How we handle remedial sealant in Port Askaig
Decorators’ caulk in a shower, bathroom silicone on a window, a rigid filler in a movement joint won’t last, however tidy it looks. We take it out and use a sealant made for that joint. We work on expansion joints, botched or over-sealed joints and shrunken worktop sealant, and people most often call us about products that weren’t meant for the joint and mould trapped under a layer of silicone.
A bathroom in a place like Port Askaig gets the same daily wear as one in a city flat. Limescale is less of a problem with Scotland’s generally soft water, but mould still takes hold in damp sealant and grout.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard.

Why act early in Port Askaig
Spraying mould remover on a sealed-over joint doesn’t reach what’s underneath. Removal is the only way to get at it. When the nearest tradesperson is a drive away, it’s tempting to leave a small leak, but water behind a failed seal does the most damage when nobody’s watching.
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. The price is agreed before we begin.

How to look after the new joints
To keep the joints looking good and working properly:
- Air the bathroom so the sealant can dry
- Get the cause of a repeat leak found before resealing
- Have loose fittings fixed before resealing
- Never seal over old silicone
Leave the new joint to cure fully before it gets wet or moves: follow the cure time we give you.
Movement joints that have split let water into the structure, and left long enough, the edges of the joint can crumble. A joint with sound edges is far easier to reseal.

Common questions in Port Askaig
Is remedial sealant in Port Askaig guaranteed?
Every job comes with our one-year guarantee, wherever it is. We are also fully insured and ARBOMaster approved.
Is Port Askaig within the area you cover?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Our work covers the whole of Scotland. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Can you fix a reseal that hasn’t worked?
Yes. First we check whether the leak is the sealant at all, then the joints are stripped and resealed.
What information do you need?
The location, the problem and the rough size of the job. If you can, email a few pictures.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. Mr Mastic is fully insured, and we have been doing sealant work for more than 20 years.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
Will you leave a mess?
Very little: the area around the joints is protected first, and we tidy up before we go.
Does someone need to be in?
It depends on the job. Inside work needs someone to give us access, while outside work can sometimes be arranged differently.
DIY sealant or a professional job?
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. New silicone will not bond to old, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. Everything old must be removed first.
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.
Common problems we fix in Port Askaig
All sealant wears out eventually. Over the years it shrinks, hardens and gets colonised by mould, especially in damp, poorly aired rooms. At that point it has to come out.
The most common problems we see are:
- Mould trapped under a layer of silicone
- Over-sealed joints coming away
- Floor or wall movement joints that have failed
- Worktop sealant that has shrunk and split
Around Port Askaig, as everywhere, remedial sealant is only as good as the preparation behind it.
Before you book anyone
- Who does the work, and how experienced they are
- When the joint can take water or movement
- What happens if they find a problem under the old sealant
- How the surfaces are prepared before sealing
What happens on the day
There’s no need to move everything out, only the area right around the joints. We protect the rest, and the work takes a few hours, depending on how many layers have to come out in most cases. Somewhere like Port Askaig may be a longer drive, and the journey is planned ahead. Tell us about tracks, gates, a ferry crossing or anything unusual about getting there.
- Surrounding tiles, trays and frames are protected first.
- Every layer of failed sealant is stripped out.
- The joint is degreased and checked for movement and leaks.
- New sealant goes in once the joint is dry, and is tooled smooth.
- We give you the cure time and explain what caused the failure.
Preparing for the visit
- Keep children and pets away from the work area
- Move anything stored near the joints
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before
