Remedial sealant in Dalchalm, done properly
The wrong product in the wrong joint fails however neatly it’s applied. We take it out and use a sealant made for that joint. If you are dealing with decorators’ caulk around a bath or shower and beads that never stuck properly, we can help, on botched or over-sealed joints, mouldy bath & shower sealant and expansion joints alike.
Bathrooms in smaller places like Dalchalm work just as hard as those in the cities. Limescale is less of a problem with Scotland’s generally soft water, but mould still takes hold in damp sealant and grout.
Each job carries a 12-month guarantee, large or small.

What affects the cost of remedial sealant
We don’t publish a price list. The quote depends on:
- Access and height
- The amount of work
- Which sealant suits the joint
- Whether there’s mould to deal with
What it costs depends on the size of the job, how much old material has to come out and access to the work. We give a clear quote before we start, so you know where you stand.
Asking for a quote
There’s no need for technical detail. It helps if you can tell us:
- The rough size of the job
- Any access issues, like height or stairs
- The type of property
- A few photos by email, if you can
We quote each job on its own. Just drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk with the details and send photos if you have them.
What remedial sealant looks like in Dalchalm
Dalchalm is close to 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. Scottish Water supplies are generally soft, so limescale is less of a problem than in hard-water areas. Mould is another matter: a bathroom that stays damp still turns sealant and grout black.
If you let a flat or house near Brora station, a joint that keeps failing is best fixed properly while the property is empty. Around Dalchalm, as everywhere, remedial sealant is only as good as the preparation behind it.

Surface by surface
Movement & expansion joints
Some movement joints have been filled with mortar or grout. We rake that out where it can be removed and seal with a flexible product.

Is Dalchalm in your area for remedial sealant?
Yes. Our work covers the whole of Scotland, and Dalchalm is part of that. You can send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk and tell us what needs doing, and we will give you a clear price.

Do you guarantee remedial jobs?

What happens if the problem is the tray or the plumbing?
We check for that before we reseal. If the fault is elsewhere, you will know before any work is done.
Do you hold any approvals?
Yes. We hold ARBOMaster approved applicator status.
Do you work for letting agents?
Yes, we do. Domestic, commercial and hotel work are all part of what we do.
Can failed expansion joints be resealed?
Yes. If a joint has been filled with mortar or rigid filler, we rake it out where possible, and reseal with a flexible product.
Do you do commercial work?
Yes, regularly. We can plan bigger jobs in stages to suit the site.
DIY sealant or a professional job?
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, such as a straightforward joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.
Some jobs are best left to a professional: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
The process
We keep the work tidy and contained to the joints we are treating. Expect the work to take a few hours for a typical bath or shower, longer where several layers have been applied, and we tell you how long to leave it before we go. In smaller Scottish places, parking is usually less of an issue than access and distance. Tell us how to find the property and how to reach the work, and the visit is planned around that.
- Surrounding tiles, trays and frames are protected first.
- The botched or failed sealant is cut away completely.
- The joint is degreased and checked for movement and leaks.
- 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
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit
- Move anything stored near the joints
- Tell us if parking is tricky

Advice
How to look after the new joints
Simple care keeps the joints in good condition. Our advice:
- Always have old sealant cut out, not covered
- Keep bleach and abrasives off the bead
- Keep the room well ventilated
- Look for stains below bathrooms now and then
If the joint ever needs renewing, have it cut out, not sealed over. Over-sealing is how many remedial jobs start, so the old bead should always come out first.
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.
