Kentallen Remedial Sealant
We cover Kentallen for removing failed, mouldy or leaking sealant and putting it right. Old sealant removed completely, joints prepared properly.
- Beads that never stuck properly
- Repeat leaks from the same joint
- Sealant applied over old sealant that has lifted
Work for landlords, hotels and businesses
Failed sealant is one of the commonest items on a check-out report, and it’s easy to sort out between tenants. We can quote for more than one property at once.
Letting agents and landlords in Kentallen can book us as well as householders. Resealing between tenancies is a simple way to keep a property in good order.
About our remedial sealant in Kentallen
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 expansion joints, mouldy bath & shower sealant and failed movement joints, and people most often call us about a shower that leaks however often it’s resealed and dark patches showing through the sealant.
In and around a place like Kentallen, homes range from older stone-built properties to newer houses. Older buildings can move a little, and that shows first in cracked grout and split sealant.
Our work is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you are.

What remedial sealant looks like in Kentallen
Kentallen 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. Scottish Water supplies are generally soft, so limescale is less of a problem than in hard-water areas. But mould still grows into sealant and grout in a room that does not dry out.
Around Kentallen, as everywhere, remedial sealant is only as good as the preparation behind it.
Kentallen is in Argyll and Bute. Every kind of property in Kentallen can book us for remedial sealant, old or new, large or small. The work is guaranteed for a year. Our Argyll and Bute coverage runs to 118 places, and Kentallen is one of them. You can also see our page for Glasgow, about 68 miles away.

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, and the work is guaranteed for a year.
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that is fine. We cut it out and start again, so tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
What sealant work can’t fix
A few problems are outside what sealant work can do:
- Leaks from a shower valve, waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
- Sealant in an older building that needs testing for asbestos first
- Tiles that have come away from the wall
Not sure which it is? You can email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk and we will tell you honestly.
Surfaces we seal
- Shrunken worktop sealant
- Leaking tray & enclosure joints
- Mouldy bath & shower sealant
- Botched or over-sealed joints
- Expansion joints
- Failed movement joints
What happens if it’s left?
A joint that has failed twice will fail again unless the cause is dealt with. Finding it, whether movement, water from elsewhere or an unsuitable product, ends the cycle. Around Kentallen, water from a failed joint in an older stone home can soak into timber and plaster.
No two jobs are quite the same, so each one gets its own quote. The number of joints, how easy they are to reach and the sealant needed all make a difference.

How it works
There’s no need to move everything out before we come, only the area right around the joints. Everything nearby is protected, and the job takes a few hours for most joints, depending on how much old sealant has to come out in most cases. Outdoor work around Kentallen depends on the weather, as sealant needs a dry surface, so external jobs may need to move if the day turns wet. Work indoors isn’t affected.
- We protect the surfaces around the joint.
- The botched or failed sealant is cut away completely.
- We clean and degrease the joint and look for signs of movement or water.
- Once dry, a suitable sealant is applied and tooled.
- You get the cure time and our view on why the joint failed.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know about stairs, lifts or work at height
- Tell us about any previous sealing or DIY attempts
- Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work

Aftercare tips
A little care helps the new joints last. We recommend:
- Deal with small splits early
- Keep movement joints clear of mortar and paint
- Ask why a joint failed before redoing it
- Have loose fittings fixed before resealing
Keep an eye on the joint at first, particularly where the original failure was caused by movement. If anything changes, just send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk.
Mould under a second layer of sealant keeps growing out of sight. When it finally shows, the whole bead needs to come out.

Questions from Kentallen
Will you come out to Kentallen?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Our work covers the whole of Scotland. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
What guarantee comes with remedial sealant in Kentallen?
All our work, in Kentallen and everywhere else, comes with a 12-month guarantee. We are also fully insured and ARBOMaster approved.
Do I have to be there?
For indoor joints, yes, someone needs to let us in. Once we’ve agreed the job, you don’t need to watch us work.
Can landlords and businesses book you?
Yes, regularly. Several properties can go on one quote, and between tenancies is a good time for the work.
Is it messy?
Not at all. The area is protected while we work and cleaned up afterwards.
Are you insured?
Yes. Full insurance covers our work, and we can confirm the details when we quote.
Can I do it myself?
It depends on the job. High-level, external movement and fire-rated joints are professional jobs, while a short indoor joint may be within reach.
Can you remove sealant that’s been put over old sealant?
Yes. It’s slower than a standard reseal, because every layer has to come out cleanly, but it’s what makes the new bead last.
What we are called out for in Kentallen
Joints that move need sealant that can stretch. A bath that flexes, a tray that rocks or a building joint that opens and closes will split a rigid or thin bead.
These are the problems we’re asked about most:
- A second bead peeling off the first
- Beads that never stuck properly
- Floor or wall movement joints that have failed
- Dark patches showing through the sealant
Whether the job is in Kentallen itself or nearby, the right material for each joint matters as much as a neat finish.
