Stromness Bathroom Resealing
Professional bathroom resealing in and around Stromness, with old sealant always removed completely and a 12-month guarantee.
- Smears of silicone across the tiles
- A bead that has pulled away from the tiles
- Water getting behind the bath panel
What happens if it’s left?
A failed joint gets more costly to put right the longer it’s left. Once water is behind the bath, it can reach floorboards, panels and the ceiling underneath, turning a small job into a building repair. Exposed walls in smaller Scottish places take a lot of wind and rain, and damp in stone or harled walls takes a long time to dry once water gets behind a joint.
There are no prices on our website, because each job is priced on what it involves. For a quick quote, please send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk and we’ll talk you through it.

Bathroom resealing in Stromness
A fresh bead of silicone changes how a bathroom looks more than most people expect. Black, patchy sealant makes clean tiles look tired, and a neat new joint puts that right in a short visit. Just as important, it closes the gaps water would otherwise get through. If you have cracked, shrunken or lifting silicone and water getting behind the bath panel, we can help, on shower trays & enclosures, kitchen worktops & upstands and wet rooms alike.
In and around a place like Stromness, homes range from older stone-built properties to newer houses. Where a building moves, cracked grout and split sealant are normally the first signs.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something isn’t right with it in that time, tell us and we’ll put it right.

Can I do it myself?
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.

Bathrooms and kitchens in Stromness
Stromness 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. In Scotland, private landlords have to meet the Repairing Standard, which includes keeping fixtures and fittings in reasonable repair. Tired, leaking sealant is worth putting right before a new tenant moves in.
Around Stromness, as everywhere, bathroom resealing is only as good as the preparation behind it.

Stromness: your questions answered
Is there a guarantee on bathroom resealing in Stromness?
Every job comes with our 12-month guarantee, wherever it is. We are also fully insured and ARBOMaster approved.
Will you come out to Stromness?
Yes. Stromness is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. Our work covers the whole of Scotland, including the islands, where work is planned around ferry crossings. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Should I try DIY first?
For a simple, easy-to-reach joint, a careful DIYer can do a reasonable job. Most DIY failures come from sealing over old material, wet joints or too much sealant.
Do the sealants smell?
There can be a smell while the sealant cures, which fades as it sets. Ventilation helps.
Is it messy?
No. We work neatly, protect the area around the joints and tidy up afterwards.
Where is Mr Mastic based?
Our base is in Crawley, West Sussex, and we work across South East England, London and Scotland.
What does bathroom resealing cost?
Size, access and the old material all affect the cost. Ask us for a quote and we will talk you through it.
Can landlords and businesses book you?
Yes, often. We can quote for several properties at once, and between tenancies is a good time for the work.
What we do, step by step
When we arrive, we look over the joints with you first, so there are no surprises. We protect the surfaces around the joints before any work begins. Most jobs take half a day or less for one room, longer when the kitchen is included. For a place like Stromness, longer drives are planned in advance. Mention tracks, gates, ferries or anything else about the route.
- We look at every joint first and check for movement or leaks.
- Every trace of the old bead is removed, including the thin smear on the tiles.
- Joints are degreased and any mould is treated.
- With the joint dry, and any bath loaded with water, a single bead of anti-fungal silicone is applied.
- We tool the bead to a neat finish and give you the cure time, generally around 24 hours.
How to prepare
- Let us know about stairs, lifts or work at height
- Tell us about any previous sealing or DIY attempts
- Clear the area around the work
How to get a quote

When it isn’t the sealant
New sealant can’t fix everything, and we will tell you before we start. Sealant won’t put right:
- Cracks in the tray itself rather than the joint
- Leaks from a shower valve, waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
- Tiles that have come away from the wall
Not sure which it is? You can drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.
Where we work in Stromness
- Baths
- Sinks & splashbacks
- Shower trays & enclosures
- Basins & vanity units
- Wet rooms
- Kitchen worktops & upstands
Signs you need bathroom resealing in Stromness
Mould is the reason many people want their sealant replaced. Bathrooms without good ventilation give mould all the damp it needs, and mould that has grown into the silicone normally won’t clean off.
It’s worth asking for a quote if you see:
- Black mould in the silicone that will not clean off
- Gaps where the bath or tray has moved
- Shrunken sealant along the back of a worktop
- Water escaping at the shower enclosure
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as stromness primary school, we reseal washrooms and kitchens in schools and businesses as well as homes.
