How the visit works
There is not much for you to do on the day. Show us the job and we will take it from there. The work itself takes a few hours for a typical bath or shower, longer where several layers have been applied. Outdoor work around Balliveolan depends on the weather, as sealant needs a dry surface, so external jobs may need to move if the day turns wet. Indoor work goes ahead whatever the weather.
- We protect the surfaces around the joint.
- The botched or failed sealant is cut away completely.
- The joint is degreased and checked for movement and leaks.
- Once dry, a suitable sealant is applied and tooled.
- We give you the cure time and explain what caused the failure.
Before we arrive
- Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work
- Mention any parking rules near the property
- For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can

Remedial sealant in Balliveolan
In Balliveolan, as anywhere, remedial jobs tend to look alike: over-sealed joints, hidden mould, repeat leaks and split movement joints. We strip each one back and start from scratch. We’re often asked to deal with mould trapped under a layer of silicone and torn expansion joints, across failed movement joints, shrunken worktop sealant and leaking tray & enclosure joints.
Bathrooms in smaller places like Balliveolan work just as hard as those in the cities. Limescale is less of a problem with Scotland’s generally soft water, but mould still takes hold in damp sealant and grout.
Your job is guaranteed for a year, as with all our work.

What the job involves on each surface
Over-sealed & botched joints
A thick bead smeared across tiles often hides mould or gaps. We strip it back so we can see the joint, and then we reseal it neatly.
Mouldy bath & shower sealant
Mould that has grown into silicone does not clean out for good. All of it comes out, and the joint is treated and dried before anti-fungal sanitary silicone goes in.
Common problems we fix in Balliveolan
Movement tears sealant that is not designed for it. A bath that flexes, a tray that rocks or a building joint that opens and closes split any bead that is too stiff or too thin.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- Floor or wall movement joints that have failed
- Wide, uneven beads that look worse than the old ones
- Dark patches showing through the sealant
- Gaps opening along the back of the worktop
Whether the job is in Balliveolan itself or nearby, the right material for each joint matters as much as a neat finish.

Balliveolan homes and their sealant
Balliveolan is within about 3 miles 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. Private landlords in Scotland must be registered and 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 Balliveolan, as everywhere, remedial sealant is only as good as the preparation behind it.

Looking after it afterwards
No joint lasts for ever, but care makes a real difference. Our tips:
- Have loose fittings fixed before resealing
- Keep movement joints clear of mortar and paint
- Clean sealant with mild products only
- Check ceilings under showers for marks
If we have found a cause, such as a loose tray or a leaking waste, get it fixed, because the new sealant can’t hold back a problem underneath.
Warning signs: sealant lifting at the ends, a second bead visible on top of the first, black mould under the silicone, or stains below a bathroom. Each one is worth getting looked at.
What happens if it’s left?
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. Exposed walls in smaller Scottish places take a lot of wind and rain, and damp in stone or harled walls takes a long time to dry once water gets behind a joint.
A failed joint rarely gets cheaper to fix by waiting, as water and mould keep getting in. If you’re unsure, drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk for an honest opinion and a quote.

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 tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and doesn’t move well, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.
For landlords and businesses
Water getting past a failed joint can damage the building, which matters even more when someone else lives there. Resealing at the right time is simple maintenance that we can handle for you.
Hotels need rooms back in use, so we plan the work room by room around your bookings where we can. Hotel work is part of what we do, alongside homes and businesses.
