About our bathroom resealing in Plasterfield
Sealant is the soft line between a bath, shower or worktop and the wall. When it splits, shrinks or turns black, water gets behind it. Our team cut the old bead out completely and lay a new one in anti-fungal sanitary silicone. If you are dealing with splits where the tray meets the wall and leaks into the floor or ceiling below, we can put it right, whatever the surface.
In and around a place like Plasterfield, homes range from older stone-built properties to newer houses. Where a building moves, cracked grout and split sealant are generally the first signs.
Big or small, it’s backed by our 12-month guarantee in Plasterfield and across Na h-Eileanan Siar.

Keeping the joints in good condition
Looking after new joints is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Keep the fan on for a while after bathing
- Move toiletries away from the joint
- Use gentle cleaners on the silicone
- Keep an eye on the corners, where splits start
Keep water off the new bead until it has cured, which is generally around 24 hours. Once it’s cured, wiping it down after use keeps it looking new.
There’s no need to wait for a full refurbishment. Like paintwork, sealant needs renewing from time to time, and replacing it when it fails protects the rest of the room.
How the job changes by surface
Wet rooms
In a wet room, the joints between floor and walls take standing water. They get anti-fungal sanitary silicone, working on the surface joints, not the tanking or drainage.
Basins & vanity units
Vanity units have long, worktop-style joints against the wall. If water gets in, the cabinet underneath can swell, so the joint is sealed in one unbroken line.
When it is not the sealant
New sealant cannot fix everything, and we’ll tell you before work begins. Sealant won’t put right:
- Loose or hollow tiles, or failed tanking behind them
- Cracked or missing grout between tiles (that is regrouting)
- A bath or tray that moves because it isn’t properly supported
If in doubt, email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk and we’ll say what we think.

Bathroom resealing around Plasterfield
Plasterfield 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. Island jobs need planning around ferries and the weather, so give us as much notice as you can.
For an older house near a landmark such as Stornoway High Church, walls and floors in older homes can move, and sealant and grout show it first. In and around Plasterfield, as anywhere, good bathroom resealing starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint.
Plasterfield is about 1 mile east of Stornoway, in Na h-Eileanan Siar. Whether you are in the middle of Plasterfield or further out, bathroom resealing is available for homes and businesses alike, from flats and houses to offices and hotels. Across Na h-Eileanan Siar, we cover 87 places, and Plasterfield is one of them.
We work across the HS1 and HS2 postcode area for bathroom resealing and the streets around it. Local streets include Simons Road, Anderson Road and Moss Park, all of which we cover.

The process
On the day, there’s very little for you to do. Point us to the joints and we will get on with it. The work itself takes half a day or less for one room, longer when the kitchen is included. For a place like Plasterfield, longer drives are planned in advance. Tell us about tracks, gates, a ferry crossing or anything unusual about getting there.
- Protection goes down around the bath, shower or worktop.
- We cut away the old sealant and clean off what’s left.
- Mould is treated, then the joint is left to dry thoroughly.
- Any bath is filled with water, then we lay a bead of anti-fungal silicone in white, clear or a matching colour.
- The joint is finished neatly and we explain when it can get wet.
How to prepare
- Let us know about stairs, lifts or work at height
- Clear items away from the joints we are working on
- For business premises, tell us about site rules or sign-in

Your questions about bathroom resealing in Plasterfield
Do you work for hotels and guest houses in Plasterfield?
Yes, we work for hotels as well as homes and businesses. A room-by-room programme keeps most rooms in use while the work goes on.
Is Plasterfield within the area you cover?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. We work across all of Scotland, including the islands, where work is planned around ferry crossings. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
How long before the new sealant can get wet?
After around 24 hours in most cases. We’ll tell you the cure time for the product we used.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes. Every job carries our 12-month guarantee.
Does someone need to be in?
If the work is inside, we need someone to let us in. Once we’ve agreed the job, you do not need to watch us work.
Will it make a mess?
Not at all. We work neatly, protect the area around the joints and tidy up afterwards.
How much does bathroom resealing cost in Plasterfield?
There’s no set price, as it depends on the job: its size, the old material, access and the product needed. We agree the price before any work begins.
Do you remove the old sealant?
Yes. We cut out all the old sealant and clean the joint before applying anything new.
Why act early in Plasterfield
A failed joint gets more costly to put right the longer it’s left. Once water is behind the bath, it can reach floorboards, panels and the ceiling underneath, and that’s a far bigger job than a reseal. Exposed walls in smaller Scottish places take a lot of wind and rain, and once water gets behind a failed joint, damp in stone or harled walls is slow to dry out.
The cost reflects the work involved, not guesswork. That is why we ask a few questions first and agree the price before starting.
Why us?
- Full insurance on every job
- White, clear, grey or another colour, product permitting

DIY sealant or a professional job?
If you are set on DIY, put the effort into preparation: remove every trace of old sealant, clean and dry the joint, and follow the product’s cure time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still put it right.
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that’s fine. We remove it and do the joint properly, so just mention it when you contact us.
