About our remedial sealant in Armadale
If a joint fails again and again, something is causing it. Movement, the wrong product or a leak from somewhere else will defeat even a perfect bead. We look for the cause before we reseal. Common call-outs are for smears and lumps from a botched reseal and caulk or the wrong sealant used in a wet area, across botched or over-sealed joints, leaking tray & enclosure joints and expansion joints.
In and around a place like Armadale, homes range from older stone-built properties to newer houses. Where a building moves, cracked grout and split sealant are normally the first signs.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you’re covered after we’ve gone.

Work for landlords, hotels and businesses
Letting agents and landlords in Armadale can book us as well as householders. Sealant work between tenants is a simple way to keep a property in good order before the next move-in.
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 be quoted together.
When to call us in Armadale
All sealant wears out eventually. Mould grows into the silicone, the surface hardens and the bead shrinks, faster where ventilation is poor. At that point it has to come out.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- A shower that leaks however often it’s resealed
- Decorators’ caulk around a bath or shower
- Sealant applied over old sealant that has lifted
- Movement joints that have split or pulled away
If you let a flat or house near Mallaig station, failed or mouldy sealant is worth putting right between tenancies, before it turns into a leak.

What we do, step by step
On the day, we look over the joints with you first, so there are no surprises. We protect the surfaces around the joints before we start. Most jobs take a few hours for most joints, depending on how much old sealant has to come out. For a place like Armadale, longer drives are planned in advance. Tell us about tracks, gates, a ferry crossing or anything unusual about getting there.
- First we work out whether the problem is the sealant, movement or a leak.
- Old beads and residue are removed down to clean surfaces.
- 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 are told about anything else we found.
Preparing for the visit
- Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit
- Move anything stored near the joints

Remedial sealant in Armadale: local notes
Armadale 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.
Around Armadale, as everywhere, remedial sealant is only as good as the preparation behind it.

Armadale: your questions answered
Is Armadale within the area you cover?
Yes, Armadale is covered. We work across all of Scotland, and smaller places are part of that. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
I let a flat near Mallaig station. Can you help?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for. You can send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk with the details for a clear quote.
Do you guarantee remedial jobs?
Yes. Our one-year guarantee covers the work, and we’re ARBOMaster approved.
How do I get a quote for remedial sealant in Armadale?
The cost depends on the size of the job, access and how much old sealant has to come out. Call for a quick quote.
Can you remove old sealant without damaging the bath?
Yes. The old bead is cut and lifted with tools that suit the surface, and the residue is cleaned away. We point out any damage that’s already there.
Do you have insurance?
Yes. We are fully insured for domestic and commercial work.
Are you ARBOMaster approved?
Yes. We are an ARBOMaster approved applicator, the approved applicator scheme for Arbo sealants.
Will the old sealant be removed?
Yes, every time. New silicone doesn’t stick to old silicone, so any old material comes out before anything new goes in.
What happens if it’s left?
It’s easy to scratch acrylic, enamel or an uPVC frame cutting out old sealant, and any film left behind stops new sealant sticking. Careful removal is most of a remedial job. In an older home around Armadale, damp from a failed joint can get into timber and plaster.
There are no prices on our website, because each job is priced on what it involves. Call for a quick quote.

DIY versus a professional finish
Some jobs are best left to a professional: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas need the right product, the right access and the right method.
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. Silicone does not stick to old silicone, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. Everything old must be removed first.
Aftercare tips
No joint lasts for ever, but care makes a real difference. A few tips:
- Keep an eye on the ceiling below the bathroom
- Do not wait for a small gap to become a leak
- Air the bathroom so the sealant can dry
- Keep bleach and abrasives off the bead
Go easy on the new sealant: no scraping, scouring pads or harsh chemicals.
Movement joints that have split let water into the structure, and left long enough, the edges of the joint can crumble. A joint with sound edges is far easier to reseal.
