What we’re called out for in Pitlochry
Movement tears sealant that is not designed for it. A bath that flexes, a tray that rocks or a building joint that opens and closes split any bead that is too stiff or too thin.
The problems people normally mention when they call include:
- Sealant applied over old sealant that has lifted
- Sealant peeling off a dusty or damp surface
- Leaks that keep coming back after resealing
- Mould trapped under a layer of silicone
If you live in an older home near Pitlochry Church of Scotland, walls and floors in older homes can move, and sealant and grout show it first.

How we handle remedial sealant in Pitlochry
Decorators’ caulk in a shower, bathroom silicone on a window, a rigid filler in a movement joint fails however neatly it’s applied. We take it out and use a sealant made for that joint. If you’re dealing with caulk or the wrong sealant used in a wet area and thick, messy sealant smeared over tiles, we can help, whatever the surface.
Bathrooms in smaller places like Pitlochry work just as hard as those in the cities. Generally soft Scottish water means less limescale, but steam still lets mould into sealant and grout.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you are covered after we have gone.

How to look after the new joints
Good habits help new joints last longer. Our tips:
- Don’t add new sealant on top of old
- Keep bleach and abrasives off the bead
- Do not wait for a small gap to become a leak
- Air the bathroom so the sealant can dry
Keep an eye on the joint at first, especially if movement was the problem. Should anything change, send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk.
Mould under a second layer of sealant keeps growing out of sight. When it finally shows, the whole bead needs to come out.

Can I do it myself?
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.
If you do try it yourself, take your time over the preparation: take out all the old sealant, make sure the joint is clean and dry, and give it the full cure time. If it fails, we can still redo it.

Some leaks around windows come from the wall or the window itself. We check the joint and tell you if it looks to be something else.
