How we handle remedial sealant in Kiltarlity
If a joint has been resealed and is leaking again, it’s worth a proper look. It helps to have photos when you drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk, and say how long ago it was last done. If you’re dealing with a second bead peeling off the first and repeat leaks from the same joint, we can help, on expansion joints, failed movement joints and leaking tray & enclosure joints alike.
In and around a place like Kiltarlity, homes range from older stone-built properties to newer houses. Where a building moves, cracked grout and split sealant are normally the first signs.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything isn’t right with it, drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk.

Looking after it afterwards
Good habits help new joints last longer. A few tips:
- Keep movement joints clear of mortar and paint
- Ask why a joint failed before redoing it
- Keep an eye on the ceiling below the bathroom
- Check trays and worktops do not move
Clean gently: a mild cleaner and a soft cloth, with no blades or scourers.
Warning signs: sealant lifting at the ends, a second bead visible on top of the first, black mould under the silicone, or stains below a bathroom. Each one is worth getting looked at.
How it works
There’s no need to move everything out, just the space around the work. We protect the rest, and the work takes a few hours for most joints, depending on how much old sealant has to come out for a typical job. For a place like Kiltarlity, longer drives are planned in advance. Tell us about tracks, gates, a ferry crossing or anything unusual about getting there.
- The failure is looked at first, so we know whether it’s sealant, movement or water from elsewhere.
- Each layer is cut out and the residue cleaned off.
- We treat any mould and dry the joint thoroughly.
- We reseal with a product suited to the joint, backed where needed.
- We finish neatly and point out anything that needs another trade.
Getting ready for the visit
- Keep children and pets away from the work area
- Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints
- Mention any tricky access

Related advice
What we are called out for in Kiltarlity
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, so it tears when the joint moves. Backing sets the depth and stops that.
These are the problems we’re asked about most:
- Thick, messy sealant smeared over tiles
- A second bead peeling off the first
- Dark patches showing through the sealant
- Movement joints that have split or pulled away
Around Kiltarlity, as everywhere, remedial sealant is only as good as the preparation behind it.

Kiltarlity homes and their sealant
In Scotland, private landlords have to 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. 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 does not dry out.
Rented homes near Beauly station change hands often, and a joint that keeps failing is best fixed properly while the property is empty.

What affects the quote in Kiltarlity
The quote reflects the job in front of us. We take into account:
- Mould in or behind the old joints
- How many areas need sealing
- How much old sealant there is and how hard it is to remove
- How easy the joints are to reach
Homes and businesses are quoted the same way: how much there is to do, how we reach it and what it needs. Ask us for a quote and we will explain what it covers.
Helping us quote
To make quoting easier, let us know:
- Pictures of the joints, sent by email
- The address or postcode of the job
- Any access issues, like height or stairs
- What’s wrong with the joints now
A good description makes for an accurate quote. Tell us where the job is, what’s wrong and how much there is, and email pictures if that is easy.
What happens if it’s left?
Stripping out botched sealant adds time to a reseal, but rarely a lot: the work takes a few hours, depending on how many layers have to come out. It’s far less disruption than resealing the same joint again and again. Around Kiltarlity, water from a failed joint in an older stone home can soak into timber and plaster.
What you pay reflects the work, not guesswork. That’s why we ask a few questions first and send you a clear quote before any work starts.
