Remedial sealant for homes and businesses in Lochgoilhead
Movement and expansion joints fail when the sealant can’t stretch. The old sealant comes out and backing goes in to control the depth, then a flexible sealant matched to the movement goes in. Typical jobs include decorators’ caulk around a bath or shower and dark patches showing through the sealant, on mouldy bath & shower sealant, shrunken worktop sealant and expansion joints.
In and around a place like Lochgoilhead, homes range from older stone-built properties to newer houses. Older buildings can move a little, and that shows first in cracked grout and split sealant.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something isn’t right with it in that time, tell us and we’ll put it right.

How the visit works
Before we leave, we go over the finished joints with you. The work normally takes a few hours for most joints, depending on how much old sealant has to come out, depending on the amount of work. Somewhere like Lochgoilhead may be a longer drive, and the journey is planned ahead. Tell us about tracks, gates, a ferry crossing or anything unusual about getting there.
- The failure is looked at first, so we know whether it’s sealant, movement or water from elsewhere.
- Old beads and residue are removed down to clean surfaces.
- 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 are told about anything else we found.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know about stairs, lifts or work at height
- Mention any parking rules near the property
- Move anything stored near the joints

Lochgoilhead: your questions answered
Do you cover Lochgoilhead for remedial sealant?
Yes, Lochgoilhead is within the area we cover. We work across all of Scotland. You can email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk and tell us what needs doing, and we will give you a clear quote.
Will you come out to Lochgoilhead?
Yes. Lochgoilhead is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. Our work covers the whole of Scotland. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Can you strip sealant from an acrylic tray safely?
Yes. We take our time over removal, especially on acrylic, enamel and uPVC.
What should I tell you?
A short description and the location, with photos by email if possible. We’ll ask anything else we need to know.
How long will it take to strip and reseal the joint?
A little longer than a standard reseal. For most joints, it’s a few hours, and we confirm the time with your quote.
Do you offer different sealant colours?
Yes. Sealants come in white, clear, grey and other colours for many products, and we agree the colour with you before we start.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, often. Several properties can be quoted together, and between tenancies is a good time for the work.
My shower still leaks after a reseal. Can you sort it?
Yes. There’s generally a reason: sealant over sealant, movement or another leak, and we deal with the cause first.
Work for landlords, hotels and businesses
Letting agents often deal with us directly. Tell us the address, the job and how access works and we will give you a quote.
Water getting past a failed joint can damage the building, which matters even more when someone else lives there. Resealing at the right time is simple maintenance.
Keeping the joints in good condition
Aftercare is simple:
- Use a soft cloth, not a scourer, on silicone
- Look for stains below bathrooms now and then
- Always have old sealant cut out, not covered
- Report a tray that rocks or a worktop that lifts
Give the new sealant its full cure time: follow the cure time we give you.
Warning signs: sealant lifting at the ends, a second bead visible on top of the first, black mould under the silicone, or stains below a bathroom. Any of them means it’s time for remedial work.
Common problems we fix in Lochgoilhead
Joint depth matters. A bead bonded on three sides, or laid too thick, cannot flex, so it tears when the joint moves. Backing rod or bond-breaker tape prevents it.
People usually contact us after spotting something like this:
- Over-sealed joints coming away
- Decorators’ caulk around a bath or shower
- Kitchen joints letting water behind the worktop
- Repeat leaks from the same joint
In the older streets around Church of The Three Holy Brethren, walls and floors in older homes can move, and sealant and grout show it first.

Bathrooms and kitchens in Lochgoilhead
Lochgoilhead is within about 1 mile of the coast. Near the coast, holiday lets and guest houses can see bathrooms used by one guest after another, and sealant and grout that work that hard wear out sooner. Private landlords in Scotland must be registered and 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.

DIY sealant or a professional job?
A DIY attempt doesn’t rule out a professional job. We cut it out and start again, so just mention it when you contact us.
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 doesn’t work out, we can still put it right.

How the job changes by surface
Windows & doors
A frame that keeps leaking may not be the mastic. We check the joint and tell you if it looks to be something else.
Leaking trays & enclosures
Where the joints are the problem, every bead is stripped and resealed with anti-fungal sanitary silicone, tray edges and screen profiles included.
What we cannot put right
In fairness, some problems need a different trade:
- Old mastic in a building from before 2000 that should be checked for asbestos before it’s disturbed
- A tray or worktop that needs refixing first
- Leaks from a shower valve, waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
If in doubt, send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk and we’ll say what we think before you book.
Joints and surfaces we work on
