Surface by surface
Windows & doors
Failed frame mastic is often hard, cracked and in several layers. We remove it all and clean back to sound surfaces.
Worktops & kitchens
Shrunken worktop sealant leaves a gap that lets water into the back edge. We strip it, degrease the joint and reseal in a colour to suit.
The process
You don’t need to clear the whole room or building, just the space around the work. Everything nearby is protected, and the job takes a few hours for most joints, depending on how much old sealant has to come out in most cases. For a place like Ardheisker, longer drives are planned in advance. Tell us about tracks, gates, a ferry crossing or anything unusual about getting there.
- We protect the surfaces around the joint.
- The botched or failed sealant is cut away completely.
- The joint is degreased and checked for movement and leaks.
- New sealant goes in once the joint is dry, and is tooled smooth.
- You get the cure time and our view on why the joint failed.
Before we arrive
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Let us know about parking restrictions
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive

Looking after it afterwards
Simple care keeps the joints in good condition. Our advice:
- Use a soft cloth, not a scourer, on silicone
- Run the fan after every shower
- Ask why a joint failed before redoing it
- Act on a lifting corner straight away
If the joint ever needs renewing, have it cut out, not sealed over. New silicone doesn’t bond to old.
Mould trapped under over-sealed joints spreads unseen. When it finally shows, the whole bead needs to come out.
What we cannot put right
New sealant cannot fix everything, and we’d rather say so up front. Sealant won’t put right:
- Plumbing leaks behind walls or under trays
- Older mastics that may need an asbestos check before removal
- Water damage behind tiles that needs a tiler
Not sure which it is? You can drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk and we will tell you honestly.
What we seal
- Failed movement joints
- Mouldy bath & shower sealant
- Expansion joints
- Botched or over-sealed joints
- Shrunken worktop sealant
- Leaking tray & enclosure joints
Bathrooms and kitchens in Ardheisker
Ardheisker is close to the coast. Coastal homes, holiday lets and guest houses can see heavy bathroom use in busy months, which wears sealant and grout out faster than in a quiet home. 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.
For jobs in and around Ardheisker, choosing the right material for each joint is as important as a tidy finish. Around Ardheisker, as everywhere, remedial sealant is only as good as the preparation behind it.

Questions from Ardheisker
Is remedial sealant in Ardheisker guaranteed?
All our work, in Ardheisker and everywhere else, comes with a 12-month guarantee. We’re fully insured, and an ARBOMaster approved applicator.
Can you do remedial sealant in Ardheisker?
Yes, Ardheisker 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, and we will give you a clear quote.
Can landlords and businesses book you?
Yes, we do. Domestic, commercial and hotel work are all part of what we do.
Is it worth trying it myself?
For a simple, easy-to-reach joint, a careful DIYer can do a reasonable job. The usual mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using too much.
What happens if the problem is the tray or the plumbing?
We will tell you. If it’s a cracked tray, a failed valve or a leaking waste, resealing won’t fix it, so we won’t pretend it will.
Can you do several jobs on one visit?
Of course. Doing several areas at once is normally more efficient, so mention them when you ask for a quote.
Is it messy?
No. We protect the surfaces around the joints, and we tidy up before we go.
When is the sealant fully cured?
Different products cure at different speeds, so please follow the time we give you when we finish.
What affects the cost of remedial sealant
Every job gets its own quote. This is what makes a difference:
- The product the joint needs
- Working hours on commercial sites
- How much old sealant there is and how hard it is to remove
- Access and height
What you pay reflects the work, not guesswork. That is why we ask about the job first and give you a clear quote before work begins.
What we need to know
Before you ask for a quote, have a think about:
- The problem you’ve noticed
- Where the job is, and your postcode
- If it’s domestic, commercial or a hotel
- Any previous sealing or DIY work
The more we know about the job, the more useful the quote. Tell us where the job is, what’s wrong and how much there is, and email photos if that’s easy.
Leave it or put it right?
A failed seal rarely means a new bathroom. If the bath, tray and tiles are sound, remedial resealing normally puts it right. If they’re not, we’ll tell you. In an older home around Ardheisker, damp from a failed joint can get into timber and plaster, which is a far bigger job than the sealant.
The cost depends on the size of the job, how hard the old material is to remove and how easy the joints are to reach. We give a clear quote before work begins.

DIY versus a professional finish
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. New silicone won’t bond to old, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. All the old material has to come out first.
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, such as a straightforward joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
