How we handle remedial sealant in Nairn
Not every leak is a sealant leak. A cracked tray, a failed shower valve or a leaking waste can look just the same. When the fault is elsewhere, we say so instead of resealing for the sake of it. We work on leaking tray & enclosure joints, mouldy bath & shower sealant and botched or over-sealed joints, and people most often call us about sealant peeling off a dusty or damp surface and thick, messy sealant smeared over tiles.
Scottish water is generally soft, so homes in a town like Nairn see less limescale than many parts of England. Mould is a different story: a steamy bathroom still turns sealant and grout black.

Why act early in Nairn
Another bead over the top will not fix a failed joint. It cannot bond to what’s underneath, leaving the leak in place and one more layer to cut out later. For landlords in Nairn, damp and leaks can fall under the Repairing Standard. Sorting failed joints early is easier than dealing with a tenant’s complaint.
Rather than a set price list, we price the job in front of us: how many joints, what’s in them now and how we reach them. The price is agreed before we begin.

For landlords and businesses
Water getting past a failed joint can damage the building, which is a bigger problem in a rented property. Keeping joints in good order is simple maintenance.
From a single let to a portfolio, the work is the same standard: old sealant fully removed, joints prepared properly and a 12-month guarantee.
FAQs for Nairn
Do you cover Nairn for remedial sealant?
Yes. Our work covers the whole of Scotland, and Nairn is part of that. Just drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk with a few details of the job.
Do you take on hotel work around Nairn?
Yes, hospitality work, including hotels, is part of what we do. Jobs can be programmed room by room, with out-of-hours working possible to arrange.
Is it messy?
No. We protect the surfaces around the joints, and we clear up the old sealant and our materials before we leave.
Which products do you use?
Products from Arbo and Everbuild, among others, chosen to suit the joint. We will tell you what we’re using and why.
Do I have to be there?
Access is agreed with you when the job is booked. For inside work, that normally means someone being in.
Can you remove sealant that is been put over old sealant?
Yes. Stripping layered sealant takes longer than a normal reseal, but it’s what makes the new bead last.
Do the sealants smell?
Possibly a little. It fades as the sealant cures, and ventilation helps.
Do you hold any approvals?
Yes. ARBOMaster is the approved applicator scheme for Arbo sealants, and we are part of it.
When it isn’t the sealant
Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits:
- Leaks from a shower valve, waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
- Failed tanking or loose tiles behind the sealant
- Cracks in the fitting rather than the joint
If you’re not sure, just send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk and we will give you a straight answer.
Where we work in Nairn
- Mouldy bath & shower sealant
- Expansion joints
- Failed movement joints
- Shrunken worktop sealant
- Botched or over-sealed joints
- Leaking tray & enclosure joints
Keeping the joints in good condition
After the cure time, these simple habits help:
- Get the cause of a repeat leak found before resealing
- Check trays and worktops do not move
- Keep an eye on the ceiling below the bathroom
- Use a soft cloth, not a scourer, on silicone
Go easy on the new sealant: no scraping, scouring pads or harsh chemicals.
Do not keep resealing the same joint. Get the cause found first, or the next bead will go the same way.
Different surfaces, different methods
Worktops & kitchens
Old kitchen sealant pulls back from the wall over time. It’s cut out, degreased and resealed in a colour to suit.
Movement & expansion joints
A movement joint must be able to stretch. We remove the failed sealant, fit backing and reseal with a low-modulus product.
What happens on the day
We work through the job in order: protection first, then preparation, sealing and a tidy-up. For most jobs that takes a few hours, depending on how many layers have to come out. For a job in Nairn, tell us where the work is, how to get in and where to park. Outside work depends on the weather, as sealant needs a dry surface.
- First we work out whether the problem is the sealant, movement or a leak.
- Each layer is cut out and the residue cleaned off.
- We treat any mould and dry the joint thoroughly.
- The right product goes in, with backing where the joint moves.
- We finish neatly and point out anything that needs another trade.
How to prepare
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive
- Keep children and pets away from the work area
- Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints

Sealant needs a clean, dry surface with no grease on it. Soap film, dust, damp or old residue stop it gripping, so it starts lifting sooner than it should.
It’s worth asking for a quote if you see:
- Leaks that keep coming back after resealing
- Worktop sealant that has shrunk and split
- Sealant peeling off a dusty or damp surface
- Caulk or the wrong sealant used in a wet area
If you look after a building such as Nairn Academy, its toilets, changing areas and kitchens need their sealant renewed like any other building’s.
