Remedial sealant in Inver
Two decades of sealant work means we recognise most failures quickly. We are fully insured ARBOMaster approved applicators, and remedial work carries our one-year guarantee. We work on failed movement joints, mouldy bath & shower sealant and expansion joints, and common reasons people get in touch are wide, uneven beads that look worse than the old ones and a second bead peeling off the first.
Being further from a city does not change the work: old material out, joints cleaned and dried, and a fresh, even finish. We just plan the journey and access beforehand.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

How the job changes by surface
Mouldy bath & shower sealant
Mould that has grown into silicone does not clean out for good. All of it comes out, and the joint is treated and dried ahead of a new anti-fungal bead.
Over-sealed & botched joints
Every layer has to come out, including the smears and film on surrounding tiles. Only a clean joint will take a new bead.

Looking after it afterwards
Simple care keeps the joints in good condition. Our advice:
- Clean sealant with mild products only
- Don’t wait for a small gap to become a leak
- Report a tray that rocks or a worktop that lifts
- Get the cause of a repeat leak found before resealing
If we’ve found a cause, such as a loose tray or a leaking waste, get it fixed, because the new sealant can’t hold back a problem underneath.
Warning signs: sealant lifting at the ends, a second bead visible on top of the first, black mould under the silicone, or stains below a bathroom. Any of them means it’s time for remedial work.
Remedial sealant in Inver: local notes
Inver is within about 1 mile of the coast. Near the coast, holiday lets and guest houses can see bathrooms used by one guest after another, which wears sealant and grout out faster than in a quiet home. 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 Inver, as everywhere, remedial sealant is only as good as the preparation behind it.
Inver is about 16 miles north of Nairn, in Highland. Wherever you are in the IV20 postcode area, we can carry out remedial sealant at your property. Inver is one of 253 places in Highland where we work for remedial sealant.

What happens if it’s left?
Ripping out a bathroom isn’t generally needed. When the fittings are sound, stripping and resealing the joints is often enough. If they’re not, we’ll tell you. In a place like Inver, small leaks are easy to put off, but water through a failed joint keeps working away until it’s fixed.
There are no prices on our website, because each job is priced on what it involves. Call for a quick quote.

Inver questions
Will you come out to Inver?
Yes, Inver is covered. We work across all of Scotland, from towns to the smallest places. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
I let a flat near Fearn station. Can you help?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. You can send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk with the address and a few details, and we will give you a fixed price before we start.
Can you match the sealant colour?
Yes. Sealants come in white, clear, grey and other colours for many products, and we will agree it with you first.
Can old silicone be taken off without scratching the tiles?
Yes. We avoid heavy scraping and use the right cleaner for each surface, so the new sealant bonds cleanly.
Do you work for hotels and businesses?
Yes. Commercial and hotel work is a large part of what we do. Working times can be discussed when we quote.
Is it worth trying it myself?
For a simple, easy-to-reach joint, a careful DIYer can do a reasonable job. Most DIY failures come from sealing over old material, wet joints or too much sealant.
Do you remove the old sealant?
Always. Sealing over old sealant is the main reason resealing fails early, and it’s something we never do.
Does someone need to be in?
For indoor joints, yes, someone needs to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Do you need remedial sealant in Inver?
Water from somewhere else can ruin a good seal. A leaking valve, a failed waste or cracked grout feeds water behind the bead, and the sealant lifts or goes mouldy from underneath.
People usually contact us after spotting one of these:
- Worktop sealant that has shrunk and split
- Leaks that keep coming back after resealing
- Black mould underneath the bead
- Sealant that came away because the surface wasn’t prepared
If you let a flat or house near Fearn station, a joint that keeps failing is best fixed properly while the property is empty.
Questions to ask before booking
- How the joint is cleaned and prepared
- When the joint can take water or movement
- What happens if the job turns out different
- Whether they seal over old material or remove it
What happens on the day
You don’t need to clear the whole room or building, just the space around the work. Everything nearby is protected, and the work takes a few hours, depending on how many layers have to come out in most cases. Around Inver, distance and access matter more than parking. Let us know how to find you and how to reach the joints.
- First we work out whether the problem is the sealant, movement or a leak.
- 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.
- We finish neatly and point out anything that needs another trade.
How to prepare
- On commercial sites, let us know about site rules
- Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints
- For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can

DIY sealant or a professional job?
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and doesn’t move well, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.
A DIY attempt doesn’t rule out a professional job. We cut it out and start again, so tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
