Laxdale Remedial Sealant
Problem with your failed sealant joints in Laxdale? We cut out the old, prepare the joints and apply the right sealant, with a one-year guarantee.

DIY sealant or a professional job?
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that is fine. We cut it out and start again, so tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, such as a straightforward joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
Remedial sealant in Laxdale
Not every leak is a sealant leak. Cracked trays, leaking wastes and faulty valves often look like a sealant problem. If that’s what we find, we’ll tell you rather than reseal something that won’t fix it. We work on failed movement joints, mouldy bath & shower sealant and shrunken worktop sealant, and the jobs we see most are products that weren’t meant for the joint and repeat leaks from the same joint.
Being further from a city doesn’t change the work: everything old is cut out, the joints are cleaned and dried, and new sealant or grout goes in. We just plan the journey and access beforehand.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something isn’t right with it in that time, tell us and we’ll put it right.

How it works
There’s no need to move everything out, just the space around the work. We protect the rest, and the job takes a few hours, depending on how many layers have to come out in most cases. Somewhere like Laxdale may be a longer drive, and the journey is planned ahead. 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.
- 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.
Getting ready for the visit
- For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can
- Mention any parking rules near the property
- For business premises, tell us about site rules or sign-in

What sealant work cannot fix
We will not take on work that won’t last, so these are the limits:
- Old mastic in a building from before 2000 that should be checked for asbestos before it’s disturbed
- A cracked shower tray or bath (that needs repair or replacing)
- A bath, tray or worktop that moves until it’s properly fixed
If in doubt, drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk and we’ll say what we think before you book.
Joints and surfaces we work on
- Expansion joints
- Leaking tray & enclosure joints
- Botched or over-sealed joints
- Mouldy bath & shower sealant
- Failed movement joints
- Shrunken worktop sealant
Why deal with it now?
Hidden water does the most damage: wet floors, stained ceilings and swollen worktops. By comparison, sorting the joint is quick. In a place like Laxdale, small leaks are easy to put off, but water through a failed joint keeps working away until it’s fixed.
The cost reflects the work involved, not a rough estimate. That’s why we ask a few questions first and agree the price before starting.
Why us?
- A choice of colours where the product allows
- Colour picked to suit the job
- Tidy, careful work

How to look after the new joints
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Keep the room well ventilated
- Use a soft cloth, not a scourer, on silicone
- Don’t add new sealant on top of old
- Do not wait for a small gap to become a leak
Watch the joint over the first few weeks, especially if movement was the problem. Should anything change, drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk.
Movement joints that have split let water into the structure, and the longer it’s left, the more the joint edges break down. A joint with sound edges is far easier to reseal.
For landlords and businesses
From a single let to a portfolio, you get the same standard of work: the old material taken out, careful preparation and a 12-month guarantee.
Mouldy or split sealant often shows up at the end of a tenancy. Several properties can go on one quote.
What remedial sealant looks like in Laxdale
Laxdale is close to the coast. Near the coast, holiday lets and guest houses can see bathrooms used by one guest after another, which wears sealant and grout out faster than in a quiet home. Work on the islands has to be planned around ferry crossings and the weather, so give us as much notice as you can.
Around Laxdale, as everywhere, remedial sealant is only as good as the preparation behind it. Whether the job is in Laxdale itself or nearby, the right material for each joint matters as much as a neat finish.

- Working hours on commercial sites
- The product the joint needs
- How many rooms, windows or areas are involved
- The number and length of the joints
Instead of a standard rate, we price the job in front of us: how many joints, what’s in them now and how we reach them. You will know the price before we begin.
What we need to know
When you contact us, these details help:
- The type of property
- How we’d reach the joints
- Where the job is, and your postcode
- Photos by email, if that is easy
Quotes start with a quick conversation. Tell us what’s wrong, where it is and how much there is, and we will explain how we’d tackle it. When it suits you, send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk.
