About our remedial sealant in Ballachulish
Decorators’ caulk in a shower, bathroom silicone on a window, a rigid filler in a movement joint won’t last, however tidy it looks. Out it comes, and in goes a sealant suited to the job. We work on leaking tray & enclosure joints, expansion joints and mouldy bath & shower sealant, and the jobs we see most are smears and lumps from a botched reseal and dark patches showing through the sealant.
Bathrooms in smaller places like Ballachulish work just as hard as those in the cities. Generally soft Scottish water means less limescale, but steam still lets mould into sealant and grout.
You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Ballachulish as everywhere else we work.

DIY versus a professional finish
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. Silicone doesn’t stick to old silicone, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. All the old material has to come out first.
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.

Remedial sealant in Ballachulish: local notes
Ballachulish is close to 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. In Scotland, private landlords have to meet the Repairing Standard, which includes keeping fixtures and fittings in reasonable repair. Tired, leaking sealant is worth putting right before a new tenant moves in.
Around Ballachulish, as everywhere, remedial sealant is only as good as the preparation behind it.

Advice
Common problems we fix in Ballachulish
One of the commonest remedial jobs is sealant on top of sealant. Silicone doesn’t bond to silicone, so the top layer lifts and water and mould collect between the two.
If you can see any of these, it’s time to have the joints looked at:
- Floor or wall movement joints that have failed
- Worktop sealant that has shrunk and split
- Dark patches showing through the sealant
- Wide, uneven beads that look worse than the old ones
For jobs in and around Ballachulish, choosing the right material for each joint is as important as a tidy finish.

Is it worth trying it myself?
Some simple jobs can be done by a careful DIYer. The usual mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using too much.
Do you fix expansion and movement joints?
Yes. Failed movement joints are cut out and resealed with backing and a flexible sealant suited to the movement.
Can you fix a reseal that hasn’t worked?
Yes. Repeat leaks generally come from over-sealing, movement or water getting in elsewhere, so we find that first.
Aftercare tips
Joint life depends on how it’s used and looked after. Here’s what we suggest:
- Do not wait for a small gap to become a leak
- Report a tray that rocks or a worktop that lifts
- Find out why the sealant failed first
- Keep movement joints clear of mortar and paint
Keep the room ventilated: use the extractor or open a window after showering.
A failing joint rarely gets better on its own. Every shower or downpour sends more water through, into whatever is behind or below. Sorting it early limits the damage.
What sealant work cannot fix
Honest advice matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what sealant can’t fix:
- Plumbing leaks behind walls or under trays
- A tray or bath that’s cracked
- A bath, tray or worktop that moves until it’s properly fixed
If in doubt, send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk and we’ll say what we think before booking.
