How the visit works
At the end, we look at the finished work together and explain the cure time. The work normally takes a few hours for a typical bath or shower, longer where several layers have been applied, depending on the size of the job. For a place like Fort Augustus, longer drives are planned in advance. Mention tracks, gates, ferries or anything else about the route.
- First we work out whether the problem is the sealant, movement or a leak.
- Each layer is cut out and the residue cleaned off.
- We treat any mould and dry the joint thoroughly.
- The right product goes in, with backing where the joint moves.
- We finish neatly and point out anything that needs another trade.
Preparing for the visit
- Clear the area around the work
- Mention any sign-in or site rules at work premises
- Let us know if you’ve seen damp or leaks

Remedial sealant in Fort Augustus, done properly
If a joint has been resealed and is leaking again, it’s worth a proper look. Send photos when you send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk, and say how long ago it was last done. We work on mouldy bath & shower sealant, shrunken worktop sealant and expansion joints, and the jobs we see most are repeat leaks from the same joint and products that weren’t meant for the joint.
Being further from a city doesn’t 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.
Our work is backed for twelve months, in Fort Augustus and everywhere else we cover.

What else we do in Fort Augustus
Why act early in Fort Augustus
DIY removal often leaves scratches and a film of residue, and any film left behind stops new sealant sticking. Careful removal is most of a remedial job. In a place like Fort Augustus, small leaks are easy to put off, but water behind a failed seal does the most damage when nobody’s watching.
What you pay reflects the work, not a rough estimate. That’s why we ask about the job first.
What you get with us
- Every job guaranteed for a year
- Domestic, commercial and hotel work
- Sealant colour chosen to suit
- Anti-fungal silicone where joints get wet
Take a look at our cost guide and what customers say.
What we cannot put right
We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what sealant can’t fix:
- Old mastic in a building from before 2000 that should be checked for asbestos before it’s disturbed
- Movement from fittings that are not supported
- A leaking trap, valve or supply pipe
Not sure which it is? You can drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk and we will tell you honestly before you book.

Do you need remedial sealant in Fort Augustus?
Water from somewhere else can ruin a good seal. A slow leak behind the tiles soaks the joint from the back, and the sealant lifts or goes mouldy from underneath.
The most common problems we see are:
- Kitchen joints letting water behind the worktop
- Caulk or the wrong sealant used in a wet area
- A shower that leaks however often it’s resealed
- Floor or wall movement joints that have failed
Around Fort Augustus, as everywhere, remedial sealant is only as good as the preparation behind it.

Bathrooms and kitchens in Fort Augustus
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. Private landlords in Scotland must be registered and 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.
Schools such as Kilchuimen Academy are buildings too, and washroom and kitchen sealant there needs the same care as at home, and schools and businesses are part of our work as well as homes.

Quotes for remedial sealant in Fort Augustus
We do not publish a price list, because jobs vary so much. The quote depends on:
- Whether old sealant or filler has to be cut out
- How easy the joints are to reach
- How many rooms, windows or areas are involved
- The type of sealant required
Instead of a standard rate, we look at what your job involves: the amount of work, the old material and the access. You will know the price before we begin.
Asking for a quote
Before you ask for a quote, have a think about:
- Where the job is, and your postcode

- Whether it’s a home or a business
- What the problem is, such as mould, gaps, leaks or cracking
The more we know about the job, the more useful the quote. Tell us where the job is, what’s wrong and how much there is, and email photos if that is easy.
Different surfaces, different methods
Movement & expansion joints
Bonding on three sides is a common reason movement joints tear. Backing stops that, letting the sealant flex between the two faces.
Windows & doors
Failed frame mastic is often hard, cracked and in several layers. We remove it all and clean back to sound surfaces.
Should I try it myself first?
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions, then guaranteed for a year.
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, 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.
Fort Augustus questions
What guarantee comes with remedial sealant in Fort Augustus?
All our work, in Fort Augustus and everywhere else, comes with a 12-month guarantee. We’re fully insured, and an ARBOMaster approved applicator.
Can you do remedial sealant in Fort Augustus?
Yes. Our work covers the whole of Scotland, and Fort Augustus is part of that. Just drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk with a few details of the job.
Can landlords and businesses book you?
Yes, we do. We work in homes, commercial premises and hotels.
My shower still leaks after a reseal. Can you sort it?
Yes, generally. First we check whether the leak is the sealant at all, then strip and reseal the joints.
What happens if the problem is the tray or the plumbing?
That’s why we look for the cause first. If we find the leak is elsewhere, we tell you before going further.
Should I try DIY first?
It depends on the job. High-level, external movement and fire-rated joints are professional jobs.
Will the old sealant be removed?
Always. Sealing over the old bead is the commonest cause of early failure, and it’s something we never do.
Can you reseal a split movement joint?
Yes. Where mortar or filler has been used instead of sealant, it’s removed where it can be, then the joint is sealed properly.
