Remedial Sealant in Lìonal

What the job involves on each surface
Windows & doors
Failed frame mastic is often hard, cracked and in several layers. All of it is cut out and the frame and wall cleaned before backing and resealing.
Worktops & kitchens
Old kitchen sealant pulls back from the wall over time. It’s cut out, degreased and resealed in a colour to suit.
About our remedial sealant in Lìonal
With more than 20 years’ experience, our applicators have seen most of the ways sealant can fail. We are fully insured ARBOMaster approved applicators, and remedial work carries our 12-month guarantee. Typical jobs include leaks that keep coming back after resealing and a second bead peeling off the first, across mouldy bath & shower sealant, botched or over-sealed joints and shrunken worktop sealant.
Bathrooms in smaller places like Lìonal work just as hard as those in the cities. Limescale is less of a problem with Scotland’s generally soft water, but mould still takes hold in damp sealant and grout.
Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee.

Bathrooms and kitchens in Lìonal
Lìonal is close to the coast. Coastal homes, holiday lets and guest houses can see heavy bathroom use in busy months, which wears sealant and grout out faster than in a quiet home. Scottish Water supplies are generally soft, so limescale is less of a problem than in hard-water areas. But mould still grows into sealant and grout in a room that doesn’t dry out.
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Lionel School, its toilets, changing areas and kitchens need their sealant renewed like any other building’s.

What affects the cost of remedial sealant
Jobs vary more than people expect. What affects the quote:
- Working hours on commercial sites
- Which sealant suits the joint
- Any mould that needs treating
- How easy the joints are to reach
Leaving a failed joint normally makes the job bigger, not smaller, as water and mould keep getting in. If you are unsure, drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk and we will give you an honest view and a quote.
What we need to know
What to tell us when you ask for a quote:
- The type of property
- The address or postcode of the job
- The rough size of the job
- Whether it has been sealed before
Call for a quick quote, or send an email if you’d rather. Tell us about the joints that need doing and we will explain what’s involved.
Should I try it myself first?
If you do try it yourself, take your time over the preparation: take out all the old sealant, make sure the joint is clean and dry, and give it the full cure time. If it fails, we can still redo it.
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and doesn’t move well, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.
How to look after the new joints
Simple care keeps the joints in good condition. Our advice:
- Get the cause of a repeat leak found before resealing
- Have loose fittings fixed before resealing
- Act on a lifting corner right away
- Run the fan after every shower
Keep the room ventilated: use the extractor or open a window after showering.
Movement joints that have split let water into the structure, and the longer it’s left, the more the joint edges break down. Resealing while the edges are sound is simpler.

When to call us in Lìonal
Products get mixed up: acrylic caulk in a wet area, a general-purpose sealant on a moving joint, or an acetoxy silicone on natural stone or some metals. Each fails in its own way.
Common reasons people contact us are:
- Black mould underneath the bead
- Decorators’ caulk around a bath or shower
- Beads that never stuck properly
- Worktop sealant that has shrunk and split
Around Lìonal, as everywhere, remedial sealant is only as good as the preparation behind it.
