Keeping the joints in good condition
To keep the joints looking good and working properly:
- Keep bleach and abrasives off the bead
- Have loose fittings fixed before resealing
- Check ceilings under showers for marks
- Never seal over old silicone
If we’ve found a cause, such as a loose tray or a leaking waste, get it fixed, because the new sealant cannot hold back a problem underneath.
Mould trapped under over-sealed joints spreads unseen. When it finally shows, the whole bead needs to come out.
What remedial sealant looks like in Kilmichael Glassary
Private landlords in Scotland must be registered and meet the Repairing Standard, which includes keeping fixtures and fittings in reasonable repair. Tired, leaking sealant is worth putting right before a new tenant moves in. 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.

What sealant work can’t fix
We’d rather tell you now than do work that will not last, so these are the limits:
- A cracked shower tray or bath (that needs repair or replacing)
- A bath, tray or worktop that moves until it’s properly fixed
- Old mastic in a building from before 2000 that should be checked for asbestos before it’s disturbed
Not sure which it is? You can send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk and we will tell you honestly.

- Failed movement joints
How the job changes by surface
Movement & expansion joints
A sealant stuck to the back of the joint can’t stretch. Backing stops that, so the sealant grips the two sides only.
Mouldy bath & shower sealant
Mould that has grown into silicone doesn’t clean out for good. All of it comes out, and the joint is treated and dried ahead of a new anti-fungal bead.
What happens on the day
Once we are on site, we compare the joints with what we discussed. If we find something unexpected, we talk it through with you first. Most jobs then take a few hours for a typical bath or shower, longer where several layers have been applied. Around Kilmichael Glassary, distance and access matter more than parking. Tell us how to find the property and how to reach the work.
- 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.
Preparing for the visit
- Keep children and pets away from the work area
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive

When to call us in Kilmichael Glassary
Sealant needs a clean, dry surface with no grease on it. Soap film, dust, damp or old residue stop it gripping, so it starts lifting sooner than it should.
Any of these means the joints need attention:
- Wide, uneven beads that look worse than the old ones
- Black mould underneath the bead
- Floor or wall movement joints that have failed
- A shower that leaks however often it’s resealed
In the older streets around Kilmichael Glassary Parish Church, walls and floors in older homes can move, and sealant and grout show it first.
Questions to ask before you book
- How much experience the applicator has
- What happens if they find a problem under the old sealant
- Which sealant they’ll use, and why
- How long the guarantee is
What happens if it’s left?
Another bead over the top will not fix a failed joint. It does not grip the old layer, leaving the leak in place and one more layer to cut out later. Out of town in Scotland, exposed walls take a lot of weather, and once water gets behind a failed joint, damp in stone or harled walls is slow to dry out.
