Remedial sealant in Camb, done properly
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 have kitchen joints letting water behind the worktop and a shower that leaks however often it’s resealed, we can put it right, whatever the surface.
Being further from a city does not change the work: everything old is cut out, the joints are cleaned and dried, and new sealant or grout goes in. The journey and access are simply planned in advance.
Each job carries a 12-month guarantee, large or small.

Common problems we fix in Camb
Some joints fail because water is reaching them from behind. A leaking valve, a failed waste or cracked grout feeds water behind the bead, and the sealant lifts or goes mouldy from underneath.
Any of these means the joints need attention:
- Beads that never stuck properly
- Movement joints that have split or pulled away
- Caulk or the wrong sealant used in a wet area
- Thick, messy sealant smeared over tiles
In the older streets around Reafirth Chapel, walls and floors in older homes can move, and sealant and grout show it first.
What to look for in a quote
- When the joint can take water or movement
- Which sealant they’ll use, and why
- What preparation is included
- Is the old sealant removed completely?
Work for landlords, hotels and businesses
Letting agents often deal with us directly. Tell us the address, the job and how access works and we’ll give you a quote.
A neglected joint can let water reach the structure, which is a bigger problem in a rented property. Keeping joints in good order is simple maintenance that we can handle for you.
When it isn’t the sealant
We will always be straight with you, so here’s what new sealant will not do:
- Cracks in the fitting rather than the joint
- A leaking trap, valve or supply pipe
- Old mastic in a building from before 2000 that should be checked for asbestos before it’s disturbed
Not sure which it is? You can email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk and we will tell you honestly.
Where we work in Camb
- Expansion joints
- Leaking tray & enclosure joints
- Shrunken worktop sealant
- Mouldy bath & shower sealant
- Failed movement joints
- Botched or over-sealed joints
Why deal with it now?
Remedial work takes longer than a straight reseal, but not by much: the work takes a few hours for a typical bath or shower, longer where several layers have been applied. Compared with chasing the same leak every few months, it’s time well spent. In an older home around Camb, damp from a failed joint can get into timber and plaster.
What it costs depends on the size of the job, how much old material has to come out and access to the work. You’ll have a clear quote before any work starts.
What you get with us
- Any old sealant cut out fully, not covered over

Looking after it afterwards
Good habits help new joints last longer. A few tips:
- Keep movement joints clear of mortar and paint
- Air the bathroom so the sealant can dry
- Deal with small splits early
- Clean sealant with mild products only
Keep an eye on the joint at first, especially if movement was the problem. If anything changes, just drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk.
Mould under a second layer of sealant keeps growing out of sight. When it finally shows, the whole bead needs to come out.

How the visit works
Once we are on site, we compare the joints with what we discussed. If we find something unexpected, we talk it through with you first. After that, the work takes a few hours for most joints, depending on how much old sealant has to come out. Outdoor work around Camb depends on the weather, as sealant needs a dry surface, so an outdoor job can move if the forecast changes. Indoor work goes ahead whatever the weather.
- We look at how the sealant has failed and check for movement or a leak path.
- Every layer of old sealant is cut and cleaned out.
- We clean the joint, treat any mould and let it dry.
- Where the joint moves, backing and a flexible sealant suited to the movement go in.
- Finally we finish the joint and talk you through what we found.
How to prepare
- For business premises, tell us about site rules or sign-in
- Tell us about any water getting in
- Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints

What information do you need?
Tell us what needs doing and where, with pictures by email if possible. We will ask anything else we need to know.
Do you remove the old sealant?
Yes. Sealing over old sealant is the main reason resealing fails early, and it’s something we never do.
Are you ARBOMaster approved?
Yes. ARBOMaster is the approved applicator scheme for Arbo sealants, and we’re part of it.
Is there any odour?
It depends on the product. Some smell for a while, some hardly at all, and any smell fades as they cure.
Can landlords and businesses book you?
Yes, regularly. Several properties can go on one quote, and between tenancies is a good time for the work.
Can I do it myself?
Some simple jobs can be done by a careful DIYer. Most DIY failures come from sealing over old material, wet joints or too much sealant.
Remedial sealant in Camb: local notes
Camb is close to the coast. Near the coast, holiday lets and guest houses can see bathrooms used by one guest after another, 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. Failed sealant around a bath or shower is worth sorting between tenancies.
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Mid Yell Junior High School, we reseal washrooms and kitchens in schools and businesses as well as homes.
Camb is in the Shetland Islands. Wherever you are in the ZE2 postcode area, our applicators can take on remedial sealant. We cover 63 towns and villages across the Shetland Islands, from the larger towns to small villages.
