Remedial sealant in Geirinis, done properly
Not every leak is a sealant leak. A cracked tray, a failed shower valve or a leaking waste can look just the same. If that is what we find, we’ll tell you rather than reseal something that won’t fix it. If you have caulk or the wrong sealant used in a wet area and a shower that leaks however often it’s resealed, we can put it right, on leaking tray & enclosure joints, shrunken worktop sealant and botched or over-sealed joints alike.
For a place like Geirinis, the job is the same as anywhere: old material out, joints cleaned and dried, and a fresh, even finish. The journey and access are simply planned in advance.
Each job carries a 12-month guarantee, large or small.

The process
There isn’t much for you to do on the day. Show us the job and we’ll take it from there. The job generally takes a few hours for most joints, depending on how much old sealant has to come out, including the tidy-up. For a place like Geirinis, longer drives are planned in advance. Tell us about tracks, gates, a ferry crossing or anything unusual about getting there.
- We look at how the sealant has failed and check for movement or a leak path.
- All the old sealant comes out, including any layers underneath.
- Next, any mould is treated and the joint dried.
- Where the joint moves, backing and a flexible sealant suited to the movement go in.
- We tool the joint and tell you about anything else that needs attention.
Preparing for the visit
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive
- Tell us about any previous sealing or DIY attempts
- Mention any tricky access

Advice
Questions from Geirinis
Is Geirinis within the area you cover?
Yes. Geirinis is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. Our work covers the whole of Scotland, including the islands, where work is planned around ferry crossings. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
What guarantee comes with remedial sealant in Geirinis?
All our work, in Geirinis and everywhere else, comes with a 12-month guarantee. We are fully insured, and an ARBOMaster approved applicator.
Can you remove sealant that is been put over old sealant?
Yes. We cut out all the layers and clean off the film, then the joint is resealed once.
What if resealing will not fix my leak?
We check for that before we reseal. If the fault is elsewhere, you’ll know before any work is done.
Are you an approved applicator?
Yes. We hold ARBOMaster approved applicator status.
Is there any odour?
That depends on the sealant. Some smell for a while, some hardly at all, and any smell fades as they cure.
Is it worth trying it myself?
You can, for simple jobs. The key is preparation: remove all the old material and work on a clean, dry joint. We can always put it right if it fails.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
Different surfaces, different methods
Movement & expansion joints
A movement joint must be able to stretch. Failed sealant is cut out, backing rod or tape is fitted and the joint resealed.
Over-sealed & botched joints
Previous removal attempts can leave scratches or gouges. We take care not to make it worse, and point out any existing damage.
Why act early in Geirinis
Hidden water does the most damage: soaked floorboards, ceiling stains below and blown plaster. By comparison, sorting the joint is quick. Out of town in Scotland, exposed walls take a lot of weather, and once water gets behind a failed joint, damp in stone or harled walls is slow to dry out.
What you pay reflects the work, not a rough estimate. That is why we ask a few questions first and agree the price before starting.
Why us?
- White, clear, grey or another colour, product permitting
- An ARBOMaster approved applicator
- We never seal over old sealant
- Neat joints and a tidy finish

Bathrooms and kitchens in Geirinis
Geirinis is within about 1 mile of the coast. Coastal homes, holiday lets and guest houses can see heavy bathroom use in busy months, which wears sealant and grout out faster than in a quiet home. 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.
For jobs in and around Geirinis, choosing the right material for each joint is as important as a tidy finish.

In hotels, rooms out of use cost money, so we plan the work room by room. We’ve worked in hotels as well as homes and businesses.
Looking after it afterwards
Aftercare is simple:
- Look for stains below bathrooms now and then
- Don’t add new sealant on top of old
- Ask why a joint failed before redoing it
- Keep movement joints clear of mortar and paint
Watch the joint over the first few weeks, particularly where the original failure was caused by movement. If anything changes, just drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk.
A failing joint rarely gets better on its own. Every shower or downpour sends more water through, into floors, walls or ceilings. Sorting it early limits the damage.
DIY sealant or a professional job?
If you are set on DIY, put the effort into preparation: take out all the old sealant, make sure the joint is clean and dry, and give it the full cure time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still put it right.
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that is fine. We remove it and do the joint properly, so tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
What we’re called out for in Geirinis
Silicone only bonds to surfaces that are clean and dry. Residue, moisture or dust left in the joint weaken the bond, and the joint starts to come away early.
If you can see any of these, it’s time to have the joints looked at:
- Decorators’ caulk around a bath or shower
- Beads that never stuck properly
- Wide, uneven beads that look worse than the old ones
- A shower that leaks however often it’s resealed
Around Geirinis, as everywhere, remedial sealant is only as good as the preparation behind it.
