What the job involves on each surface
Sinks & splashbacks
The edge of an inset sink is a common place for water to get under the worktop. We reseal the visible edge of the sink where it has failed.
Wet rooms
If a wet room leaks, the cause may be the tanking or the drain rather than the joints. We reseal the joints and will tell you if the water seems to be coming from somewhere else.

Signs you need bathroom resealing in Pierowall
Not every tube in the shop is meant for a shower. Acrylic caulk and general-purpose sealants aren’t designed for a joint that’s wet every day, so they crack, discolour or grow mould quickly. A bathroom joint needs anti-fungal sanitary silicone.
Common reasons people contact us are:
- Lumpy, uneven sealant from a DIY attempt
- Leaks into the floor or ceiling below
- A reseal done over the top of the old bead
- Gaps where the bath or tray has moved
In and around Pierowall, as anywhere, good bathroom resealing starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint.
Questions to ask before booking
- What the quote includes, VAT included or not
- What happens if they find a problem under the old sealant
- What guarantee comes with the work
- Who does the work, and how experienced they are
Should I try it myself first?
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
A DIY attempt does not rule out a professional job. We remove it and do the joint properly, so tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Pierowall
We work for landlords and agents as well as householders. Sealant work between tenants is a simple way to keep a property in good order.
Water getting past a failed joint can damage the building, which is a bigger problem in a rented property. Keeping joints in good order is simple maintenance that we can handle for you.

What bathroom resealing looks like in Pierowall
Pierowall is close to 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. Scotland’s water is generally soft, so sealant and grout see less limescale than in much of England. But mould still grows into sealant and grout in a room that doesn’t dry out.
In the older streets around Baptist Church, older homes can move a little, which is hard on rigid grout and tired sealant.

How the visit works
When we get to you, we compare the joints with what we discussed. If we find something unexpected, we talk it through with you first. After that, the work takes two to three hours for a typical bath, depending on how much old sealant there is. In smaller Scottish places, parking is normally less of an issue than access and distance. Let us know how to find you and how to reach the joints, and the visit is planned around that.
- We start by protecting the area and stripping out the old bead, including the film left on the tiles.
- We clean and degrease the joint and treat any mould.
- We let it dry fully and fill the bath with water before sealing.
- New anti-fungal silicone goes on in a colour to suit and is tooled to a clean finish.
- We tidy up and give you the cure time, normally around 24 hours.
Preparing for the visit
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before
- Tell us about access, such as stairs, a lift or high-level joints
Getting a quote
For a quick quote, get us on the phone, or email us if that is easier. Tell us about the joints that need doing and we will talk you through the work before giving you a price.
Advice
Keeping the joints in good condition
So the new joints stay in good condition:
- Clean with a mild bathroom cleaner and a soft cloth
- Dry worktop joints after washing up
- Run the extractor fan during and after every shower
- Don’t let bottles sit on the bead
Have a look at the joints every few months. A small split or a corner lifting is easy to spot, and if anything looks wrong, just drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk.
Each shower pushes a little more water through a failed joint. Left alone, it soaks into the floor, the wall behind the tiles or the ceiling below. Resealing early stops it.
What we cannot put right
We’d rather tell you now than do work that will not last, so here’s what sealant cannot put right:
- Damage behind the tiles that needs a tiler
- Water coming from the plumbing rather than the joint
- Failed grout lines across the wall
If in doubt, drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk and we’ll say what we think before booking.
