How the visit works
When we get to you, we check the joints match what you told us. If we find something unexpected, we talk it through with you first. Most jobs then take a few hours for most joints, depending on how much old sealant has to come out. Somewhere like Balivanich may be a longer drive, and the journey is planned ahead. Mention tracks, gates, ferries or anything else about the route.
- We protect the surfaces around the joint.
- Every layer of failed sealant is stripped out.
- The joint is degreased and checked for movement and leaks.
- Once dry, a suitable sealant is applied and tooled.
- You get the cure time and our view on why the joint failed.
Getting ready for the visit
- Clear items away from the joints we’re working on
- Tell us about access, such as stairs, a lift or high-level joints
- Let us know if you’ve seen damp or leaks

Remedial sealant in Balivanich
If a joint fails again and again, something is causing it. Movement, the wrong product or a leak from somewhere else will beat any new bead. Finding that cause comes before any new sealant. Typical jobs include sealant peeling off a dusty or damp surface and gaps opening along the back of the worktop, on expansion joints, shrunken worktop sealant and botched or over-sealed joints.
A bathroom in a place like Balivanich gets the same daily wear as one in a city flat. Generally soft Scottish water means less limescale, but steam still lets mould into sealant and grout.
All our work comes with a 12-month guarantee, wherever you are in Na h-Eileanan Siar.

What we are called out for in Balivanich
Using the wrong product is a common cause: caulk where it gets wet, rigid sealant where things move, or an acetoxy silicone on a surface it can mark. None of them last.
People generally contact us after spotting something like this:
- Repeat leaks from the same joint
- Gaps opening along the back of the worktop
- Decorators’ caulk around a bath or shower
- Floor or wall movement joints that have failed
In and around Balivanich, as anywhere, good remedial sealant starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint.

Your questions about remedial sealant in Balivanich
Is remedial sealant in Balivanich guaranteed?
Every job comes with our 12-month guarantee, wherever it is. We are also fully insured and ARBOMaster approved.
Do you cover Balivanich for remedial sealant?
Yes. Our work covers the whole of Scotland, and Balivanich is part of that. Just email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk with a few details of the job.
Do you offer different sealant colours?
Yes. White, clear and grey are common, and other colours are available for many products, and we will agree it with you first.
Someone resealed my shower and it’s leaking again. Can you help?
Yes. There’s generally a reason: sealant over sealant, movement or another leak, and we deal with the cause first.
How long does the work take?
The number of joints and layers decides it. You’ll have a timescale before any work begins.
Where are you based?
Our base is Crawley, with over 20 years’ experience. Our area covers South East England, London and Scotland.
What do you need from me for a quote?
The location, the problem and the rough size of the job. Photos by email help too.
What does remedial sealant cost?
There’s no set price, as it depends on the job: its size, the old material, access and the product needed. You’ll get a clear quote before any work starts.
What remedial sealant looks like in Balivanich
Balivanich is close to the coast. Near the coast, holiday lets and guest houses can see bathrooms used by one guest after another, which wears sealant and grout out faster than in a quiet home. 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.
Whether the job is in Balivanich itself or nearby, the right material for each joint matters as much as a neat finish.

What happens if it’s left?
Hidden water does the most damage: soaked floorboards, ceiling stains below and blown plaster. By comparison, sorting the joint is quick. In a place like Balivanich, small leaks are easy to put off, but water through a failed joint keeps working away until it’s fixed.
We don’t show prices on the website, because the cost depends so much on the job itself. For a quick quote, please send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk.

DIY sealant or a professional job?
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.
If you’re set on DIY, put the effort into preparation: remove every trace of old sealant, clean and dry the joint, and follow the product’s cure time. If it does not work out, we can still put it right.
What affects the quote in Balivanich
The price is agreed before any work begins. It takes into account:
- Access and height
- How many areas need sealing
- Mould in or behind the old joints
- Working hours on commercial sites
Commercial jobs are quoted on the same basis as homes: the amount of work, the access and the products needed, along with when we can work on site. Ask us for a quote and we will explain what it covers.
What to tell us for a quote
Photos by email are helpful but not essential. Please mention:
- If someone has resealed it before
- The rough size of the job
- Where the property is
- Photos by email, if that is easy
Every job is quoted individually, so the first step is telling us about yours. Just drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk with the details.
What we can’t put right
Some problems need a builder, plumber or other trade rather than us:
- A cracked shower tray or bath (that needs repair or replacing)
- Failed tanking or loose tiles behind the sealant
- Old mastic in a building from before 2000 that should be checked for asbestos before it’s disturbed
Not sure which it is? You can email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

Looking after it afterwards
Good habits help new joints last longer. Our tips:
- Run the fan after every shower
- Deal with small splits early
- Keep an eye on the ceiling below the bathroom
- Keep movement joints clear of mortar and paint
Keep an eye on the joint at first, particularly where the original failure was caused by movement. If anything changes, just send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk.
If a joint has failed more than once, stop resealing it. Have someone find out why, otherwise the next attempt will fail too.
