Honest limits
Honest advice matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what sealant can’t fix:
- Cracks in the fitting rather than the joint
- A bath, tray or worktop that moves until it’s properly fixed
- Leaks from a shower valve, waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
If you’re not sure, just drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk and we will give you a straight answer before booking.

Remedial sealant for homes and businesses in Ardgay
Removing failed sealant is the hardest part of the job. Every layer is cut out, the residue cleaned off and the joint degreased, taking care not to scratch the surfaces around it. New sealant only bonds to a clean, dry joint. Common call-outs are for a shower that leaks however often it’s resealed and torn expansion joints, on leaking tray & enclosure joints, failed movement joints and expansion joints.
In and around a place like Ardgay, homes range from older stone-built properties to newer houses. Older buildings can move a little, and that shows first in cracked grout and split sealant.
A 12-month guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

The process
Our applicators work methodically: protection first, then preparation, sealing and a tidy-up. Typically it takes a few hours, depending on how many layers have to come out, and the area is left clean. Around Ardgay, distance and access matter more than parking. Tell us how to find the property and how to reach the work.
- First we find out how and where the joint has failed.
- We strip the joint completely, removing any layers below.
- We clean the joint, treat any mould and let it dry.
- We use the right backing and sealant for any joint that moves.
- We tool the joint and tell you about anything else that needs attention.
Getting ready for the visit
- For business premises, tell us about site rules or sign-in
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit
- Tell us if parking is tricky

Related advice
DIY versus a professional finish
If you’re set on DIY, put the effort into preparation: take out all the old sealant, make sure the joint is clean and dry, and give it the full cure time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still put it right.
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and does not move well, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.

Signs you need remedial sealant in Ardgay
Sealant needs a clean, dry surface with no grease on it. Soap film, dust, damp or old residue stop it gripping, and the joint starts to come away early.
The problems people normally mention when they call include:
- Repeat leaks from the same joint
- Thick, messy sealant smeared over tiles
- Torn expansion joints
- Caulk or the wrong sealant used in a wet area
For landlords with property near Ardgay station, botched sealant from a previous quick fix is easier to strip out between tenants.
What your quote should include
- How the joint is cleaned and prepared
- Are they insured?
- How the colour is chosen
- How much experience the applicator has
How to look after the new joints
Looking after new joints is easy:
- Never seal over old silicone
- Keep the room well ventilated
- Act on a lifting corner straight away
- Check trays and worktops do not move
Leave the new joint to cure fully before it gets wet or moves: normally around 24 hours, or as long as we advise.
A failing joint rarely gets better on its own. Each use pushes more water behind the bead, into whatever is behind or below. Sorting it early limits the damage.

What remedial sealant looks like in Ardgay
Ardgay is within about 1 mile of the coast. Coastal homes, holiday lets and guest houses can see heavy bathroom use in busy months, and sealant and grout that work that hard wear out sooner. In Scotland, private landlords have to meet the Repairing Standard, which covers keeping fixtures and fittings in a reasonable state of repair. Tired, leaking sealant is worth putting right before a new tenant moves in.
