Remedial sealant for homes and businesses in Inchmarlo
Decorators’ caulk in a shower, bathroom silicone on a window, a rigid filler in a movement joint won’t last, however tidy it looks. We take it out and use a sealant made for that joint. We are often asked to deal with repeat leaks from the same joint and worktop sealant that has shrunk and split, on leaking tray & enclosure joints, shrunken worktop sealant and botched or over-sealed joints.
Being further from a city does not change the work: everything old is cut out, the joints are cleaned and dried, and new sealant or grout goes in. We just plan the journey and access beforehand.
There’s a 12-month guarantee on every job, large or small.

How it works
There isn’t much for you to do on the day. Show us the job and we’ll take it from there. The job generally takes a few hours, depending on how many layers have to come out from start to finish. Somewhere like Inchmarlo may be a longer drive, and the journey is planned ahead. Tell us about tracks, gates, a ferry crossing or anything unusual about getting there.
- We start by checking the joint for movement, leaks and the reason it failed.
- We strip the joint completely, removing any layers below.
- The joint is cleaned, treated for mould and left to dry.
- Where the joint moves, backing and a flexible sealant suited to the movement go in.
- We tool the joint and tell you about anything else that needs attention.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention any sign-in or site rules at work premises
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children
- For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can

Work for landlords, hotels and businesses
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Tell us the address, the job and how access works.
From a single let to a portfolio, the work is the same standard: old sealant fully removed, joints prepared properly and a one-year guarantee.
Can I do it myself?
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.
Some jobs are best left to a professional: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
What we’re called out for in Inchmarlo
Joint depth matters. A bead bonded on three sides, or laid too thick, cannot flex, so it tears when the joint moves. Backing rod or bond-breaker tape prevents it.
Most people get in touch after spotting something like this:
- A shower that leaks however often it’s resealed
- Thick, messy sealant smeared over tiles
- Gaps opening along the back of the worktop
- Sealant applied over old sealant that has lifted
In and around Inchmarlo, as anywhere, good remedial sealant starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint.

What remedial sealant looks like in Inchmarlo
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. Private landlords in Scotland must be registered and meet the Repairing Standard, which covers keeping fixtures and fittings in a reasonable state of repair. Failed sealant around a bath or shower is worth sorting between tenancies.
If you look after a building such as Banchory Academy, 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.

How to look after the new joints
Once the sealant has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Find out why the sealant failed first
- Report a tray that rocks or a worktop that lifts
- Don’t add new sealant on top of old
- Act on a lifting corner right away
Keep an eye on the joint at first, especially if movement was the problem. If anything changes, just send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk.
Leaks through failed sealant grow over time. Each use pushes more water behind the bead, into floors, walls or ceilings. Sorting it early limits the damage.
Different surfaces, different methods
Leaking trays & enclosures
A cracked tray, failed valve or leaking waste needs a different fix. We say so rather than reseal.
Worktops & kitchens
Shrunken worktop sealant leaves a gap that lets water into the back edge. It’s cut out, degreased and resealed colour-matched to the worktop.
