How bathroom resealing works in IV40
We fill the bath before sealing it. The weight settles the bath to its lowest point, so the bead isn’t stretched the first time someone gets in. Quick jobs often leave it out, and it makes a real difference. We work on sinks & splashbacks, basins & vanity units and baths, and the jobs we see most are shrunken sealant along the back of a worktop and smears of silicone across the tiles.
On the day, we start by going over the job with you. Surfaces next to the work are protected before any work begins. Most jobs take around two hours for one bath or shower, longer for a whole bathroom.
- We look at every joint first and check for movement or leaks.
- The old silicone is cut out completely, along with the film it leaves 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’re told the cure time, normally around 24 hours.

Where we work in IV40
In IV40, bathroom resealing takes in flats, houses, rentals and businesses, from Kyle of Lochalsh, Balmacara and Carndu to the quieter places in between. The method is the same everywhere: old material cut out, joints cleaned and dried, and a fresh finish laid.
We work across all of Scotland, from the cities to the islands, and IV40 is part of that. Longer journeys are planned in advance, and outdoor work around the weather. In the coastal parts of IV40, the sea-facing side of a building takes the most weather, and that’s where sealant normally gives up first. Good preparation and the right sealant help it cope.
Kyle of Lochalsh: Letting a property close to Kyle of Lochalsh station? Then mouldy sealant is one of the first things a new tenant notices, so it’s worth renewing between lets. If you look after a building such as Lochalsh School, we reseal washrooms and kitchens in schools and businesses as well as homes.
What affects the cost of bathroom resealing
Call for a quick quote. The main things that affect it are:
- When we can work, for business premises
- Whether the work is at height
- The number of rooms or windows
- Whether there’s mould to deal with
The cost reflects the work involved, not guesswork. That is why we ask a few questions first.
What to tell us for a quote
A few details help us give you an accurate quote. When you ask for a quote, tell us:
- The address or postcode of the job
- How we’d reach the joints
- Pictures of the joints, sent by email
- If someone has resealed it before
We quote each job on its own. Simply email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk and describe the job and send photos if you have them.
Why act early?
You do not need a new bathroom because the sealant looks bad. Replacing the joint is usually all it takes. If something else is wrong, we will tell you.

- What happens if the job turns out different
- How long the guarantee is
- What the cure time is
Common problems we fix in IV40
Not every tube in the shop is meant for a shower. Decorators’ caulk and all-purpose sealants aren’t made for constant wetting, so they stain, crack or go mouldy before long. A bathroom joint needs anti-fungal sanitary silicone.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- Water getting behind the kitchen upstand
- Damp behind the bath or under the tray
- Black mould in the silicone that will not clean off
- Gaps where the bath or tray has moved
Surface by surface
Wet rooms
A wet room floor and its walls can move independently, so the internal corners need silicone rather than grout. Cracked grout in a corner can be cut out and replaced with silicone.
Shower trays & enclosures
There are normally two jobs in a shower: the tray-to-wall joint and the enclosure joints. Both take water every day, so both are resealed with anti-fungal sanitary silicone.

FAQs for IV40
How much does bathroom resealing cost in IV40?
Size, access and the old material all affect the cost. Ask us for a quote and we will talk you through it.
Do you do kitchens as well as bathrooms?
Yes. Kitchen joints get extra degreasing before the new bead goes on, then we reseal in a colour to suit.
What colours of sealant can you use?
We can use white, clear or a colour to suit. On a worktop we colour-match where the joint shows.
Can mouldy silicone be sorted out?
Yes. We strip the bead, treat the joint and lay new anti-fungal silicone.
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. We always take the old sealant out completely.
Do you cover IV40?
Yes. We’re based in Crawley and work across South East England, London and Scotland.
Will there be a smell?
Some sealants have a smell while they cure, but it fades. Opening a window helps.
