FAQs for Gorthleck
What guarantee comes with remedial sealant in Gorthleck?
All our work, in Gorthleck and everywhere else, comes with a 12-month guarantee. We’re fully insured, and an ARBOMaster approved applicator.
Do you cover smaller places like Gorthleck?
Yes. Gorthleck is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. We work across all of Scotland. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
What sealant do you use?
It depends on the joint: sanitary silicone where it gets wet, and sealants suited to movement or weather elsewhere. We use products from Arbo and Everbuild.
Do you do commercial work?
Yes, regularly. We can plan bigger jobs in stages to suit the site.
What if the leak is not the sealant?
In that case, we tell you what we have found. A plumber or fitter may be needed before any new sealant goes on.
Are you an approved applicator?
Yes. We’re ARBOMaster approved, the scheme for applicators of Arbo sealants.
Is there any odour?
There can be a smell while the sealant cures. Ventilation helps.
Will the old sealant be removed?
Always. Sealing over old sealant is the main reason resealing fails early, so we never do it.
How we handle remedial sealant in Gorthleck
Getting old sealant out properly is slow, careful work. Every layer is cut out, the residue cleaned off and the joint degreased, without scratching tiles, trays or frames. Only then can new sealant bond. If you have sealant peeling off a dusty or damp surface and smears and lumps from a botched reseal, we can help, whatever the surface.
Across smaller places in Scotland, homes range from stone and harled cottages to newer houses. Where a building moves, cracked grout and split sealant are generally the first signs.
We stand behind the work with a 12-month guarantee, so you’re not left on your own once the job is done.

Why it’s worth doing now in Gorthleck
It’s easy to scratch acrylic, enamel or an uPVC frame cutting out old sealant, and the residue left behind stops the next bead bonding. Careful stripping is where most of our time goes. Exposed walls in smaller Scottish places take a lot of wind and rain, and once water gets behind a failed joint, damp in stone or harled walls is slow to dry out.
A failed joint rarely gets cheaper to fix by waiting, because water and mould keep working on it. If you are not sure whether it needs doing, send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk for an honest opinion and a quote.

What we can’t put right
Sealant is not the answer to every problem, and we’ll tell you before any work starts. It won’t solve:
- Cracks in the fitting rather than the joint
- Old mastic in a building from before 2000 that should be checked for asbestos before it’s disturbed
- Leaks from a shower valve, waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
If in doubt, send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk and we’ll say what we think before you book.
What we seal
- Botched or over-sealed joints
- Expansion joints
- Leaking tray & enclosure joints
- Shrunken worktop sealant
- Failed movement joints
- Mouldy bath & shower sealant

What else we do in Gorthleck
Work for landlords, hotels and businesses
Housing providers, facilities teams and property managers book us too in Gorthleck and across Highland. We can quote a run of properties together, and we’re fully insured.
Mouldy or split sealant often shows up at the end of a tenancy, and it’s quick to put right between tenancies. Several properties can be quoted together.
How to look after the new joints
Good habits help new joints last longer. A few tips:
- Find out why the sealant failed first
- Always have old sealant cut out, not covered
- Keep bleach and abrasives off the bead
- Keep the room well ventilated
Watch the joint over the first few weeks, particularly where the original failure was caused by movement. If anything changes, just send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk.
A failing joint rarely gets better on its own. Each use pushes more water behind the bead, into floors, walls or ceilings. Sorting it early limits the damage.
How the visit works
Every visit runs the same way: we look at the joints together, protect the area around them, do the work and clear up. It normally takes a few hours for most joints, depending on how much old sealant has to come out. Outside jobs in Gorthleck need a dry day, because sealant won’t bond to a wet joint, so external jobs may need to move if the day turns wet. Work indoors is not affected.
- The failure is looked at first, so we know whether it’s sealant, movement or water from elsewhere.
- Old beads and residue are removed down to clean surfaces.
- Mould is treated and the joint dried.
- The right product goes in, with backing where the joint moves.
- The joint is tooled and you are told about anything else we found.
How to prepare
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive
- Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints
- On commercial sites, let us know about site rules

DIY sealant or a professional job?
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and does not move well, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions, then guaranteed for a year.
What the job involves on each surface
Leaking trays & enclosures
If the tray is cracked, or the leak is from the valve or waste, sealant will not fix it. We’ll tell you what we find.
Mouldy bath & shower sealant
Mould can sit behind the silicone, not just in it. We treat the exposed joint once the bead is out.
Bathrooms and kitchens in Gorthleck
In Scotland, private landlords have to 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. Scotland’s water is generally soft, so sealant and grout see less limescale than in much of England. Mould is another matter: a bathroom that stays damp still turns sealant and grout black.
Around Gorthleck, as everywhere, remedial sealant is only as good as the preparation behind it. Whether the job is in Gorthleck itself or nearby, the right material for each joint matters as much as a neat finish.
