Our bathroom resealing service in IV7
The secret of a lasting bead is the preparation. The old sealant is removed to the last smear, after which the joint is degreased and any mould treated. New silicone goes on only when the joint is fully dry. We work on basins & vanity units, baths and wet rooms, and common reasons people get in touch are lumpy, uneven sealant from a DIY attempt and gaps where the bath or tray has moved.
When we get to you, we check the joints match what you told us. If we find something unexpected, we talk it through with you first. After that, the work takes a couple of hours for a single bath or shower.
- Protection goes down around the bath, shower or worktop.
- We cut away the old sealant and clean off what’s left.
- Mould is treated, then the joint is left to dry thoroughly.
- Any bath is filled with water, then we lay a bead of anti-fungal silicone in white, clear or a matching colour.
- We finish the joint, clear up and tell you how long to leave it before it gets wet.

Bathroom resealing across IV7: local notes
IV7 has homes of every age, old and new, with plenty of rented property in places like Conon Bridge, Maryburgh and Culbokie. Sound sealant and clean grout keep water out and rooms looking cared for.
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 IV7. IV7 includes coastal places, where outside joints face more wind, rain and salt than they would inland. Walls facing the sea are normally the first to need attention.
Conon Bridge: Schools such as Dingwall Academy are buildings too, and we reseal washrooms and kitchens in schools and businesses as well as homes. Rented homes near Conon Bridge station change hands often, and a reseal between tenants is a quick way to make the bathroom and kitchen look cared for.
Landlords, agents and businesses in IV7
If you manage several properties in or around IV7, several properties can be quoted together. Just tell us the addresses and what each one needs, and photos by email help.
Water getting past a failed joint can damage the building, which matters even more when someone else lives there. Keeping joints in good order is simple maintenance.
Looking after it afterwards
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Squeegee the walls and tray after use
- Keep scourers and sharp tools away from the bead
- Look for lifting corners and small gaps now and then
- Run the extractor fan during and after every shower
Give the silicone time to cure before it gets wet, which is generally around 24 hours. After that, a quick wipe after showering helps keep it clean.
Each shower pushes a little more water through a failed joint. Over time that water reaches floors, walls and ceilings. Resealing early stops it.
Why it fails
No sealant lasts indefinitely. Daily water, heat and cleaning products slowly wear it down, so its life depends on how the room is used, cleaned and aired.
Keep an eye out for these signs:
- Water getting behind the bath panel
- Water escaping at the shower enclosure
- Mouldy sealant that has gone black
- Two layers of silicone, both failing
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’ve already had a go yourself, that is fine. We remove it and do the joint properly, so tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
Surface by surface
Wet rooms
If a wet room leaks, the cause may be the tanking or the drain rather than the joints. We check the joints and say so if the fault looks to be elsewhere.
Basins & vanity units
Basins take less water than showers, but the joint behind them is splashed every day. Old sealant there often goes black at the corners, and we treat it exactly as we would a bath.
IV7 questions
My sealant has gone black. Can you sort it?
Yes, we can. The old sealant comes out, the mould is treated, and we reseal with anti-fungal sanitary silicone.
Can I choose the colour of the sealant?
Most people choose white or clear, and other colours are available to suit tiles, trays and worktops. Let us know your preference when you ask for a quote.
What sealant do you use?
The product depends on the job: anti-fungal sanitary silicone in wet areas, and other sealants where joints move or face the weather. We use products from Arbo and Everbuild.
Will you leave a mess?
Not at all. We work neatly, protect the area around the joints and tidy up afterwards.
What does bathroom resealing cost?
It depends on the job, so we quote each one individually. To get one, drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk with a short description of the job.
What should I tell you?
Tell us what needs doing and where, plus pictures if you have them. We’ll ask anything else we need to know.
How long will the resealing take?
A single bath or shower takes about a couple of hours, including cutting out the old sealant. A full bathroom and kitchen can take most of a day.
