How the job changes by surface
Windows & doors
Some leaks around windows come from the wall or the window itself. We check the joint and tell you if it looks to be something else.
Worktops & kitchens
If a worktop moves when you lean on it, the sealant will keep splitting. It needs fixing down first, which we’ll point out.
How we handle remedial sealant in Kilbeg
Remedial work is what we do when sealant has failed or been done badly. New sealant over old, smeared beads, unsuitable products and hidden mould all need stripping out. If you are dealing with sealant applied over old sealant that has lifted and floor or wall movement joints that have failed, we can put it right, on botched or over-sealed joints, failed movement joints and mouldy bath & shower sealant alike.
Being further from a city does not change the work: old material out, joints cleaned and dried, and a fresh, even finish. The journey and access are simply planned in advance.
All of our work is guaranteed for twelve months.

Common problems we fix in Kilbeg
A lot of failed joints have been sealed over rather than replaced. New silicone cannot stick to the old bead, so the new layer peels, and damp and mould settle between them.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Gaps opening along the back of the worktop
- Mould trapped under a layer of silicone
- Movement joints that have split or pulled away
- A second bead peeling off the first
Around Kilbeg, as everywhere, remedial sealant is only as good as the preparation behind it.
Before booking anyone
- What happens if they find a problem under the old sealant
- Whether the sealant suits the joint
- How long the guarantee is
- Who turns up on the day
DIY sealant or a professional job?
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that’s fine. We remove it and do the joint properly, so just mention it when you contact us.
What else we do in Kilbeg
Common questions in Kilbeg
Can you do remedial sealant in Kilbeg?
Yes, Kilbeg is within the area we cover. Our work covers the whole of Scotland. You can send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk and let us know what needs doing.
Do you cover smaller places like Kilbeg?
Yes, we do. Our work covers the whole of Scotland, and smaller places are part of that. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
How long will it take to strip and reseal the joint?
It takes a few hours, depending on how many layers have to come out. We will give you a timescale when we quote.
What if resealing will not fix my leak?
Then we explain what we’ve found. A plumber or fitter may be needed before any new sealant goes on.
Do you do commercial work?
Yes. We work in offices, washrooms, hotels and other commercial premises. Working times can be discussed when we quote.
Which products do you use?
The product depends on the job: sanitary silicone where it gets wet, and sealants suited to movement or weather elsewhere. Brands we use include Arbo and Everbuild.
Someone sealed over the old bead. Can you fix it?
Yes. Each layer is cut out and the residue cleaned off, before resealing with a single bead.
Where is Mr Mastic based?
Our base is in Crawley, and we work across South East England, London and Scotland.
How the visit works
At the end, we look at the finished work together and explain the cure time. The work normally takes a few hours, depending on how many layers have to come out, depending on the size of the job. Somewhere like Kilbeg may be a longer drive, and the journey is planned ahead. Tell us about tracks, gates, a ferry crossing or anything unusual about getting there.
- First we work out whether the problem is the sealant, movement or a leak.
- Old beads and residue are removed down to clean surfaces.
- Mould is treated and the joint dried.
- We reseal with a product suited to the joint, backed where needed.
- We finish neatly and point out anything that needs another trade.
Before we arrive
- Mention any sign-in or site rules at work premises
- Clear the area around the work
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children

Related advice
What sealant work cannot fix
To be straight with you, some problems need a different trade:
- A bath, tray or worktop that moves until it’s properly fixed
- Cracks in the fitting rather than the joint
- Plumbing leaks behind walls or under trays
If you are not sure, just drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk and we will give you a straight answer.
Joints and surfaces we work on
- Leaking tray & enclosure joints
- Failed movement joints
- Expansion joints
- Botched or over-sealed joints
- Mouldy bath & shower sealant
- Shrunken worktop sealant
Keeping the joints in good condition
After the cure time, these simple habits help:
- Ask why a joint failed before redoing it
- Always have old sealant cut out, not covered
- Keep movement joints clear of mortar and paint
- Don’t wait for a small gap to become a leak
Clean gently: a mild cleaner and a soft cloth, with no blades or scourers.
If a joint has failed more than once, stop resealing it. Have someone find out why, otherwise the next attempt will fail too.
How we quote for remedial sealant
Every job gets its own quote. This is what makes a difference:
- Which sealant suits the joint
- The number and length of the joints
- The number of rooms or windows
- Access and height
A few things move the cost up or down: how much old sealant there is and how stubborn it is, whether mould needs treating, and whether we need extra access for height. Your quote takes all of that into account.
What we need to know
You do not need to know the technical terms. Just tell us:
- If it’s domestic, commercial or a hotel
- A few pictures by email, if you can
- Access, such as stairs, a lift or height
- Roughly how big the job is
For remedial sealant in Kilbeg, send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk. A short description of the job and where it is helps us quote, and we will agree the price before any work begins.
Kilbeg homes and their sealant
Kilbeg 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. But mould still grows into sealant and grout in a room that doesn’t dry out.
In the older streets around Sleat Parish Church, walls and floors in older homes can move, and sealant and grout show it first.
Kilbeg is in Highland. Every kind of property in Kilbeg can book us for remedial sealant, old or new, large or small. The work is guaranteed for a year. Our Highland coverage runs to 253 places, and Kilbeg is one of them.
