Common questions in Aberlour
Will you come out to Aberlour?

Is there a guarantee on remedial sealant in Aberlour?
Every job comes with our one-year guarantee, wherever it is. We’re fully insured, and an ARBOMaster approved applicator.
Will it make a mess?
Very little: the area around the joints is protected first, and we tidy up before we go.
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.
Do you do commercial work?
Yes. We work in offices, washrooms, hotels and other commercial premises, as well as homes. Working times can be discussed when we quote.
When is the sealant fully cured?

Remedial sealant in Aberlour, done properly
With more than 20 years’ experience, our applicators have seen most of the ways sealant can fail. We’re ARBOMaster approved and fully insured, and every remedial job comes with a 12-month guarantee. Typical jobs include torn expansion joints and over-sealed joints coming away, across botched or over-sealed joints, mouldy bath & shower sealant and shrunken worktop sealant.
Being further from a city does not change the work: everything old is cut out, the joints are cleaned and dried, and new sealant or grout goes in. We just plan the journey and access beforehand.
Big or small, you get the same 12-month guarantee in Aberlour and across Moray.

Quotes for remedial sealant in Aberlour
Some jobs are bigger than they look, and some smaller. The main factors:
- How easy the joints are to reach
- Whether old sealant or filler has to be cut out
- The number and length of the joints
- How many areas need sealing
Leaving a failed joint generally makes the job bigger, not smaller, because water and mould keep working on it. If you are not sure whether it needs doing, email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk for an honest opinion and a quote.
What to tell us for a quote
When you call or email, these details help:
- Access, such as stairs, a lift or height
- A few pictures by email, if you can
- If someone has resealed it before
- Whether it’s a home or a business
We quote each job on its own, so start by telling us what you need. Simply email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk and describe the job.
Remedial sealant in Aberlour: local notes
Scotland’s water is generally soft, so sealant and grout see less limescale than in much of England. But mould still grows into sealant and grout in a room that does not dry out. Private landlords in Scotland must be registered and meet the Repairing Standard, which includes keeping fixtures and fittings in reasonable repair. Tired, leaking sealant is worth putting right before a new tenant moves in.
In and around Aberlour, as anywhere, good remedial sealant starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint.

Common problems we fix in Aberlour
A lot of failed joints have been sealed over rather than replaced. Silicone doesn’t bond to silicone, so the new layer peels, and damp and mould settle between them.
If you can see any of these, it’s time to have the joints looked at:
- Beads that never stuck properly
- Torn expansion joints
- Sealant applied over old sealant that has lifted
- Caulk or the wrong sealant used in a wet area
In the older streets around St Margaret's Episcopal Church and Burial Ground, bathrooms in older houses have often been refitted more than once, with sealant laid over sealant.
Before booking anyone
- The length of the guarantee
- Is VAT in the price?
- How long to leave it before use
- How the colour is chosen
Why deal with it now?
Remedial work takes longer than a straight reseal, but not by much: the work takes a few hours, depending on how many layers have to come out. It’s far less disruption than resealing the same joint again and again. In an older home around Aberlour, damp from a failed joint can get into timber and plaster.
Homes and businesses are quoted the same way: the amount of work, the access and the products needed, along with when we can work on site. Call for a quick quote and we’ll go through it with you.

What happens on the day
Once we are on site, we compare the joints with what we discussed. If we find something unexpected, we talk it through with you first. Most jobs then take a few hours for most joints, depending on how much old sealant has to come out. For a place like Aberlour, longer drives are planned in advance. Tell us about tracks, gates, a ferry crossing or anything unusual about getting there.
- We look at how the sealant has failed and check for movement or a leak path.
- We strip the joint completely, removing any layers below.
- The joint is cleaned, treated for mould and left to dry.
- Moving joints get backing and a flexible sealant to suit.
- Finally we finish the joint and talk you through what we found.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know about parking restrictions
- For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can
- Clear items away from the joints we’re working on
Ask for a quote
Asking for a quote is easy: let us know what needs doing and where, and roughly how big it is. Photos by email help us understand the job, and we’ll take it from there.
Advice
Should I try it myself first?
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and doesn’t move well, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.
Some jobs are best left to a professional: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas need the right product, the right access and the right method.
Surface by surface
Mouldy bath & shower sealant
Black mould inside the bead won’t scrub out. All of it comes out, and the joint is treated and dried before anti-fungal sanitary silicone goes in.
Movement & expansion joints
A sealant stuck to the back of the joint can’t stretch. Backing rod or bond-breaker tape prevents it, so the sealant grips the two sides only.
Work for landlords, hotels and businesses
Landlords and letting agents in Aberlour can book us as well as homeowners. Resealing between tenancies keeps a property looking cared for.
Mouldy or split sealant often shows up at the end of a tenancy, and it’s easy to sort out between tenants. Several properties can be quoted together.
