Remedial sealant in Ardchonnell, done properly
Getting old sealant out properly is slow, careful work. We cut out every layer, clear the residue and degrease the surfaces, without scratching tiles, trays or frames. New sealant only bonds to a clean, dry joint. We’re often asked to deal with torn expansion joints and sealant peeling off a dusty or damp surface, across botched or over-sealed joints, expansion joints and failed movement joints.
Being further from a city does not change the work: old material out, joints cleaned and dried, and a fresh, even finish. The journey and access are simply planned in advance.
Each job carries a 12-month guarantee, large or small.

Can I do it myself?
A DIY attempt doesn’t rule out a professional job. We remove it and do the joint properly, so just mention it when you contact us.
If you are set on DIY, put the effort into preparation: remove every trace of old sealant, clean and dry the joint, and follow the product’s cure time. If it fails, we can still redo it.
What the job involves on each surface
Mouldy bath & shower sealant
Mould often spreads under the bead as well as through it. We treat the exposed joint once the bead is out.
Leaking trays & enclosures
Where the joints are the problem, every bead is stripped and resealed with anti-fungal sanitary silicone, tray edges and screen profiles included.
Signs you need remedial sealant in Ardchonnell
Movement tears sealant that isn’t designed for it. A bath that flexes, a tray that rocks or a building joint that opens and closes split any bead that’s too stiff or too thin.
Common reasons people contact us include:
- Torn expansion joints
- Caulk or the wrong sealant used in a wet area
- Smears and lumps from a botched reseal
- Kitchen joints letting water behind the worktop
For an older house near a landmark such as Dalavich Church, timber floors under older bathrooms flex, so joints need a sealant that moves with them.

How the visit works
There isn’t much for you to do on the day. Show us the job and we will take it from there. The work itself takes a few hours for a typical bath or shower, longer where several layers have been applied from start to finish. In smaller Scottish places, parking is normally less of an issue than access and distance. Let us know how to find you and how to reach the joints, and the visit is planned around that.
- 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.
- Next, any mould is treated and the joint dried.
- We use the right backing and sealant for any joint that moves.
- The new joint is tooled neatly and we explain anything else we found.
Getting ready for the visit
- Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work
- Tell us about any water getting in
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before

Advice
Why act early in Ardchonnell
Remedial work takes longer than a straight reseal, but not by much: it takes a few hours for most joints, depending on how much old sealant has to come out. It’s far less disruption than resealing the same joint again and again. Out of town in Scotland, exposed walls take a lot of weather, and damp in stone or harled walls takes a long time to dry once water gets behind a joint.
A few things move the cost up or down: how much old sealant there is and how stubborn it is, whether mould needs treating, and whether the work is at height. We take all of that into account in your quote.

Is remedial sealant in Ardchonnell guaranteed?
Every job comes with our one-year guarantee, wherever it is. We are fully insured, and an ARBOMaster approved applicator.
Can you fix a reseal that hasn’t worked?
Yes, usually. We check it’s the sealant and not the tray, valve or waste, then the joints are stripped and resealed.
Where is Mr Mastic based?
We work from Crawley. We cover Ardchonnell and the rest of Argyll and Bute.
Does someone need to be in?
It depends on the job. Inside work needs someone to give us access.
Can you strip sealant from an acrylic tray safely?
Yes. We avoid heavy scraping and use the right cleaner for each surface.
What do you put in the joint?
The product depends on the job: anti-fungal sanitary silicone in wet areas, and other sealants where joints move or face the weather. Brands we use include Arbo and Everbuild.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just make sure your landlord agrees.
Remedial sealant around Ardchonnell
Private landlords in Scotland must be registered and meet the Repairing Standard, which includes keeping fixtures and fittings in reasonable repair. Failed sealant around a bath or shower is worth sorting between tenancies. Scotland’s water is generally soft, so sealant and grout see less limescale than in much of England. Mould is another matter: a bathroom that stays damp still turns sealant and grout black.
