Remedial sealant in Inveraray
The wrong product in the wrong joint won’t last, however tidy it looks. We take it out and use a sealant made for that joint. If you’re dealing with over-sealed joints coming away and movement joints that have split or pulled away, we can help.
A bathroom in a place like Inveraray gets the same daily wear as one in a city flat. Generally soft Scottish water means less limescale, but steam still lets mould into sealant and grout.
Each job carries a 12-month guarantee, whatever its size.

DIY versus a professional finish
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions, then guaranteed for a year.
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and does not move well, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.
What we do, step by step
Good joint work is mostly preparation, so that is where we spend the time. Joints are cleaned back and dried before anything new goes in. In total, it normally takes a few hours for most joints, depending on how much old sealant has to come out. For a place like Inveraray, longer drives are planned in advance. Tell us about tracks, gates, a ferry crossing or anything unusual about getting there.
- We look at how the sealant has failed and check for movement or a leak path.
- We strip the joint completely, removing any layers below.
- Next, any mould is treated and the joint dried.
- 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.
Preparing for the visit
- For business premises, tell us about site rules or sign-in
- Tell us about any water getting in
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before

Advice
How the job changes by surface
Mouldy bath & shower sealant
Repeat mould normally points to a damp, poorly aired room. We will reseal and tell you if extraction looks to be the issue.
Worktops & kitchens
Kitchen joints hold grease and residue, so we spend extra time cleaning.
What remedial sealant looks like in Inveraray
Inveraray is within about 1 mile of the coast. Coastal homes, holiday lets and guest houses can see heavy bathroom use in busy months, which wears sealant and grout out faster than in a quiet home. There are hotels and other places to stay in and around Inveraray. Hotel bathrooms are part of our work as well as homes, and can be done room by room.
Homes close to Inveraray Parish Church include some older properties, and walls and floors in older homes can move, and sealant and grout show it first.

Common problems we fix in Inveraray
A lot of failed joints have been sealed over rather than replaced. Silicone doesn’t bond to silicone, so the top layer lifts and water and mould collect between the two.
It’s worth asking for a quote if you see:
- Caulk or the wrong sealant used in a wet area
- Wide, uneven beads that look worse than the old ones
- Mould trapped under a layer of silicone
- Gaps opening along the back of the worktop
Around Inveraray, as everywhere, remedial sealant is only as good as the preparation behind it.

Questions from Inveraray
Is Inveraray within the area you cover?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. We work across all of Scotland. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Do you work in hotels near Inveraray?
Yes, hotels and guest houses are among the places we work. Rooms can be done a few at a time, so the building stays open.
Can you remove sealant that’s been put over old sealant?
Yes. We remove every layer; over-sealing fails because silicone won’t bond to silicone.
Do you guarantee remedial jobs?
Yes. You get our 12-month guarantee.
What do you put in the joint?
Products from Arbo and Everbuild, among others, picked for each joint. We explain the product when we quote.
Is it messy?
No. The area is protected while we work and cleaned up afterwards.
Are you an approved applicator?
Yes. We hold ARBOMaster approved applicator status and we’re fully insured too.
Is it worth trying it myself?
It depends on the job. Work at height, movement joints, fire-rated gaps and large areas are best left to a professional.
Leave it or put it right?
Remedial work takes longer than a straight reseal, but not by much: the work takes a few hours for most joints, depending on how much old sealant has to come out. It’s far less disruption than resealing the same joint again and again. When the nearest tradesperson is a drive away, it’s tempting to leave a small leak, but water through a failed joint keeps working away until it’s fixed.
A failed joint rarely gets cheaper to fix by waiting. If you are not sure whether it needs doing, email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk for an honest opinion and a quote.
