About our remedial sealant in Inchmagrannachan

If a joint fails again and again, something is causing it. Movement, the wrong product or a leak from somewhere else will defeat even a perfect bead. We look for the cause before we reseal. We work on expansion joints, botched or over-sealed joints and mouldy bath & shower sealant, and common reasons people get in touch are repeat leaks from the same joint and products that weren’t meant for the joint.

A bathroom in a place like Inchmagrannachan gets the same daily wear as one in a city flat. Limescale is less of a problem with Scotland’s generally soft water, but mould still takes hold in damp sealant and grout.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something isn’t right with it in that time, tell us and we will put it right.

Can I do it myself?

If you are set on DIY, put the effort into 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.

A DIY attempt doesn’t rule out a professional job. We cut it out and start again, so just mention it when you contact us.

Common problems we fix in Inchmagrannachan

Joints that move need sealant that can stretch. Flexing baths, rocking trays and building movement joints will split a rigid or thin bead.

Common reasons people contact us are:

  • Mould trapped under a layer of silicone
  • A shower that leaks however often it’s resealed
  • Worktop sealant that has shrunk and split
  • Decorators’ caulk around a bath or shower

In and around Inchmagrannachan, as anywhere, good remedial sealant starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint.

Questions to ask before you book

What we do, step by step

When we get to you, we check the joints match what you told us. If we find something unexpected, we talk it through with you first. Most jobs then take a few hours for a typical bath or shower, longer where several layers have been applied. Outside jobs in Inchmagrannachan 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.

  1. We protect the surfaces around the joint.
  2. The botched or failed sealant is cut away completely.
  3. We clean and degrease the joint and look for signs of movement or water.
  4. New sealant goes in once the joint is dry, and is tooled smooth.
  5. We give you the cure time and explain what caused the failure.

Before we arrive

  • Mention any tricky access
  • Mention any sign-in or site rules at work premises
  • For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can

Advice

Remedial sealant around Inchmagrannachan

In Scotland, private landlords have to 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. Scottish Water supplies are generally soft, so limescale is less of a problem than in hard-water areas. Mould is another matter: a bathroom that stays damp still turns sealant and grout black.

Rented homes near Dunkeld & Birnam station change hands often, and botched sealant from a previous quick fix is easier to strip out between tenants.

What the job involves on each surface

Mouldy bath & shower sealant

Where mould keeps coming back, ventilation is generally part of the cause. We’ll reseal and tell you if extraction looks to be the issue.

Movement & expansion joints

A sealant stuck to the back of the joint cannot stretch. Backing stops that, letting the sealant flex between the two faces.

Honest limits

In fairness, there are a few things sealant won’t fix:

  • A tray or bath that is cracked
  • Tiles that have come away from the wall
  • Movement from fittings that are not supported

If in doubt, send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk and we will say what we think before you book.

Surfaces we seal

  • Failed movement joints
  • Botched or over-sealed joints
  • Leaking tray & enclosure joints
  • Expansion joints
  • Shrunken worktop sealant
  • Mouldy bath & shower sealant
