Remedial sealant in Portskerra
Not every leak is a sealant leak. 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’re dealing with mould trapped under a layer of silicone and a shower that leaks however often it’s resealed, we can put it right.
A bathroom in a place like Portskerra gets the same daily wear as one in a city flat. Generally soft Scottish water means less limescale, but steam still lets mould into sealant and grout.
There’s a 12-month guarantee on every job.

What affects the quote in Portskerra
Some jobs are bigger than they look, and some smaller. What affects the quote:
- How many areas need sealing
- How much old sealant there is and how hard it is to remove
- Whether the work is at height
- The product the joint needs
The cost reflects the work involved, not a rough estimate. That is why we ask a few questions first and agree the price before starting.

Keeping the joints in good condition
Joint life depends on how it’s used and looked after. We suggest:
- Check ceilings under showers for marks
- Act on a lifting corner straight away
- Clean sealant with mild products only
- Get the cause of a repeat leak found before resealing
Leave the new joint to cure fully before it gets wet or moves: follow the cure time we give you.
Mould trapped under over-sealed joints spreads unseen. By the time it shows through, the joint is well past saving.
What happens on the day
Most of a good job is in the preparation, so that is where we spend the time. Every joint is cleaned and dried before new material goes in. All told, the work takes a few hours for most joints, depending on how much old sealant has to come out. Outdoor work around Portskerra depends on the weather, as sealant needs a dry surface, so an outdoor job can move if the forecast changes. Work indoors is not affected.
- 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.
- The joint is tooled and you are told about anything else we found.
Before we arrive
- Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before

Advice
DIY sealant or a professional job?
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions, then guaranteed for a year.
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that is fine. We cut it out and start again, so just mention it when you contact us.

What sealant work can’t fix
A few problems are outside what sealant work can do:
- Failed tanking or loose tiles behind the sealant
- Sealant in an older building that needs testing for asbestos first
- A cracked shower tray or bath (that needs repair or replacing)
If in doubt, email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk and we’ll say what we think.

- Leaking tray & enclosure joints

- Shrunken worktop sealant

Why it’s worth doing now in Portskerra
Remedial work takes longer than a straight reseal, but not by much: it takes a few hours for a typical bath or shower, longer where several layers have been applied. Compared with chasing the same leak every few months, it’s time well spent. Out of town in Scotland, exposed walls take a lot of weather, and damp in stone or harled walls takes a long time to dry once water gets behind a joint.
No two jobs are quite the same, so we quote each one individually. The number of joints, how easy they are to reach and the sealant needed all make a difference, and we’ll explain the quote if you ask.
