About bathroom resealing in KW16
A fresh bead of silicone changes how a bathroom looks more than most people expect. Black, patchy sealant makes clean tiles look tired, and a clean white or clear joint fixes it quickly. Just as important, it closes the gaps water would otherwise get through. We’re often asked to deal with gaps where the bath or tray has moved and shrunken sealant along the back of a worktop, on kitchen worktops & upstands, sinks & splashbacks and basins & vanity units.
We bring everything the job needs with us. Once we have agreed what’s being done, we protect the area and start. It normally takes a morning or an afternoon for most single baths and showers.
- We protect the area and cut out all of the old sealant.
- We clean and degrease the joint and treat any mould.
- The joint is left to dry, and baths are filled with water first.
- A single bead of anti-fungal sanitary silicone is applied and tooled smooth.
- We tidy up and give you the cure time, normally around 24 hours.
What affects the price in KW16
A failed joint rarely gets cheaper to fix by waiting, because water and mould keep working on it. If you are not sure whether it needs doing, drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk and we’ll give you an honest view and a quote.

Bathroom resealing across KW16: local notes
Homes across KW16 range from older properties to new builds, with plenty of rented property in places like Stromness, Clouston and Lyness. Bathroom resealing keeps bathrooms and kitchens watertight and looking cared for.
Homes in Scotland come with their own details: harled walls, sash and case windows and, in the larger towns and cities, tenements. KW16 is part of the area we cover across Scotland. Parts of KW16 are on or near the coast, where wind-driven rain and, closer to the shore, salt air are hard on outside sealant. Joints on seaward walls tend to fail first.
Stromness: In and around Stromness, as anywhere, good bathroom resealing starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint. Managing a site like stromness primary school? Then we reseal washrooms and kitchens in schools and businesses as well as homes.
Landlords, agents and businesses in KW16
Mouldy or split sealant often shows up at the end of a tenancy, and it’s quick to put right between tenancies. Several properties can be quoted together.
We also work for property managers and facilities teams in KW16 and across the Orkney Islands. We can quote a run of properties together, and we’re fully insured.
DIY sealant or a professional job?
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right 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.
Looking after it afterwards
A little care helps the new joints last. Our advice:
- Keep scourers and sharp tools away from the bead
- Keep bottles off the sealant line
- Wait for the cure time we give you
- Check the joints every few months for splits or lifting
Keep water off the new bead until it has cured, which is generally around 24 hours. Once it’s cured, wiping it down after use keeps it looking new.
Watch for the early signs: a corner lifting, a gap behind the bead, a dark line under the silicone or a damp patch on the ceiling below. If you spot one, it’s time to reseal.
What we are called out for in KW16
Not every tube in the shop is meant for a shower. Acrylic caulk and general-purpose sealants aren’t designed for a joint that’s wet every day, so they stain, crack or go mouldy before long. A bathroom joint needs anti-fungal sanitary silicone.
Common reasons people contact us include:
- Water getting behind the kitchen upstand
- Failed sealant on the screen profile
- Splits where the tray meets the wall
- Cracked, shrunken or lifting silicone

Common questions in KW16
Can you reseal around my kitchen sink and worktop?
Yes, often alongside a bathroom. Where it’s needed by the sink, we use a food-safe sealant.
Will you leave a mess?
Not at all. The area is protected while we work and cleaned up afterwards.
Can you do several jobs on one visit?
Of course. Combining jobs makes good use of the visit.
What information do you need?
Where the job is, what the problem is and roughly how big it is. Photos by email help too.
Are you an approved applicator?
Yes. We’re ARBOMaster approved, the scheme for applicators of Arbo sealants.
Do you guarantee your resealing?
Yes, a 12-month guarantee. Looking after the joint as we suggest helps it last.
Is it OK to put new sealant on top of the old bead?
No, and it’s one of the main reasons reseals fail. We cut out all of the old sealant, clean the joint and start again.
