How we handle bathroom resealing in Na Gearrannan
Resealing is a small job that makes a big difference. Mouldy silicone makes even a new bathroom look neglected, and a neat new joint puts that right in a short visit. Just as important, it closes the gaps water would otherwise get through. We work on basins & vanity units, shower trays & enclosures and baths, and people most often call us about smears of silicone across the tiles and black mould in the silicone that won’t clean off.
Across smaller places in Scotland, homes range from stone and harled cottages to newer houses. Where a building moves, cracked grout and split sealant are generally the first signs.
All our work comes with our one-year guarantee.

FAQs for Na Gearrannan
Is bathroom resealing in Na Gearrannan guaranteed?
Every job comes with our 12-month guarantee, wherever it is. We’re also fully insured and ARBOMaster approved.
Will you come out to Na Gearrannan?
Yes. Na Gearrannan is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. We work across all of Scotland, including the islands, where work is planned around ferry crossings. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
Should I try DIY first?
Some simple jobs can be done by a careful DIYer. Most DIY failures come from sealing over old material, wet joints or too much sealant.
What colours of sealant can you use?
You’re not limited to white: clear, white and colours chosen to suit the room. We’ll talk it through when we quote.
What sealant do you use?
We choose the sealant for the joint, not the other way round. Where it moves, gets wet or faces the weather makes a difference, and we’ll tell you what we’re using.
Can you work on commercial sites?
Yes, regularly. We can plan bigger jobs in stages to suit the site.
Can new silicone go straight over the old?
No. New silicone won’t bond to old silicone, so it peels away and hides mould and water. All the old sealant comes out first.
What do you need from me for a quote?
A short description and the location. We will ask anything else we need to know.
Keeping the joints in good condition
Joint life depends on how it’s used and looked after. Here’s what we suggest:
- Stick to a soft cloth and a mild cleaner
- Dry the bead with a towel now and then
- Avoid abrasive pads on the sealant
- Run the extractor fan during and after every shower
Mould needs damp, so keep the room aired. Use the fan, or open a window, while you bathe and for a while afterwards, so the silicone gets a chance to dry.
A split bead lets water through every time the bath or shower is used. Over time that water reaches floors, walls and ceilings. Early resealing closes the gap before damage is done.
Do you need bathroom resealing in Na Gearrannan?
No sealant lasts indefinitely. Every shower, every splash and every wipe with a cleaner take their toll over the years, and how long it lasts comes down to use, cleaning and ventilation.
Common reasons people contact us are:
- Leaking joints on a shower screen
- Splits where the tray meets the wall
- Black spots spreading through the bead
- Smears of silicone across the tiles
For jobs in and around Na Gearrannan, choosing the right material for each joint is as important as a tidy finish.

How it works
At the end, we look at the finished work together and tell you how long to leave it. The visit itself usually takes a morning or an afternoon for most single baths and showers, depending on the size of the job. Around Na Gearrannan, distance and access matter more than parking. Let us know how to find you and how to reach the joints.
- We look at every joint first and check for movement or leaks.
- Every trace of the old bead is removed, including the thin smear on the tiles.
- Joints are degreased and any mould is treated.
- When the joint is dry, and a bath has been filled with water, the new silicone goes on.
- We tool the bead to a neat finish and give you the cure time, normally around 24 hours.
Before we arrive
- Move anything stored near the joints
- Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive

Related advice
Different surfaces, different methods
Baths
Baths move more than any other fitting, so we fill it with water before sealing. That way the joint is laid with the bath at its heaviest and isn’t stretched when it’s used.
Kitchen worktops & upstands
Kitchen joints need more degreasing than bathroom ones, because cooking grease stops sealant bonding. Proper degreasing is what helps the new joint last.
What bathroom resealing looks like in Na Gearrannan
Na Gearrannan 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. 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.
Around Na Gearrannan, as everywhere, bathroom resealing is only as good as the preparation behind it.

Honest limits
New sealant can’t fix everything, and we’d rather say so up front. Sealant won’t put right:
- Tiles that have come away from the wall
- Failed grout lines across the wall
- Cracks in the tray itself rather than the joint
If in doubt, drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk and we’ll say what we think.
