Bathroom resealing in Sullom
We fill the bath before sealing it. The weight settles the bath to its lowest point, so the bead isn’t stretched the first time someone gets in. Quick jobs often leave it out, and it makes a real difference. We’re often asked to deal with mouldy sealant that has gone black and new sealant laid over old sealant that is now lifting, on baths, kitchen worktops & upstands and sinks & splashbacks.
In and around a place like Sullom, homes range from older stone-built properties to newer houses. Older buildings can move a little, and that shows first in cracked grout and split sealant.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

When to call us in Sullom
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.
If you can see any of these, it’s time to have the joints looked at:
- A joint torn by a bath that flexes
- Water getting behind the kitchen upstand
- A bead that has pulled away from the tiles
- Two layers of silicone, both failing
Around Sullom, as everywhere, bathroom resealing is only as good as the preparation behind it.

How much does bathroom resealing cost in Sullom?
Size, access and the old material all affect the cost. Call for a quick quote and we’ll talk you through it.
DIY versus a professional finish
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
What bathroom resealing looks like in Sullom
Sullom 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, and sealant and grout that work that hard wear out sooner. Scottish Water supplies are generally soft, so limescale is less of a problem than in hard-water areas. But mould still grows into sealant and grout in a room that does not dry out.
For jobs in and around Sullom, choosing the right material for each joint is as important as a tidy finish.
Sullom is in the Shetland Islands. Jobs in Sullom get the same care as everywhere else we work: the old material taken out, joints prepared properly and a 12-month guarantee. Across the Shetland Islands, we cover 63 places, Sullom among them.
Our applicators cover all of ZE2 for bathroom resealing. Close by, we work in Scatsta (2 miles east), Brae (3 miles south), Hogaland (4 miles north), Urafirth (5 miles north-west) and Hillswick (5 miles north-west).

The process
At the end, we look at the finished work together. The visit itself generally takes a couple of hours for a single bath or shower, depending on the size of the job. Outside jobs in Sullom need a dry day, because sealant will not bond to a wet joint, so an outdoor job can move if the forecast changes. Indoor work goes ahead whatever the weather.
- 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.
- When the joint is dry, and a bath has been filled with water, the new silicone goes on.
- We tool the bead to a neat finish and give you the cure time, generally around 24 hours.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know about stairs, lifts or work at height
- For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children

Advice
For landlords and businesses
A neglected joint can let water reach the structure, which is a bigger problem in a rented property. Resealing at the right time is simple maintenance.
In hotels, rooms out of use cost money, so we plan the work room by room. We’ve worked in hotels as well as homes and businesses.
What else we do in Sullom
Different surfaces, different methods
Kitchen worktops & upstands
Worktop joints get wet and wiped every day. We seal them in a colour that suits the worktop.
Basins & vanity units
On a basin, neatness shows: so we keep the line tidy and even, finished in a colour that suits the basin.
What sealant work cannot fix
Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits:
- Cracks in the tray itself rather than the joint
- Water coming from the plumbing rather than the joint
- Loose or hollow tiles, or failed tanking behind them
Not sure which it is? You can email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk and we will tell you honestly.
