About our remedial sealant in Portpatrick
Water on the floor does not always mean failed silicone. Cracked trays, leaking wastes and faulty valves often look like a sealant problem. When the fault is elsewhere, we say so instead of resealing for the sake of it. If you have decorators’ caulk around a bath or shower and kitchen joints letting water behind the worktop, we can put it right.
In and around a place like Portpatrick, homes range from older stone-built properties to newer houses. Older buildings can move a little, and that shows first in cracked grout and split sealant.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything is not right with it, email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk.

Why it’s worth doing now in Portpatrick
Remedial work takes longer than a straight reseal, but rarely a lot: it takes a few hours, depending on how many layers have to come out. Compared with chasing the same leak every few months, it’s time well spent. 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: the amount of work, the old material and the access. You’ll know the price before we begin.

What we are called out for in Portpatrick
Movement tears sealant that is not designed for it. Flexing baths, rocking trays and building movement joints split any bead that’s too stiff or too thin.
Common reasons people contact us include:
- Worktop sealant that has shrunk and split
- A second bead peeling off the first
- Leaks that keep coming back after resealing
- Torn expansion joints
In and around Portpatrick, as anywhere, good remedial sealant starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint.

What remedial sealant looks like in Portpatrick
Portpatrick is within about 1 mile of the coast. Near the coast, holiday lets and guest houses can see bathrooms used by one guest after another, which wears sealant and grout out faster than in a quiet home. In Scotland, private landlords have to meet the Repairing Standard, which covers keeping fixtures and fittings in a reasonable state of repair. Failed sealant around a bath or shower is worth sorting between tenancies.
For jobs in and around Portpatrick, choosing the right material for each joint is as important as a tidy finish.

Portpatrick questions
Do you cover Portpatrick for remedial sealant?
Yes. Our work covers the whole of Scotland, and Portpatrick is part of that. Just drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk with a few details of the job.
Is there a guarantee on remedial sealant in Portpatrick?
All our work, in Portpatrick and everywhere else, comes with a 12-month guarantee. We are also fully insured and ARBOMaster approved.
Are you ARBOMaster approved?
Yes. ARBOMaster is the approved applicator scheme for Arbo sealants, and we’re part of it.
What information do you need?
Only a few details: the address or postcode, what’s wrong and any access issues. After that, simply drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk.
Will there be a smell?
Possibly a little. Any smell clears as the sealant cures, and ventilation helps.
Can you match the sealant colour?
Generally, yes. White, clear and grey are common, and other colours are available, and we agree the colour with you before we start.
Can you fix a reseal that hasn’t worked?
Yes, normally. First we check whether the leak is the sealant at all, then the joints are stripped and resealed.
Can you remove old sealant without damaging the bath?
Yes. We cut and lift the old sealant with tools suited to the surface, and the residue is cleaned away. We point out any damage that is already there.
When something else is needed
Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits:
- Tiles that have come away from the wall
- A leaking trap, valve or supply pipe
- A cracked shower tray or bath (that needs repair or replacing)

What we do, step by step

- The botched or failed sealant is cut away completely.
- The joint is degreased and checked for movement and leaks.
- Once dry, a suitable sealant is applied and tooled.

DIY versus a professional finish
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. New silicone will not bond to old, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. All the old material has to come out first.
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 doesn’t work out, we can still put it right.
Quotes for remedial sealant in Portpatrick
