About bathroom resealing in IV17
A fresh bead of silicone changes how a bathroom looks more than most people expect. Mouldy silicone makes even a new bathroom look neglected, and a neat new joint puts that right in a short visit. Just as important, it closes the gaps water would otherwise get through. We work on sinks & splashbacks, shower trays & enclosures and wet rooms, and common reasons people get in touch are water getting behind the kitchen upstand and a messy, uneven bead from a previous reseal.
The work is kept neat and contained to the joints we are treating, so you can carry on as normal. Expect the work to take a couple of hours for one bath or shower, or most of a day for a full bathroom and kitchen, and we explain the cure time before we leave.
- We cover the area around the joints we’re working on.
- 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.
- We finish the joint, clear up and tell you how long to leave it before it gets wet.

Landmarks near Alness
Locally, jobs take us to homes and businesses close to Alness Academy and Rosskeen Parish Church. Alness has its own railway station: Alness station. Other landmarks nearby include County Community Hospital (3.7 miles east) and Contullich Castle (1.5 miles north-west). Not far away are Loch Achnacloich and Udale Bay RSPB reserve.
Bathrooms and kitchens across IV17
Our bathroom resealing work across IV17 covers homes, rentals and businesses, from Alness and Dalmore to the quieter places in between. Wherever the job is, all the old material comes out before anything new goes in.
We work across all of Scotland, from the cities to the islands, and IV17 is part of that. Longer journeys are planned in advance, and outdoor work around the weather. Along the coast in IV17, window and wall joints facing the sea take the brunt of the weather, so they’re often the first to fail. Good preparation and the right sealant help it cope.
Alness: If you look after a building such as Alness Academy, its toilets, changing areas and kitchens need their sealant renewed like any other building’s. Homes close to Rosskeen Parish Church include some older properties, and older homes can move a little, which is hard on rigid grout and tired sealant.

Water getting past a failed joint can damage the building, which matters even more when someone else lives there. Resealing at the right time is simple maintenance.
Failed sealant is one of the commonest items on a check-out report, and it’s easy to sort out between tenants. We can quote for more than one property at once.
What sealant work cannot fix
Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits too:
- Cracks in the tray itself rather than the joint
- A bath or tray that moves because it is not properly supported
- Failed grout lines across the wall
Looking after it afterwards
So the new joints stay in good condition:
- Avoid abrasive pads on the sealant
- Look for lifting corners and small gaps now and then
- Wait for the cure time we give you
- Do not let bottles sit on the bead
Keep bottles and razors off the sealant line, because they trap water against the silicone. Squeegeeing the walls and tray after use helps the joint dry.
Worktop joints fail quietly. Splashes run behind the back edge and soak into the worktop, and the board underneath can swell. A reseal in time can save the worktop.
What affects the cost of bathroom resealing
Jobs vary more than people expect. The main factors:
- How many rooms, windows or areas are involved
- How much old sealant there is and how hard it is to remove
- Any mould that needs treating
- Access and height
Homes and businesses are quoted the same way: the amount of work, how we reach it and what it needs. Call for a quick quote and we will go through it with you.
Asking for a quote
When you call or email, it’s useful to know:
- Access, such as stairs, a lift or height
- Any previous sealing or DIY work
- Whether it’s a home or a business
- Where the job is, and your postcode

Common problems we fix in IV17
Mould is the reason many people want their sealant replaced. Steamy rooms that do not dry out give mould all the damp it needs, and once it has grown into the bead, cleaning rarely gets it out.
Any of these means the joints need attention:
- Gaps between the worktop and the wall
- A bead that has pulled away from the tiles
- Lumpy, uneven sealant from a DIY attempt
- Damp behind the bath or under the tray
IV17: your questions answered
Does the resealing come with a guarantee?
Yes, for 12 months. Looking after the joint as we suggest helps it last.
How long before the new sealant can get wet?
We give you the cure time before we leave, and it’s generally around 24 hours. Using it sooner can damage the bead.
Will it make a mess?
Very little: the area around the joints is protected first, and we tidy up before we go.
Are you fully insured?
Yes, we’re fully insured for domestic and commercial work.
Do you hold any approvals?
Yes. Mr Mastic is an ARBOMaster approved applicator, and we’re fully insured.
How long does a bath or shower reseal take?
That depends on the number of joints and the state of the old sealant. Allow a couple of hours for a typical bath or shower.
Do you take out the old sealant first?
Always. Sealing over the old bead is the commonest cause of early failure, and it’s something we never do.
