St Mary's homes and their sealant
St Mary's is within about 1 mile of the coast. Near the coast, holiday lets and guest houses can see bathrooms used by one guest after another, which wears sealant and grout out faster than in a quiet home. In Scotland, private landlords have to meet the Repairing Standard, which includes keeping fixtures and fittings in reasonable repair. Failed sealant around a bath or shower is worth sorting between tenancies.
For jobs in and around St Mary's, choosing the right material for each joint is as important as a tidy finish.

Nearby you’ll also find Balfour Hospital (5.8 miles north) and Graemeshall Museum (0.5 miles north-east). Not far away are Gaitnip Hill and Loch of Ayre.
Should I try it myself first?
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. Everything old must be removed first.
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that is fine. We remove it and do the joint properly.
Questions from St Mary's
Do you cover smaller places like St Mary's?
Yes. St Mary's 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. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
What guarantee comes with bathroom resealing in St Mary's?
All our work, in St Mary's and everywhere else, comes with a 12-month guarantee. We’re also fully insured and ARBOMaster approved.
Where is Mr Mastic based?
Mr Mastic is based in Crawley. We cover St Mary's and the rest of the Orkney Islands, along with the rest of our area.
Do I have to be there?
For indoor joints, yes, someone needs to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Can you reseal around my kitchen sink and worktop?
Yes, often alongside a bathroom. Next to the sink we use a food-safe product where it’s needed.
How long will the resealing take?
Allow two to three hours for a typical bath, depending on how much old sealant there is. You will know how long to expect before work begins.
How long before the new sealant can get wet?
The surface skins over fairly quickly, but the bead needs longer to cure right through. Leave it around 24 hours before it gets wet, or follow the cure time we give you.
Will it make a mess?
No. We work neatly, protect the area around the joints and tidy up afterwards.
Aftercare tips
Simple care keeps the joints in good condition. Our advice:
- Move toiletries away from the joint
- Keep the fan on for a while after bathing
- Never pick at the silicone with a blade
- Keep an eye on the corners, where splits start
Keep water off the new bead until it has cured, following the cure time we give you. Once it’s cured, wiping it down after use keeps it looking new.
Small signs come before a leak: a corner lifting, a gap behind the bead, a dark line under the silicone or a damp patch on the ceiling below. If you spot one, it’s time to reseal.
How the visit works
On the day, we look over the joints with you first. We protect the surfaces around the joints before any work begins. The work normally takes a couple of hours for a single bath or shower. Somewhere like St Mary's may be a longer drive, and the journey is planned ahead. Mention tracks, gates, ferries or anything else about the route.
- First the area is protected and every bit of old sealant removed, including the film left on the tiles.
- We clean and degrease the joint and treat any mould.
- We let it dry fully and fill the bath with water before sealing.
- We apply anti-fungal sanitary silicone in one even bead and tool it neatly.
- Finally we tidy up and explain the cure time before we leave.
How to prepare
- Tell us about any water getting in
- Mention any sign-in or site rules at work premises
- Clear items away from the joints we are working on

When to call us in St Mary's
Silicone needs a clean, dry surface without any grease to stick to. Traces of soap, bath oil and old sealant stop it gripping, and a joint that looked fine soon begins to come away.
Look out for any of the following:
- Shrunken sealant along the back of a worktop
- A reseal done over the top of the old bead
- Black mould in the silicone that won’t clean off
- A bead that has pulled away from the tiles
Around St Mary's, as everywhere, bathroom resealing is only as good as the preparation behind it.

Surface by surface
Shower trays & enclosures
If a tray moves underfoot, new silicone will not last. We check for movement before we reseal, and tell you if it needs re-bedding first.
Basins & vanity units
Vanity units have long, worktop-style joints against the wall. Water that gets behind can damage the unit, so the joint is sealed in one unbroken line.
