Remedial sealant in Loans of Tullich: local notes
Loans of Tullich 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. 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.
In and around Loans of Tullich, as anywhere, good remedial sealant starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint.

About our remedial sealant in Loans of Tullich
Getting old sealant out properly is slow, careful work. Every layer is cut out, the residue cleaned off and the joint degreased, without scratching tiles, trays or frames. Only then can new sealant bond. We’re often asked to deal with sealant applied over old sealant that has lifted and caulk or the wrong sealant used in a wet area, on shrunken worktop sealant, failed movement joints and mouldy bath & shower sealant.
Bathrooms in smaller places like Loans of Tullich 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.
A 12-month guarantee comes as standard.

Do you need remedial sealant in Loans of Tullich?
How a joint is built matters as much as the product. Sealant packed too deep, or stuck to the back of the joint as well as the sides, can’t stretch, and tears at the first real movement. Backing sets the depth and stops that.
The most common problems we see are:
- Floor or wall movement joints that have failed
- Sealant applied over old sealant that has lifted
- Black mould underneath the bead
- A shower that leaks however often it’s resealed
If you let a flat or house near Fearn station, botched sealant from a previous quick fix is easier to strip out between tenants.

Surface by surface
Over-sealed & botched joints
A botched joint can hide two or three layers of sealant, and silicone residue is cleaned off the tiles too. Only a clean joint will take a new bead.
Mouldy bath & shower sealant
Black mould inside the bead won’t scrub out. All of it comes out, and the joint is treated and dried before anti-fungal sanitary silicone goes in.

Why act early in Loans of Tullich
Remedial work takes longer than a straight reseal, but rarely a lot: the work takes a few hours for most joints, depending on how much old sealant has to come out. Compared with chasing the same leak every few months, it’s time well spent. In an older home around Loans of Tullich, damp from a failed joint can get into timber and plaster.
Instead of a standard rate, we price the job in front of us: the amount of work, the old material and the access. The price is agreed before we begin.
Why Loans of Tullich clients choose us
- A sealant colour to suit the surroundings

What else we do in Loans of Tullich
What happens on the day
On the day, we look over the joints with you first. Surfaces next to the work are protected before any work starts. Most jobs take a few hours, depending on how many layers have to come out. Outside jobs in Loans of Tullich need a dry day, because sealant won’t bond to a wet joint, so an outdoor job can move if the forecast changes. Work indoors is not affected.
- The failure is looked at first, so we know whether it’s sealant, movement or water from elsewhere.
- Each layer is cut out and the residue cleaned off.
- Mould is treated and the joint dried.
- We reseal with a product suited to the joint, backed where needed.
- The joint is tooled and you’re told about anything else we found.
Before we arrive
- Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints
- Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive

Do you cover smaller places like Loans of Tullich?
Yes. Loans of Tullich is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. Our work covers the whole of Scotland. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
Does someone need to be in?
That depends on where the joints are. Inside work needs someone to give us access.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Of course. Doing several areas at once is generally more efficient, so mention them when you ask for a quote.
Is there any odour?
There can be a smell while the sealant cures, but it fades. Opening a window helps.
Can failed expansion joints be resealed?
Yes. If a joint has been filled with mortar or rigid filler, we rake it out where possible, then the joint is sealed properly.
Do you remove the old sealant?
Yes, every time. New sealant won’t bond properly to old, so any old material comes out before anything new goes in.

Every job is different, so each one gets its own quote. To get one, email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk and tell us what needs doing and where.
