Is there a guarantee on remedial sealant in Brough?
All our work, in Brough and everywhere else, comes with a 12-month guarantee. We’re also fully insured and ARBOMaster approved.
What information do you need?
A short description and the location, plus pictures if you have them. We’ll ask anything else we need to know.
How long should I leave it?
Cure times vary by product and the conditions. Before we leave, we will tell you the cure time.
Can I choose the sealant colour?
We help you choose a colour that suits, from white and clear to greys and other shades. The product needed can limit the range.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes, we can. Several rooms, windows or areas can go on one quote.
Do you fix expansion and movement joints?

Should I try DIY first?
That depends on the joint. Work at height, movement joints, fire-rated gaps and large areas are best left to a professional.
About our remedial sealant in Brough
The wrong product in the wrong joint won’t last, however tidy it looks. Out it comes, and in goes a sealant suited to the job. If you’re dealing with a second bead peeling off the first and dark patches showing through the sealant, we can put it right.
In and around a place like Brough, homes range from older stone-built properties to newer houses. Where a building moves, cracked grout and split sealant are normally the first signs.
Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by our one-year guarantee.

What else we do in Brough
How to look after the new joints
Joint life depends on how it’s used and looked after. We suggest:
- Keep movement joints clear of mortar and paint
- Air the bathroom so the sealant can dry
- Keep an eye on the ceiling below the bathroom
- Deal with small splits early
Watch the joint over the first few weeks, particularly where the original failure was caused by movement. If anything changes, just email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk.
A split movement joint lets rain into walls and floors, and the longer it’s left, the more the joint edges break down. Resealing while the edges are sound is simpler.
How we quote for remedial sealant
For a quick quote, just ask. What matters most is:
- The size of the job
- How easy the joints are to reach
- Which sealant suits the joint
- When we can work, for business premises
Leaving a failed joint generally makes the job bigger, not smaller, because water and mould keep working on it. If you’re not sure whether it needs doing, email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk and we’ll give you an honest view and a quote.
What to tell us for a quote
When you contact us, these details help:
- Any previous sealing or DIY work
- Where the job is, and your postcode
- If it’s domestic, commercial or a hotel
- How we’d reach the joints

How the job changes by surface
Worktops & kitchens
Kitchen joints hold grease and residue, so cleaning takes longer than in a bathroom before resealing.
Over-sealed & botched joints
Thick, smeared sealant looks messy and hides problems. Taking it back shows what’s underneath.
Landlord and commercial work in Brough
Businesses can book us for washrooms, kitchens, offices and more. On commercial sites, working times can be discussed when we quote.
For anyone letting property in or around Brough, several properties can be quoted together. Just tell us the addresses and what each one needs.
What we cannot put right
Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits too:
- Cracks in the fitting rather than the joint
- Old mastic in a building from before 2000 that should be checked for asbestos before it’s disturbed
- Failed tanking or loose tiles behind the sealant
Not sure which it is? You can email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk and we’ll tell you honestly.
What we seal
- Leaking tray & enclosure joints
- Shrunken worktop sealant
- Botched or over-sealed joints
- Expansion joints
- Failed movement joints
- Mouldy bath & shower sealant
How the visit works
On the day, there’s very little for you to do. Point us to the joints and we’ll get on with it. The work itself takes a few hours, depending on how many layers have to come out, including the tidy-up. For a place like Brough, longer drives are planned in advance. Tell us about tracks, gates, a ferry crossing or anything unusual about getting there.
- We start by checking the joint for movement, leaks and the reason it failed.
- We strip the joint completely, removing any layers below.
- We clean the joint, treat any mould and let it dry.
- Moving joints get backing and a flexible sealant to suit.
- Finally we finish the joint and talk you through what we found.
Preparing for the visit
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before
- Tell us about any water getting in

Advice
Remedial sealant around Brough
Brough is within about 1 mile of the coast. Coastal homes, holiday lets and guest houses can see heavy bathroom use in busy months, which wears sealant and grout out faster than in a quiet home. Island jobs need planning around ferries and the weather, so give us as much notice as you can.
Around Brough, as everywhere, remedial sealant is only as good as the preparation behind it. Homes close to Whalsay Parish Church include some older properties, and bathrooms in older houses have often been refitted more than once, with sealant laid over sealant.

Why it’s worth doing now in Brough
DIY removal often leaves scratches and a film of residue, and the residue left behind stops the next bead bonding. Careful stripping is where most of our time goes. In an older home around Brough, damp from a failed joint can get into timber and plaster, which is a far bigger job than the sealant.
What you pay reflects the work, not a rough estimate. That is why we ask about the job first and give you a clear quote before any work starts.
