- Sealant applied over old sealant that has lifted
- Movement joints that have split or pulled away
- Dark patches showing through the sealant
Different surfaces, different methods
Movement & expansion joints
Bonding on three sides is a common reason movement joints tear. Backing rod or bond-breaker tape prevents it, letting the sealant flex between the two faces.
Windows & doors
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.
Remedial sealant in Reiss, done properly
Some sealant jobs are not a simple reseal, because someone has already had a go. Silicone laid over silicone, smears across tiles, the wrong product in a moving joint or mould trapped underneath all have to come out before the joint can be done properly. We work on botched or over-sealed joints, failed movement joints and leaking tray & enclosure joints, and common reasons people get in touch are mould trapped under a layer of silicone and a second bead peeling off the first.
In and around a place like Reiss, homes range from older stone-built properties to newer houses. Where a building moves, cracked grout and split sealant are usually the first signs.
Each job carries a 12-month guarantee.

Common questions in Reiss
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Wick station?
Yes. We work for landlords and letting agents as well as householders, and several properties can be quoted together. Just send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk with the address and what needs doing, and we will give you a clear price.
Do you cover Reiss for remedial sealant?
Yes. Our work covers the whole of Scotland, and Reiss is part of that. Just drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk with a few details of the job, and we’ll give you a clear price.
How long before the joint can be used?
It depends on the product and the conditions. We tell you how long to leave it before we go.
Does someone need to be in?
That depends on where the joints are. Inside work needs someone to give us access, and for outside work we will agree access with you when we book.
Do you hold any approvals?
Yes. Mr Mastic is an ARBOMaster approved applicator.
Will there be a smell?
It depends on the product. Some smell for a while, some hardly at all, and any smell fades as they cure.
Can you take off two layers of silicone?
Yes. We cut out all the layers and clean off the film, before resealing with a single bead.
Do you fix expansion and movement joints?
Yes. Backing sets the depth and stops the sealant sticking to the back.
Honest limits
Sealant isn’t the answer to every problem, and we’ll tell you before we start. Sealant will not put right:
- Plumbing leaks behind walls or under trays
- Older mastics that may need an asbestos check before removal
- A bath, tray or worktop that moves until it’s properly fixed
If in doubt, send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk and we’ll say what we think.
What we seal
- Mouldy bath & shower sealant
- Expansion joints
- Failed movement joints
- Leaking tray & enclosure joints
- Shrunken worktop sealant
- Botched or over-sealed joints
Leave it or put it right?
Hidden water does the most damage: wet floors, stained ceilings and swollen worktops. Dealing with the joint now is a small job by comparison. Exposed walls in smaller Scottish places take a lot of wind and rain, and once water gets behind a failed joint, damp in stone or harled walls is slow to dry out.
What you pay reflects the work, not a rough estimate. That is why we ask about the job first and agree the price before starting.
Why us?
- Experience in homes, commercial sites and hotels
- Anti-fungal sanitary silicone in wet areas
- We never seal over old sealant
- Arbo and Everbuild products
How it works
At the end, we look at the finished work together and tell you how long to leave it. The visit itself usually takes a few hours, depending on how many layers have to come out, depending on the amount of work. Outside jobs in Reiss need a dry day, because sealant will not bond to a wet joint, so an outdoor job can move if the forecast changes. Indoor work goes ahead whatever the weather.
- We protect the surfaces around the joint.
- 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.
- We give you the cure time and explain what caused the failure.
Before we arrive
- Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit
- Clear the area around the work

Remedial sealant around Reiss
Reiss is within about 2 miles of the coast. Near the coast, holiday lets and guest houses can see bathrooms used by one guest after another, and sealant and grout that work that hard wear out sooner. Scotland’s water is generally soft, so sealant and grout see less limescale than in much of England. Mould is another matter: a bathroom that stays damp still turns sealant and grout black.
If you let a flat or house near Wick station, botched sealant from a previous quick fix is easier to strip out between tenants.

- Smears and lumps from a botched reseal
