How bathroom resealing works in Na h-Eileanan Siar

We fill the bath before sealing it. The weight settles the bath to its lowest point, so the bead isn’t stretched the first time someone gets in. It’s a small step that rushed reseals tend to skip. We work on baths, sinks & splashbacks and kitchen worktops & upstands, and people most often call us about failed sealant on the screen profile and black spots spreading through the bead.

On the day, there’s very little for you to do. Point us to the joints and we’ll get on with it. The work itself takes a couple of hours for a single bath or shower, including the tidy-up.

We cover the area around the joints we’re working on.
Old sealant is sliced away and the residue removed.
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.
The joint is finished neatly and we explain when it can get wet.

Bathrooms and kitchens across Na h-Eileanan Siar

Homes across Na h-Eileanan Siar range from older properties to new builds, with plenty of rented property in places like Stornoway, Tarbert and Plasterfield. Sound sealant and clean grout keep water out and rooms looking cared for.

Our work covers the whole of Scotland, Na h-Eileanan Siar included. Longer journeys are planned in advance, and outdoor work around the weather. In the coastal parts of Na h-Eileanan Siar, the sea-facing side of a building takes the most weather, and that is where sealant usually gives up first. Good preparation and the right sealant help it cope.

Stornoway: In and around Stornoway, as anywhere, good bathroom resealing starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint. Whether the job is in Stornoway itself or nearby, the right material for each joint matters as much as a neat finish.

Leave it or put it right?

A clean new bead makes a room look cared for, which helps when a home is being let or put on the market. A smeared, uneven DIY bead does the opposite, and it’s harder to put right later.

How to look after the new joints

So the new joints stay in good condition:

Clean with a mild bathroom cleaner and a soft cloth
Squeegee the walls and tray after use
Let new sealant cure fully before it gets wet
Move toiletries away from the joint

Mould needs damp, so keep the room aired. Use the fan, or open a window, while you bathe and for a while afterwards, so the bead dries out between uses.

A split bead lets water through every time the bath or shower is used. Left alone, it soaks into the floor, the wall behind the tiles or the ceiling below. Early resealing closes the gap before damage is done.

When it isn’t the sealant

To be straight with you, some problems need a different trade:

Failed grout lines across the wall
A tray that rocks until it’s re-bedded
Cracks in the tray itself rather than the joint

Can I do it myself?

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, then guaranteed for a year.

If you’ve already had a go yourself, that is fine. We cut it out and start again, so tell us about it when you ask for a quote.

Common questions in Na h-Eileanan Siar

Can new silicone go straight over the old?

No. Fresh silicone can’t stick to the old bead, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. All the old sealant comes out first.

Do you reseal kitchen worktops and sinks too?

Yes, often alongside a bathroom. Where it’s needed by the sink, we use a food-safe sealant.

What should I tell you?

Only a few details: where it is, what you’ve noticed and how we reach it. After that, simply drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk.

Do you remove the old sealant?

Yes, every time. New silicone does not stick to old silicone, so the joint is cleaned back first.

Do you come to Na h-Eileanan Siar?

We do. Na h-Eileanan Siar is part of the area we cover, and the service is the same as everywhere else.

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.

How long does it take to reseal a bath or shower?

It takes around two hours for one bath or shower, longer for a whole bathroom. We’ll confirm how long your job needs when we quote.
