Signs you need remedial sealant in Craignure
How a joint is built matters as much as the product. Sealant packed too deep, or stuck to the back of the joint as well as the sides, cannot stretch, so it tears when the joint moves. Backing sets the depth and stops that.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Wide, uneven beads that look worse than the old ones
- Worktop sealant that has shrunk and split
- Caulk or the wrong sealant used in a wet area
- A shower that leaks however often it’s resealed
Around Craignure, as everywhere, remedial sealant is only as good as the preparation behind it.

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.
Craignure homes and their sealant
Craignure 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. Scotland’s water is generally soft, so sealant and grout see less limescale than in much of England. Mould is another matter: a bathroom that stays damp still turns sealant and grout black.
If you live in an older home near Torosay Church, walls and floors in older homes can move, and sealant and grout show it first.

When it isn’t the sealant
Sealant is not the answer to every problem, and we’ll tell you before we start. It will not solve:

- Leaks from a shower valve, waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
- A bath, tray or worktop that moves until it’s properly fixed
If you are not sure, just send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.
What we seal
- Shrunken worktop sealant

DIY sealant or a professional job?
Not every job suits DIY: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is, then guaranteed for a year.
Craignure questions
Is remedial sealant in Craignure guaranteed?
Every job comes with our one-year guarantee, wherever it is. We’re fully insured, and an ARBOMaster approved applicator.
Do you cover Craignure for remedial sealant?
Yes, Craignure 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 let us know what needs doing.
Do you remove the old sealant?
Always. Sealing over the old bead is the commonest cause of early failure, so we never do it.
Can you fix a reseal that hasn’t worked?
Yes. Repeat leaks normally come from over-sealing, movement or water getting in elsewhere, and we deal with the cause first.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
Do I have to be there?
For indoor joints, yes, someone needs to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Do you offer different sealant colours?
Generally, yes. White, clear and grey are common, and other colours are available, and we agree the colour with you before any work starts.
How long does the work take?
The number of joints and layers decides it. You will have a timescale before any work begins.
How the visit works
When we arrive, we start by going over the job with you, so you know exactly what we’re doing. We protect the surfaces around the joints before any work begins. The work normally takes a few hours, depending on how many layers have to come out. Outdoor work around Craignure depends on the weather, as sealant needs a dry surface, so external jobs may need to move if the day turns wet. Indoor work goes ahead whatever the weather.
- The failure is looked at first, so we know whether it’s sealant, movement or water from elsewhere.
- Old beads and residue are removed down to clean surfaces.
- Mould is treated and the joint dried.
- We reseal with a product suited to the joint, backed where needed.
- The joint is tooled and you are told about anything else we found.
How to prepare
- Tell us if parking is tricky
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before
- Let us know about stairs, lifts or work at height

How to look after the new joints
To keep the joints looking good and working properly:
- Keep the room well ventilated
- Find out why the sealant failed first
- Report a tray that rocks or a worktop that lifts
- Never seal over old silicone
Keep an eye on the joint at first, especially if movement was the problem. Should anything change, email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk.
Mould trapped under over-sealed joints spreads unseen. By the time it shows through, the joint is well past saving.
Why act early in Craignure
A failed seal rarely means a new bathroom. If the bath, tray and tiles are sound, remedial resealing usually puts it right. Where something else has failed, you’ll hear it from us. Around Craignure, water from a failed joint in an older stone home can soak into timber and plaster.
Rather than a set price list, we look at what your job involves: how many joints, what’s in them now and how we reach them. You will know the price before we begin.
Why us?
- Colour picked to suit the job
- Any old sealant cut out fully, not covered over
