Remedial Sealant in Na h-Eileanan an Iar
Failed sealant joints in Na h-Eileanan an Iar need attention? We remove the old material, prepare the joints and seal them properly, with a 12-month guarantee.
- Products that weren’t meant for the joint
- Black mould underneath the bead
- A shower that leaks however often it’s resealed
How to look after the new joints
Aftercare is simple:
- Act on a lifting corner straight away
- Don’t point over movement joints
- Run the fan after every shower
- Get the cause of a repeat leak found before resealing
Go easy on the new sealant: a mild cleaner and a soft cloth, with no blades or scourers.
If a joint has failed more than once, stop resealing it. Have someone find out why, otherwise the next attempt will fail too.
About our remedial sealant in Na h-Eileanan an Iar
Removing failed sealant is the hardest part of the job. Every layer is cut out, the residue cleaned off and the joint degreased, taking care not to scratch the surfaces around it. New sealant only bonds to a clean, dry joint. We work on expansion joints, leaking tray & enclosure joints and mouldy bath & shower sealant, and the jobs we see most are products that weren’t meant for the joint and black mould underneath the bead.
A bathroom in a place like Na h-Eileanan an Iar gets the same daily wear as one in a city flat. Generally soft Scottish water means less limescale, but steam still lets mould into sealant and grout.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something is not right with it in that time, tell us and we’ll put it right.

What happens on the day
On the day, we look over the joints with you first. Surfaces next to the work are protected before we start. The work generally takes a few hours for a typical bath or shower, longer where several layers have been applied. Outdoor work around Na h-Eileanan an Iar depends on the weather, as sealant needs a dry surface, so external jobs may need to move if the day turns wet. Indoor work goes ahead whatever the weather.
- 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.
- We finish neatly and point out anything that needs another trade.

Advice
Common problems we fix in Na h-Eileanan an Iar
Products get mixed up: acrylic caulk in a wet area, a general-purpose sealant on a moving joint, or an acetoxy silicone on natural stone or some metals. Each fails in its own way.
The most common problems we see are:
- Sealant peeling off a dusty or damp surface
- Caulk or the wrong sealant used in a wet area
- Mould trapped under a layer of silicone
- Kitchen joints letting water behind the worktop
Whether the job is in Na h-Eileanan an Iar itself or nearby, the right material for each joint matters as much as a neat finish.
Questions to ask before booking
- Is the old sealant removed completely?

Why it’s worth doing now in Na h-Eileanan an Iar
A failed seal rarely means a new bathroom. If the bath, tray and tiles are sound, remedial resealing usually puts it right. Where something else has failed, you’ll hear it from us. 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.
Instead of a standard rate, we look at what your job involves: how many joints, what’s in them now and how we reach them. You will know the price before we begin.

How long does the work take?
A little longer than a standard reseal. Most jobs take a few hours, and we confirm the time with your quote.
Can I choose the sealant colour?
Usually, yes. Sealants come in white, clear, grey and other colours, and we will agree it with you first.
I rent my home. Can I book you?

What happens if the problem is the tray or the plumbing?

What should I tell you?
Just the basics: where it is, what you’ve noticed and how we reach it. After that, simply email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk.
Can I do it myself?
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.
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 doesn’t work out, we can still put it right.
