Remedial sealant for homes and businesses in Lochawe
Getting old sealant out properly is slow, careful work. Every layer is cut out, the residue cleaned off and the joint degreased, taking care not to scratch the surfaces around it. New sealant only bonds to a clean, dry joint. If you have movement joints that have split or pulled away and worktop sealant that has shrunk and split, we can put it right, whatever the surface.
Across smaller places in Scotland, homes range from stone and harled cottages to newer houses. Older buildings can move a little, and that shows first in cracked grout and split sealant.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there’s a problem with our work within the year, let us know and we will sort it.

Aftercare tips
No joint lasts for ever, but care makes a real difference. Our tips:
- Clean sealant with mild products only
- Keep the room well ventilated
- Keep an eye on the ceiling below the bathroom
- Find out why the sealant failed first
Keep the room ventilated: run the fan during and after showers, or open a window.
Don’t keep resealing the same joint. Have someone find out why, or the next bead will go the same way.
What sealant work can’t fix
A few problems are outside what sealant work can do:
- Failed tanking or loose tiles behind the sealant
- Cracks in the fitting rather than the joint
- Leaks from a shower valve, waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
If you are not sure, just email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk and we will give you a straight answer before booking.

DIY sealant or a professional job?
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. Silicone doesn’t stick to old silicone, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. Everything old must be removed first.
Not every job suits DIY: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
Why act early in Lochawe
Mould under a bead can’t be reached by cleaning. Removal is the only way to get at it. In an older home around Lochawe, damp from a failed joint can get into timber and plaster, which is a far bigger job than the sealant.
Rather than a set price list, we price the job in front of us: how many joints, what’s in them now and how we reach them. The price is agreed before we begin.
Why book with us
- One-year guarantee on every job
- 4.9 on Google from 180+ five-star reviews
- Fully insured
- Anti-fungal silicone where joints get wet

Common questions in Lochawe
I let a flat near Loch Awe station. Can you help?
Yes, we work for landlords and agents. You can drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk with the address and a few details, and we’ll give you a fixed price before we start.
Can you do remedial sealant in Lochawe?
Yes, Lochawe is within the area we cover. Our work covers the whole of Scotland. Just drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk with a few details of the job.
Do the sealants smell?
There can be a smell while the sealant cures, but it fades. Opening a window helps.
Do I have to be there?
We need access to the joints, so we’ll agree that with you when we book. Indoors, that normally means someone at home.
Should I try DIY first?
Sometimes. Preparation is everything: all the old sealant out, and a clean, dry joint. We can always put it right if it fails.
Are you an approved applicator?
Yes. We hold ARBOMaster approved applicator status.
Someone resealed my shower and it’s leaking again. Can you help?
Yes. All the sealant comes out, we find out why it failed, and the joint is resealed properly.
Can you quote for more than one area?
Yes. Several rooms, windows or areas can go on one quote.
Different surfaces, different methods
Worktops & kitchens
If a worktop moves when you lean on it, the sealant will keep splitting. That needs refixing before resealing, and we’ll tell you if we find it.
Windows & doors
Wrong-coloured or messy mastic can be replaced for appearance too, matched to the frame colour.
Remedial sealant in Lochawe: local notes
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. Private landlords in Scotland must be registered and meet the Repairing Standard, which includes keeping fixtures and fittings in reasonable repair. Failed sealant around a bath or shower is worth sorting between tenancies.
If you live in an older home near St Conan’s Kirk, older homes can move a little, which is hard on rigid grout and tired sealant. Rented homes near Loch Awe station change hands often, and failed or mouldy sealant is worth putting right between tenancies, before it turns into a leak.

What we do, step by step
On the day, there’s very little for you to do. Point us to the joints and we’ll get on with it. The work itself takes a few hours for most joints, depending on how much old sealant has to come out from start to finish. Outside jobs in Lochawe need a dry day, because sealant won’t bond to a wet joint, so external jobs may need to move if the day turns wet. Indoor work goes ahead whatever the weather.
- We protect the surfaces around the joint.
- 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.
How to prepare
- On commercial sites, let us know about site rules
- Tell us about any water getting in
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children
