Common questions in Galltair
Is there a guarantee on remedial sealant in Galltair?
All our work, in Galltair and everywhere else, comes with a 12-month guarantee. We’re fully insured, and an ARBOMaster approved applicator.
Do you cover Galltair for remedial sealant?
Yes. Our work covers the whole of Scotland, and Galltair is part of that. You can send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk and let us know what needs doing.
Can you take off two layers of silicone?
Yes. We remove every layer; new silicone does not bond to old silicone, which is why over-sealing fails.
Can you match the sealant colour?
We will suggest a colour to suit the surroundings, from white and clear to greys and other shades. The choice depends on the product the joint needs.
Can you remove old sealant without damaging the bath?
Yes, with care. The old bead is cut and lifted with tools that suit the surface, then clean off the residue. We point out any damage that’s already there.
What sealant do you use?
Each joint gets the product that suits it. Movement, water and weather all affect the choice, and we’ll tell you what we are using.
Can you work on commercial sites?
Yes. We work in offices, washrooms, hotels and other commercial premises. Working times can be discussed when we quote.
Do I have to be there?
If the work is inside, we need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
About our remedial sealant in Galltair
Some sealant jobs are not a simple reseal, because someone has already had a go. Silicone laid over silicone, smears across tiles, the wrong product in a moving joint or mould trapped underneath all need stripping out. Common call-outs are for over-sealed joints coming away and kitchen joints letting water behind the worktop, on shrunken worktop sealant, botched or over-sealed joints and mouldy bath & shower sealant.
A bathroom in a place like Galltair gets the same daily wear as one in a city flat. Limescale is less of a problem with Scotland’s generally soft water, but mould still takes hold in damp sealant and grout.
All our work comes with a 12-month guarantee.

Common problems we fix in Galltair
Products get mixed up: acrylic caulk in a wet area, a general-purpose sealant on a moving joint, or an acetoxy silicone on natural stone or some metals. Each fails in its own way.
People usually contact us when they notice one of these:
- Beads that never stuck properly
- Torn expansion joints
- Dark patches showing through the sealant
- Leaks that keep coming back after resealing
In and around Galltair, as anywhere, good remedial sealant starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint.

- What preparation is included
- Whether all the old sealant comes out first
- When the joint can take water or movement
How it works
Most of a good job is in the preparation, and we do not rush it. Every joint is cleaned and dried before new material goes in. In total, it usually takes a few hours for a typical bath or shower, longer where several layers have been applied. For a place like Galltair, longer drives are planned in advance. Tell us about tracks, gates, a ferry crossing or anything unusual about getting there.
- The failure is looked at first, so we know whether it’s sealant, movement or water from elsewhere.
- Each layer is cut out and the residue cleaned off.
- Mould is treated and the joint dried.
- 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
- Move anything stored near the joints
- Keep children and pets away from the work area
- Let us know if you’ve seen damp or leaks

Quotes for remedial sealant in Galltair
There’s no set price list, because jobs vary so much. What we look at:
- Whether old sealant or filler has to be cut out
- The amount of work
- When we can work, for business premises
- How easy the joints are to reach
Instead of a standard rate, we look at what your job involves: the amount of work, the old material and the access. The price is agreed before we begin.
What to tell us for a quote
When you contact us, it’s useful to know:
- Any access issues, like height or stairs
- Photos by email, if that’s easy
- Whether it’s a home or a business
- Where the job is, and your postcode
Quotes start with a quick conversation. Describe the problem, the location and the size of the job, and we’ll explain how we’d tackle it. Whenever you are ready, drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk.
Keeping the joints in good condition
No joint lasts for ever, but care makes a real difference. A few tips:
- Keep movement joints clear of mortar and paint
- Keep the room well ventilated
- Keep bleach and abrasives off the bead
- Check trays and worktops don’t move
Don’t let anyone seal over it later. New silicone doesn’t bond to old, so the old bead should always come out first.
Do not keep resealing the same joint. Have someone find out why, otherwise the next attempt will fail too.
What happens if it’s left?
Adding more sealant is the usual quick fix, and it rarely works. It cannot bond to what’s underneath, so the leak carries on and there’s now more to remove. In a place like Galltair, small leaks are easy to put off, but water behind a failed seal does the most damage when nobody’s watching.
There are no prices on our website, because the cost depends so much on the job itself. Call for a quick quote and we’ll talk you through it.

Different surfaces, different methods
Mouldy bath & shower sealant
Where mould keeps coming back, ventilation is generally part of the cause. We will reseal and tell you if extraction looks to be the issue.
Movement & expansion joints
Some movement joints have been filled with mortar or grout. Where it can be raked out, we replace it with flexible sealant.
