Remedial sealant in Lady
With more than 20 years’ experience, our applicators have seen most of the ways sealant can fail. We’re ARBOMaster approved and fully insured, and remedial work carries our one-year guarantee. If you’re dealing with torn expansion joints and sealant applied over old sealant that has lifted, we can help, on shrunken worktop sealant, failed movement joints and leaking tray & enclosure joints alike.
For a place like Lady, the job is the same as anywhere: everything old is cut out, the joints are cleaned and dried, and new sealant or grout goes in. The journey and access are simply planned in advance.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something isn’t right with it in that time, tell us and we’ll put it right.

Work for landlords, hotels and businesses
For anyone letting property in or around Lady, several properties can go on one quote. Send us the addresses and the work at each, and photos by email help.
From a single let to a portfolio, you get the same standard of work: old sealant fully removed, joints prepared properly and a one-year guarantee.
DIY sealant or a professional job?
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. New silicone won’t bond to old, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. Everything old must be removed first.
A DIY attempt does not rule out a professional job. We remove it and do the joint properly, so just mention it when you contact us.
Surface by surface
Movement & expansion joints
Joints filled with mortar, grout or rigid filler cannot move. We rake that out where it can be removed and seal with a flexible product.
Over-sealed & botched joints
A thick bead smeared across tiles often hides mould or gaps. Taking it back shows what’s underneath, and then we reseal it neatly.
Remedial sealant around Lady
Lady 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. Work on the islands has to be planned around ferry crossings and the weather, so give us as much notice as you can.
Whether the job is in Lady itself or nearby, the right material for each joint matters as much as a neat finish.
Lady is about 24 miles north-east of Kirkwall, in the Orkney Islands. Our applicators cover remedial sealant for homes and businesses in Lady and the surrounding area. Lady is one of 51 towns and villages in the Orkney Islands we cover.
Work in KW17 is quoted and booked the same way as anywhere else. Close by, we work in Broughtown (2 miles west), Wardhill (10 miles south), Pierowall (16 miles west), Rackwick (16 miles west) and Brinian (18 miles south-west). For island and remote addresses, a little more planning is needed.
Local landmarks in Lady
Well-known places in the area include Warsetter Farm Museum (0.8 miles south-west). Not far away are Loch of Baasley.
Common problems we fix in Lady
Even good sealant ages. Mould grows into the silicone, the surface hardens and the bead shrinks. At that point it has to come out.
People generally contact us after spotting one of these:
- Movement joints that have split or pulled away
- Leaks that keep coming back after resealing
- Products that weren’t meant for the joint
- Over-sealed joints coming away
In and around Lady, as anywhere, good remedial sealant starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint.
Questions to ask before booking
- Whether they’re fully insured
- Which sealant they’ll use, and why
- The length of the guarantee
- Is the old sealant removed completely?
Questions from Lady
Is Lady in your area for remedial sealant?
Yes. We work across all of Scotland, and Lady is part of that. Just email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk with a few details of the job.
Is remedial sealant in Lady guaranteed?
All our work, in Lady and everywhere else, comes with a 12-month guarantee. We’re also fully insured and ARBOMaster approved.
How long should I leave it?
Cure times vary by product and the conditions. Before we leave, we’ll tell you the cure time.
Do you do commercial work?
Yes, regularly. We can plan bigger jobs in stages.
What does remedial sealant cost?
Every job is different, so each one gets its own quote. For a quick quote, drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk with a short description of the job.
Is there any odour?
That depends on the sealant. Some smell for a while, some hardly at all, and any smell fades as they cure.
How long will it take to strip and reseal the joint?
The number of joints and layers decides it. You will have a timescale before any work begins.
Do you have insurance?
Yes. We’re fully insured.
How to look after the new joints
To keep the joints looking good and working properly:
- Find out why the sealant failed first
- Never seal over old silicone
- Act on a lifting corner straight away
- Keep movement joints clear of mortar and paint
Go easy on the new sealant: no scraping, scouring pads or harsh chemicals.
Do not keep resealing the same joint. Get the cause found first, otherwise the next attempt will fail too.
Why it’s worth doing now in Lady
Mould under a bead can’t be reached by cleaning. The layers have to come out. In a place like Lady, small leaks are easy to put off, but water through a failed joint keeps working away until it’s fixed.
Rather than a set price list, we look at what your job involves: how many joints, what’s in them now and how we reach them. The price is agreed before we begin.
Why choose Mr Mastic in Lady
- Approved under the ARBOMaster scheme
- Full insurance on every job
- White, clear, grey or coloured to suit, where the product allows

What we do, step by step
There’s no need to move everything out before we come, only the area right around the joints. We protect the rest, and the job takes a few hours, depending on how many layers have to come out for a typical job. Somewhere like Lady may be a longer drive, and the journey is planned ahead. Mention tracks, gates, ferries or anything else about the route.
- Surrounding tiles, trays and frames are protected first.
- The botched or failed sealant is cut away completely.
- We clean and degrease the joint and look for signs of movement or water.
- New sealant goes in once the joint is dry, and is tooled smooth.
- We give you the cure time and explain what caused the failure.
Getting ready for the visit
- For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can
- Keep children and pets away from the work area
- Mention any tricky access
