How bathroom resealing works in IV16
It is not only bathrooms. Worktop upstands, sink edges and splashback joints all take splashes every day, and water that gets into the back edge of a worktop can swell the board. Kitchen joints get a sealant suited to kitchens, colour-matched where it shows. We work on basins & vanity units, shower trays & enclosures and sinks & splashbacks, and people most often call us about leaks into the floor or ceiling below and gaps where the bath or tray has moved.
At the end, we look at the finished work together. The work normally takes a couple of hours for a single bath or shower, depending on the amount of work.
- First, each joint is checked for movement and signs of water.
- The old silicone is cut out completely, along with the film it leaves 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, normally around 24 hours.

Where we work in IV16
From Evanton to its smaller places, homes across IV16 have bathrooms and kitchens of every age. Sealant and grout wear out in all of them, whether it’s a family bathroom, a rented flat or a hotel en suite.
Homes in Scotland come with their own details: sash and case windows, harled walls and, in the towns and cities, tenement flats. We work across Scotland, including IV16.
Evanton: If you let a flat or house near Alness station, mouldy sealant is one of the first things a new tenant notices, so it’s worth renewing between lets. In and around Evanton, as anywhere, good bathroom resealing starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint.
What affects the cost of bathroom resealing
There’s no set price list, because no two jobs are the same. The quote depends on:
- Mould in or behind the old joints
- How much there is to do
- How easy the joints are to reach
- The old material and how stubborn it is
Some things make a job bigger or smaller: how much old sealant there is and how stubborn it is, any mould to treat, and whether the work is at height. We take all of that into account in your quote.
Asking for a quote
Photos help, but a description is a good start. Try to tell us:
- The rough size of the job
- Photos by email, if that’s easy
- The problem you’ve noticed
- Any access issues, like height or stairs
For a quick quote, get us on the phone, or send an email if you’d rather. Describe what needs sealing and we’ll explain what’s involved.
Signs you need bathroom resealing
Sealing over old silicone is one of the commonest mistakes we find. Fresh silicone cannot grip the old bead underneath, so it lifts, lets water in and traps mould underneath.
The most common problems we see are:
- Smears of silicone across the tiles
- Black spots spreading through the bead
- Water getting behind the kitchen upstand
- A reseal done over the top of the old bead
Looking after it afterwards
No joint lasts for ever, but care makes a real difference. A few tips:
- Wipe up water along the back of the worktop
- Run the extractor fan during and after every shower
- Avoid abrasive pads on the sealant
- Wipe the sealant dry after showering
Check the sealant now and then. A small split or a corner lifting is easy to spot, so if something does not look right, just drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk.
Do not wait for a refit to deal with failed sealant. Sealant is a maintenance item, like the paint on a window frame, and replacing it when it fails protects the rest of the room.
For landlords and businesses
Hotels need rooms back in use, so the work can be planned room by room around your bookings where we can. We’ve worked in hotels as well as homes and businesses.
Housing providers, facilities teams and property managers book us too. Several sites can go on one quote, and we’re fully insured for the work.
Should I try it myself first?
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. Everything old must be removed first.
Some jobs are best left to a professional: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs need the right product, the right access and the right method.
FAQs for IV16
Do you reseal kitchen worktops and sinks too?
Yes. Worktops, sinks and splashbacks are all part of the job, in a kitchen-suitable sealant, matched to the worktop where it’s on show.
How long will the resealing take?
It takes a couple of hours for one bath or shower, or most of a day for a full bathroom and kitchen. We will confirm how long your job needs when we quote.
Do you work for hotels and businesses?
Yes. Commercial and hotel work is a large part of what we do, as well as homes. Working times can be discussed when we quote.
Can new silicone go straight over the old?
No. New silicone won’t bond to old silicone, so it peels away and hides mould and water. We always take the old sealant out completely.
How much does bathroom resealing cost in IV16?
It depends on the job, so we quote each one individually. To get one, drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk with a short description of the job.
Does the resealing come with a guarantee?
Yes, for 12 months. Looking after the joint as we suggest helps it last.
How long does the new silicone need before I use the shower?
Silicone is touch-dry quite quickly, but it takes longer to cure. Leave it around 24 hours before it gets wet, or as long as we advise for that product.
