What affects the cost of bathroom resealing
There’s no set price list, because no two jobs are the same. What we look at:
- The number and length of the joints
- Any mould that needs treating
- Working hours on commercial sites
- The number of rooms or windows
The cost depends on how much there is to do, how much old material has to come out and how easy the joints are to reach. You will have a clear quote before any work starts, so you know where you stand.

How we handle bathroom resealing in Scarfskerry
The bead of silicone around a bath, tray or worktop is what keeps water out of the gaps. Once it cracks or goes mouldy, water starts to find its way through into walls, panels and floors. Our team cut the old bead out completely and lay a new one in anti-fungal sanitary silicone. We work on sinks & splashbacks, basins & vanity units and kitchen worktops & upstands, and the jobs we see most are water getting behind the bath panel and gaps between the worktop and the wall.
For a place like Scarfskerry, the job is the same as anywhere: old material out, joints cleaned and dried, and a fresh, even finish. We just plan the journey and access beforehand.
You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Scarfskerry as everywhere else we work.

Can I do it myself?
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. Silicone doesn’t stick to old silicone, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. Everything old must be removed first.
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is, then guaranteed for a year.
Common questions in Scarfskerry
Do you cover smaller places like Scarfskerry?
Yes, we do. Our work covers the whole of Scotland, and smaller places are part of that. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
Is there a guarantee on bathroom resealing in Scarfskerry?
Every job comes with our one-year guarantee, wherever it is. We are also fully insured and ARBOMaster approved.
Can tenants book the work?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are glad to have it sorted.
Are you ARBOMaster approved?
Yes. ARBOMaster is the approved applicator scheme for Arbo sealants, and we’re part of it.
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. Every trace of the old bead is removed first.
What information do you need?
The location, the problem and the rough size of the job. If you can, email a few pictures.
Can you work on commercial sites?
Yes. We work in offices, washrooms, hotels and other commercial premises. Working times can be discussed when we quote.
Can you get rid of the black mould in my sealant?
Yes. We strip the bead, treat the joint and lay new anti-fungal silicone.
Work for landlords, hotels and businesses
Hotels need rooms back in use, so we plan the work room by room. Hotel work is part of what we do, alongside homes and businesses.
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 we are called out for in Scarfskerry
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.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Shrunken sealant along the back of a worktop
- Water getting behind the bath panel
- Smears of silicone across the tiles
- Failed sealant on the screen profile
For jobs in and around Scarfskerry, choosing the right material for each joint is as important as a tidy finish.

How to look after the new joints
How long the joints last depends on use and care. Here’s what we suggest:
- Move toiletries away from the joint
- Run the extractor fan during and after every shower
- Check the joints every few months for splits or lifting
- Stick to a soft cloth and a mild cleaner
Clean the silicone with care: warm soapy water and a soft cloth do the job. Scourers and blades can nick the surface, because a damaged bead gives mould a foothold.
Worktop joints fail quietly. Water gets behind the upstand and into the edge of a laminate worktop, where it can make the board swell. A reseal in time can save the worktop.
What sealant work can’t fix
In fairness, some problems need a different trade:
- Damage behind the tiles that needs a tiler
- Water getting in through the grout rather than the sealant
- Leaks from a shower valve, waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
If in doubt, drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk and we will say what we think.
