Remedial sealant for homes and businesses in Clivocast
Remedial work is what we do when sealant has failed or been done badly. New sealant over old, smeared beads, unsuitable products and hidden mould all need stripping out. If you are dealing with beads that never stuck properly and kitchen joints letting water behind the worktop, we can help, whatever the surface.
For a place like Clivocast, the job is the same as anywhere: old material out, joints cleaned and dried, and a fresh, even finish. We just plan the journey and access beforehand.
All of our work is guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you are.

The process
The work is kept neat and contained to the joints we’re treating, so you can carry on as normal. The job normally takes a few hours for most joints, depending on how much old sealant has to come out, and we tell you how long to leave it before we go. Around Clivocast, 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.
- We protect the surfaces around the joint.
- Every layer of failed sealant is stripped out.
- We clean and degrease the joint and look for signs of movement or water.
- New sealant goes in once the joint is dry, and is tooled smooth.
- 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
- Mention any tricky access
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit

DIY sealant or a professional job?
A DIY attempt does not rule out a professional job. We cut it out and start again, so tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.

What the job involves on each surface
Worktops & kitchens
Kitchen joints hold grease and residue, so cleaning takes longer than in a bathroom.
Movement & expansion joints
Bonding on three sides is a common reason movement joints tear. Backing rod or bond-breaker tape prevents it, so the sealant grips the two sides only.
When something else is needed
In fairness, some problems need a different trade:
- Leaks from a shower valve, waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
- Water damage behind tiles that needs a tiler
- A bath, tray or worktop that moves until it’s properly fixed
If you’re not sure, just send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk and we’ll give you a straight answer.
Where we work in Clivocast
- Botched or over-sealed joints
- Failed movement joints
- Shrunken worktop sealant
- Mouldy bath & shower sealant
- Leaking tray & enclosure joints
- Expansion joints
Leave it or put it right?
Leaks that are left keep doing damage out of sight: wet floors, stained ceilings and swollen worktops. By comparison, sorting the joint is quick. Out of town in Scotland, exposed walls take a lot of weather, and once water gets behind a failed joint, damp in stone or harled walls is slow to dry out.
The cost reflects the work involved, not guesswork. That’s why we ask about the job first and agree the price before starting.

What remedial sealant looks like in Clivocast
Clivocast is close to the coast. Coastal homes, holiday lets and guest houses can see heavy bathroom use in busy months, which wears sealant and grout out faster than in a quiet home. Island jobs need planning around ferries and the weather, so give us as much notice as you can.
If you live in an older home near Uyeasound Church, walls and floors in older homes can move, and sealant and grout show it first.
Clivocast is in the Shetland Islands. Whether you’re in the middle of Clivocast or further out, remedial sealant is available for homes and businesses alike. Clivocast is one of 63 places in the Shetland Islands where we work for remedial sealant.

Clivocast: your questions answered
Is Clivocast in your area for remedial sealant?
Yes, Clivocast 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 tell us what needs doing.
Is Clivocast within the area you cover?
Yes, we do. We work across all of Scotland, islands included, from towns to the smallest places. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
Can you work on commercial sites?
Yes. Hotels, offices and other businesses use us, and we are fully insured.
How long should I leave it?
It depends on the product and the conditions. Before we leave, we will tell you the cure time.
Can you fix a reseal that hasn’t worked?
Yes, normally. We check it’s the sealant and not the tray, valve or waste, then strip and reseal the joints.
Can you reseal a split movement joint?
Yes. Backing sets the depth and stops the sealant sticking to the back, which lets it stretch.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, regularly. Several properties can go on one quote, and between tenancies is a good time for the work.
Is there any odour?
Possibly a little. Any smell clears as the sealant cures, and ventilation helps.
Signs you need remedial sealant in Clivocast
Some joints fail because water is reaching them from behind. A slow leak behind the tiles soaks the joint from the back, so the silicone goes mouldy or lets go.
If you can see any of these, it’s time to have the joints looked at:
- A shower that leaks however often it’s resealed
- Sealant peeling off a dusty or damp surface
- Torn expansion joints
- Products that weren’t meant for the joint
Around Clivocast, as everywhere, remedial sealant is only as good as the preparation behind it.
