About our remedial sealant in Kildary
Decorators’ caulk in a shower, bathroom silicone on a window, a rigid filler in a movement joint fails however neatly it’s applied. We take it out and use a sealant made for that joint. We work on leaking tray & enclosure joints, shrunken worktop sealant and failed movement joints, and the jobs we see most are a shower that leaks however often it’s resealed and decorators’ caulk around a bath or shower.
For a place like Kildary, the job is the same as anywhere: everything old is cut out, the joints are cleaned and dried, and new sealant or grout goes in. The journey and access are simply planned in advance.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you’re covered after we have gone.

How we quote for remedial sealant
We quote each job individually. This is what makes a difference:
- Whether there’s mould to deal with
- Whether old sealant or filler has to be cut out
- Any working-time requirements on site
- The number and length of the joints
We don’t show prices on the website, because each job is priced on what it involves. For a quick quote, please drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk and we’ll talk you through it.
Asking for a quote
Photos by email are helpful but not essential. Try to tell us:
- How we’d reach the joints
- What’s wrong with the joints now
- Where the property is
- The type of property
A good description makes for an accurate quote. Let us know the location, the problem and roughly how many joints, and add photos by email if you can.
The process
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 amount of work. Somewhere like Kildary may be a longer drive, and the journey is planned ahead. Mention tracks, gates, ferries or anything else about the route.
- We look at how the sealant has failed and check for movement or a leak path.
- All the old sealant comes out, including any layers underneath.
- We clean the joint, treat any mould and let it dry.
- Moving joints get backing and a flexible sealant to suit.
- We tool the joint and tell you about anything else that needs attention.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any parking rules near the property
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Tell us about any previous sealing or DIY attempts

Movement & expansion joints
Movement joints in floors, walls and façades need a flexible sealant set to the right depth. Failed sealant is cut out, backing rod or tape is fitted and the joint resealed.
Over-sealed & botched joints
Previous removal attempts can leave scratches or gouges. We take care not to make it worse, and tell you about any damage we find.
What else we do in Kildary
For landlords and businesses
Hotels need rooms back in use, so the work can be planned room by room. Hotel work is part of what we do, alongside homes and businesses.
For anyone letting property in or around Kildary, jobs at different addresses can be quoted together. Just tell us the addresses and what each one needs.
Keeping the joints in good condition
No joint lasts for ever, but care makes a real difference. A few tips:
- Report a tray that rocks or a worktop that lifts
- Get the cause of a repeat leak found before resealing
- Use a soft cloth, not a scourer, on silicone
- Check ceilings under showers for marks
Leave the new joint to cure fully before it gets wet or moves: follow the cure time we give you.
Mould under a second layer of sealant keeps growing out of sight. When it finally shows, the whole bead needs to come out.
Signs you need remedial sealant in Kildary
How a joint is built matters as much as the product. Sealant packed too deep, or stuck to the back of the joint as well as the sides, cannot stretch, and tears at the first real movement. Backing rod or bond-breaker tape prevents it.
Common reasons people contact us include:
- Leaks that keep coming back after resealing
- Torn expansion joints
- Caulk or the wrong sealant used in a wet area
- Worktop sealant that has shrunk and split
For an older house near a landmark such as Church, timber floors under older bathrooms flex, so joints need a sealant that moves with them.
What your quote should include
- Whether they seal over old material or remove it
- What preparation is included
- How much experience the applicator has
- What insurance they hold
Why deal with it now?
Repeat failures have a cause. Taking time to find the cause, whether it’s movement, a leak or the wrong product, is what stops it happening 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.
Rather than a set price list, we look at what your job involves: how many joints, what’s in them now and how we reach them. The price is agreed before we begin.
Why us?
- Any old sealant cut out fully, not covered over
- Fully insured
- Sealant colour chosen to suit
- Anti-fungal sanitary silicone in wet areas

Bathrooms and kitchens in Kildary
Kildary is close to the coast. Near the coast, holiday lets and guest houses can see bathrooms used by one guest after another, which wears sealant and grout out faster than in a quiet home. 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.
Letting a property close to Fearn station? Then a joint that keeps failing is best fixed properly while the property is empty.
