How we handle remedial sealant in Pierowall
Two decades of sealant work means we recognise most failures quickly. We are fully insured ARBOMaster approved applicators, and remedial work carries our one-year guarantee. We are often asked to deal with smears and lumps from a botched reseal and a shower that leaks however often it’s resealed, across expansion joints, botched or over-sealed joints and leaking tray & enclosure joints.
Across smaller places in Scotland, homes range from stone and harled cottages to newer houses. Where a building moves, cracked grout and split sealant are generally the first signs.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything is not right with it, email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk.

How long should I leave it?

How long does remedial resealing take?

What remedial sealant looks like in Pierowall
Pierowall is close to the coast. Coastal homes, holiday lets and guest houses can see heavy bathroom use in busy months, and sealant and grout that work that hard wear out sooner. In Scotland, private landlords have to meet the Repairing Standard, which covers keeping fixtures and fittings in a reasonable state of repair. Tired, leaking sealant is worth putting right before a new tenant moves in.
In and around Pierowall, as anywhere, good remedial sealant starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint. In the older streets around Baptist Church, walls and floors in older homes can move, and sealant and grout show it first.
Pierowall is about 24 miles north of Kirkwall, in the Orkney Islands. Pierowall gets the same service as everywhere we cover: old sealant removed completely, careful preparation and a 12-month guarantee. Our the Orkney Islands coverage runs to 51 places, Pierowall among them.

- A bath, tray or worktop that moves until it’s properly fixed
If you are not sure, just send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk and we will give you a straight answer.

Related advice
Why act early in Pierowall
DIY removal often leaves scratches and a film of residue, and the residue left behind stops the next bead bonding. Careful removal is most of a remedial job. In a place like Pierowall, small leaks are easy to put off, but water through a failed joint keeps working away until it’s fixed.
The cost reflects the work involved, not a rough estimate. That’s why we ask about the job first and agree the price before starting.

Can I do it myself?
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and doesn’t move well, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. Silicone doesn’t stick to old silicone, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. All the old material has to come out first.
How the job changes by surface
Worktops & kitchens
Shrunken worktop sealant leaves a gap that lets water into the back edge. We strip it, degrease the joint and reseal in a colour to suit.
Over-sealed & botched joints
A thick bead smeared across tiles often hides mould or gaps. We strip it back so we can see the joint.
