Craigmore homes and their sealant
Craigmore is within about 1 mile of 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. There are hotels and other places to stay in and around Craigmore. Hotel bathrooms are part of our work as well as homes, and can be done room by room.
If you live in an older home near Trinity Church, bathrooms in older houses have often been refitted more than once, with sealant laid over sealant. Schools such as Rothesay Academy are buildings too, and we reseal washrooms and kitchens in schools and businesses as well as homes.

How we handle remedial sealant in Craigmore
Movement and expansion joints fail when the sealant cannot stretch. We cut out the failed sealant and set the depth with backing, then a flexible sealant matched to the movement goes in. Typical jobs include torn expansion joints and gaps opening along the back of the worktop, on leaking tray & enclosure joints, botched or over-sealed joints and shrunken worktop sealant.
In and around a place like Craigmore, homes range from older stone-built properties to newer houses. Where a building moves, cracked grout and split sealant are generally the first signs.

DIY versus a professional finish
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
Landlord and commercial work in Craigmore
A neglected joint can let water reach the structure, which is a bigger problem in a rented property. Keeping joints in good order is simple maintenance that we can handle for you.
We also work for property managers and facilities teams in Craigmore and across Argyll and Bute. Several sites can be quoted together, and we are fully insured for the work.
Quotes for remedial sealant in Craigmore
For a quick quote, just ask. The main things that affect it are:
- The size of the job
- The number of rooms or windows
- Access and height

A few things move the cost up or down: how much old sealant there is and how stubborn it is, whether mould needs treating, and whether we need extra access for height. Your quote takes all of that into account.

Surface by surface
Over-sealed & botched joints
Every layer has to come out, including the smears and film on surrounding tiles. New sealant needs a fully clean surface.
Mouldy bath & shower sealant
Repeat mould normally points to a damp, poorly aired room. We’ll reseal and tell you if extraction looks to be the issue.
What happens on the day
All our tools and materials come with us in the van, so you don’t need to buy or prepare anything. After a quick look at the joints together, we protect the area and start. Most jobs take a few hours, depending on how many layers have to come out. Outside jobs in Craigmore need a dry day, because sealant won’t bond to a wet joint, so an outdoor job can move if the forecast changes. Indoor work goes ahead whatever the weather.
- We protect the surfaces around the joint.
- The botched or failed sealant is cut away completely.
- We clean and degrease the joint and look for signs of movement or water.
- Once dry, a suitable sealant is applied and tooled.
- We give you the cure time and explain what caused the failure.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit
- Move anything stored near the joints

FAQs for Craigmore
Do you cover smaller places like Craigmore?
Yes, Craigmore is covered. Our work covers the whole of Scotland, and smaller places are part of that. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
Is Craigmore in your area for remedial sealant?
Yes. We work across all of Scotland, and Craigmore is part of that. Just drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk with a few details of the job.
Can you remove sealant that is been put over old sealant?
Yes. Both layers come out; new silicone does not bond to old silicone, which is why over-sealing fails.
Are you insured?
Yes. Mr Mastic is fully insured, and we’ve been doing sealant work for more than 20 years.
When is the sealant fully cured?
That depends on the sealant used, so follow the cure time we give you.
Will it make a mess?
No. The area is protected while we work and cleaned up afterwards.
What if resealing won’t fix my leak?
Then we explain what we have found. You may need a plumber or bathroom fitter.
How long will it take to strip and reseal the joint?
That depends on how many layers there are and how many joints. You’ll have a timescale before any work begins.
How to look after the new joints
To keep the joints looking good and working properly:
- Clean sealant with mild products only
- Air the bathroom so the sealant can dry
- Have loose fittings fixed before resealing
- Get the cause of a repeat leak found before resealing
Don’t let anyone seal over it later. Over-sealing is how many remedial jobs start.
Warning signs: sealant lifting at the ends, a second bead visible on top of the first, black mould under the silicone, or stains below a bathroom. Any of them means it’s time for remedial work.
Leave it or put it right?
Another bead over the top will not fix a failed joint. It doesn’t grip the old layer, leaving the leak in place and one more layer to cut out later. In a place like Craigmore, small leaks are easy to put off, but water behind a failed seal does the most damage when nobody’s watching.
No two jobs are quite the same, so each one gets its own quote. The number of joints, how easy they are to reach and the sealant needed all make a difference, and we’ll explain the quote if you ask.
