Why it’s worth doing now in Reay
You don’t need a new bathroom because the sealant looks bad. A new bead often brings the whole room back. If we find a deeper problem, you will hear it from us. In an older home around Reay, damp from a failed joint can get into timber and plaster.
What it costs depends on the size of the job, how hard the old material is to remove and access to the work. You’ll have a clear quote before any work starts.

Bathroom resealing for homes and businesses in Reay
Homes in Reay have the same weak spots as anywhere else: the long edge of the bath, the base of the shower tray, the back of the basin and the line along the worktop. Each one is stripped, cleaned and dried before new silicone goes in. We work on baths, kitchen worktops & upstands and sinks & splashbacks, and common reasons people get in touch are shrunken sealant along the back of a worktop and a bead that has pulled away from the tiles.
In and around a place like Reay, 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, you get the same one-year guarantee in Reay and across Highland.

Quotes for bathroom resealing in Reay
Jobs vary more than people expect. What affects the quote:
- Mould in or behind the old joints
- The size of the job
- How many areas need sealing
- Any working-time requirements on site
We do not show prices on the website, because the cost depends so much on the job itself. Call for a quick quote and we will talk you through it.
Helping us quote
You do not need to know the technical terms. It helps if you can tell us:
- The type of property
- Whether it has been sealed before
- How many joints, rooms or windows are involved
- Where the property is
For a quote, email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk and tell us where the job is and what the problem looks like. You’ll have a clear quote before we start.
What happens on the day
We bring everything the job needs with us, so you do not need to buy or prepare anything. After a quick look at the joints together, we protect the area and start. It normally takes around two hours for one bath or shower, longer for a whole bathroom. Outdoor work around Reay depends on the weather, as sealant needs a dry surface, so external jobs may need to move if the day turns wet. Work indoors isn’t affected.
- We cover the area around the joints we’re working on.
- We cut away the old sealant and clean off what’s left.
- We treat any mould and let the joint dry properly.
- Baths are filled first, then anti-fungal sanitary silicone is applied in a colour to suit.
- The joint is finished neatly and we explain when it can get wet.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before
- Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed
- For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can

Advice
How to look after the new joints
A little care helps the new joints last. We recommend:
- Move toiletries away from the joint
- Dry worktop joints after washing up
- Wipe the sealant dry after showering
- Keep the fan on for a while after bathing
Keep water off the new bead until it has cured, following the cure time we give you. After that, a quick wipe after showering helps keep it clean.
A few black dots in the silicone soon become a black line. Once it’s deep in the silicone, cleaning normally won’t remove it. Replacing the sealant early keeps the job small.
Bathroom resealing around Reay
Reay is within about 2 miles 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. Scotland’s water is generally soft, so sealant and grout see less limescale than in much of England. Mould is another matter: a bathroom that stays damp still turns sealant and grout black.
If you live in an older home near Reay Parish Church, older homes can move a little, which is hard on rigid grout and tired sealant.

Can I do it myself?
If you do try it yourself, take your time over the preparation: remove every trace of old sealant, clean and dry the joint, and follow the product’s cure time. If it does not work out, we can still put it right.
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, such as a straightforward joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.
Common questions in Reay
Do you cover smaller places like Reay?
Yes. Reay is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. Our work covers the whole of Scotland. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
What guarantee comes with bathroom resealing in Reay?
Every job comes with our 12-month guarantee, wherever it is. We’re also fully insured and ARBOMaster approved.
Are you an approved applicator?
Yes. We’re approved under the ARBOMaster scheme, which is run for the Arbo sealant brand.
Is it OK to put new sealant on top of the old bead?
No, never. A bead laid over old silicone soon starts to come away. We remove the old bead completely before resealing.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are glad to have it sorted.
When can I use the bath or shower again?
After around 24 hours in most cases. We’ll tell you the cure time for the product we used.
How long will the resealing take?
It takes half a day or less for one room, longer when the kitchen is included. We will confirm how long your job needs when we quote.

Do you need bathroom resealing in Reay?
Sealing over old silicone is one of the commonest mistakes we find. New silicone won’t bond to old silicone, so it lifts, lets water in and traps mould underneath.
These are the problems we are asked about most:
- Leaks into the floor or ceiling below
- A reseal done over the top of the old bead
- Cracked, shrunken or lifting silicone
- Gaps where the bath or tray has moved
Around Reay, as everywhere, bathroom resealing is only as good as the preparation behind it.
Questions to ask before booking
- What guarantee comes with the work
- What preparation is included
- Which colour the sealant will be
- Is VAT in the price?
