Bathroom Resealing in Staxigoe
Our applicators work in Staxigoe on bath, shower, basin, wet room, worktop and sink resealing. Old sealant removed completely, joints prepared properly and every job guaranteed for a year.
- A reseal done over the top of the old bead
- A messy, uneven bead from a previous reseal
- Sealant that has split, shrunk or peeled away
What we do, step by step
We bring everything the job needs with us, so there’s nothing for you to buy. After a quick look at the joints together, the area is protected and the work begins. Most jobs take a couple of hours for a single bath or shower. Somewhere like Staxigoe may be a longer drive, and the journey is planned ahead. Tell us about tracks, gates, a ferry crossing or anything unusual about getting there.
- First the area is protected and every bit of old sealant removed.
- 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.
- We apply anti-fungal sanitary silicone in one even bead and tool it neatly.
- We clear away and tell you when it can get wet, normally after around 24 hours.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed
- Move anything stored near the joints
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit

Advice
Bathroom resealing for homes and businesses in Staxigoe
It isn’t only bathrooms. Worktop upstands, sink edges and splashback joints all take splashes every day, and water behind a laminate worktop can make it swell. Kitchen joints get a sealant suited to kitchens, colour-matched where it shows. Typical jobs include water escaping at the shower enclosure and water getting behind the kitchen upstand, across sinks & splashbacks, basins & vanity units and kitchen worktops & upstands.
A bathroom in a place like Staxigoe 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.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you’re covered after we have gone.

Different surfaces, different methods
Baths
Acrylic baths give a little under load, while steel and cast iron baths move less but still settle when full. Loading the bath with water before sealing allows for it.
Wet rooms
In a wet room, the joints between floor and walls take standing water. They get anti-fungal sanitary silicone, and our work is on the visible joints only.
DIY sealant or a professional job?
If you are set on DIY, put the effort into preparation: take out all the old sealant, make sure the joint is clean and dry, and give it the full cure time. If it fails, we can still redo it.
Not every job suits DIY: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas call for the right materials, safe access and experience.

When to call us in Staxigoe
Not every tube in the shop is meant for a shower. Decorators’ caulk and all-purpose sealants are not made for constant wetting, so they stain, crack or go mouldy before long. A bathroom joint needs anti-fungal sanitary silicone.
The problems people normally mention when they call include:
- Gaps between the worktop and the wall
- Lumpy, uneven sealant from a DIY attempt
- Black mould in the silicone that will not clean off
- Water escaping at the shower enclosure
Managing a site like Wick High School? Then its toilets, changing areas and kitchens need their sealant renewed like any other building’s.

What bathroom resealing looks like in Staxigoe
Staxigoe is within about 1 mile of the coast. Coastal homes, holiday lets and guest houses can see heavy bathroom use in busy months, which wears sealant and grout out faster than in a quiet home. 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.
Rented homes near Wick station change hands often, and mouldy sealant is one of the first things a new tenant notices, so it’s worth renewing between lets.
Staxigoe is about 19 miles south-east of Thurso, in Highland. Jobs in Staxigoe get the same care as everywhere else we work: old sealant removed completely, careful preparation and a one-year guarantee. Across Highland, we cover 253 places, Staxigoe among them.

What sealant work cannot fix
In fairness, some problems need a different trade:

- Damage behind the tiles that needs a tiler
- Failed grout lines across the wall

Staxigoe questions
Is Staxigoe within the area you cover?
Yes, we do. We work across all of Scotland, from towns to the smallest places. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
I let a flat near Wick station. Can you help?
Yes, we work for landlords and letting agents. You can drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk with the address and a few details, and we’ll give you a fixed price before we start.
Is it OK to put new sealant on top of the old bead?
No, and it’s one of the main reasons reseals fail. We cut out all of the old sealant, clean the joint and start again.
How much does bathroom resealing cost in Staxigoe?
The cost depends on the size of the job, access and how much old sealant has to come out. Ask us for a quote.
Does the resealing come with a guarantee?
Yes, for 12 months. Good ventilation and gentle cleaning help it last.
Should I try DIY first?
You can, for simple jobs. The key is preparation: remove all the old material and work on a clean, dry joint. If it doesn’t work out, we can redo it.

Tell us what needs doing and where, with pictures by email if possible. We will ask anything else we need to know.
