How we handle remedial sealant in Inverarnan
Some sealant jobs are not 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 have to come out before the joint can be done properly. We are often asked to deal with black mould underneath the bead and wide, uneven beads that look worse than the old ones, on mouldy bath & shower sealant, failed movement joints and shrunken worktop sealant.
A bathroom in a place like Inverarnan 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.
Our work is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you are.

Looking after it afterwards
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Always have old sealant cut out, not covered
- Find out why the sealant failed first
- Never fill a movement joint with mortar or grout
- Keep the room well ventilated
Go easy on the new sealant: a mild cleaner and a soft cloth, with no blades or scourers.
Leaks through failed sealant grow over time. Every shower or downpour sends more water through, into floors, walls or ceilings. Sorting it early limits the damage.
Remedial sealant in Inverarnan: local notes
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.
Homes close to Ardlui Church include some older properties, and older homes can move a little, which is hard on rigid grout and tired sealant. If you let a flat or house near Ardlui station, failed or mouldy sealant is worth putting right between tenancies, before it turns into a leak.

Can I do it myself?
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. Silicone doesn’t stick to old silicone, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. Everything old must be removed first.
When it isn’t the sealant
Some problems need a builder, plumber or other trade rather than us:
- A tray or worktop that needs refixing first
- Plumbing leaks behind walls or under trays
- A cracked shower tray or bath (that needs repair or replacing)
If you’re not sure, just drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.

How the job changes by surface
Worktops & kitchens
If a worktop moves when you lean on it, the sealant will keep splitting. It needs fixing down first, which we will point out.
Movement & expansion joints
Movement joints in floors, walls and façades need a flexible sealant set to the right depth. We remove the failed sealant, fit backing and reseal.
Why it’s worth doing now in Inverarnan
Mould under a bead can’t be reached by cleaning. The layers have to come out, so the joint can be treated and resealed. In an older home around Inverarnan, damp from a failed joint can get into timber and plaster.
What you pay reflects the work, not a rough estimate. That is why we ask about the job first and agree the price before starting.
What you get with us
- An ARBOMaster approved applicator
- Any old sealant cut out fully, not covered over
- Sealant colour chosen to suit
- One-year guarantee on every job

What happens on the day
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 most joints, depending on how much old sealant has to come out. Outside jobs in Inverarnan need a dry day, because sealant will not bond to a wet joint, so external jobs may need to move if the day turns wet. Indoor work goes ahead whatever the weather.
- We start by checking the joint for movement, leaks and the reason it failed.
- Every layer of old sealant is cut and cleaned out.
- The joint is cleaned, treated for mould and left to dry.
- Moving joints get backing and a flexible sealant to suit.
- We tool the joint and tell you about anything else that needs attention.
