Remedial sealant & repairs in Kirkhill, Highland
Removing failed, mouldy or leaking sealant and putting it right for homes and businesses in Kirkhill and across Highland. Fully insured, ARBOMaster approved and guaranteed for a year.

- Dark patches showing through the sealant
DIY versus a professional finish
Not every job suits DIY: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. Silicone does not stick to old silicone, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. All the old material has to come out first.
About our remedial sealant in Kirkhill
If a joint fails again and again, something is causing it. Movement, the wrong product or a leak from somewhere else will beat any new bead. Finding that cause comes before any new sealant. If you’re dealing with sealant applied over old sealant that has lifted and leaks that keep coming back after resealing, we can put it right, whatever the surface.
Being further from a city does not change the work: old material out, joints cleaned and dried, and a fresh, even finish. The journey and access are simply planned in advance.
All our work is covered by our one-year guarantee.

Bathrooms and kitchens in Kirkhill
Scottish Water supplies are generally soft, so limescale is less of a problem than in hard-water areas. Mould is another matter: a bathroom that stays damp still turns sealant and grout black. Private landlords in Scotland must be registered and meet the Repairing Standard, which covers keeping fixtures and fittings in a reasonable state of repair. Tired, leaking sealant is worth putting right before a new tenant moves in.
For an older house near a landmark such as Wardlaw Parish Church of Scotland, bathrooms in older houses have often been refitted more than once, with sealant laid over sealant.
Kirkhill is about 7 miles west of Inverness, in Highland. Across the IV5 area, we can carry out remedial sealant at your property. Our Highland coverage runs to 253 places, Kirkhill among them.

Why it’s worth doing now in Kirkhill
DIY removal often leaves scratches and a film of residue, and any film left behind stops new sealant sticking. Careful removal is most of a remedial job. Exposed walls in smaller Scottish places take a lot of wind and rain, and damp in stone or harled walls takes a long time to dry once water gets behind a joint.
Rather than a set price list, we look at what your job involves: the amount of work, the old material and the access. The price is agreed before we begin.

How it works
A visit follows a simple pattern: we look at the joints together, protect the area around them, do the work and tidy away. Most jobs take a few hours for a typical bath or shower, longer where several layers have been applied. In smaller Scottish places, parking is generally less of an issue than access and distance. Let us know how to find you and how to reach the joints, and the visit is planned around that.
- We look at how the sealant has failed and check for movement or a leak path.
- Every layer of old sealant is cut and cleaned out.
- Next, any mould is treated and the joint dried.
- We use the right backing and sealant for any joint that moves.
- The new joint is tooled neatly and we explain anything else we found.
Before we arrive
- Clear items away from the joints we’re working on
- Let us know if you’ve seen damp or leaks
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive

How the job changes by surface
Worktops & kitchens
If a worktop moves when you lean on it, the sealant will keep splitting. It needs fixing down first, and we will tell you if we find it.
Leaking trays & enclosures
When failed joints are the cause, they’re all cut out and renewed, including the screen profile and tray edges.
What sealant work can’t fix
In fairness, there are a few things sealant will not fix:
- Old mastic in a building from before 2000 that should be checked for asbestos before it’s disturbed
- Cracks in the fitting rather than the joint
- Plumbing leaks behind walls or under trays
Not sure which it is? You can drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk and we will tell you honestly.
What we seal
- Leaking tray & enclosure joints
- Mouldy bath & shower sealant
- Botched or over-sealed joints
- Shrunken worktop sealant
- Expansion joints
- Failed movement joints
Signs you need remedial sealant in Kirkhill
Sealant needs a clean, dry surface with no grease on it. Residue, moisture or dust left in the joint weaken the bond, so it starts lifting sooner than it should.
The problems people normally mention when they call are:
- Mould trapped under a layer of silicone
- Gaps opening along the back of the worktop
- Torn expansion joints
- Sealant that came away because the surface wasn’t prepared
If you let a flat or house near Beauly station, failed or mouldy sealant is worth putting right between tenancies, before it turns into a leak.
