What we do, step by step
Our applicators work methodically: protection first, then preparation, sealing and a tidy-up. Typically it takes a couple of hours for a single bath or shower, and the area is left clean. Outside jobs in Shieldaig need a dry day, because sealant will not bond to a wet joint, so external jobs may need to move if the day turns wet. Indoor work goes ahead whatever the weather.
- We protect the area and cut out all of the old sealant, including the film left on the tiles.
- The joint is cleaned, degreased and treated for mould.
- Once it’s dry, any bath is filled so the bead is laid with it at its heaviest.
- 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, usually around 24 hours.
Before we arrive
- Mention any sign-in or site rules at work premises
- Let us know about stairs, lifts or work at height
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children

Bathroom resealing for homes and businesses in Shieldaig
Before a bath is sealed, it’s filled with water. A full bath sits slightly lower than an empty one, so the new joint isn’t pulled apart the first time it’s used. It’s a small step that rushed reseals tend to skip. We are often asked to deal with a joint torn by a bath that flexes and water getting behind the bath panel, across wet rooms, sinks & splashbacks and shower trays & enclosures.
Across smaller places in Scotland, homes range from stone and harled cottages to newer houses. Older buildings can move a little, and that shows first in cracked grout and split sealant.
Every job comes with a 12-month guarantee.

When something else is needed
It helps to know what we cannot do too:
- A tray or bath that is cracked through
- Cracked or missing grout between tiles (that is regrouting)
- Movement from a bath with loose feet or no proper support
If you’re not sure, just send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk and we will give you a straight answer before you book.
Surfaces we seal
- Kitchen worktops & upstands
- Baths
- Shower trays & enclosures
- Wet rooms
- Sinks & splashbacks
- Basins & vanity units
Should I try it myself 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, and the work is guaranteed for a year.
A DIY attempt doesn’t rule out a professional job. We cut it out and start again, so tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
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. Where the sealant around the visible edge has failed, we renew it.
Basins & vanity units
On a basin, neatness shows: so we keep the line tidy and even, finished in a colour that suits the basin.
Shieldaig homes and their sealant
Shieldaig 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 does not dry out.
In and around Shieldaig, as anywhere, good bathroom resealing starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint.

Your questions about bathroom resealing in Shieldaig
Is bathroom resealing in Shieldaig guaranteed?
Every job comes with our 12-month guarantee, wherever it is. We’re fully insured, and an ARBOMaster approved applicator.
Is Shieldaig in your area for bathroom resealing?
Yes. We work across all of Scotland, and Shieldaig is part of that. You can drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk and tell us what needs doing.
Are you insured?
Yes. Full insurance covers our work, and we can confirm the details when we quote.
Do you take out the old sealant first?
Yes. Sealing over the old bead is the commonest cause of early failure, and it’s something we never do.
Do I need to be at home?
We need access to the joints, so we’ll agree that with you when we book. Indoors, that generally means someone at home.
Will it make a mess?
No. We work neatly, protect the area around the joints and tidy up afterwards.
What colours of sealant can you use?
White, clear and a range of colours are available. Where the joint is on show, we match it to the surface.
Do you reseal kitchen worktops and sinks too?
Yes. We reseal worktop upstands, sinks and splashbacks, with a sealant suited to kitchens, colour-matched where it shows.

Do you need bathroom resealing in Shieldaig?
Mould is the reason many people want their sealant replaced. Steamy rooms that do not dry out give mould all the damp it needs, and mould that has grown into the silicone generally won’t clean off.
Look out for any of the following:
- Mouldy sealant that has gone black
- Leaking joints on a shower screen
- Leaks into the floor or ceiling below
- Gaps where the bath or tray has moved
Whether the job is in Shieldaig itself or nearby, the right material for each joint matters as much as a neat finish.
Questions to ask before booking
- Which colour the sealant will be
- What happens if they find a problem under the old sealant
- The length of the guarantee
- Whether all the old sealant comes out first
Why it’s worth doing now in Shieldaig
Bleach and mould sprays may lighten black marks for a while, but mould that has grown into the sealant tends to return. The lasting answer is to remove the bead and start again. Around Shieldaig, water from a failed joint in an older stone home can soak into timber and plaster, which is a far bigger job than the sealant.
Homes and businesses are quoted the same way: how much there is to do, how we reach it and what it needs, along with when we can work on site. Call for a quick quote and we will go through it with you.
