Borgh homes and their sealant
Borgh 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. Private landlords in Scotland must be registered and meet the Repairing Standard, which includes keeping fixtures and fittings in reasonable repair. Failed sealant around a bath or shower is worth sorting between tenancies.
Whether the job is in Borgh itself or nearby, the right material for each joint matters as much as a neat finish.
Borgh (Gaelic: Borve) is in Na h-Eileanan Siar. Anywhere in HS2, we can carry out remedial sealant at your property. Borgh is one of 87 towns and villages in Na h-Eileanan Siar we cover.
All of HS2 is covered for remedial sealant. That includes homes and businesses on Gearra Mor and Sraid na H-Eaglaise and the roads around them. Nearby, we also carry out remedial sealant in Shader (1 mile south-west), Barabhas (5 miles south-west), West Side (6 miles south-west), South Dell (6 miles north-east) and North Dell (6 miles north-east). Remote and island addresses need a little more planning, so please mention your location when you email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk.
How we handle remedial sealant in Borgh
Getting old sealant out properly is slow, careful work. Every layer is cut out, the residue cleaned off and the joint degreased, without scratching tiles, trays or frames. Only then can new sealant bond. Typical jobs include sealant peeling off a dusty or damp surface and over-sealed joints coming away, across failed movement joints, mouldy bath & shower sealant and expansion joints.
Across smaller places in Scotland, homes range from stone and harled cottages to newer houses. Older buildings can move a little, and that shows first in cracked grout and split sealant.
You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Borgh as everywhere else we work.

Leave it or put it right?
Stripping out botched sealant adds time to a reseal, but rarely a lot: the work 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 Borgh, damp from a failed joint can get into timber and plaster.
A failed joint rarely gets cheaper to fix by waiting, as water and mould keep getting in. If you’re not sure whether it needs doing, drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk for an honest opinion and a quote.

How we quote for remedial sealant
Your quote is based on your job. We look at:
- The amount of work
- The old material and how stubborn it is
- The product the joint needs
- How easy the joints are to reach
There are no prices on our website, because the cost depends so much on the job itself. For a quick quote, please drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk.
What to tell us for a quote
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote. When you get in contact, it helps to mention:
- Photos by email, if that’s easy

- Where the property is
We quote each job on its own, so the first step is telling us about yours. Simply drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk and describe the job.
What we’re called out for in Borgh
Products get mixed up: caulk where it gets wet, rigid sealant where things move, or an acetoxy silicone on a surface it can mark. Each fails in its own way.
The problems people generally mention when they call include:
- Wide, uneven beads that look worse than the old ones
- Sealant peeling off a dusty or damp surface
- Kitchen joints letting water behind the worktop
- Products that weren’t meant for the joint
In and around Borgh, as anywhere, good remedial sealant starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint.
What to look for in a quote
- Who does the work, and how experienced they are
- Whether the sealant suits the joint
- The length of the guarantee
- Whether VAT is included
What the job involves on each surface
Movement & expansion joints
Movement joints in floors, walls and façades need a flexible sealant set to the right depth. Failed sealant is cut out, backing rod or tape is fitted and the joint resealed with a low-modulus product.
Over-sealed & botched joints
Botched joints sometimes have damaged edges from earlier scraping. We take care not to make it worse, and tell you about any damage we find.
Honest limits
We’d rather tell you now than do work that won’t last, so these are the limits:
- Old mastic in a building from before 2000 that should be checked for asbestos before it’s disturbed
- Movement from fittings that aren’t supported
- A leaking trap, valve or supply pipe
If in doubt, drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk and we’ll say what we think.
Joints and surfaces we work on
- Mouldy bath & shower sealant
- Expansion joints
- Botched or over-sealed joints
- Shrunken worktop sealant
- Failed movement joints
- Leaking tray & enclosure joints
What happens on the day
On the day, there’s very little for you to do. 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, including the tidy-up. Outside jobs in Borgh need a dry day, because sealant will not bond to a wet joint, so an outdoor job can move if the forecast changes. Indoor work goes ahead whatever the weather.
- We start by checking the joint for movement, leaks and the reason it failed.
- All the old sealant comes out, including any layers underneath.
- Next, any mould is treated and the joint dried.
- We use the right backing and sealant for any joint that moves.
- Finally we finish the joint and talk you through what we found.
Before we arrive
- On commercial sites, let us know about site rules
- Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed
- For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can
