DIY sealant or a professional job?
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions, and the work is guaranteed for a year.
A DIY attempt does not rule out a professional job. We cut it out and start again.
How we handle remedial sealant in Charlestown of Aberlour
Removing failed sealant is the hardest part of the job. We cut out every layer, clear the residue and degrease the surfaces, taking care not to scratch the surfaces around it. New sealant only bonds to a clean, dry joint. We are often asked to deal with over-sealed joints coming away and worktop sealant that has shrunk and split, on botched or over-sealed joints, failed movement joints and shrunken worktop sealant.
Being further from a city doesn’t change the work: everything old is cut out, the joints are cleaned and dried, and new sealant or grout goes in. We just plan the journey and access beforehand.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If there’s a problem with it, please email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk.

Landlord and commercial work in Charlestown of Aberlour
Hotels need rooms back in use, so we plan the work room by room. Hotel work is part of what we do, alongside homes and businesses.
Housing providers, facilities teams and property managers book us too. Several sites can go on one quote, and we’re fully insured.
Do you need remedial sealant in Charlestown of Aberlour?
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.
Common reasons people contact us are:
- Caulk or the wrong sealant used in a wet area
- Floor or wall movement joints that have failed
- Wide, uneven beads that look worse than the old ones
- Sealant that came away because the surface wasn’t prepared
For an older house near a landmark such as Aberlour Parish Church, older homes can move a little, which is hard on rigid grout and tired sealant.

Your questions about remedial sealant in Charlestown of Aberlour
What guarantee comes with remedial sealant in Charlestown of Aberlour?
Every job comes with our 12-month guarantee, wherever it is. We are fully insured, and an ARBOMaster approved applicator.
Can you do remedial sealant in Charlestown of Aberlour?
Yes, Charlestown of Aberlour is within the area we cover. Our work covers the whole of Scotland. You can drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk and let us know what needs doing, and we will give you a clear quote.
Are you insured?
Yes. Full insurance covers our work, and we can confirm the details when we quote.
What if the leak is not the sealant?
In that case, we tell you what we have found. A plumber or fitter may be needed.
Are you an approved applicator?
Yes. ARBOMaster is the approved applicator scheme for Arbo sealants, and we’re part of it.
Can you take off two layers of silicone?
Yes. We remove every layer; over-sealing fails because silicone will not bond to silicone.
Do you fix expansion and movement joints?
Yes. If a joint has been filled with mortar or rigid filler, we rake it out where possible, then the joint is sealed properly.
What do you need from me for a quote?
Only a few details: where it is, what you’ve noticed and how we reach it. After that, simply email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk.
What else we do in Charlestown of Aberlour
What the job involves on each surface
Over-sealed & botched joints
Every layer has to come out, including the smears and film on surrounding tiles. Only a clean joint will take a new bead.
Worktops & kitchens
Kitchen joints hold grease and residue, so we spend extra time cleaning.
How it works
At the end, we look at the finished work together and explain the cure time. The work normally takes a few hours for most joints, depending on how much old sealant has to come out, depending on the amount of work. Outside jobs in Charlestown of Aberlour 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. Work indoors isn’t affected.
- We look at how the sealant has failed and check for movement or a leak path.
- 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.
- The new joint is tooled neatly and we explain anything else we found.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed
- Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints
- Let us know about stairs, lifts or work at height

Remedial sealant around Charlestown of Aberlour
Scotland’s water is generally soft, so sealant and grout see less limescale than in much of England. Mould is another matter: a bathroom that stays damp still turns sealant and grout black. In Scotland, private landlords have to meet the Repairing Standard, which covers keeping fixtures and fittings in a reasonable state of repair. Failed sealant around a bath or shower is worth sorting between tenancies.
In and around Charlestown of Aberlour, as anywhere, good remedial sealant starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint.
