Ganavan homes and their sealant

Ganavan is within about 1 mile of the coast. Near the coast, holiday lets and guest houses can see bathrooms used by one guest after another, and sealant and grout that work that hard wear out sooner. Scottish Water supplies are generally soft, so limescale is less of a problem than in hard-water areas. But mould still grows into sealant and grout in a room that does not dry out.

Letting a property close to Oban station? Then a reseal between tenants is a quick way to make the bathroom and kitchen look cared for.

Common problems we fix in Ganavan

Plenty of failed sealant has been laid over the top of older sealant. New silicone will not bond to old silicone, so it peels, leaks and hides mould behind it.

If you can see any of these, it’s time to have the joints looked at:

  • Failed sealant on the screen profile
  • Leaks into the floor or ceiling below
  • Shrunken sealant along the back of a worktop
  • A reseal done over the top of the old bead

If you look after a building such as Oban High School, its toilets, changing areas and kitchens need their sealant renewed like any other building’s.

Looking after it afterwards

Good habits help new joints last longer. A few tips:

  • Move toiletries away from the joint
  • Wait for the cure time we give you
  • Squeegee the walls and tray after use
  • Wipe up water along the back of the worktop

Good ventilation does more than any cleaner. Use the fan, or open a window, while you bathe and for a while afterwards, so the bead dries out between uses.

Small signs come before a leak: a corner lifting, a gap behind the bead, a dark line under the silicone or a damp patch on the ceiling below. Any of these means the joint needs attention.

Why it’s worth doing now in Ganavan

A quick bead over the top of the old one might look better for a while, but it can’t stick to what’s underneath. It lifts, traps water and grows mould behind it. Around Ganavan, water from a failed joint in an older stone home can soak into timber and plaster, which is a far bigger job than the sealant.

Every job is a little different, so we quote each one individually. Size, access and the product the joint needs all make a difference.

Why us?

  • A choice of colours where the product allows
  • Sanitary silicone with an anti-fungal additive in wet areas
  • Colour agreed with you before we start
  • 20+ years of sealant experience

How the visit works

There’s no need to move everything out, only the area right around the joints. We protect the rest, and the work takes two to three hours for a typical bath, depending on how much old sealant there is in most cases. Outside jobs in Ganavan need a dry day, because sealant won’t bond to a wet joint, so external jobs may need to move if the day turns wet. Work indoors is not affected.

  1. First the area is protected and every bit of old sealant removed, including the film left on the tiles.
  2. Next, the joint is cleaned and any mould is treated.
  3. Once it’s dry, any bath is filled so the bead is laid with it at its heaviest.
  4. New anti-fungal silicone goes on in a colour to suit and is tooled to a clean finish.
  5. We clear away and tell you when it can get wet, generally after around 24 hours.

Preparing for the visit

  • Mention any tricky access
  • For business premises, tell us about site rules or sign-in
  • Let us know about parking restrictions

Quotes for bathroom resealing in Ganavan

Jobs vary more than people expect. The main factors:

  • Whether old sealant or filler has to be cut out

  • Whether the work is at height
  • Any working-time requirements on site

There are no prices on our website, because the cost depends so much on the job itself. Call for a quick quote and we will talk you through it.

What to tell us for a quote

When you contact us, it’s useful to know:

  • The address or postcode of the job
  • Photos by email, if that is easy

How the job changes by surface

Shower trays & enclosures

There are usually two jobs in a shower: the tray-to-wall joint and the enclosure joints. Both get soaked every time the shower runs, so both are resealed with anti-fungal sanitary silicone.

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.

Common questions in Ganavan

Is Ganavan within the area you cover?

Yes, we do. We work across all of Scotland, from towns to the smallest places. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.

Do you work for landlords with property near Oban station?

Yes, rental work is part of what we do. You can email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk with the address and a few details, and we will give you a fixed price before any work starts.

Are you insured?

Yes. We’re fully insured.

Where are you based?

Our base is Crawley, with over 20 years’ experience. Our area covers South East England, London and Scotland.

Will you leave a mess?

Tidy work is part of the job. We protect what’s around the joints.

Can new silicone go straight over the old?

No. New silicone will not bond to old silicone, so it peels away and hides mould and water. All the old sealant comes out first.

Can mouldy silicone be sorted out?

Yes, by replacing the sealant. Cleaning products may lighten it, but the lasting fix is new anti-fungal silicone on a clean, treated joint. Good ventilation helps keep it away.

Do you guarantee your resealing?

Yes. We give a 12-month guarantee on every job, and we’re fully insured.
