- If it’s domestic, commercial or a hotel

Remedial sealant in Glenelg
Not every leak is a sealant leak. Cracked trays, leaking wastes and faulty valves often look like a sealant problem. If that’s what we find, we will tell you rather than reseal something that will not fix it. We work on botched or over-sealed joints, shrunken worktop sealant and expansion joints, and people most often call us about thick, messy sealant smeared over tiles and gaps opening along the back of the worktop.
In and around a place like Glenelg, homes range from older stone-built properties to newer houses. Where a building moves, cracked grout and split sealant are generally the first signs.
All of our work is guaranteed for twelve months, in Glenelg and everywhere else we cover.

What sealant work can’t fix
To be straight with you, there are a few things sealant will not fix:
- Leaks from a shower valve, waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
- Old mastic in a building from before 2000 that should be checked for asbestos before it’s disturbed
- Cracks in the fitting rather than the joint
If in doubt, email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk and we will say what we think.

The process
We keep the work tidy and contained to the joints we are treating. Expect the work to take a few hours for most joints, depending on how much old sealant has to come out, and we tell you how long to leave it before we go. Around Glenelg, distance and access matter more than parking. Let us know how to find you and how to reach the joints, and the visit is planned around that.
- Surrounding tiles, trays and frames are protected first.
- Every layer of failed sealant is stripped out.
- 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.
Getting ready for the visit
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive
- For business premises, tell us about site rules or sign-in
- Let us know about stairs, lifts or work at height
Getting a quote
Getting a quote is simple: let us know the job and the location. A few photos by email make the job easier to understand, and we will take it from there.
Related advice
How the job changes by surface
Worktops & kitchens
Kitchen joints often have grease and cleaning residue deep in them, so cleaning takes longer than in a bathroom before resealing.
Leaking trays & enclosures
Repeat shower leaks often come from a tray that flexes or an enclosure sealed in the wrong place. Both are checked before we reseal.
Glenelg: your questions answered
Do you cover smaller places like Glenelg?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. We work across all of Scotland. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
Is Glenelg in your area for remedial sealant?
Yes, Glenelg is within the area we cover. We work across all of Scotland. Just drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk with a few details of the job, and we will send you a clear quote.
Someone sealed over the old bead. Can you fix it?
Yes. It’s slower than a standard reseal, because every layer has to come out cleanly, but it’s the only way the new joint will last.
How long does remedial resealing take?
A little longer than a standard reseal. For most joints, it’s a few hours, and we confirm the time with your quote.
Will the old sealant be removed?
Yes. All of the old material is cut out and the joint cleaned before applying anything new.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. As well as householders, we work for landlords, agents, businesses and hotels in Glenelg.
Can you quote for more than one area?
Yes, and it often makes sense. Combining jobs makes good use of the visit, so mention them when you ask for a quote.
Do I have to be there?
For indoor joints, yes, someone needs to let us in. Once we’ve agreed the job, you do not need to watch us work.
Glenelg homes and their sealant
Glenelg 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. Failed sealant around a bath or shower is worth sorting between tenancies.
If you look after a building such as Bernera School, its toilets, changing areas and kitchens need their sealant renewed like any other building’s. Around Glenelg, as everywhere, remedial sealant is only as good as the preparation behind it.

Why it’s worth doing now in Glenelg
DIY removal often leaves scratches and a film of residue, and the residue left behind stops the next bead bonding. Careful stripping is where most of our time goes. When the nearest tradesperson is a drive away, it’s tempting to leave a small leak, but water behind a failed seal does the most damage when nobody’s watching.
Leaving a failed joint normally makes the job bigger, not smaller, because water and mould keep working on it. If you are not sure whether it needs doing, email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk for an honest opinion and a quote.
Why us?
- We leave the area clean and tidy
- Anti-fungal sanitary silicone in wet areas

How to look after the new joints
To keep the joints looking good and working properly:
- Keep movement joints clear of mortar and paint
- Never seal over old silicone
- Clean sealant with mild products only
- Report a tray that rocks or a worktop that lifts
Where we’ve pointed out another fault, have it put right, because the new sealant can’t hold back a problem underneath.
If a joint has failed more than once, stop resealing it. Get the cause found first, or the next bead will go the same way.
