Remedial sealant for homes and businesses in Baile a' Mhanaich
Water on the floor doesn’t always mean failed silicone. A cracked tray, a failed shower valve or a leaking waste can look just the same. When the fault is elsewhere, we say so instead of resealing for the sake of it. We work on leaking tray & enclosure joints, failed movement joints and expansion joints, and people most often call us about gaps opening along the back of the worktop and products that weren’t meant for the joint.
In and around a place like Baile a' Mhanaich, 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.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you’re covered after we’ve gone.

Why act early in Baile a' Mhanaich
Stripping out botched sealant adds time to a reseal, but not by much: it takes a few hours, depending on how many layers have to come out. It’s far less disruption than resealing the same joint again and again. In an older home around Baile a' Mhanaich, damp from a failed joint can get into timber and plaster.
A few things move the cost up or down: the old material and how easily it comes out, any mould to treat, and whether we need extra access for height. We take all of that into account in your quote.
Why book with us

- Wide, uneven beads that look worse than the old ones
- Torn expansion joints
- Decorators’ caulk around a bath or shower
- A shower that leaks however often it’s resealed
Around Baile a' Mhanaich, as everywhere, remedial sealant is only as good as the preparation behind it.

DIY versus a professional finish
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that is fine. We remove it and do the joint properly, so just mention it when you contact us.
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.
How we quote for remedial sealant
There’s no set price list, because no two jobs are the same. What we look at:
- How many rooms, windows or areas are involved
- Whether there’s mould to deal with
- When we can work, for business premises
- The product the joint needs
We don’t show prices on the website, because the cost depends so much on the job itself. Call for a quick quote and we’ll talk you through it.
What we need to know
There’s no need for technical detail. It helps if you can tell us:
- Access, such as stairs, a lift or height
- How many joints, rooms or windows are involved
- Whether it has been sealed before
- If it’s domestic, commercial or a hotel
Quotes start with a quick conversation. Tell us what’s wrong, where it is and how much there is, and we’ll talk you through what we’d do. Whenever you’re ready, send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk.

Advice
How the job changes by surface
Windows & doors
Smeared or badly matched mastic can be cut out and redone neatly, matched to the frame colour.
Over-sealed & botched joints
A botched joint can hide two or three layers of sealant, including the smears and film on surrounding tiles. New sealant needs a fully clean surface.
