About our remedial sealant in Carrbridge
Remedial work is what we do when sealant has failed or been done badly. Silicone laid over silicone, smears across tiles, the wrong product in a moving joint or mould trapped underneath all have to come out before the joint can be done properly. We work on failed movement joints, botched or over-sealed joints and mouldy bath & shower sealant, and the jobs we see most are gaps opening along the back of the worktop and repeat leaks from the same joint.
In and around a place like Carrbridge, homes range from older stone-built properties to newer houses. Older buildings can move a little, and that shows first in cracked grout and split sealant.
Your job is guaranteed for a year, as with all our work.

What the job involves on each surface
Mouldy bath & shower sealant
Black mould inside the bead won’t scrub out. All of it comes out, and the joint is treated and dried before anti-fungal sanitary silicone goes in.
Worktops & kitchens
Kitchen joints often have grease and cleaning residue deep in them, so cleaning takes longer than in a bathroom.

Common problems we fix in Carrbridge
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.
These are the problems we’re asked about most:
- Dark patches showing through the sealant
- Torn expansion joints
- A shower that leaks however often it’s resealed
- Wide, uneven beads that look worse than the old ones
Rented homes near Carrbridge station change hands often, and failed or mouldy sealant is worth putting right between tenancies, before it turns into a leak.
What your quote should include
- How long to leave it before use
- Whether they seal over old material or remove it
- How the joint is cleaned and prepared
- Who turns up on the day
Carrbridge homes and their sealant
In Scotland, private landlords have to meet the Repairing Standard, which includes keeping fixtures and fittings in reasonable repair. Tired, leaking sealant is worth putting right before a new tenant moves in. 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 does not dry out.
In and around Carrbridge, as anywhere, good remedial sealant starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint.

FAQs for Carrbridge
I let a flat near Carrbridge station. Can you help?
Yes, we work for landlords and agents. You can drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk with the address and a few details, and we’ll give you a fixed price before any work starts.
Do you cover Carrbridge for remedial sealant?
Yes, Carrbridge is within the area we cover. We work across all of Scotland. You can drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk and let us know what needs doing, and we’ll send you a clear quote.
Can you remove sealant that’s been put over old sealant?
Yes. We remove every layer; new silicone does not bond to old silicone, which is why over-sealing fails.
Is it messy?
Very little: the area around the joints is protected first, and we tidy up before we go.
Do you do commercial work?
Yes. Hotels, offices and other businesses use us, and we are fully insured.
How long before the joint can be used?
Most sealants are touch-dry well before they’re fully cured. We’ll tell you how long to leave the joint.
What happens if the problem is the tray or the plumbing?
We will tell you. A cracked tray, faulty valve or leaking waste needs a different trade, and we won’t reseal for the sake of it.
What does remedial sealant cost?
We don’t publish prices, because the cost depends on the job: its size, the old material, access and the product needed. We agree the price before any work begins.
What affects the cost of remedial sealant
Some jobs are bigger than they look, and some smaller. The main factors:
- How easy the joints are to reach
- How many rooms, windows or areas are involved
- Whether there’s mould to deal with
- How much old sealant there is and how hard it is to remove
Every job is a little different, so each one gets its own quote. Size, access and the product the joint needs all make a difference, and we will explain the quote if you ask.
What we need to know
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote. When you get in contact, it helps to mention:
- The rough size of the job
- The address or postcode of the job
- What’s wrong with the joints now
- Pictures of the joints, sent by email
Getting a quote is simple: tell us what needs doing and where, and roughly how big it is. A few pictures by email make the job easier to understand, and we will take it from there.
DIY sealant or a professional job?
If you do try it yourself, take your time over the preparation: remove every trace of old sealant, clean and dry the joint, and follow the product’s cure time. If it fails, we can still redo it.
Not every job suits DIY: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas need the right product, the right access and the right method.
What happens on the day
You do not need to clear the whole room or building before we come, only the area right around the joints. Everything nearby is protected, and the work takes a few hours for a typical bath or shower, longer where several layers have been applied for a typical job. Outside jobs in Carrbridge need a dry day, because sealant will not 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.
- We treat any mould and dry the joint thoroughly.
- The right product goes in, with backing where the joint moves.
- We finish neatly and point out anything that needs another trade.
Before we arrive
- For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can
- Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed
- Tell us about any previous sealing or DIY attempts
Ask for a quote
The more we know about the job, the more useful the quote. Let us know the location, the problem and roughly how many joints, and email pictures if that’s easy.

What happens if it’s left?
Leaks that are left keep doing damage out of sight: soaked floorboards, ceiling stains below and blown plaster. By comparison, sorting the joint is quick. In a place like Carrbridge, small leaks are easy to put off, but water behind a failed seal does the most damage when nobody’s watching.
Rather than a set price list, we price the job in front of us: the amount of work, the old material and the access. The price is agreed before we begin.
