Remedial sealant & repairs in Clachan, Argyll and Bute
Failed sealant joints in Clachan need attention? We cut out the old, prepare the joints and apply the right sealant, with a 12-month guarantee.
- Smears and lumps from a botched reseal
- Gaps opening along the back of the worktop
- Movement joints that have split or pulled away
Should I try it myself first?
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.
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. New silicone won’t bond to old, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. All the old material has to come out first.
Remedial sealant in Clachan
Not every leak is a sealant leak. A cracked tray, a failed shower valve or a leaking waste can look just the same. When the fault is elsewhere, we say so instead of resealing for the sake of it. We work on mouldy bath & shower sealant, shrunken worktop sealant and failed movement joints, and people most often call us about smears and lumps from a botched reseal and torn expansion joints.
Across smaller places in Scotland, homes range from stone and harled cottages to newer houses. Older buildings can move a little, and that shows first in cracked grout and split sealant.
A 12-month guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

Common questions in Clachan
Will you come out to Clachan?
Yes, we do. We work across all of Scotland, from towns to the smallest places. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
Is there a guarantee on remedial sealant in Clachan?
All our work, in Clachan and everywhere else, comes with a 12-month guarantee. We’re fully insured, and an ARBOMaster approved applicator.
Can you take off two layers of silicone?
Yes. We remove every layer; new silicone does not bond to old silicone, which is why over-sealing fails.
Do I need to be at home?
If the work is inside, we need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Can you fix a reseal that hasn’t worked?
Yes. We’ll take all the sealant out, look for why it failed and reseal it properly.
Where is Mr Mastic based?
We are a Crawley-based firm, with over 20 years’ experience. We work across South East England, London and Scotland.
Do you hold any approvals?
Yes. We hold ARBOMaster approved applicator status, and we’re fully insured.

A neglected joint can let water reach the structure, which matters even more when someone else lives there. Resealing at the right time is simple maintenance that we can handle for you.
Bathrooms and kitchens in Clachan
Clachan is within about 1 mile of 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. 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.
Around Clachan, as everywhere, remedial sealant is only as good as the preparation behind it. For jobs in and around Clachan, choosing the right material for each joint is as important as a tidy finish.

What we do, step by step
We work through the job in order: protect, prepare, seal, tidy. For most jobs that takes a few hours for most joints, depending on how much old sealant has to come out, and the area is left clean. Around Clachan, distance and access matter more than parking. Let us know how to find you and how to reach the joints, and the visit is planned around that.
- First we work out whether the problem is the sealant, movement or a leak.
- Each layer is cut out and the residue cleaned off.
- We treat any mould and dry the joint thoroughly.
- 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
- Let us know about parking restrictions
- Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive

Advice
What the job involves on each surface
Worktops & kitchens
Old kitchen sealant pulls back from the wall over time. It’s cut out, degreased and resealed colour-matched to the worktop.
Movement & expansion joints
Movement joints in floors, walls and façades need a flexible sealant set to the right depth. We remove the failed sealant, fit backing and reseal with a low-modulus product.
Keeping the joints in good condition
Joint life depends on how it’s used and looked after. Here’s what we suggest:
- Always have old sealant cut out, not covered
- Keep the room well ventilated
- Keep movement joints clear of mortar and paint
- Get the cause of a repeat leak found before resealing
Keep an eye on the joint at first, particularly where the original failure was caused by movement. Should anything change, drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk.
Warning signs: peeling layers, mould showing through the bead, leaks after showering or cracks in a movement joint. Each one is worth getting looked at.
Leave it or put it right?
Remedial work takes longer than a straight reseal, but not by much: the work takes a few hours for most joints, depending on how much old sealant has to come out. It’s far less disruption than resealing the same joint again and again. Around Clachan, water from a failed joint in an older stone home can soak into timber and plaster.
There are no prices on our website, because the cost depends so much on the job itself. For a quick quote, please send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk and we’ll talk you through it.
