About our bathroom resealing in Walls
Before a bath is sealed, it’s filled with water. The weight settles the bath to its lowest point, so the bead isn’t stretched the first time someone gets in. It’s a small step that rushed reseals tend to skip. We work on baths, basins & vanity units and sinks & splashbacks, and common reasons people get in touch are black spots spreading through the bead and leaks into the floor or ceiling below.
Being further from a city does not change the work: 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.
Big or small, it’s backed by our 12-month guarantee.

Surface by surface
Basins & vanity units
Basin joints are short and close to eye level: so we keep the line tidy and even, in white, clear or a colour to suit.
Kitchen worktops & upstands
Worktop joints get wet and wiped every day. The new bead is colour-matched where it shows.
Walls: your questions answered
Is Walls within the area you cover?
Yes. Walls is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. We work across all 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 Walls in your area for bathroom resealing?
Yes. We work across all of Scotland, and Walls is part of that. You can send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk and tell us what needs doing.
Which products do you use?
We choose the sealant for the joint, not the other way round. Where it moves, gets wet or faces the weather makes a difference.
Do you guarantee your resealing?
Yes, a one-year guarantee. Good ventilation and gentle cleaning help it last.
How long will the resealing take?
One bath or shower is around two hours’ work, including cutting out the old sealant. A full bathroom and kitchen can take most of a day.
Can you just seal over the old silicone?
No. Fresh silicone can’t stick to the old bead, so it peels away and hides mould and water. All the old sealant comes out first.
How long before the new sealant can get wet?
We give you the cure time before we leave, and it’s usually around 24 hours. Using it sooner can damage the bead.
Do the sealants smell?
Possibly a little. It fades as the sealant cures, and ventilation helps.
What we do, step by step
On the day, we look over the joints with you first, so you know exactly what we’re doing. 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. In smaller Scottish places, parking is normally less of an issue than access and distance. Let us know how to find you and how to reach the joints, and the visit is planned around that.
- First, each joint is checked for movement and signs of water.
- Every trace of the old bead is removed, including the thin smear on the tiles.
- The joint is cleaned, degreased and treated for mould.
- With the joint dry, and any bath loaded with water, a single bead of anti-fungal silicone is applied.
- The bead is tooled smooth and you are told the cure time, normally around 24 hours.
How to prepare
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before
- Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed
- For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can

Related advice
Leave it or put it right?
Dealing with sealant early is a short job: the work takes two to three hours for a typical bath, depending on how much old sealant there is. Wait for a leak and you may be looking at panels off, drying out and redecorating too. Out of town in Scotland, exposed walls take a lot of weather, and once water gets behind a failed joint, damp in stone or harled walls is slow to dry out.
What you pay reflects the work, not a rough estimate. That’s why we ask about the job first and agree the price before starting.

When to call us in Walls
No sealant lasts indefinitely. Daily water, heat and cleaning products take their toll over the years, so its life depends on how the room is used, cleaned and aired.
Keep an eye out for these signs:
- Leaks into the floor or ceiling below
- A joint torn by a bath that flexes
- Mouldy sealant that has gone black
- Failed sealant on the screen profile
In and around Walls, as anywhere, good bathroom resealing starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint.
Questions to ask before you book
- What product goes in the joint

Bathroom resealing in Walls: local notes
Walls is close to 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. Island jobs need planning around ferries and the weather, so the more notice, the better.
Whether the job is in Walls itself or nearby, the right material for each joint matters as much as a neat finish.
Walls is in the Shetland Islands. Walls gets the same service as everywhere we cover: old sealant removed completely, careful preparation and a one-year guarantee. Walls is one of 63 towns and villages in the Shetland Islands we cover.
Work in ZE2 is quoted and booked the same way as anywhere else. That includes homes and businesses on New Road, Vagaland and Pier Road. Nearby, we also carry out bathroom resealing in Easter Skeld (5 miles south-east), Sandness (6 miles north-west), Melby (6 miles north-west), Aith (8 miles north-east) and Kalliness (9 miles east). We also work in nearby towns such as Lerwick (15 miles east), Sound (15 miles south-east), Scalloway (12 miles south-east) and Brae (14 miles north-east). Remote and island addresses need a little more planning, so please mention your location when you drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk.

How to look after the new joints
Looking after new joints is easy:
- Dry the bead with a towel now and then
- Don’t let bottles sit on the bead
- Don’t leave water standing on kitchen joints
- Let new sealant cure fully before it gets wet
Don’t stand bottles along the bead, as they hold water against it. A quick squeegee after showering keeps water from sitting on the joint.
Mould that starts as a few spots spreads through the bead. Once it’s deep in the silicone, cleaning generally won’t remove it, and nearby grout often goes the same way. Replacing the sealant early keeps the job small.
