Inbhir Aora: your questions answered
Will you come out to Inbhir Aora?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Our work covers the whole of Scotland. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
Do you take on hotel work around Inbhir Aora?
Yes, hotels and guest houses are among the places we work. A room-by-room programme keeps most rooms in use while the work goes on.
Can I do it myself?
For a simple, easy-to-reach joint, a careful DIYer can do a reasonable job. The usual mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using too much.
My shower still leaks after a reseal. Can you sort it?
Yes. First we check whether the leak is the sealant at all, then strip and reseal the joints.
Which products do you use?
Quality sealants from brands including Arbo and Everbuild, chosen to suit the joint. We explain the product when we quote.
Do you fix expansion and movement joints?
Yes. If a joint has been filled with mortar or rigid filler, we rake it out where possible, then the joint is sealed properly.
Where are you based?
Mr Mastic is based in Crawley. We cover Inbhir Aora and the rest of Argyll and Bute.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
How to look after the new joints
A little care helps the new joints last. We recommend:
- Do not point over movement joints
- Do not add new sealant on top of old
- Act on a lifting corner right away
- Keep the room well ventilated
Ventilation keeps mould away from the new bead: use the extractor or open a window after showering.
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.

DIY sealant or a professional job?
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. New silicone won’t bond to old, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. Everything old must be removed first.
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, such as a straightforward joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
Different surfaces, different methods
Over-sealed & botched joints
A botched joint can hide two or three layers of sealant, and silicone residue is cleaned off the tiles too. New sealant needs a fully clean surface.
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.
Bathrooms and kitchens in Inbhir Aora
Inbhir Aora is close to the coast. Near the coast, holiday lets and guest houses can see bathrooms used by one guest after another, and sealant and grout that work that hard wear out sooner. Private landlords in Scotland must be registered and meet the Repairing Standard, which covers keeping fixtures and fittings in a reasonable state of repair. Tired, leaking sealant is worth putting right before a new tenant moves in.
Homes close to St. Malieu Hall include some older properties, and walls and floors in older homes can move, and sealant and grout show it first. In and around Inbhir Aora, as anywhere, good remedial sealant starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint.

What happens if it’s left?
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 removal is most of a remedial job. 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.
Combining jobs into one visit generally makes better use of the time than several visits, so tell us about everything that needs sealing. We will give you a clear price for the lot.

The process
We keep the work tidy and contained to the joints we are treating, so you can carry on as normal. Expect the work to take a few hours, depending on how many layers have to come out. Outside jobs in Inbhir Aora 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. Indoor work goes ahead whatever the weather.
- The failure is looked at first, so we know whether it’s sealant, movement or water from elsewhere.
- Each layer is cut out and the residue cleaned off.
- We treat any mould and dry the joint thoroughly.
- The right product goes in, with backing where the joint moves.
- We finish neatly and point out anything that needs another trade.
How to prepare
- Mention any tricky access
- Mention any parking rules near the property
- Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work
