Keeping the joints in good condition
Simple care keeps the joints in good condition. Our advice:
- Keep an eye on the ceiling below the bathroom
- Keep movement joints clear of mortar and paint
- Keep the room well ventilated
- Keep bleach and abrasives off the bead
Keep an eye on the joint at first, particularly where the original failure was caused by movement. If anything changes, just drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk.
A split movement joint lets rain into walls and floors, and the longer it’s left, the more the joint edges break down. A joint with sound edges is far easier to reseal.
Common problems we fix in Kilrenny
One of the commonest remedial jobs is sealant on top of sealant. New silicone can’t stick to the old bead, so the top layer lifts and water and mould collect between the two.
People usually contact us when they notice one of these:
- Over-sealed joints coming away
- Repeat leaks from the same joint
- Wide, uneven beads that look worse than the old ones
- Gaps opening along the back of the worktop
For an older house near a landmark such as Kilrenny Parish Church, bathrooms in older houses have often been refitted more than once, with sealant laid over sealant.

The process
The work is kept neat and contained to the joints we are treating. The job usually takes a few hours, depending on how many layers have to come out. Outside jobs in Kilrenny need a dry day, because sealant will not bond to a wet joint, so an outdoor job can move if the forecast changes. Work indoors is not affected.
- We protect the surfaces around the joint.
- Every layer of failed sealant is stripped out.
- The joint is degreased and checked for movement and leaks.
- Once dry, a suitable sealant is applied and tooled.
- We give you the cure time and explain what caused the failure.
Before we arrive
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before
- Tell us about any water getting in
- Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work

Bathrooms and kitchens in Kilrenny
Kilrenny is close to 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. In Scotland, private landlords have to meet the Repairing Standard, which covers keeping fixtures and fittings in a reasonable state of repair. Failed sealant around a bath or shower is worth sorting between tenancies.
Schools such as Waid Academy are buildings too, and we reseal washrooms and kitchens in schools and businesses as well as homes.

Are you an approved applicator?

Can you quote for more than one area?
Yes. Tell us about everything you’d like done.
Different surfaces, different methods
Movement & expansion joints
A movement joint must be able to stretch. We remove the failed sealant, fit backing and reseal.
Leaking trays & enclosures
If the tray is cracked, or the leak is from the valve or waste, sealant won’t fix it. We say so rather than reseal.
How we quote for remedial sealant
We quote each job individually. These are the things that affect it:
- Access and height
- The product the joint needs
- How many rooms, windows or areas are involved
- Whether old sealant or filler has to be cut out
Combining jobs into one visit is generally more efficient than separate visits, so it’s worth mentioning everything you’d like done. You will get one clear quote for the whole job.
Helping us quote
Photos by email are helpful but not essential. Try to tell us:
- A few pictures by email, if you can
- How we’d reach the joints
- Any previous sealing or DIY work
- What the problem is, such as mould, gaps, leaks or cracking
We don’t publish a price list, as no two jobs are quite the same. Instead, your job gets its own clear quote. To arrange one, drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk.
