Surface by surface
Mouldy bath & shower sealant
Where mould keeps coming back, ventilation is usually part of the cause. Along with resealing, we’ll mention if the room needs better ventilation.
Over-sealed & botched joints
Botched joints sometimes have damaged edges from earlier scraping. We work carefully to avoid adding to it, and tell you about any damage we find.
Remedial sealant in Easter Skeld, done properly
Decorators’ caulk in a shower, bathroom silicone on a window, a rigid filler in a movement joint will not last, however tidy it looks. Out it comes, and in goes a sealant suited to the job. We work on expansion joints, mouldy bath & shower sealant and leaking tray & enclosure joints, and people most often call us about beads that never stuck properly and mould trapped under a layer of silicone.
For a place like Easter Skeld, the job is the same as anywhere: old material out, joints cleaned and dried, and a fresh, even finish. We just plan the journey and access beforehand.
Each job carries a 12-month guarantee, whatever its size.

FAQs for Easter Skeld
Is Easter Skeld in your area for remedial sealant?
Yes. Our work covers the whole of Scotland, and Easter Skeld is part of that. You can send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk and let us know what needs doing, and we will give you a clear price.
Is there a guarantee on remedial sealant in Easter Skeld?
Every job comes with our 12-month guarantee, wherever it is. We are fully insured, and an ARBOMaster approved applicator.
Where are you based?
We work from Crawley. We cover Easter Skeld and the rest of the Shetland Islands, along with the rest of our area.
Can failed expansion joints be resealed?
Yes. If a joint has been filled with mortar or rigid filler, we rake it out where possible, then the joint is sealed properly.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes, and it often makes sense. Doing several areas at once is usually more efficient, so mention them when you ask for a quote.
Do you offer different sealant colours?
Most of the time, yes. We will explain which colours are available.
Can I do it myself?
It depends on the job. Work at height, movement joints, fire-rated gaps and large areas are best left to a professional.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
Looking after it afterwards
Aftercare is simple:
- Do not point over movement joints
- Check ceilings under showers for marks
- Air the bathroom so the sealant can dry
- Always have old sealant cut out, not covered
If we have found a cause, such as a loose tray or a leaking waste, get it fixed, or the new joint may fail again.
A split movement joint lets rain into walls and floors, and left long enough, the edges of the joint can crumble. A joint with sound edges is far easier to reseal.
Honest limits
To be straight with you, there are a few things sealant won’t fix:
- Tiles that have come away from the wall
- Leaks from a shower valve, waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
- A cracked shower tray or bath (that needs repair or replacing)
Not sure which it is? You can drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

Remedial sealant around Easter Skeld
Easter Skeld 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. 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.
If you live in an older home near Reawick Congregational Church, older homes can move a little, which is hard on rigid grout and tired sealant. Around Easter Skeld, as everywhere, remedial sealant is only as good as the preparation behind it.
Easter Skeld is in the Shetland Islands. Wherever you are in the ZE2 postcode area, we can carry out remedial sealant at your property. Our the Shetland Islands coverage runs to 63 places, and Easter Skeld is one of them.

Can I do it myself?
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions, and the work is guaranteed for a year.
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.

The process
Good joint work is mostly preparation, and we do not rush it. Every joint is cleaned and dried before new material goes in. All told, the work takes a few hours for a typical bath or shower, longer where several layers have been applied. Outdoor work around Easter Skeld depends on the weather, as sealant needs a dry surface, so an outdoor job can move if the forecast changes. Indoor work goes ahead whatever the weather.
- 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.
- 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
- Move anything stored near the joints
- Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints
- Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed
How to get a quote
Every job is quoted individually, so the first step is telling us about yours. Just send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk with the details and send pictures if you have them.

Leave it or put it right?
Ripping out a bathroom is not normally 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 once water gets behind a failed joint, damp in stone or harled walls is slow to dry out.
Some things make a job bigger or smaller: the old material and how easily it comes out, whether mould needs treating, and whether the work is at height. Your quote takes all of that into account.
