Bathroom resealing for homes and businesses in Thurso
Sealant is the soft line between a bath, shower or worktop and the wall. Once it cracks or goes mouldy, water starts to find its way through and into the wall or floor. Every trace of the old sealant is taken out and replaced with anti-fungal sanitary silicone. We work on sinks & splashbacks, shower trays & enclosures and baths, and people most often call us about shrunken sealant along the back of a worktop and failed sealant on the screen profile.
Scottish water is generally soft, so homes in a town like Thurso see less limescale than many parts of England. But mould still finds its way into sealant and grout wherever a room stays damp.
Each job carries a 12-month guarantee.

How it works
A visit follows a simple pattern: we check the joints, mask and protect the surrounding surfaces, do the work and tidy away. It generally takes around two hours for one bath or shower, longer for a whole bathroom. A visit in Thurso needs three things planned: access, parking and where the work is. Outdoor jobs need a dry day, so they can move if the weather turns.
- 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.
- New anti-fungal silicone goes on in a colour to suit and is tooled to a clean finish.
- Finally we tidy up and explain the cure time before we leave.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know about stairs, lifts or work at height
- For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can
- For business premises, tell us about site rules or sign-in

Advice
Why act early in Thurso
Fresh sealant smartens a bathroom or kitchen with very little disruption, which helps when a home is being let or put on the market. Lumpy sealant with smears on the tiles has the opposite effect. For landlords in Thurso, damp and leaks can fall under the Repairing Standard. Replacing failed sealant early is simpler than dealing with a complaint.
What it costs depends on the amount of work, how much old material has to come out and access to the work. We give a clear quote before any work starts.

Bathroom resealing in Thurso: local notes
Thurso 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. 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.
For landlords with property near Thurso station, a reseal between tenants is a quick way to make the bathroom and kitchen look cared for. For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Thurso High School, washroom and kitchen sealant there needs the same care as at home, and schools and businesses are part of our work as well as homes.

Should I try it myself first?
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right 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.
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. New silicone will not bond to old, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. All the old material has to come out first.
Your questions about bathroom resealing in Thurso
What guarantee comes with bathroom resealing in Thurso?
All our work, in Thurso and everywhere else, comes with a 12-month guarantee. We’re also fully insured and ARBOMaster approved.
Is Thurso in your area for bathroom resealing?
Yes, Thurso is within the area we cover. We work across all of Scotland. Just send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk with a few details of the job.
Can I choose the colour of the sealant?
We can use white, clear or a colour to suit. Where the joint is on show, we match it to the surface.
When can I use the bath or shower again?
Silicone is touch-dry quite quickly, but it takes longer to cure. Keep water off it for around 24 hours, or as long as we advise for that product.
What information do you need?
Where the job is, what the problem is and roughly how big it is. If you can, email a few pictures.
Which products do you use?
It depends on the joint: sanitary silicone where it gets wet, and sealants suited to movement or weather elsewhere. Brands we use include Arbo and Everbuild.
Can new silicone go straight over the old?
No. A bead laid over old silicone soon starts to come away, because silicone doesn’t bond to silicone. We remove the old bead completely before resealing.
How long does a bath or shower reseal take?
A single bath or shower takes about a couple of hours, including cutting out the old sealant. A whole bathroom plus the kitchen may take most of the day.
What else we do in Thurso
Aftercare tips
How long the joints last depends on use and care. Here’s what we suggest:
- Clean with a mild bathroom cleaner and a soft cloth
- Wait for the cure time we give you
- Run the extractor fan during and after every shower
- Squeegee the walls and tray after use
Mould needs damp, so keep the room aired. Run the extractor fan during and after a shower, so the bead dries out between uses.
Mould that starts as a few spots spreads through the bead. When it has grown right through, it rarely cleans out. Replacing the sealant early keeps the job small.
