How we handle remedial sealant in Lochranza
If a joint has been resealed and is leaking again, it’s worth a proper look. Send photos when you drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk. We work on shrunken worktop sealant, failed movement joints and expansion joints, and the jobs we see most are thick, messy sealant smeared over tiles and a shower that leaks however often it’s resealed.
In and around a place like Lochranza, 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, it’s backed by our 12-month guarantee in Lochranza and across North Ayrshire.

The process
When we arrive, we start by going over the job with you, so you know exactly what we are doing. Surfaces next to the work are protected before any work begins. Most jobs take a few hours for a typical bath or shower, longer where several layers have been applied. In smaller Scottish places, parking is usually 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.
- All the old sealant comes out, including any layers underneath.
- Next, any mould is treated and the joint dried.
- Where the joint moves, backing and a flexible sealant suited to the movement go in.
- Finally we finish the joint and talk you through what we found.
Before we arrive
- On commercial sites, let us know about site rules
- Keep children and pets away from the work area
- Let us know about parking restrictions
How to get a quote
Asking for a quote is easy: let us know what needs doing and where and its rough size. Photos by email help us understand the job, and we’ll take it from there.

Your questions about remedial sealant in Lochranza
Is there a guarantee on remedial sealant in Lochranza?
All our work, in Lochranza and everywhere else, comes with a 12-month guarantee. We’re also fully insured and ARBOMaster approved.
Do you cover smaller places like Lochranza?
Yes, Lochranza is covered. We work across all of Scotland, from towns to the smallest places. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
Someone sealed over the old bead. Can you fix it?
Yes. It’s slower than a standard reseal, because every layer has to come out cleanly, but it’s the only way the new joint will last.
Should I try DIY first?
You can, for simple jobs. The key is preparation: remove all the old material and work on a clean, dry joint. If it doesn’t work out, we can redo it.
Is there any odour?
It depends on the product. Some products have a noticeable smell, others very little.
How long does the work take?
The number of joints and layers decides it. You will have a timescale before any work begins.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Of course. Combining jobs makes good use of the visit, so mention them when you ask for a quote.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are often happy for the work to be arranged.
Do you need remedial sealant in Lochranza?
A lot of failed joints have been sealed over rather than replaced. Silicone does not bond to silicone, so the new layer peels, and damp and mould settle between them.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- Movement joints that have split or pulled away
- Mould trapped under a layer of silicone
- Worktop sealant that has shrunk and split
- Thick, messy sealant smeared over tiles
In and around Lochranza, as anywhere, good remedial sealant starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint.

Remedial sealant in Lochranza: local notes
Lochranza is within about 1 mile of 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. Private landlords in Scotland must be registered and meet the Repairing Standard, which includes keeping fixtures and fittings in reasonable repair. Tired, leaking sealant is worth putting right before a new tenant moves in.
For an older house near a landmark such as Castlekirk, walls and floors in older homes can move, and sealant and grout show it first.

- Any mould that needs treating

Helping us quote
Photos by email are helpful but not essential. Try to tell us:
- The address or postcode of the job
- Roughly how big the job is
- Pictures of the joints, sent by email
- The type of property
Call for a quick quote, or email us if that is easier. Describe what needs sealing and we’ll explain what’s involved before giving you a price.
Can I do it myself?
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions.
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Lochranza
A neglected joint can let water reach the structure, which is a bigger problem in a rented property. Resealing at the right time is simple maintenance.
Businesses can book us for washrooms, kitchens, offices and more. For commercial premises, we can talk through working times when we quote.
