DIY versus a professional finish
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the 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.
Remedial sealant in Dunollie
The wrong product in the wrong joint won’t last, however tidy it looks. Out it comes, and in goes a sealant suited to the job. Typical jobs include leaks that keep coming back after resealing and beads that never stuck properly, on mouldy bath & shower sealant, botched or over-sealed joints and failed movement joints.
Being further from a city does not change the work: everything old is cut out, the joints are cleaned and dried, and new sealant or grout goes in. We just plan the journey and access beforehand.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you’re covered after we have gone.

- The product the joint needs

The process
When we arrive, we start by going over the job with you, so there are no surprises. Surfaces next to the work are protected before any work begins. The work generally takes a few hours for most joints, depending on how much old sealant has to come out. Somewhere like Dunollie may be a longer drive, and the journey is planned ahead. Mention tracks, gates, ferries or anything else about the route.
- Surrounding tiles, trays and frames are protected first.
- The botched or failed sealant is cut away completely.
- 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.
- You get the cure time and our view on why the joint failed.
Before we arrive
- Clear the area around the work
- Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints
- Let us know about stairs, lifts or work at height
Getting a quote
It all starts with a short chat. Describe the problem, the location and the size of the job. Whenever you’re ready, drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk.
Related advice
Why it’s worth doing now in Dunollie
A joint that has failed twice will fail again unless the cause is dealt with. Finding it, whether movement, water from elsewhere or an unsuitable product, ends the cycle. In an older home around Dunollie, damp from a failed joint can get into timber and plaster, which is a far bigger job than the sealant.
Some things make a job bigger or smaller: how much old sealant there is and how stubborn it is, whether mould needs treating, and whether the work is at height. Your quote takes all of that into account.
What you get with us
- Neat joints and a tidy finish
- Homes, businesses and hotels
- Approved under the ARBOMaster scheme
- Any old sealant cut out fully, not covered over

Aftercare tips
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Never seal over old silicone
- Never fill a movement joint with mortar or grout
- Find out why the sealant failed first
- Run the fan after every shower
Keep the room ventilated: use the extractor or open a window after showering.
A split movement joint lets rain into walls and floors, and the longer it’s left, the more the joint edges break down. Resealing while the edges are sound is simpler.
Remedial sealant around Dunollie
Dunollie is within about 1 mile of the coast. Near the coast, holiday lets and guest houses can see bathrooms used by one guest after another, 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.
For an older house near a landmark such as Christ Church Dunollie, walls and floors in older homes can move, and sealant and grout show it first. Rented homes near Oban station change hands often, and a joint that keeps failing is best fixed properly while the property is empty.

Different surfaces, different methods
Movement & expansion joints
Joints filled with mortar, grout or rigid filler can’t move. We rake that out where it can be removed and seal with a flexible product.
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.
What we’re called out for in Dunollie
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, can’t stretch, so it tears when the joint moves. Backing rod or bond-breaker tape prevents it.
If you can see any of these, it’s time to have the joints looked at:
- A shower that leaks however often it’s resealed
- Movement joints that have split or pulled away
- Sealant peeling off a dusty or damp surface
- Gaps opening along the back of the worktop
If you look after a building such as Oban High School, we reseal washrooms and kitchens in schools and businesses as well as homes.
Before you book anyone
- When the joint can take water or movement
- How hidden problems are handled
- Which colour the sealant will be
- What insurance they hold
