Our bathroom resealing service in IV63
A reseal only lasts if the joint is properly prepared. Every bit of old silicone comes out, down to the thin film left on the tiles, then the joint is cleaned, degreased and treated for mould. New silicone goes on only when the joint is fully dry. We work on sinks & splashbacks, basins & vanity units and wet rooms, and people most often call us about gaps where the bath or tray has moved and two layers of silicone, both failing.
We bring everything the job needs with us. Once we’ve agreed what’s being done, we protect the area and start. It normally takes a couple of hours for a single bath or shower.
- First the area is protected and every bit of old sealant removed, including the film left on the tiles.
- Next, the joint is cleaned and any mould is treated.
- Once it’s dry, any bath is filled so the bead is laid with it at its heaviest.
- A single bead of anti-fungal sanitary silicone is applied and tooled smooth.
- Finally we tidy up and explain the cure time before we leave.
What you’ll pay
No two jobs are quite the same, so each one gets its own quote. The number of joints, how easy they are to reach and the sealant needed all play a part, and we’ll explain the quote if you ask.
Why book with us
- 4.9 on Google from 180+ five-star reviews
- Sanitary silicone with an anti-fungal additive in wet areas
- Over 20 years’ experience
- We leave the area clean and tidy

Landmarks near Drumnadrochit
Locally, jobs take us to homes and businesses close to Drumnadrochit Hotel, Glen Urquhart High School and Kilmore Parish Church of Scotland and the streets around them. Well-known places in the area include Urquhart Castle (1.5 miles south-east) and Urquhart Castle Visitor Centre (1.4 miles south-east). The countryside around Drumnadrochit includes Glaodhaich and Loch na Bà Ruaidhe.
Where we work in IV63
In IV63, bathroom resealing takes in flats, houses, rentals and businesses, from Drumnadrochit, Lewiston and Invermoriston to the quieter places in between. Wherever the job is, all the old material comes out before anything new goes in.
Scottish weather is hard on outside joints, especially in the wetter west, while generally soft water means less limescale indoors but no less mould. Sealants for jobs in IV63 are chosen with that in mind.
Drumnadrochit: If you look after a building such as Glen Urquhart High School, we reseal washrooms and kitchens in schools and businesses as well as homes. For an older house near a landmark such as Kilmore Parish Church of Scotland, older homes can move a little, which is hard on rigid grout and tired sealant.
When it is not the sealant
We will always be straight with you, so here’s what sealant cannot fix:
- Cracked or missing grout between tiles (that is regrouting)
- A bath or tray that moves because it is not properly supported
- Tiles that have come away from the wall
Landlords, agents and businesses in IV63
A neglected joint can let water reach the structure, which is a bigger problem in a rented property. Resealing at the right time is simple maintenance that we can handle for you.
Housing providers, facilities teams and property managers book us too in IV63 and across Highland. Several sites can be quoted together.
Keeping the joints in good condition
A little care helps the new joints last. We recommend:
- Keep bottles off the sealant line
- Keep the fan on for a while after bathing
- Never pick at the silicone with a blade
- Don’t leave water standing on kitchen joints
Have a look at the joints every few months. A small split or a corner lifting is easy to spot, and if anything looks wrong, just email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk.
Don’t wait for a refit to deal with failed sealant. Sealant is a maintenance item, like the paint on a window frame, and replacing it when it fails protects the rest of the room.
What affects the quote in IV63
We do not publish a price list. The quote depends on:
- How much old sealant there is and how hard it is to remove
- How easy the joints are to reach
- How many rooms, windows or areas are involved
- The product the joint needs
Some things make a job bigger or smaller: how much old sealant there is and how stubborn it is, any mould to treat, and whether the work is at height. We take all of that into account in your quote.
What to tell us for a quote
When you contact us, it’s useful to know:
- Pictures of the joints, sent by email
- How many joints, rooms or windows are involved
- The problem you’ve noticed
- How we’d reach the joints
Asking for a quote is easy: tell us what needs doing and where, and roughly how big it is. Photos by email help us understand the job, and we’ll come back to you with a quote.
DIY sealant or a professional job?
If you do try it yourself, take your time over the preparation: remove every trace of old sealant, clean and dry the joint, and follow the product’s cure time. If it fails, we can still redo it.
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, such as a straightforward joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
FAQs for IV63
Do the sealants smell?
Some sealants have a smell while they cure. Ventilation helps.
Do you hold any approvals?
Yes. ARBOMaster is the approved applicator scheme for Arbo sealants, and we are part of it.
What information do you need?
A short description and the location, plus pictures if you have them. If we need more, we will ask.
Should I try DIY first?
You can, for simple jobs. Preparation is everything: all the old sealant out, and a clean, dry joint. We can always put it right if it fails.
Is it OK to put new sealant on top of the old bead?
No. New silicone will not bond to old silicone, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. All the old sealant comes out first.
Can I choose the colour of the sealant?
You are not limited to white: clear, white and colours chosen to suit the room. We can help you pick when we quote.
Do you work for letting agents?
Yes, often. Several properties can be quoted together, and between tenancies is a good time for the work.
