Common questions in Cawdor
Will you come out to Cawdor?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. We work across all of Scotland. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Can you do remedial sealant in Cawdor?
Yes, Cawdor is within the area we cover. Our work covers the whole of Scotland. Just email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk with a few details of the job.
Can you remove sealant that’s been put over old sealant?
Yes. We remove every layer; over-sealing fails because silicone will not bond to silicone.
Can old silicone be taken off without scratching the tiles?
Yes. Careful removal is most of a remedial job, particularly on softer surfaces like acrylic.
What do you need from me for a quote?
Where the job is, what the problem is and roughly how big it is. If you can, email a few photos.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, often. Several properties can go on one quote.
Do you do commercial work?
Yes. Hotels, offices and other businesses use us, and we are fully insured.
Do you have insurance?
Yes. We are fully insured, with over 20 years’ experience in sealant work.
What happens if it’s left?
Remedial work takes longer than a straight reseal, but not by much: the work takes a few hours, depending on how many layers have to come out. It’s far less disruption than resealing the same joint again and again. In a place like Cawdor, small leaks are easy to put off, but water through a failed joint keeps working away until it’s fixed.
We do not show prices on the website, because the cost depends so much on the job itself. For a quick quote, please email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk.

Should I try it myself first?
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and does not move well, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.
Some jobs are best left to a professional: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs need the right product, the right access and the right method.
Remedial sealant around Cawdor
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. Mould is another matter: a bathroom that stays damp still turns sealant and grout black.
Rented homes near Nairn station change hands often, and botched sealant from a previous quick fix is easier to strip out between tenants.

What the job involves on each surface
Worktops & kitchens
Kitchen joints often have grease and cleaning residue deep in them, so we spend extra time cleaning.
Leaking trays & enclosures
A shower that leaks after resealing often has a tray that moves or an enclosure sealed on the wrong side. Both are checked before we reseal.
Other services in Cawdor
Common problems we fix in Cawdor
One of the commonest remedial jobs is sealant on top of sealant. New silicone can’t stick to the old bead, so the top layer lifts and water and mould collect between the two.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Floor or wall movement joints that have failed
- Wide, uneven beads that look worse than the old ones
- Over-sealed joints coming away
- Leaks that keep coming back after resealing
Around Cawdor, as everywhere, remedial sealant is only as good as the preparation behind it.

The process
A visit follows a simple pattern: we look at the joints together, mask and protect the surrounding surfaces, do the work and clear up. It normally takes a few hours, depending on how many layers have to come out. Somewhere like Cawdor may be a longer drive, and the journey is planned ahead. Mention tracks, gates, ferries or anything else about the route.
- 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.
- We reseal with a product suited to the joint, backed where needed.
- We finish neatly and point out anything that needs another trade.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any parking rules near the property
- Mention any sign-in or site rules at work premises
- Move anything stored near the joints
