DIY sealant or a professional job?
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
How we handle remedial sealant in Glengolly
Remedial work is what we do when sealant has failed or been done badly. Silicone laid over silicone, smears across tiles, the wrong product in a moving joint or mould trapped underneath all have to come out before the joint can be done properly. We are often asked to deal with sealant that came away because the surface wasn’t prepared and torn expansion joints, on shrunken worktop sealant, mouldy bath & shower sealant and leaking tray & enclosure joints.
For a place like Glengolly, 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.
A 12-month guarantee comes as standard, so you’re covered after we have gone.

Questions from Glengolly
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Thurso station?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for. Just send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk with the address and what needs doing, and we’ll give you a clear price.
Is Glengolly in your area for remedial sealant?
Yes. Our work covers the whole of Scotland, and Glengolly is part of that. Just email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk with a few details of the job.
Do you hold any approvals?
Yes. We are an ARBOMaster approved applicator.
What should I tell you?
The location, the problem and the rough size of the job. If you can, email a few pictures.
Can you fix a reseal that hasn’t worked?
Yes. We check it’s the sealant and not the tray, valve or waste, then strip and reseal the joints.
Can you work on commercial sites?
Yes, regularly. Larger jobs can be planned room by room or area by area.
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, while a short indoor joint may be within reach.
How much does remedial sealant cost in Glengolly?
Size, access and the old material all affect the cost. Call for a quick quote.
Aftercare tips
Joint life depends on how it’s used and looked after. Here’s what we suggest:
- Keep an eye on the ceiling below the bathroom
- Air the bathroom so the sealant can dry
- Don’t wait for a small gap to become a leak
- Have loose fittings fixed before resealing
Go easy on the new sealant: no scraping, scouring pads or harsh chemicals.
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.
Work for landlords, hotels and businesses
Landlords and letting agents in Glengolly can book us as well as homeowners. Resealing between tenancies keeps a property looking cared for before the next move-in.
Failed sealant is one of the commonest items on a check-out report, and it’s quick to put right between tenancies. We can quote for more than one property at once.
What the job involves on each surface
Worktops & kitchens
Kitchen joints often have grease and cleaning residue deep in them, so we spend extra time cleaning before resealing.
Windows & doors
Frames resealed over the top end up with hard, layered mastic. All of it is cut out and the frame and wall cleaned.
Why act early in Glengolly
Leaks that are left keep doing damage out of sight: wet floors, stained ceilings and swollen worktops. Dealing with the joint now is a small job by comparison. Around Glengolly, water from a failed joint in an older stone home can soak into timber and plaster.
Leaving a failed joint normally makes the job bigger, not smaller, because water and mould keep working on it. If you are unsure, drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk and we will give you an honest view and a quote.

Bathrooms and kitchens in Glengolly
Glengolly is close to the coast. Coastal homes, holiday lets and guest houses can see heavy bathroom use in busy months, and sealant and grout that work that hard wear out sooner. 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.
Managing a site like Thurso High School? Then 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. For landlords with property near Thurso station, botched sealant from a previous quick fix is easier to strip out between tenants.
