- Decorators’ caulk around a bath or shower
How it works
On the day, we look over the joints with you first, so there are no surprises. We protect the surfaces around the joints before we start. Most jobs take a few hours, depending on how many layers have to come out. Outdoor work around Inverarish depends on the weather, as sealant needs a dry surface, so external jobs may need to move if the day turns wet. Indoor work goes ahead whatever the weather.
- 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.
- We clean the joint, treat any mould and let it dry.
- Moving joints get backing and a flexible sealant to suit.
- Finally we finish the joint and talk you through what we found.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know about parking restrictions
- For business premises, tell us about site rules or sign-in
- Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work

Remedial sealant in Inverarish
Some sealant jobs aren’t a simple reseal, because someone has already had a go. Silicone laid over silicone, smears across tiles, the wrong product in a moving joint or mould trapped underneath all need stripping out before the joint can be done properly. We work on botched or over-sealed joints, expansion joints and shrunken worktop sealant, and common reasons people get in touch are torn expansion joints and sealant applied over old sealant that has lifted.
In and around a place like Inverarish, homes range from older stone-built properties to newer houses. Where a building moves, cracked grout and split sealant are generally the first signs.
A 12-month guarantee comes as standard, so you’re not left on your own once the job is done.

Work for landlords, hotels and businesses
In hotels, rooms out of use cost money, so we plan the work room by room. We have worked in hotels as well as homes and businesses.
From a single let to a portfolio, the work is the same standard: the old material taken out, careful preparation and a 12-month guarantee.
What remedial sealant looks like in Inverarish
Inverarish 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, and sealant and grout that work that hard wear out sooner. 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.
Whether the job is in Inverarish itself or nearby, the right material for each joint matters as much as a neat finish.
Inverarish is in Highland. Homes, rented property, offices and hotels in Inverarish can book us for remedial sealant. The work is guaranteed for a year. We cover 253 towns and villages across Highland.

Looking after it afterwards
So the new joints stay in good condition:
- Keep the room well ventilated
- Find out why the sealant failed first
- Check trays and worktops don’t move
- Never seal over old silicone
Watch the joint over the first few weeks, particularly where the original failure was caused by movement. Should anything change, email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk.
A split movement joint lets rain into walls and floors, and left long enough, the edges of the joint can crumble. A joint with sound edges is far easier to reseal.
Why it’s worth doing now in Inverarish
Remedial work takes longer than a straight reseal, but not by much: it takes a few hours, depending on how many layers have to come out. It’s far less disruption than resealing the same joint again and again. Exposed walls in smaller Scottish places take a lot of wind and rain, and once water gets behind a failed joint, damp in stone or harled walls is slow to dry out.
Homes and businesses are quoted the same way: how much there is to do, how we reach it and what it needs. Ask us for a quote and we will go through it with you.

Signs you need remedial sealant in Inverarish
Sealant needs a clean, dry surface with no grease on it. Soap film, dust, damp or old residue stop it gripping, and the joint starts to come away early.
Most people get in touch when they notice one of these:
- Sealant applied over old sealant that has lifted
- Sealant that came away because the surface wasn’t prepared
- Torn expansion joints
- Repeat leaks from the same joint
In and around Inverarish, as anywhere, good remedial sealant starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint.

- The length of the guarantee
- What product goes in the joint

Questions from Inverarish
Can you do remedial sealant in Inverarish?
Yes, Inverarish is within the area we cover. We work across all of Scotland. Just drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk with a few details of the job, and we’ll give you a clear price.
What guarantee comes with remedial sealant in Inverarish?
Every job comes with our 12-month guarantee, wherever it is. We’re fully insured, and an ARBOMaster approved applicator.
How do I get a quote for remedial sealant in Inverarish?
Size, access and the old material all affect the cost. Ask us for a quote and we will talk you through it.
Will there be a smell?
Some sealants have a smell while they cure, but it fades. Ventilation helps.
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.
Are you ARBOMaster approved?
Yes. We are an ARBOMaster approved applicator, the approved applicator scheme for Arbo sealants.
What if resealing won’t fix my leak?
Then we explain what we have found. A plumber or fitter may be needed before any new sealant goes on.
How long before the joint can be used?
Different products cure at different speeds, so follow the cure time we give you.
How the job changes by surface
Mouldy bath & shower sealant
Mould that has grown into silicone doesn’t clean out for good. The sealant is cut out completely, the joint treated with a mould remover and dried ahead of a new anti-fungal bead.
Leaking trays & enclosures
A shower that leaks after resealing often has a tray that moves or an enclosure sealed on the wrong side. We check both before any new sealant goes on.
What sealant work cannot fix
Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits:
- A leaking trap, valve or supply pipe
- A tray or worktop that needs refixing first
- Cracks in the fitting rather than the joint
Not sure which it is? You can drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk and we will tell you honestly.
