About our remedial sealant in Ardentinny
Some sealant jobs are not a simple reseal, because someone has already had a go. New sealant over old, smeared beads, unsuitable products and hidden mould all need stripping out before the joint can be done properly. We work on failed movement joints, botched or over-sealed joints and shrunken worktop sealant, and the jobs we see most are dark patches showing through the sealant and thick, messy sealant smeared over tiles.
In and around a place like Ardentinny, homes range from older stone-built properties to newer houses. Where a building moves, cracked grout and split sealant are generally the first signs.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee.

What we do, step by step
The work is kept neat and contained to the area we’re working on, so you can carry on as normal. The job generally takes a few hours for a typical bath or shower, longer where several layers have been applied, and we explain the cure time before we leave. In smaller Scottish places, parking is generally 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.
- First we work out whether the problem is the sealant, movement or a leak.
- Each layer is cut out and the residue cleaned off.
- Mould is treated and the joint dried.
- We reseal with a product suited to the joint, backed where needed.
- The joint is tooled and you’re told about anything else we found.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us if parking is tricky
- Tell us about any water getting in
- Let us know about stairs, lifts or work at height

Advice
What we can’t put right

- Tiles that have come away from the wall

- Old mastic in a building from before 2000 that should be checked for asbestos before it’s disturbed

Questions from Ardentinny
Can you do remedial sealant in Ardentinny?
Yes, Ardentinny is within the area we cover. Our work covers the whole of Scotland. Just send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk with a few details of the job.
Will you come out to Ardentinny?
Yes, we do. Our work covers the whole of Scotland, and smaller places are part of that. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
Where do you work from?
Our base is Crawley. Our area covers South East England, London and Scotland.
Should I try DIY first?
It depends on the job. Work at height, movement joints, fire-rated gaps and large areas are best left to a professional, while a short indoor joint may be within reach.
How long will it take to strip and reseal the joint?
Allow a few hours, depending on how many layers have to come out. You will know the timing when we quote.
Do you offer different sealant colours?
Usually, yes. White, clear and grey are common, and other colours are available, and we agree the colour with you before work begins.
How long before the joint can be used?
Many sealants skin over quickly but take longer to cure fully. We will tell you how long to leave the joint.
Someone sealed over the old bead. Can you fix it?
Yes. We cut out all the layers and clean off the film, then the joint is resealed once.
Bathrooms and kitchens in Ardentinny
Ardentinny 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. Scottish Water supplies are generally soft, so limescale is less of a problem than in hard-water areas. Mould is another matter: a bathroom that stays damp still turns sealant and grout black.
Rented homes near Garelochhead station change hands often, and botched sealant from a previous quick fix is easier to strip out between tenants.

What we are called out for in Ardentinny
Silicone only bonds to surfaces that are clean and dry. Soap film, dust, damp or old residue stop it gripping, so it starts lifting sooner than it should.
Most people get in touch when they notice one of these:
- Smears and lumps from a botched reseal
- Sealant peeling off a dusty or damp surface
- Movement joints that have split or pulled away
- A shower that leaks however often it’s resealed
If you live in an older home near Ardentinny Church, timber floors under older bathrooms flex, so joints need a sealant that moves with them.
What to look for in a quote
- What the quote includes, VAT included or not
- Whether all the old sealant comes out first
- How long to leave it before use
- Are they insured?
How the job changes by surface
Worktops & kitchens
Shrunken worktop sealant leaves a gap that lets water into the back edge. It’s cut out, degreased and resealed colour-matched to the worktop.
Over-sealed & botched joints
A thick bead smeared across tiles often hides mould or gaps. Taking it back shows what’s underneath.
Why it’s worth doing now in Ardentinny
DIY removal often leaves scratches and a film of residue, and any film left behind stops new sealant sticking. Careful stripping is where most of our time goes. When the nearest tradesperson is a drive away, it’s tempting to leave a small leak, but water through a failed joint keeps working away until it’s fixed.
A failed joint rarely gets cheaper to fix by waiting, as water and mould keep getting in. If you are unsure, send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk and we’ll give you an honest view and a quote.
