Remedial sealant in Dalmally
Water on the floor doesn’t always mean failed silicone. A cracked tray, a failed shower valve or a leaking waste can look just the same. When the fault is elsewhere, we say so instead of resealing for the sake of it. We work on shrunken worktop sealant, botched or over-sealed joints and leaking tray & enclosure joints, and common reasons people get in touch are products that weren’t meant for the joint and movement joints that have split or pulled away.
Bathrooms in smaller places like Dalmally 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.
Your job is guaranteed for a year, as with all our work.

Remedial sealant around Dalmally
Private landlords in Scotland must be registered and meet the Repairing Standard, which includes keeping fixtures and fittings in reasonable repair. Failed sealant around a bath or shower is worth sorting between tenancies. Scotland’s water is generally soft, so sealant and grout see less limescale than in much of England. But mould still grows into sealant and grout in a room that does not dry out.
If you let a flat or house near Dalmally station, a joint that keeps failing is best fixed properly while the property is empty. Homes close to Glenorchy Parish Church include some older properties, and bathrooms in older houses have often been refitted more than once, with sealant laid over sealant.

How to look after the new joints
To keep the joints looking good and working properly:
- Get the cause of a repeat leak found before resealing
- Use a soft cloth, not a scourer, on silicone
- Don’t add new sealant on top of old
- Air the bathroom so the sealant can dry
If the joint ever needs renewing, have it cut out, not sealed over. Over-sealing is how many remedial jobs start.
Mould trapped under over-sealed joints spreads unseen. By the time it shows through, the joint is well past saving.
When something else is needed
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
- Water damage behind tiles that needs a tiler
- Sealant in an older building that needs testing for asbestos first
Not sure which it is? You can drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk and we will tell you honestly.

The process
You do not need to clear the whole room or building before we come, just the space around the work. Everything nearby is protected, and the job takes a few hours for a typical bath or shower, longer where several layers have been applied in most cases. Somewhere like Dalmally may be a longer drive, and the journey is planned ahead. Mention tracks, gates, ferries or anything else about the route.
- 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.
Getting ready for the visit
- Clear the area around the work
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before

Different surfaces, different methods
Windows & doors
A frame that keeps leaking may not be the mastic. We check the joint and tell you if it looks to be something else.
Worktops & kitchens
A loose worktop splits its sealant. That needs refixing before resealing, and we’ll tell you if we find it.
Can I do it myself?
A DIY attempt does not rule out a professional job. We remove it and do the joint properly.
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. New silicone will not bond to old, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. All the old material has to come out first.
