Bathroom resealing in IV55: how it works
We fill the bath before sealing it. A full bath sits slightly lower than an empty one, so the new joint is not pulled apart the first time it’s used. It’s a small step that rushed reseals tend to skip. Typical jobs include water getting behind the kitchen upstand and water getting behind the bath panel, across kitchen worktops & upstands, baths and shower trays & enclosures.
We keep the work tidy and contained to the area we’re working on, so you can get on with your day. The job normally takes a morning or an afternoon for most single baths and showers, and we tell you how long to leave it before we go.
- Protection goes down around the bath, shower or worktop.
- 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.
- The joint is finished neatly and we explain when it can get wet.

Bathrooms and kitchens across IV55
Across IV55, from Dunvegan, Kilmuir and Colbost 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.
Scotland has its own building regulations, and homes here bring their own details: sash and case windows, harled walls and, in the towns and cities, tenement flats. We work across Scotland, including IV55. IV55 includes coastal places, where outside joints face more wind, rain and salt than they would inland. Walls facing the sea are usually the first to need attention.
Dunvegan: For jobs in and around Dunvegan, choosing the right material for each joint is as important as a tidy finish. In and around Dunvegan, as anywhere, good bathroom resealing starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint.
When it is not the sealant
Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits too:
- A bath or tray that moves because it isn’t properly supported
- Loose or hollow tiles, or failed tanking behind them
- Leaks from a shower valve, waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
Why it fails
Mould is the reason many people want their sealant replaced. Bathrooms without good ventilation give mould all the damp it needs, and once it has grown into the bead, cleaning rarely gets it out.
People normally contact us when they notice something like this:
- Damp behind the bath or under the tray
- A bead that has pulled away from the tiles
- Water getting behind the kitchen upstand
- A joint torn by a bath that flexes
Why deal with it now?
Fresh sealant smartens a bathroom or kitchen with very little disruption, which helps when a home is being let or put on the market. Lumpy sealant with smears on the tiles has the opposite effect.
Questions to ask before you book
- What insurance they hold
- Which sealant they’ll use, and why
- How long the guarantee is
- Is the old sealant removed completely?
Looking after it afterwards
Good habits help new joints last longer. Our tips:
- Never pick at the silicone with a blade
- Dry the bead with a towel now and then
- Stick to a soft cloth and a mild cleaner
- Check the joints every few months for splits or lifting
Good ventilation does more than any cleaner. Use the fan, or open a window, while you bathe and for a while afterwards, so the silicone gets a chance to dry.
Do not wait for a refit to deal with failed sealant. Like paintwork, sealant needs renewing from time to time, and replacing it when it fails protects the rest of the room.
Surface by surface
Wet rooms
Wet rooms rely on sound joints at floor and wall junctions. They get anti-fungal sanitary silicone, and our work is on the visible joints only.
Kitchen worktops & upstands
Kitchen joints need more degreasing than bathroom ones, since cooking leaves a film that stops silicone sticking. The extra cleaning is what makes the bead last.
Common questions in IV55
Do I have to be there?
For indoor joints, yes, someone needs to let us in. Once we’ve agreed the job, you don’t need to watch us work.
Can landlords and businesses book you?
Yes, regularly. We can quote for several properties at once, and between tenancies is a good time for the work.
Do you cover IV55?
We do. Our applicators work in IV55.
Where is Mr Mastic based?
We work from Crawley. Our applicators cover IV55.
Can you get rid of the black mould in my sealant?
Yes, by replacing the sealant. Sprays can fade the marks, but cutting it out and resealing is what lasts. Good ventilation helps keep it away.
Do the sealants smell?
That depends on the sealant. Some smell for a while, some hardly at all.
Do you hold any approvals?
Yes. We hold ARBOMaster approved applicator status, and we are fully insured.
