For landlords and businesses
We work for landlords and letting agents as well as homeowners. Sealant work between tenants is a simple way to keep a property in good order before the next move-in.
We also work for businesses, from offices to washrooms and kitchens. For commercial premises, we can talk through working times when we quote.
Remedial sealant in Inverinate, done properly
If a joint has been resealed and is leaking again, it’s worth a proper look. It helps to have photos when you drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk, and say how long ago it was last done. If you’re dealing with gaps opening along the back of the worktop and mould trapped under a layer of silicone, we can help.
A bathroom in a place like Inverinate gets the same daily wear as one in a city flat. Limescale is less of a problem with Scotland’s generally soft water, but mould still takes hold in damp sealant and grout.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there’s a problem with our work within the year, let us know and we will sort it.

How the visit works
Every visit runs the same way: we check the joints, mask and protect the surrounding surfaces, do the work and clear up. It generally takes a few hours for a typical bath or shower, longer where several layers have been applied. Somewhere like Inverinate may be a longer drive, and the journey is planned ahead. Mention tracks, gates, ferries or anything else about the route.
- We start by checking the joint for movement, leaks and the reason it failed.
- All the old sealant comes out, including any layers underneath.
- The joint is cleaned, treated for mould and left to dry.
- Moving joints get backing and a flexible sealant to suit.
- The new joint is tooled neatly and we explain anything else we found.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know about stairs, lifts or work at height
- Move anything stored near the joints
- Let us know if you’ve seen damp or leaks

Related advice
When to call us in Inverinate
All sealant wears out eventually. Mould grows into the silicone, the surface hardens and the bead shrinks, especially in damp, poorly aired rooms. At that point it has to come out.
If you can see any of these, it’s time to have the joints looked at:
- Mould trapped under a layer of silicone
- Repeat leaks from the same joint
- Kitchen joints letting water behind the worktop
- Sealant peeling off a dusty or damp surface
In the older streets around Kintail Parish Church, timber floors under older bathrooms flex, so joints need a sealant that moves with them.
Questions to ask before booking
- Who does the work, and how experienced they are
- How the colour is chosen
- Whether VAT is included
- How the joint is cleaned and prepared
Common questions in Inverinate
Will you come out to Inverinate?
Yes, Inverinate is covered. We work across all of Scotland, from towns to the smallest places. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
Do you work for hotels and guest houses in Inverinate?
Yes, we work for hotels as well as homes and businesses. Rooms can be done a few at a time, so the building stays open.
Can I add another job to the visit?

Are you an approved applicator?
Yes. We’re ARBOMaster approved, the scheme for applicators of Arbo sealants.
Can you strip sealant from an acrylic tray safely?
Yes. We avoid heavy scraping and use the right cleaner for each surface, so the new sealant bonds cleanly.
How do I get a quote for remedial sealant in Inverinate?
There’s no set price, as it depends on the job: how much there is, what’s there now, how we reach it and what it needs. You will get a clear quote before work begins.
How long will it take to strip and reseal the joint?
Allow a few hours for most joints, depending on how much old sealant has to come out. You will know the timing when we quote.
Does someone need to be in?
For indoor joints, yes, someone needs to let us in. Once we’ve agreed the job, you do not need to watch us work.
Why act early in Inverinate
Ripping out a bathroom isn’t usually needed. If the bath, tray and tiles are sound, remedial resealing usually puts it right. If they’re not, we will tell you. Around Inverinate, water from a failed joint in an older stone home can soak into timber and plaster, which is a far bigger job than the sealant.
There are no prices on our website, because the cost depends so much on the job itself. Call for a quick quote.

DIY versus a professional finish
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. Silicone does not stick to old silicone, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. All the old material has to come out first.
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions.
What affects the cost of remedial sealant
The price is agreed before any work begins. It takes into account:
- Whether old sealant or filler has to be cut out
- How many areas need sealing
- Whether there’s mould to deal with
- The number and length of the joints
A failed joint rarely gets cheaper to fix by waiting, as water and mould keep getting in. If you’re unsure, email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk and we’ll give you an honest view and a quote.
Asking for a quote
To make quoting easier, please include:
- The rough size of the job
- Where the property is
- The problem you’ve noticed
- If someone has resealed it before

Surface by surface
Worktops & kitchens
A loose worktop splits its sealant. That needs refixing before resealing, which we’ll point out.
Leaking trays & enclosures
Where the joints are the problem, every bead is stripped and resealed with anti-fungal sanitary silicone, including the screen profile and tray edges.
What remedial sealant looks like in Inverinate
Inverinate is close to the coast. Coastal homes, holiday lets and guest houses can see heavy bathroom use in busy months, and sealant and grout that work that hard wear out sooner. In Scotland, private landlords have to meet the Repairing Standard, which covers keeping fixtures and fittings in a reasonable state of repair. Tired, leaking sealant is worth putting right before a new tenant moves in.
Around Inverinate, as everywhere, remedial sealant is only as good as the preparation behind it.
