How the visit works
Once we are on site, we check the joints match what you told us. If anything is different, we explain it before carrying on. Most jobs then take a couple of hours for a single bath or shower. For a place like Port Mholair, longer drives are planned in advance. Mention tracks, gates, ferries or anything else about the route.
- First, each joint is checked for movement and signs of water.
- The old silicone is cut out completely, along with the film it leaves 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.
- The bead is tooled smooth and you’re told the cure time, normally around 24 hours.
Before we arrive
- Let us know if you’ve seen damp or leaks
- For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can
- For business premises, tell us about site rules or sign-in

About our bathroom resealing in Port Mholair
A bead that has gone black, split or come away is worth sorting before it lets water through. Just send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk with a photo of the joints, and we will give you a clear quote for bathroom resealing in Port Mholair. We’re often asked to deal with smears of silicone across the tiles and mouldy sealant that has gone black, across kitchen worktops & upstands, wet rooms and baths.
A bathroom in a place like Port Mholair 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.
Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by our 12-month guarantee.

When it is not the sealant
In fairness, there are a few things sealant will not fix:
- Cracked or missing grout between tiles (that is regrouting)
- Movement from a bath with loose feet or no proper support
- Loose or hollow tiles, or failed tanking behind them
If in doubt, email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk and we’ll say what we think.

FAQs for Port Mholair
Is bathroom resealing in Port Mholair guaranteed?
All our work, in Port Mholair and everywhere else, comes with a 12-month guarantee. We’re also fully insured and ARBOMaster approved.
Is Port Mholair within the area you cover?
Yes. Port Mholair 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. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Is it OK to put new sealant on top of the old bead?
No. New silicone will not bond to old silicone, so it peels away and hides mould and water. We always take the old sealant out completely.
Do you hold any approvals?
Yes. ARBOMaster is the approved applicator scheme for Arbo sealants, and we are part of it.
Do you work for letting agents?
Yes, we do. We work in homes, commercial premises and hotels, and we are fully insured.
How long does it take to reseal a bath or shower?
It takes a morning or an afternoon for most single baths and showers. We’ll confirm how long your job needs when we quote.
Do you take out the old sealant first?
Yes, always, and completely. New sealant will not bond properly to old, so any old material comes out before anything new goes in.
Do you reseal kitchen worktops and sinks too?
Yes. The old sealant is cut out and the joint degreased, because cooking grease stops silicone sticking, then a colour-matched bead is laid.
What affects the quote in Port Mholair
We quote each job individually. These are the things that affect it:

DIY sealant or a professional job?
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. New silicone won’t bond to old, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. All the old material has to come out first.
Not every job suits DIY: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs need the right product, the right access and the right method.
For landlords and businesses
Failed sealant is one of the commonest items on a check-out report, and it’s quick to put right between tenancies. We can quote for more than one property at once.
Letting agents often deal with us directly. Tell us the address, the job and how access works and we’ll give you a quote.
Why act early in Port Mholair
A failed joint gets more costly to put right the longer it’s left. Water that gets behind a bath soaks into the floor, the panel and sometimes the ceiling below, and that’s a far bigger job than a reseal. When the nearest tradesperson is a drive away, it’s tempting to leave a small leak, but water behind a failed seal does the most damage when nobody’s watching.
Combining jobs into one visit is generally more efficient than separate visits, so tell us about everything that needs sealing. You will get one clear quote for the whole job.

What bathroom resealing looks like in Port Mholair
Port Mholair is within about 1 mile of the coast. Coastal homes, holiday lets and guest houses can see heavy bathroom use in busy months, and sealant and grout that work that hard wear out sooner. Work on the islands has to be planned around ferry crossings and the weather, so the more notice, the better.
In and around Port Mholair, as anywhere, good bathroom resealing starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint. Managing a site like Aird Primary School? Then we reseal washrooms and kitchens in schools and businesses as well as homes.

Surface by surface
Baths
The long joint down the side of a bath is where most leaks start, especially under a shower. It gets one smooth bead of anti-fungal silicone.
Kitchen worktops & upstands
Kitchen joints need more degreasing than bathroom ones, since cooking leaves a film that stops silicone sticking. The extra cleaning is what makes the bead last.
