How we handle remedial sealant in Locheport
In Locheport, as anywhere, remedial jobs tend to look alike: sealant over sealant, mould under the bead, leaks that come back and movement joints that have split. We strip each one back and start from scratch. We are often asked to deal with torn expansion joints and worktop sealant that has shrunk and split, across expansion joints, leaking tray & enclosure joints and mouldy bath & shower sealant.
For a place like Locheport, the job is the same as anywhere: everything old is cut out, the joints are cleaned and dried, and new sealant or grout goes in. The journey and access are simply planned in advance.
All our work comes with a 12-month guarantee, wherever you are in Na h-Eileanan Siar.

Locheport homes and their sealant
Locheport 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. Work on the islands has to be planned around ferry crossings and the weather, so give us as much notice as you can.
In and around Locheport, as anywhere, good remedial sealant starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint.

What affects the cost of remedial sealant
There’s no set price list, because jobs vary so much. What we look at:
- The amount of work
- The old material and how stubborn it is
- Whether there’s mould to deal with
- The number of rooms or windows
Some things make a job bigger or smaller: the old material and how easily it comes out, whether mould needs treating, and whether the work is at height. We take all of that into account in your quote.

Locheport questions
Do you cover smaller places like Locheport?
Yes. Locheport is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. Our work covers the whole of Scotland, including the islands, where work is planned around ferry crossings. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Do you cover Locheport for remedial sealant?
Yes, Locheport is within the area we cover. We work across all of Scotland. Just send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk with a few details of the job.
Will you leave a mess?
Not at all. The area is protected while we work and cleaned up afterwards.
Can you fix a reseal that hasn’t worked?
Yes. First we check whether the leak is the sealant at all, then strip and reseal the joints.
What happens if the problem is the tray or the plumbing?
We will tell you. If it’s a cracked tray, a failed valve or a leaking waste, resealing won’t fix it, so we won’t pretend it will.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes, we can. Several rooms, windows or areas can go on one quote.
How long will it take to strip and reseal the joint?
The number of joints and layers decides it. You’ll have a timescale before any work begins.
Can you strip sealant from an acrylic tray safely?
Yes, with care. The old bead is cut and lifted with tools that suit the surface, then clean off the residue. We point out any damage that’s already there.

Aftercare tips
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Have loose fittings fixed before resealing
- Do not point over movement joints
- Do not wait for a small gap to become a leak
- Get the cause of a repeat leak found before resealing
Go easy on the new sealant: no scraping, scouring pads or harsh chemicals.
Mould under a second layer of sealant keeps growing out of sight. By the time it shows through, the joint is well past saving.
What the job involves on each surface
Mouldy bath & shower sealant
Repeat mould generally points to a damp, poorly aired room. We’ll reseal and tell you if extraction looks to be the issue.
Movement & expansion joints
Some movement joints have been filled with mortar or grout. Where it can be raked out, we replace it with flexible sealant.
When to call us in Locheport
Using the wrong product is a common cause: caulk where it gets wet, rigid sealant where things move, or an acetoxy silicone on a surface it can mark. None of them last.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Gaps opening along the back of the worktop
- Caulk or the wrong sealant used in a wet area
- Movement joints that have split or pulled away
- Sealant applied over old sealant that has lifted
Whether the job is in Locheport itself or nearby, the right material for each joint matters as much as a neat finish.

For landlords and businesses

Water getting past a failed joint can damage the building, which is a bigger problem in a rented property. Keeping joints in good order is simple maintenance that we can handle for you.
Honest limits
We will always be straight with you, so here’s what new sealant won’t do:
- A cracked shower tray or bath (that needs repair or replacing)
- A leaking trap, valve or supply pipe
- A tray or worktop that needs refixing first
If you’re not sure, just email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.
