Remedial sealant for homes and businesses in Cromarty
The wrong product in the wrong joint fails however neatly it’s applied. Out it comes, and in goes a sealant suited to the job. If you have over-sealed joints coming away and worktop sealant that has shrunk and split, we can help, whatever the surface.
For a place like Cromarty, the job is the same as anywhere: everything old is cut out, the joints are cleaned and dried, and new sealant or grout goes in. The journey and access are simply planned in advance.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there’s a problem with our work within the year, let us know and we’ll sort it.

What happens if it’s left?
Ripping out a bathroom is not generally needed. When the fittings are sound, stripping and resealing the joints is often enough. Where something else has failed, you will hear it from us. 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.
Every job is a little different, so we quote each one individually. Size, access and the product the joint needs all play a part.

Remedial sealant in Cromarty: local notes
Cromarty 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. Private landlords in Scotland must be registered and meet the Repairing Standard, which includes keeping fixtures and fittings in reasonable repair. Tired, leaking sealant is worth putting right before a new tenant moves in.
Whether the job is in Cromarty itself or nearby, the right material for each joint matters as much as a neat finish.

Can I do it myself?
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and does not move well, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. Silicone doesn’t stick to old silicone, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. Everything old must be removed first.
What we are called out for in Cromarty
Sealant needs a clean, dry surface with no grease on it. Residue, moisture or dust left in the joint weaken the bond, and the joint starts to come away early.
Look out for any of the following:
- Sealant that came away because the surface wasn’t prepared
- A shower that leaks however often it’s resealed
- Smears and lumps from a botched reseal
- Caulk or the wrong sealant used in a wet area
Around Cromarty, as everywhere, remedial sealant is only as good as the preparation behind it.

What we cannot put right
We’d rather tell you now than do work that won’t last, so these are the limits:
- Movement from fittings that are not supported
- Plumbing leaks behind walls or under trays
- Older mastics that may need an asbestos check before removal
Not sure which it is? You can drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk and we will tell you honestly before booking.
Joints and surfaces we work on
- Botched or over-sealed joints
- Mouldy bath & shower sealant
- Expansion joints
- Shrunken worktop sealant
- Leaking tray & enclosure joints
- Failed movement joints
Aftercare tips
After the cure time, these simple habits help:
- Air the bathroom so the sealant can dry
- Keep bleach and abrasives off the bead
- Ask why a joint failed before redoing it
- Never fill a movement joint with mortar or grout
Where we’ve pointed out another fault, have it put right, or the new joint may fail again.
Mould under a second layer of sealant keeps growing out of sight. By the time it shows through, the joint is well past saving.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Should I try DIY first?
For a simple, easy-to-reach joint, a careful DIYer can do a reasonable job. Most DIY failures come from sealing over old material, wet joints or too much sealant.
The process
When we get to you, we compare the joints with what we discussed. If anything is different, we explain it before carrying on. After that, the work takes a few hours for a typical bath or shower, longer where several layers have been applied. Outdoor work around Cromarty 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.
- 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.
How to prepare
- For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can
- Let us know about stairs, lifts or work at height
- Mention any parking rules near the property
