Remedial sealant around Balintore
Balintore 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. 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.
In and around Balintore, as anywhere, good remedial sealant starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint.

Remedial sealant in Balintore
A joint that keeps letting you down needs more than another bead. Send photos when you email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk, along with when it was last resealed. Typical jobs include over-sealed joints coming away and repeat leaks from the same joint, on failed movement joints, leaking tray & enclosure joints and shrunken worktop sealant.
A bathroom in a place like Balintore gets the same daily wear as one in a city flat. Limescale is less of a problem with Scotland’s generally soft water, but mould still takes hold in damp sealant and grout.
Each job carries a 12-month guarantee, whatever its size.

What affects the quote in Balintore
The quote reflects the job in front of us. We take into account:
- How much there is to do
- Access and height
- When we can work, for business premises
- Whether there’s mould to deal with
The cost reflects the work involved, not a rough estimate. That is why we ask about the job first and agree the price before starting.
What to tell us for a quote
To make quoting easier, let us know:
- Where the property is
- How many joints, rooms or windows are involved
- Whether it’s a home or a business
- How we’d reach the joints
We quote each job on its own, so start by telling us what you need. Simply email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk and describe the job.
When something else is needed
It helps to know what we can’t do too:
- A bath, tray or worktop that moves until it’s properly fixed
- Old mastic in a building from before 2000 that should be checked for asbestos before it’s disturbed
- Leaks from a shower valve, waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
Not sure which it is? You can email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk and we’ll tell you honestly.
Surfaces we seal
- Expansion joints
- Mouldy bath & shower sealant
- Shrunken worktop sealant
- Leaking tray & enclosure joints
- Failed movement joints
- Botched or over-sealed joints
Leave it or put it right?
Adding more sealant is the usual quick fix, and it rarely works. It cannot bond to what’s underneath, so the leak carries on and there’s now more to remove. In an older home around Balintore, damp from a failed joint can get into timber and plaster.
Instead of a standard rate, we price the job in front of us: the amount of work, the old material and the access. The price is agreed before we begin.
Why Balintore customers choose us
- Full insurance on every job
- Homes, businesses and hotels
- We leave the area clean and tidy
- Anti-fungal sanitary silicone in wet areas

What we’re called out for in Balintore
A lot of failed joints have been sealed over rather than replaced. New silicone cannot stick to the old bead, so the new layer peels, and damp and mould settle between them.
These are the problems we are asked about most:
- Beads that never stuck properly
- A second bead peeling off the first
- Floor or wall movement joints that have failed
- Smears and lumps from a botched reseal
Rented homes near Fearn station change hands often, and failed or mouldy sealant is worth putting right between tenancies, before it turns into a leak.
What your quote should include
- Is the old sealant removed completely?
- Whether you can choose the colour
- How much experience the applicator has
- How the joint is cleaned and prepared
Different surfaces, different methods
Windows & doors
A frame that keeps leaking may not be the mastic. If the frame joint is not the cause, we’ll say so.
Worktops & kitchens
Shrunken worktop sealant leaves a gap that lets water into the back edge. We strip it, degrease the joint and reseal.
Balintore questions
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Fearn station?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for. Just email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk with the address and what needs doing, and we will send you a clear quote.
Will you come out to Balintore?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. We work across all of Scotland. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
What sealant do you use?
It depends on the joint: anti-fungal sanitary silicone in wet areas, and other sealants where joints move or face the weather. We use products from Arbo and Everbuild.
Does remedial work come with a guarantee?
Yes, with our one-year guarantee. Where we’ve flagged another fault, it needs fixing for the joint to last.
Can you do several jobs on one visit?
Yes, and it often makes sense. Combining jobs makes good use of the visit.
Are you ARBOMaster approved?
Yes. We’re approved under the ARBOMaster scheme, the approved applicator scheme for Arbo sealants.
Do I need to be at home?
That depends on where the joints are. For work indoors, someone needs to let us in.
Can I choose the sealant colour?
Usually, yes. Sealants come in white, clear, grey and other colours, and we will agree it with you first.
Can I do it myself?
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that’s fine. We remove it and do the joint properly, so just mention it when you contact us.
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions, then guaranteed for a year.
The process
On the day, there’s very little for you to do. Point us to the joints and we’ll get on with it. The work itself takes a few hours for most joints, depending on how much old sealant has to come out from start to finish. For a place like Balintore, longer drives are planned in advance. Mention tracks, gates, ferries or anything else about the route.
- We look at how the sealant has failed and check for movement or a leak path.
- All the old sealant comes out, including any layers underneath.
- The joint is cleaned, treated for mould and left to dry.
- We use the right backing and sealant for any joint that moves.
- Finally we finish the joint and talk you through what we found.
How to prepare
- On commercial sites, let us know about site rules
- Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work
- Clear items away from the joints we’re working on
