What affects the quote in Toab
Jobs vary more than people expect. The main factors:
- Whether old sealant or filler has to be cut out
- Any mould that needs treating
- The type of sealant required
- How many rooms, windows or areas are involved
The cost reflects the work involved, not guesswork. That is why we ask a few questions first and give you a clear price before any work starts.
What we need to know
When you call or email, it’s useful to know:
- What the problem is, such as mould, gaps, leaks or cracking
- Whether it has been sealed before
- Whether it’s a home or a business
- Roughly how big the job is

Bathroom resealing in Toab, done properly
Mr Mastic has more than 20 years’ experience of sealant work, and our applicators reseal bathrooms and kitchens across Toab. We’re ARBOMaster approved and fully insured, and the work comes with a 12-month guarantee. We work on kitchen worktops & upstands, basins & vanity units and shower trays & enclosures, and the jobs we see most are shrunken sealant along the back of a worktop and two layers of silicone, both failing.
For a place like Toab, the job is the same as anywhere: everything old is cut out, the joints are cleaned and dried, and new sealant or grout goes in. The journey and access are simply planned in advance.
Each job carries a 12-month guarantee, large or small.

What happens if it’s left?
Leaving a split or mouldy bead only stores up trouble. Water that gets behind a bath soaks into the floor, the panel and sometimes the ceiling below, and that is a far bigger job than a reseal. In an older home around Toab, damp from a failed joint can get into timber and plaster.
Combining jobs into one visit is usually more efficient than separate visits, so it’s worth mentioning everything you’d like done. We’ll give you a clear price for the lot.
Why book with us
- Fully insured
- Approved under the ARBOMaster scheme
- Any old sealant cut out fully, not covered over

What we’re called out for in Toab
Older sealant shrinks and hardens. In kitchens it often shrinks away from the back edge, opening a hairline gap that lets water and crumbs in. Hot pans and harsh cleaners don’t help.
It’s worth asking for a quote if you see:
- Failed sealant on the screen profile
- Splits where the tray meets the wall
- Lumpy, uneven sealant from a DIY attempt
- Damp behind the bath or under the tray
For jobs in and around Toab, choosing the right material for each joint is as important as a tidy finish.
What your quote should include
- What insurance they hold
- Which sealant they’ll use, and why
- What guarantee comes with the work
- What the quote includes, VAT included or not
What we do, step by step
A visit follows a simple pattern: we check the joints, mask and protect the surrounding surfaces, carry out the job and clear up. It generally takes two to three hours for a typical bath, depending on how much old sealant there is. Somewhere like Toab 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.
- Protection goes down around the bath, shower or worktop.
- Old sealant is sliced away and the residue removed.
- We treat any mould and let the joint dry properly.
- Any bath is filled with water, then we lay a bead of anti-fungal silicone in white, clear or a matching colour.
- The joint is finished neatly and we explain when it can get wet.
How to prepare
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit
- Clear the area around the work
- Tell us if parking is tricky

Advice
Bathroom resealing in Toab: local notes
Toab is close to the coast. Coastal homes, holiday lets and guest houses can see heavy bathroom use in busy months, and sealant and grout that work that hard wear out sooner. Private landlords in Scotland must be registered and meet the Repairing Standard, which covers keeping fixtures and fittings in a reasonable state of repair. Failed sealant around a bath or shower is worth sorting between tenancies.
Around Toab, as everywhere, bathroom resealing is only as good as the preparation behind it.

Well-known places in the area include Shetland Crofthouse Museum (1.9 miles north). Green spaces nearby include Loch of Huesbreck and Sumburgh Head RSPB reserve.
Can I do it myself?
If you do try it yourself, take your time over the 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.
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and does not move well, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.

Toab questions
Is Toab within the area you cover?
Yes. Toab 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.
Is there a guarantee on bathroom resealing in Toab?
Every job comes with our 12-month guarantee, wherever it is. We are fully insured, and an ARBOMaster approved applicator.
Which products do you use?
The product depends on the job: sanitary silicone where it gets wet, and sealants suited to movement or weather elsewhere. We use products from Arbo and Everbuild.
Can you get rid of the black mould in my sealant?
Yes, we can. The old sealant comes out, the mould is treated, and we reseal with anti-fungal sanitary silicone.
What do you need from me for a quote?
Just the basics: where it is, what you’ve noticed and how we reach it. Then email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk.
Can you do several jobs on one visit?
Yes. Several rooms, windows or areas can go on one quote.
Does someone need to be in?
That depends on where the joints are. For work indoors, someone needs to let us in, while outside work can sometimes be arranged differently.
Can you just seal over the old silicone?
No, never. Sealing over the top looks fine for a few weeks, then lifts, because silicone does not bond to silicone. Every trace of the old bead is removed first.
