Looking after it afterwards
No joint lasts for ever, but care makes a real difference. Our tips:
- Run the fan after every shower
- Look for stains below bathrooms now and then
- Find out why the sealant failed first
- Report a tray that rocks or a worktop that lifts
Ventilation keeps mould away from the new bead: run the fan during and after showers, or open a window.
Mould under a second layer of sealant keeps growing out of sight. By the time it shows through, the joint is well past saving.
Remedial sealant in Colgrain
A movement joint stops working when its sealant splits or sets hard. The old sealant comes out and backing goes in to control the depth, then a flexible sealant matched to the movement goes in. We work on failed movement joints, mouldy bath & shower sealant and leaking tray & enclosure joints, and the jobs we see most are dark patches showing through the sealant and floor or wall movement joints that have failed.
A bathroom in a place like Colgrain 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 stand behind the work with a 12-month guarantee, so you’re not left on your own once the job is done.

What the job involves on each surface
Mouldy bath & shower sealant
Mould that has grown into silicone does not clean out for good. All of it comes out, and the joint is treated and dried before anti-fungal sanitary silicone goes in.
Leaking trays & enclosures
A shower that leaks after resealing often has a tray that moves or an enclosure sealed on the wrong side. We check both before we reseal.
What happens on the day
We keep the work tidy and contained to the joints we’re treating. The job generally takes a few hours for most joints, depending on how much old sealant has to come out, and we explain the cure time before we leave. Around Colgrain, distance and access matter more than parking. Tell us how to find the property and how to reach the work, and the visit is planned around that.
- First we find out how and where the joint has failed.
- All the old sealant comes out, including any layers underneath.
- We clean the joint, treat any mould and let it dry.
- We use the right backing and sealant for any joint that moves.
- Finally we finish the joint and talk you through what we found.
How to prepare

- Tell us if parking is tricky

What remedial sealant looks like in Colgrain
Colgrain is close to 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. Private landlords in Scotland must be registered and meet the Repairing Standard, which covers keeping fixtures and fittings in a reasonable state of repair. Tired, leaking sealant is worth putting right before a new tenant moves in.
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Hermitage Academy, we reseal washrooms and kitchens in schools and businesses as well as homes.

FAQs for Colgrain
Can you do remedial sealant in Colgrain?
Yes. Our work covers the whole of Scotland, and Colgrain is part of that. You can drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk and tell us what needs doing.
Do you work for landlords with property near Craigendoran station?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. Just send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk and tell us about the property, and we’ll send you a clear quote.
Can you remove old sealant without damaging the bath?
Yes. We avoid heavy scraping and use the right cleaner for each surface, so the new sealant bonds cleanly.
Do you offer different sealant colours?
Yes. White, clear and grey are common, and other colours are available for many products, and we’ll agree it with you first.
Can you quote for more than one area?
Yes. Tell us about everything you’d like done and you’ll get one quote.
Someone resealed my shower and it’s leaking again. Can you help?
Yes. Repeat leaks generally come from over-sealing, movement or water getting in elsewhere, so we find that first.
What does remedial sealant cost?
We don’t publish prices, because the cost depends on the job: its size, the old material, access and the product needed. You will get a clear quote before any work starts.
Can failed expansion joints be resealed?
Yes. Where mortar or filler has been used instead of sealant, it’s removed where it can be, then the joint is sealed properly.

Why it’s worth doing now in Colgrain
Mould under a bead cannot be reached by cleaning. The layers have to come out. Exposed walls in smaller Scottish places take a lot of wind and rain, and damp in stone or harled walls takes a long time to dry once water gets behind a joint.
A few things move the cost up or down: the old material and how easily it comes out, any mould to treat, and whether we need extra access for height. We take all of that into account in your quote.
Why us?
- 20+ years of sealant experience
- Every job guaranteed for a year
- Arbo and Everbuild products
- An ARBOMaster approved applicator

For landlords and businesses
We also work for property managers and facilities teams. Several sites can go on one quote, and we’re fully insured.
A neglected joint can let water reach the structure, which is a bigger problem in a rented property. Resealing at the right time is simple maintenance that we can handle for you.
Do you need remedial sealant in Colgrain?
Even good sealant ages. Over the years it shrinks, hardens and gets colonised by mould, faster where ventilation is poor. Then the only fix is removal and a new bead.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Torn expansion joints
- Mould trapped under a layer of silicone
- Over-sealed joints coming away
- Products that weren’t meant for the joint
If you let a flat or house near Craigendoran station, failed or mouldy sealant is worth putting right between tenancies, before it turns into a leak.
