Remedial sealant in Bowmore
If a joint fails again and again, something is causing it. A tray that moves, a worktop that isn’t fixed, the wrong sealant or water getting in elsewhere will beat any new bead. We look for the cause before we reseal. If you are dealing with torn expansion joints and beads that never stuck properly, we can put it right, on leaking tray & enclosure joints, botched or over-sealed joints and failed movement joints alike.
Being further from a city does not change the work: old material out, joints cleaned and dried, and a fresh, even finish. The journey and access are simply planned in advance.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there’s a problem with our work within the year, let us know and we will sort it.

What we’re called out for in Bowmore
All sealant wears out eventually. Mould grows into the silicone, the surface hardens and the bead shrinks. At that point it has to come out.
Common reasons people contact us are:
- Smears and lumps from a botched reseal
- Worktop sealant that has shrunk and split
- A shower that leaks however often it’s resealed
- Mould trapped under a layer of silicone
In and around Bowmore, as anywhere, good remedial sealant starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint.

Bowmore homes and their sealant
Bowmore 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. Scotland’s water is generally soft, so sealant and grout see less limescale than in much of England. Mould is another matter: a bathroom that stays damp still turns sealant and grout black.
Whether the job is in Bowmore itself or nearby, the right material for each joint matters as much as a neat finish.

How the visit works
Most of a good job is in the preparation, so that’s where we spend the time. Joints are cleaned back and dried before anything new goes in. All told, the work takes a few hours for most joints, depending on how much old sealant has to come out. Outside jobs in Bowmore need a dry day, because sealant won’t bond to a wet joint, so external jobs may need to move if the day turns wet. Indoor work goes ahead whatever the weather.
- First we work out whether the problem is the sealant, movement or a leak.
- Old beads and residue are removed down to clean surfaces.
- Mould is treated and the joint dried.
- The right product goes in, with backing where the joint moves.
- The joint is tooled and you’re told about anything else we found.
How to prepare
- Tell us about any previous sealing or DIY attempts
- Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed
- Keep children and pets away from the work area

Is Bowmore in your area for remedial sealant?
Yes, Bowmore is within the area we cover. We work across all of Scotland. Just email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk with a few details of the job.
What happens if the problem is the tray or the plumbing?
We check for that before we reseal. If the fault is elsewhere, you will know before any work is done.
Will it make a mess?
No. The area is protected while we work and cleaned up afterwards.
Do you offer different sealant colours?
Yes. Sealants come in white, clear, grey and other colours, and we agree the colour with you before work begins.
Can landlords and businesses book you?

How the job changes by surface
Worktops & kitchens
A loose worktop splits its sealant. It needs fixing down first, which we will point out.
Leaking trays & enclosures
A shower that leaks after resealing often has a tray that moves or an enclosure sealed on the wrong side. We check both before any new sealant goes on.
Leave it or put it right?
A joint that has failed twice will fail again unless the cause is dealt with. Taking time to find the cause, whether it’s movement, a leak or the wrong product, is what stops it happening again. In a place like Bowmore, small leaks are easy to put off, but water behind a failed seal does the most damage when nobody’s watching.
No two jobs are quite the same, so we quote each one individually. Size, access and the product the joint needs all play a part.

Aftercare tips
Good habits help new joints last longer. Our tips:
- Find out why the sealant failed first
- Never fill a movement joint with mortar or grout
- Keep an eye on the ceiling below the bathroom
- Deal with small splits early
Where we’ve pointed out another fault, have it put right, or the new joint may fail again.
Mould trapped under over-sealed joints spreads unseen. By the time it shows through, the joint is well past saving.
