When it is not the sealant

Honest advice matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what new sealant won’t do:

  • Plumbing leaks behind walls or under trays
  • Movement from fittings that are not supported
  • Old mastic in a building from before 2000 that should be checked for asbestos before it’s disturbed

If you’re not sure, just send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.

Where we work in Kilkerran

Remedial sealant in Kilkerran

The wrong product in the wrong joint fails however neatly it’s applied. We take it out and use a sealant made for that joint. We work on mouldy bath & shower sealant, leaking tray & enclosure joints and shrunken worktop sealant, and common reasons people get in touch are thick, messy sealant smeared over tiles and repeat leaks from the same joint.

A bathroom in a place like Kilkerran 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.

Each job carries a 12-month guarantee.

Kilkerran homes and their sealant

Kilkerran is close to the coast. Coastal homes, holiday lets and guest houses can see heavy bathroom use in busy months, which wears sealant and grout out faster than in a quiet home. There are hotels and other places to stay in and around Kilkerran. As well as homes, we work in hotel bathrooms, where resealing and regrouting can be done room by room.

If you live in an older home near Kilkerran Old Parish Church, timber floors under older bathrooms flex, so joints need a sealant that moves with them.

Do you need remedial sealant in Kilkerran?

Sealant needs a clean, dry surface with no grease on it. Soap film, dust, damp or old residue stop it gripping, and the joint starts to come away early.

People normally contact us when they notice something like this:

  • Movement joints that have split or pulled away
  • A second bead peeling off the first
  • Sealant that came away because the surface wasn’t prepared
  • Worktop sealant that has shrunk and split

Around Kilkerran, as everywhere, remedial sealant is only as good as the preparation behind it.

Choosing a sealant specialist

Kilkerran questions

Will you come out to Kilkerran?

Yes. Kilkerran is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. We work across all of Scotland. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.

Do you work in hotels near Kilkerran?

Yes, hospitality work, including hotels, is part of what we do. Work can be planned room by room, and out-of-hours working can be arranged.

Do you hold any approvals?

Yes. We are ARBOMaster approved, the scheme for applicators of Arbo sealants.

Someone resealed my shower and it’s leaking again. Can you help?

Yes, normally. First we check whether the leak is the sealant at all, then strip and reseal the joints.

Can you remove old sealant without damaging the bath?

Yes. Careful removal is most of a remedial job, especially on acrylic, enamel and uPVC.

What does remedial sealant cost?

Every job is different, so each one gets its own quote. To get one, email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk and let us know what needs doing and where.

Do I have to be there?

That depends on where the joints are. Inside work needs someone to give us access, and for outside work we’ll agree access with you when we book.

Will you leave a mess?

No. The area is protected while we work and cleaned up afterwards.

Leave it or put it right?

DIY removal often leaves scratches and a film of residue, and the residue left behind stops the next bead bonding. Careful stripping is where most of our time goes. Around Kilkerran, water from a failed joint in an older stone home can soak into timber and plaster.

We don’t show prices on the website, because each job is priced on what it involves. Call for a quick quote.

DIY versus a professional finish

If you do try it yourself, take your time over the preparation: take out all the old sealant, make sure the joint is clean and dry, and give it the full cure time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still put it right.

What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is, and the work is guaranteed for a year.

What we do, step by step

Every visit runs the same way: we look at the joints together, protect the area around them, carry out the job and clear up. It usually takes a few hours, depending on how many layers have to come out. For a place like Kilkerran, longer drives are planned in advance. Mention tracks, gates, ferries or anything else about the route.

  1. Surrounding tiles, trays and frames are protected first.
  2. The botched or failed sealant is cut away completely.
  3. The joint is degreased and checked for movement and leaks.
  4. New sealant goes in once the joint is dry, and is tooled smooth.
  5. You get the cure time and our view on why the joint failed.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Keep children and pets away from the work area
  • Let us know if you’ve seen damp or leaks
  • Let us know about parking restrictions
