Remedial sealant for homes and businesses in Brough
With more than 20 years’ experience, our applicators have seen most of the ways sealant can fail. We’re ARBOMaster approved and fully insured, and remedial work carries our 12-month guarantee. If you’re dealing with over-sealed joints coming away and leaks that keep coming back after resealing, we can help, on mouldy bath & shower sealant, leaking tray & enclosure joints and failed movement joints alike.
Across smaller places in Scotland, homes range from stone and harled cottages to newer houses. Where a building moves, cracked grout and split sealant are usually the first signs.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything isn’t right with it, email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk.

What remedial sealant looks like in Brough
Brough 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. But mould still grows into sealant and grout in a room that doesn’t dry out.
For jobs in and around Brough, choosing the right material for each joint is as important as a tidy finish.
Brough is about 7 miles north-east of Thurso, in Highland. Whether you’re in the middle of Brough or further out, remedial sealant is available for homes and businesses alike. Brough is one of 253 towns and villages in Highland where we work for remedial sealant.

DIY versus a professional finish
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. New silicone will not bond to old, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. All the old material has to come out first.
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and doesn’t move well, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.
Why deal with it now?
Mould under a bead cannot be reached by cleaning. Removal is the only way to get at it, so the joint can be treated and resealed. Around Brough, water from a failed joint in an older stone home can soak 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, email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk for an honest opinion and a quote.

How it works
The work is kept neat and contained to the area we’re working on, so you can get on with your day. Expect the work to take a few hours for a typical bath or shower, longer where several layers have been applied, and we explain the cure time before we leave. Outside jobs in Brough 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.
- The failure is looked at first, so we know whether it’s sealant, movement or water from elsewhere.
- 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.
- We finish neatly and point out anything that needs another trade.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before
- Mention any sign-in or site rules at work premises
- Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed
How to get a quote
Getting a quote is simple: tell us what needs doing and where, and roughly how big it is. A few photos by email make the job easier to understand, and we will take it from there.
Advice
Common problems we fix in Brough
A lot of failed joints have been sealed over rather than replaced. Silicone does not bond to silicone, so the top layer lifts and water and mould collect between the two.
Look out for these signs:
- A shower that leaks however often it’s resealed
- Black mould underneath the bead
- Sealant applied over old sealant that has lifted
- Movement joints that have split or pulled away
In and around Brough, as anywhere, good remedial sealant starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint.
Questions to ask before booking
- Is the old sealant removed completely?
- What guarantee comes with the work
- How much experience the applicator has
- What happens if they find a problem under the old sealant
