Our bathroom resealing service in IV22
Before a bath is sealed, it’s filled with water. A full bath sits slightly lower than an empty one, so the new joint isn’t pulled apart the first time it’s used. Quick jobs often leave it out, and it makes a real difference. Typical jobs include leaking joints on a shower screen and water getting behind the kitchen upstand, across wet rooms, basins & vanity units and sinks & splashbacks.
You don’t need to clear the whole room or building before we come, just the space around the work. Everything nearby is protected, and the work takes a morning or an afternoon for most single baths and showers in most cases.
- We protect the area and cut out all of the old sealant.
- We clean and degrease the joint and treat any mould.
- We let it dry fully and fill the bath with water before sealing.
- We apply anti-fungal sanitary silicone in one even bead and tool it neatly.
- Finally we tidy up and explain the cure time before we leave.

Where we work in IV22
In IV22, bathroom resealing takes in flats, houses, rentals and businesses, from Poolewe, Àird and Aultbea to the quieter places in between. Wherever the job is, all the old material comes out before anything new goes in.
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 IV22. Coastal guest houses and holiday lets in IV22 can see heavy use in busy months, which is hard on sealant and grout.
Poolewe: In and around Poolewe, as anywhere, good bathroom resealing starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint. For jobs in and around Poolewe, choosing the right material for each joint is as important as a tidy finish.
When something else is needed
We will not take on work that will not last, so these are the limits:
- Cracks in the tray itself rather than the joint
- Water coming from the plumbing rather than the joint
- Cracked or missing grout between tiles (that is regrouting)
Leave it or put it right?
Bleach and mould sprays may lighten black marks for a while, but where mould is inside the silicone it generally comes back. Cutting it out and resealing with anti-fungal silicone is the fix that lasts.

Aftercare tips
Good habits help new joints last longer. Our tips:
- Check the joints every few months for splits or lifting
- Stick to a soft cloth and a mild cleaner
- Move toiletries away from the joint
- Run the extractor fan during and after every shower
Check the sealant now and then. A small split or a corner lifting is easy to spot, and if anything looks wrong, just send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk.
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.
DIY sealant or a professional job?
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions, and the work is guaranteed for a year.
If you’re set on DIY, put the effort into preparation: take out all the old sealant, make sure the joint is clean and dry, and give it the full cure time. If it does not work out, we can still put it right.
Different surfaces, different methods
Wet rooms
A wet room floor and its walls can move independently, so the corners need a flexible seal, not grout. Where grout in a corner has cracked, we can replace it with sealant.
Shower trays & enclosures
Shower trays are sealed to the wall, and enclosures are sealed to the tray and tiles. Both get soaked every time the shower runs, so both are resealed with anti-fungal sanitary silicone.
IV22 questions
Do you guarantee your resealing?
Yes, a 12-month guarantee. Good ventilation and gentle cleaning help it last.
Do you work for letting agents?
Yes. We work for householders, landlords, letting agents, businesses and hotels across Highland.
Is it worth trying it myself?
For a simple, easy-to-reach joint, a careful DIYer can do a reasonable job. The usual mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using too much.
Do the sealants smell?
Some sealants have a smell while they cure, which fades as it sets. Ventilation helps.
How much does bathroom resealing cost in IV22?
Every job is different, so each one gets its own quote. To get one, drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk and tell us what needs doing and where.
Will the old sealant be removed?
Yes, every time. New silicone does not stick to old silicone, so the joint is cleaned back first.
Do I need to be at home?
It depends on the job. For work indoors, someone needs to let us in, while outside work can sometimes be arranged differently.
