Lochmaddy homes and their sealant
Lochmaddy 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, which wears sealant and grout out faster than in a quiet home. 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 does not dry out.
For jobs in and around Lochmaddy, choosing the right material for each joint is as important as a tidy finish. In and around Lochmaddy, as anywhere, good remedial sealant starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint.

Remedial sealant in Lochmaddy
If a joint fails again and again, something is causing it. A tray that moves, a worktop that isn’t fixed, the wrong sealant or water getting in elsewhere will defeat even a perfect bead. Finding that cause comes before any new sealant. If you have leaks that keep coming back after resealing and beads that never stuck properly, we can help, on mouldy bath & shower sealant, expansion joints and botched or over-sealed joints alike.
In and around a place like Lochmaddy, 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.
Whatever the size of the job, you get the same 12-month guarantee in Lochmaddy and across Na h-Eileanan Siar.

What else we do in Lochmaddy
What the job involves on each surface
Leaking trays & enclosures
If the tray is cracked, or the leak is from the valve or waste, sealant will not fix it. We’ll tell you what we find.
Mouldy bath & shower sealant
Where mould keeps coming back, ventilation is usually part of the cause. Along with resealing, we will mention if the room needs better ventilation.
FAQs for Lochmaddy
Can you do remedial sealant in Lochmaddy?
Yes. Our work covers the whole of Scotland, and Lochmaddy is part of that. You can send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk and let us know what needs doing, and we’ll give you a clear price.
Will you come out to Lochmaddy?
Yes, we do. We work across all of Scotland, islands included, and smaller places are part of that. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
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.
Do you take out the old sealant first?
Yes. All of the old material is cut out and the joint cleaned before resealing.
Can I choose the sealant colour?
Generally, yes. White, clear and grey are common, and other colours are available, and we agree the colour with you before work begins.
Do you work for letting agents?
Yes, often. Several properties can go on one quote, and between tenancies is a good time for the work.
Can I do it myself?
Some simple jobs can be done by a careful DIYer. The usual mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using too much.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. More than one area can go on one quote.
What affects the cost of remedial sealant
You’ll get a clear quote before we start. It’s based on:
- The number of rooms or windows
- Whether the work is at height
- Which sealant suits the joint
- Mould in or behind the old joints
Rather than a set price list, we look at what your job involves: the amount of work, the old material and the access. The price is agreed before we begin.
What to tell us for a quote
When you call or email, these details help:
- The rough size of the job
- Any access issues, like height or stairs
- If it’s domestic, commercial or a hotel
- Where the job is, and your postcode
If you’re in Lochmaddy and need remedial sealant, email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk. Tell us what the problem is and where, and you will get a clear quote before any work starts.
Keeping the joints in good condition
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Do not wait for a small gap to become a leak
- Check ceilings under showers for marks
- Clean sealant with mild products only
- Never seal over old silicone
Ventilation keeps mould away from the new bead: run the fan during and after showers, or open a window.
Signs to act on: peeling layers, mould showing through the bead, leaks after showering or cracks in a movement joint. Each one is worth getting looked at.
Should I try it myself first?
Not every job suits DIY: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
If you do try it yourself, take your time over the preparation: remove every trace of old sealant, clean and dry the joint, and follow the product’s cure time. If it fails, we can still redo it.
Why deal with it now?
Ripping out a bathroom isn’t normally needed. If the bath, tray and tiles are sound, remedial resealing normally puts it right. If they’re not, we will tell you. When the nearest tradesperson is a drive away, it’s tempting to leave a small leak, but water through a failed joint keeps working away until it’s fixed.
Every job is a little different, so we quote each one individually. Size, access and the product the joint needs all make a difference.

How the visit works
On the day, we start by going over the job with you, so you know exactly what we are doing. We protect the surfaces around the joints before work begins. The work normally takes a few hours for most joints, depending on how much old sealant has to come out. For a place like Lochmaddy, longer drives are planned in advance. Mention tracks, gates, ferries or anything else about the route.
- 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
- For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can
- Mention any tricky access
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before
