Remedial sealant for homes and businesses in Hill of Fearn
Remedial jobs in Hill of Fearn generally fall into a few patterns: over-sealed joints, hidden mould, repeat leaks and split movement joints. Each is stripped back and done again properly. Common call-outs are for gaps opening along the back of the worktop and decorators’ caulk around a bath or shower, across shrunken worktop sealant, leaking tray & enclosure joints and mouldy bath & shower sealant.
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 usually the first signs.

What we do, step by step
Before we leave, we go over the finished joints with you and explain the cure time. The visit itself usually takes a few hours, depending on how many layers have to come out, depending on the amount of work. For a place like Hill of Fearn, 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.
- Old beads and residue are removed down to clean surfaces.
- We treat any mould and dry the joint thoroughly.
- We reseal with a product suited to the joint, backed where needed.
- The joint is tooled and you are told about anything else we found.

Different surfaces, different methods
Worktops & kitchens
Old kitchen sealant pulls back from the wall over time. It’s cut out, degreased and resealed colour-matched to the worktop.
Over-sealed & botched joints
Thick, smeared sealant looks messy and hides problems. Taking it back shows what’s underneath.
DIY versus a professional finish
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that’s fine. We remove it and do the joint properly, so tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
If you do try it yourself, take your time over the preparation: remove every trace of old sealant, clean and dry the joint, and follow the product’s cure time. If it fails, we can still redo it.
Looking after it afterwards
Simple care keeps the joints in good condition. Our advice:
- Look for stains below bathrooms now and then
- Use a soft cloth, not a scourer, on silicone
- Run the fan after every shower
- Deal with small splits early
Watch the joint over the first few weeks, especially if movement was the problem. Should anything change, email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk.
Movement joints that have split let water into the structure, and left long enough, the edges of the joint can crumble. A joint with sound edges is far easier to reseal.
