- Wide, uneven beads that look worse than the old ones

- A second bead peeling off the first
How the visit works
The work is kept neat and contained to the joints we are treating, so you can carry on as normal. The job generally takes a few hours, depending on how many layers have to come out, and we explain the cure time before we leave. Outside jobs in Clachan Shannda need a dry day, because sealant won’t bond to a wet joint, so an outdoor job can move if the forecast changes. Work indoors is not affected.
- We protect the surfaces around the joint.
- The botched or failed sealant is cut away completely.
- The joint is degreased and checked for movement and leaks.
- Once dry, a suitable sealant is applied and tooled.
- You get the cure time and our view on why the joint failed.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know if you’ve seen damp or leaks
- For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can
- Clear items away from the joints we are working on

How we handle remedial sealant in Clachan Shannda
Remedial jobs in Clachan Shannda normally fall into a few patterns: over-sealed joints, hidden mould, repeat leaks and split movement joints. We strip each one back and start from scratch. We work on expansion joints, botched or over-sealed joints and failed movement joints, and people most often call us about black mould underneath the bead and a second bead peeling off the first.
A bathroom in a place like Clachan Shannda gets the same daily wear as one in a city flat. Limescale is less of a problem with Scotland’s generally soft water, but mould still takes hold in damp sealant and grout.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something isn’t right with it in that time, tell us and we will put it right.

What affects the quote in Clachan Shannda
You’ll get a clear quote before we start. It takes into account:
- The old material and how stubborn it is
- The product the joint needs
- Mould in or behind the old joints
- How easy the joints are to reach
Every job is a little different, so we quote each one individually. The number of joints, how easy they are to reach and the sealant needed all make a difference, and we will explain the quote if you ask.
Asking for a quote
Photos help, but a description is a good start. Please mention:
- The rough size of the job
- Any previous sealing or DIY work
- A few photos by email, if you can
- How we’d reach the joints
It all starts with a short chat. Describe the problem, the location and the size of the job, and we will explain how we’d tackle it. Whenever you are ready, email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk.
Can I do it myself?
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and does not move well, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.
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.

Questions from Clachan Shannda
Do you cover Clachan Shannda for remedial sealant?
Yes, Clachan Shannda is within the area we cover. Our work covers the whole of Scotland. Just send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk with a few details of the job, and we’ll give you a clear price.
Is Clachan Shannda within the area you cover?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. We work across all of Scotland, including the islands, where work is planned around ferry crossings. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
How long should I leave it?
Cure times vary by product and the temperature. We tell you how long to leave it before we go.
Does someone need to be in?
It depends on the job. For work indoors, someone needs to let us in, while outside work can sometimes be arranged differently.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, often. We can quote for several properties at once, and between tenancies is a good time for the work.
Is it worth trying it myself?
Sometimes. Preparation is everything: all the old sealant out, and a clean, dry joint. If it does not work out, we can redo it.
Can failed expansion joints be resealed?
Yes. The depth is set with backing so the sealant only bonds to the two sides, which lets it stretch.
What do you need from me for a quote?
Where the job is, what the problem is and roughly how big it is. Photos by email help too.
Different surfaces, different methods
Leaking trays & enclosures
Repeat shower leaks often come from a tray that flexes or an enclosure sealed in the wrong place. We check both before any new sealant goes on.
Windows & doors
Smeared or badly matched mastic can be cut out and redone neatly, matched to the frame colour.
When to call us in Clachan Shannda
All sealant wears out eventually. Mould grows into the silicone, the surface hardens and the bead shrinks. At that point it has to come out.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Floor or wall movement joints that have failed
- Black mould underneath the bead
- Over-sealed joints coming away
- Leaks that keep coming back after resealing
Around Clachan Shannda, as everywhere, remedial sealant is only as good as the preparation behind it.

Why act early in Clachan Shannda
Another bead over the top will not fix a failed joint. It doesn’t grip the old layer, so the leak carries on and there’s now more to remove. Around Clachan Shannda, water from a failed joint in an older stone home can soak into timber and plaster, which is a far bigger job than the sealant.
We do not show prices on the website, because the cost depends so much on the job itself. Call for a quick quote.
