Lochinver: your questions answered
Will you come out to Lochinver?
Yes, we do. Our work covers the whole of Scotland, and smaller places are part of that. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
Do you cover Lochinver for remedial sealant?
Yes, Lochinver is within the area we cover. We work across all of Scotland. Just email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk with a few details of the job, and we’ll give you a clear quote.
Can failed expansion joints be resealed?
Yes. Backing sets the depth and stops the sealant sticking to the back, which lets it stretch.
Can you take off two layers of silicone?
Yes. We remove every layer; over-sealing fails because silicone won’t bond to silicone.
Are you fully insured?
Yes, we’re fully insured.
Can I choose the sealant colour?
Usually, yes. White, clear and grey are common, and other colours are available, and we will agree it with you first.
Is there any odour?
Some sealants have a smell while they cure, which fades as it sets. Ventilation helps.
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.

Surface by surface
Leaking trays & enclosures
A cracked tray, failed valve or leaking waste needs a different fix. We will tell you what we find.
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.
Bathrooms and kitchens in Lochinver
Lochinver is close to the coast. Near the coast, holiday lets and guest houses can see bathrooms used by one guest after another, which wears sealant and grout out faster than in a quiet home. In Scotland, private landlords have to 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.
Around Lochinver, as everywhere, remedial sealant is only as good as the preparation behind it.

When to call us in Lochinver
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. Each fails in its own way.
Common reasons people contact us are:
- Repeat leaks from the same joint
- Caulk or the wrong sealant used in a wet area
- Black mould underneath the bead
- Sealant that came away because the surface wasn’t prepared
For jobs in and around Lochinver, choosing the right material for each joint is as important as a tidy finish.
Questions to ask before you book
- How hidden problems are handled
- What product goes in the joint
- Whether they’re fully insured
- Is VAT in the price?
The process
We work through the job in order: protect, prepare, seal, tidy. Typically it takes a few hours for most joints, depending on how much old sealant has to come out, and the area is left clean. In smaller Scottish places, parking is normally less of an issue than access and distance. Tell us how to find the property and how to reach the work, and the visit is planned around that.
- First we find out how and where the joint has failed.
- We strip the joint completely, removing any layers below.
- We clean the joint, treat any mould and let it dry.
- We use the right backing and sealant for any joint that moves.
- Finally we finish the joint and talk you through what we found.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any sign-in or site rules at work premises
- Clear the area around the work
- Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints

Work for landlords, hotels and businesses
In hotels, rooms out of use cost money, so we plan the work room by room around your bookings where we can. We have worked in hotels as well as homes and businesses.
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, what’s needed and the access arrangements.
When it isn’t the sealant
Some problems need a builder, plumber or other trade rather than us:
- Old mastic in a building from before 2000 that should be checked for asbestos before it’s disturbed
- A tray or bath that’s cracked
- Tiles that have come away from the wall
If in doubt, send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk and we’ll say what we think.

How we quote for remedial sealant
Jobs vary more than people expect. The main factors:
- Mould in or behind the old joints
- How many areas need sealing
- The product the joint needs
- Whether the work is at height
Some things make a job bigger or smaller: how much old sealant there is and how stubborn it is, any mould to treat, and whether the work is at height. Your quote takes all of that into account.
Asking for a quote
Photos help, but a description is a good start. Try to tell us:
- Access, such as stairs, a lift or height
- Whether it’s a home or a business
- What the problem is, such as mould, gaps, leaks or cracking
- Whether it has been sealed before
For a quick quote, get us on the phone, or send an email if you’d rather. Tell us about the joints that need doing and we’ll explain what’s involved and send you a clear quote.
DIY versus a professional finish
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions.
Not every job suits DIY: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs need the right product, the right access and the right method.
