murkle and nearby, with every bit of old sealant taken out first and a one-year guarantee.

Bathroom resealing in Murkle, done properly
We fill the bath before sealing it. The weight settles the bath to its lowest point, so the new joint isn’t pulled apart the first time it’s used. It’s a small step that rushed reseals tend to skip. If you’re dealing with water getting behind the bath panel and sealant that has split, shrunk or peeled away, we can put it right.
Bathrooms in smaller places like Murkle 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.
You are covered for a year from the day we finish. If there’s a problem with it, please email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk.

How it works
Every visit runs the same way: we check the joints, protect the area around them, carry out the job and clear up. It normally takes a couple of hours for one bath or shower, or most of a day for a full bathroom and kitchen. In smaller Scottish places, parking is generally less of an issue than access and distance. Tell us how to find the property and how to reach the work.
- 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.
- 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, usually around 24 hours.
Preparing for the visit
- Move anything stored near the joints
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive
- Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work

Surface by surface
Sinks & splashbacks
Splashbacks in glass, tile or acrylic meet the worktop in a long joint. It’s resealed in white, clear or a colour to suit.
Kitchen worktops & upstands
Upstands and back edges are cut out, cleaned of grease and resealed, since cooking leaves a film that stops silicone sticking. Proper degreasing is what helps the new joint last.
For landlords and businesses
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.
Hotels need rooms back in use, so the work can be planned room by room. Hotel work is part of what we do, alongside homes and businesses.
Bathroom resealing around Murkle
Murkle is within about 1 mile of the coast. Near the coast, holiday lets and guest houses can see bathrooms used by one guest after another, and sealant and grout that work that hard wear out sooner. In Scotland, private landlords have to meet the Repairing Standard, which covers keeping fixtures and fittings in a reasonable state of repair. Tired, leaking sealant is worth putting right before a new tenant moves in.
In and around Murkle, as anywhere, good bathroom resealing starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint.

Asking for a quote
Before you ask for a quote, have a think about:

- Pictures of the joints, sent by email
A good description makes for an accurate quote. Let us know the location, the problem and roughly how many joints, and add pictures by email if you can.
When it is not the sealant
In fairness, some problems need a different trade:
- A bath or tray that moves because it isn’t properly supported
- A leaking waste, trap or valve
- Cracks in the tray itself rather than the joint
Not sure which it is? You can send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk and we will tell you honestly.

Does the resealing come with a guarantee?

What colours of sealant can you use?
Most people choose white or clear, and other colours are available to suit tiles, trays and worktops. Tell us what you’d like when you get in touch.
Can mouldy silicone be sorted out?
Yes. Once mould has grown into the silicone, it normally cannot be cleaned out for good, so we cut it out, treat the joint and reseal with anti-fungal silicone.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. Full insurance covers our work.
Is there any odour?
Some sealants have a smell while they cure, but it fades. Ventilation helps.
Common problems we fix in Murkle
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.
It’s worth asking for a quote if you see:
- Mouldy sealant that has gone black
- Damp behind the bath or under the tray
- Cracked, shrunken or lifting silicone
- Gaps where the bath or tray has moved
Letting a property close to Thurso station? Then fresh sealant around the bath, shower and sink between tenancies helps a property present well and keeps leaks at bay.
Questions to ask before you book
- How much experience the applicator has
- What the cure time is
- Is the old sealant removed completely?
- What the quote includes, VAT included or not
Looking after it afterwards
After the cure time, these simple habits help:
- Do not let bottles sit on the bead
- Dry the bead with a towel now and then
- Never pick at the silicone with a blade
- Use gentle cleaners on the silicone
Have a look at the joints every few months. A small split or a corner lifting is easy to spot, so if something does not look right, just send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk.
Watch for the early signs: lifting ends, gaps, dark shadows under the bead or a stain downstairs. Any of these means the joint needs attention.
