Leave it or put it right?
A joint that has failed twice will fail again unless the cause is dealt with. Taking time to find the cause, whether it’s movement, a leak or the wrong product, is what stops it happening again. In an older home around Cromdale, damp from a failed joint can get into timber and plaster.
The cost reflects the work involved, not guesswork. That’s why we ask a few questions first and give you a clear price before any work starts.

Remedial sealant for homes and businesses in Cromdale
Decorators’ caulk in a shower, bathroom silicone on a window, a rigid filler in a movement joint fails however neatly it’s applied. Out it comes, and in goes a sealant suited to the job. If you’re dealing with torn expansion joints and decorators’ caulk around a bath or shower, we can put it right, on failed movement joints, mouldy bath & shower sealant and leaking tray & enclosure joints alike.
For a place like Cromdale, 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.
All our work comes with our one-year guarantee.

DIY sealant or a professional job?
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is.
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.
Aftercare tips
Looking after new joints is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Get the cause of a repeat leak found before resealing
- Use a soft cloth, not a scourer, on silicone
- Never fill a movement joint with mortar or grout
- Have loose fittings fixed before resealing
Keep the room ventilated: run the fan during and after showers, or open a window.
A failing joint rarely gets better on its own. Every shower or downpour sends more water through, into floors, walls or ceilings. Early action keeps it to a sealant job.

Questions from Cromdale

Every job comes with our 12-month guarantee, wherever it is. We’re fully insured, and an ARBOMaster approved applicator.
Do you cover Cromdale for remedial sealant?
Yes. We work across all of Scotland, and Cromdale is part of that. Just drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk with a few details of the job, and we’ll send you a clear quote.
How long will it take to strip and reseal the joint?
Allow a few hours for a typical bath or shower, longer where several layers have been applied. We will give you a timescale when we quote.
What do you need from me for a quote?
A short description and the location, plus pictures if you have them. If we need more, we will ask.
How long before the joint can be used?
Many sealants skin over quickly but take longer to cure fully. We’ll tell you how long to leave the joint before we leave.
Can landlords and businesses book you?
Yes. We work for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, businesses and hotels across Highland.
Do you have insurance?

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.
When to call us in Cromdale
Sealant needs a clean, dry surface with no grease on it. Soap film, dust, damp or old residue stop it gripping, so it starts lifting sooner than it should.
Any of these means the joints need attention:
- Thick, messy sealant smeared over tiles
- Torn expansion joints
- Black mould underneath the bead
- A second bead peeling off the first
Homes close to Cromdale Parish Church include some older properties, and walls and floors in older homes can move, and sealant and grout show it first.
Questions to ask before you book
- How much experience the applicator has
- The length of the guarantee
- Whether they seal over old material or remove it
- Which sealant they’ll use, and why
What happens on the day
We keep the work tidy and contained to the joints we’re treating, so you can carry on as normal. The job generally takes a few hours for most joints, depending on how much old sealant has to come out. Outside jobs in Cromdale need a dry day, because sealant will not bond to a wet joint, so external jobs may need to move if the day turns wet. Work indoors isn’t affected.
- 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.
- We give you the cure time and explain what caused the failure.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us if parking is tricky
- Mention any tricky access
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive

Advice
Bathrooms and kitchens in Cromdale
Scottish Water supplies are generally soft, so limescale is less of a problem than in hard-water areas. But mould still grows into sealant and grout in a room that does not dry out. In Scotland, private landlords have to 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.
