How the job changes by surface

Worktops & kitchens

Kitchen joints often have grease and cleaning residue deep in them, so cleaning takes longer than in a bathroom before resealing.

Mouldy bath & shower sealant

Mould can sit behind the silicone, not just in it. We treat the exposed joint once the bead is out so the new sealant starts clean.

How we handle remedial sealant in Aiginis

A joint that keeps letting you down needs more than another bead. It helps to have pictures when you drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk, and say how long ago it was last done. If you have smears and lumps from a botched reseal and a shower that leaks however often it’s resealed, we can put it right.

Across smaller places in Scotland, homes range from stone and harled cottages to newer houses. Older buildings can move a little, and that shows first in cracked grout and split sealant.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. If there’s a problem with it, please drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk.

What affects the quote in Aiginis

We quote each job individually. These are the things that affect it:

  • The size of the job
  • Whether there’s mould to deal with
  • The number of rooms or windows
  • The old material and how stubborn it is

Doing several joints on one visit normally makes better use of the time than several visits, so it’s worth mentioning everything you’d like done. You will get one clear quote for the whole job.

What we need to know

When you call or email, these details help:

  • Photos by email, if that is easy
  • How we’d reach the joints
  • How many joints, rooms or windows are involved
  • Whether it’s a home or a business

For a quick quote, get us on the phone, or send an email if you’d rather. Describe what needs sealing and we’ll talk you through the work and give you a clear quote.

DIY versus a professional finish

Not every job suits DIY: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas need the right product, the right access and the right method.

Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. Silicone doesn’t stick to old silicone, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. Everything old must be removed first.

Do you need remedial sealant in Aiginis?

Joint depth matters. Sealant packed too deep, or stuck to the back of the joint as well as the sides, cannot stretch, and tears at the first real movement. Backing rod or bond-breaker tape prevents it.

Look out for any of the following:

  • A shower that leaks however often it’s resealed
  • Wide, uneven beads that look worse than the old ones
  • Over-sealed joints coming away
  • Dark patches showing through the sealant

For jobs in and around Aiginis, choosing the right material for each joint is as important as a tidy finish.

Before you book anyone

  • Whether all the old sealant comes out first
  • How long to leave it before use
  • Is VAT in the price?
  • How much experience the applicator has

10 questions to ask before you book

What remedial sealant looks like in Aiginis

Aiginis is close to 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. 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.

Around Aiginis, as everywhere, remedial sealant is only as good as the preparation behind it.

Questions from Aiginis

Can you do remedial sealant in Aiginis?

Yes. Our work covers the whole of Scotland, and Aiginis is part of that. You can send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk and let us know what needs doing, and we’ll give you a clear quote.

Do you cover smaller places like Aiginis?

Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Our work covers the whole of Scotland, including the islands, where work is planned around ferry crossings. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.

Do you do commercial work?

Yes. Hotels, offices and other businesses use us, and we’re fully insured.

Can you match the sealant colour?

We help you choose a colour that suits, from white and clear to greys and other shades. The choice depends on the product the joint needs.

What information do you need?

Where the job is, what the problem is and roughly how big it is. Photos by email help too.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are often happy for the work to be arranged.

What does remedial sealant cost?

Size, access and the old material all affect the cost. Ask us for a quote.

What do you put in the joint?

Quality sealants from brands including Arbo and Everbuild, chosen to suit the joint. We explain the product when we quote.

For landlords and businesses

We also work for property managers and facilities teams. We can quote a run of properties together, and we are fully insured for the work.

Failed sealant is one of the commonest items on a check-out report, and it’s quick to put right between tenancies. Several properties can go on one quote.

How it works

Good joint work is mostly preparation, and we don’t rush it. Every joint is cleaned and dried before new material goes in. All told, the work takes a few hours, depending on how many layers have to come out. In smaller Scottish places, parking is usually less of an issue than access and distance. Tell us how to find the property and how to reach the work.

  1. We look at how the sealant has failed and check for movement or a leak path.
  2. All the old sealant comes out, including any layers underneath.
  3. We clean the joint, treat any mould and let it dry.
  4. Moving joints get backing and a flexible sealant to suit.
  5. We tool the joint and tell you about anything else that needs attention.

Before we arrive

  • Let us know about stairs, lifts or work at height
