About our remedial sealant in Little Dunkeld
Decorators’ caulk in a shower, bathroom silicone on a window, a rigid filler in a movement joint fails however neatly it’s applied. We take it out and use a sealant made for that joint. If you have floor or wall movement joints that have failed and a shower that leaks however often it’s resealed, we can help, whatever the surface.
Bathrooms in smaller places like Little Dunkeld work just as hard as those in the cities. Generally soft Scottish water means less limescale, but steam still lets mould into sealant and grout.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you’re not left on your own once the job is done.

What happens on the day
Every visit runs the same way: we check the joints, mask and protect the surrounding surfaces, carry out the job and clear up. It generally takes a few hours for most joints, depending on how much old sealant has to come out. For a place like Little Dunkeld, longer drives are planned in advance. Mention tracks, gates, ferries or anything else about the route.
- We start by checking the joint for movement, leaks and the reason it failed.
- Every layer of old sealant is cut and cleaned out.
- Next, any mould is treated and the joint dried.
- Where the joint moves, backing and a flexible sealant suited to the movement go in.
- The new joint is tooled neatly and we explain anything else we found.
How to prepare
- Move anything stored near the joints
- Keep children and pets away from the work area
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive

Advice
Aftercare tips
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Check ceilings under showers for marks
- Get the cause of a repeat leak found before resealing
- Check trays and worktops don’t move
- Deal with small splits early
Go easy on the new sealant: a mild cleaner and a soft cloth, with no blades or scourers.
Mould under a second layer of sealant keeps growing out of sight. When it finally shows, the whole bead needs to come out.
Honest limits
Sealant isn’t the answer to every problem, and we’d rather say so up front. It won’t solve:
- Cracks in the fitting rather than the joint
- A tray or worktop that needs refixing first
- Tiles that have come away from the wall
Not sure which it is? You can drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

Questions from Little Dunkeld
Do you work for hotels and guest houses in Little Dunkeld?
Yes, hotels and guest houses are among the places we work. A room-by-room programme keeps most rooms in use while the work goes on.
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Dunkeld & Birnam station?
Yes, we work for landlords and agents. You can email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk with the address and a few details, and we’ll give you a fixed price before work begins.
Can you match the sealant colour?
Most of the time, yes. We’ll explain which colours are available.
Does someone need to be in?
For indoor joints, yes, someone needs to let us in. Once we have agreed the job, you do not need to watch us work.
Is remedial work guaranteed?
Yes. Our one-year guarantee covers the work, and we’re ARBOMaster approved.
Are you insured?
Yes. We are fully insured.
Where is Mr Mastic based?
We’re a Crawley-based firm, with over 20 years’ experience. We work across South East England, London and Scotland.
How long does remedial resealing take?
Longer than a simple reseal, because every layer has to come out. Most jobs take a few hours, and we confirm the time with your quote.
DIY versus a professional finish
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that’s fine. We cut it out and start again.
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.
What the job involves on each surface
Leaking trays & enclosures
When failed joints are the cause, they’re all cut out and renewed, including the screen profile and tray edges.
Over-sealed & botched joints
A botched joint can hide two or three layers of sealant, and silicone residue is cleaned off the tiles too. New sealant needs a fully clean surface.
Why it’s worth doing now in Little Dunkeld
It’s easy to scratch acrylic, enamel or an uPVC frame cutting out old sealant, and the residue left behind stops the next bead bonding. Careful removal is most of a remedial job. Out of town in Scotland, exposed walls take a lot of weather, and once water gets behind a failed joint, damp in stone or harled walls is slow to dry out.
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.

Common problems we fix in Little Dunkeld
One of the commonest remedial jobs is sealant on top of sealant. Silicone doesn’t bond to silicone, so the top layer lifts and water and mould collect between the two.
It’s worth asking for a quote if you see:
- Sealant applied over old sealant that has lifted
- Sealant peeling off a dusty or damp surface
- Kitchen joints letting water behind the worktop
- Decorators’ caulk around a bath or shower
For landlords with property near Dunkeld & Birnam station, a joint that keeps failing is best fixed properly while the property is empty.
Questions to ask before you book

What remedial sealant looks like in Little Dunkeld
Little Dunkeld has hotels and guest accommodation nearby. Hotel bathrooms are part of our work as well as homes, and can be done room by room. In Scotland, private landlords have to meet the Repairing Standard, which covers keeping fixtures and fittings in a reasonable state of repair. Failed sealant around a bath or shower is worth sorting between tenancies.
Homes close to Little Dunkeld Parish Church include some older properties, and timber floors under older bathrooms flex, so joints need a sealant that moves with them.
