Bathroom resealing in IV45: how it works
Sealant is the soft line between a bath, shower or worktop and the wall. Once it cracks or goes mouldy, water starts to find its way through. Our team cut the old bead out completely and lay a new one in anti-fungal sanitary silicone. We work on basins & vanity units, kitchen worktops & upstands and shower trays & enclosures, and the jobs we see most are gaps between the worktop and the wall and new sealant laid over old sealant that is now lifting.
You do not need to clear the whole room or building, just the space around the work. We protect the rest, and the job takes two to three hours for a typical bath, depending on how much old sealant there is in most cases.
- We start by protecting the area and stripping out the old bead.
- Next, the joint is cleaned and any mould is treated.
- We let it dry fully and fill the bath with water before sealing.
- New anti-fungal silicone goes on in a colour to suit and is tooled to a clean finish.
- Finally we tidy up and explain the cure time before we leave.

Bathroom resealing across IV45: local notes
Across IV45, from Ardvasar and Armadale outwards, we see 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.
We work across all of Scotland, from the cities to the islands, and IV45 is part of that. Journeys are planned ahead, and outside jobs are booked around the forecast. Along the coast in IV45, window and wall joints facing the sea take the brunt of the weather, so they’re often the first to fail. The right product and careful preparation help it last.
Ardvasar: Rented homes near Mallaig station change hands often, and fresh sealant around the bath, shower and sink between tenancies helps a property present well and keeps leaks at bay. In and around Ardvasar, as anywhere, good bathroom resealing starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint.
Leave it or put it right?
Sorting it now is quick: the work takes around two hours for one bath or shower, longer for a whole bathroom. Left until water gets through, the job can grow to lifting panels, drying out and decorating.
Questions to ask before booking
- Which colour the sealant will be
- What product goes in the joint
- Is VAT in the price?
- Whether all the old sealant comes out first
Why it fails
Baths and trays move. Acrylic in particular gives slightly under the weight of water and a person, and a tray that isn’t fully bedded can rock. That movement works at the bead until it splits or peels away.
These are the problems we are asked about most:
- A messy, uneven bead from a previous reseal
- Gaps where the bath or tray has moved
- Black mould in the silicone that won’t clean off
- Gaps between the worktop and the wall
How we quote for bathroom resealing
Your quote is based on your job. We take into account:
- Working hours on commercial sites
- The product the joint needs
- The number and length of the joints
- Whether old sealant or filler has to be cut out
Instead of a standard rate, we look at what your job involves: how many joints, what’s in them now and how we reach them. The price is agreed before we begin.
Helping us quote
When you contact us, these details help:
- Any access issues, like height or stairs
- Where the job is, and your postcode
- What the problem is, such as mould, gaps, leaks or cracking
- Pictures of the joints, sent by email
To get a quote, send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk and tell us where the job is and what the problem looks like. We will give you a clear price before any work starts.
When something else is needed
To be straight with you, there are a few things sealant will not fix:
- Failed grout lines across the wall
- A tray that rocks until it’s re-bedded
- Cracks in the tray itself rather than the joint

IV45: your questions answered
Is white the only colour available?
There’s a choice: clear, white and colours chosen to suit the room. We can help you pick when we quote.
Do you do commercial work?
Yes, regularly. Larger jobs can be planned room by room or area by area to suit the site.
Does the resealing come with a guarantee?
Yes, for 12 months. Good ventilation and gentle cleaning help it last.
Are you insured?
Yes. Mr Mastic is fully insured, with over 20 years’ experience in sealant work.
Does someone need to be in?
Access is agreed with you when the job is booked. Indoors, that usually means someone at home.
Where are you based?
We are a Crawley-based firm, with over 20 years’ experience. Our area covers South East England, London and Scotland.
Do you remove the old sealant?
Yes, always, and completely. New silicone does not stick to old silicone, so the joint is cleaned back first.
