Remedial sealant for homes and businesses in Rubha Ban
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. We’re often asked to deal with a shower that leaks however often it’s resealed and decorators’ caulk around a bath or shower, across expansion joints, leaking tray & enclosure joints and shrunken worktop sealant.
In and around a place like Rubha Ban, homes range from older stone-built properties to newer houses. Where a building moves, cracked grout and split sealant are normally the first signs.
There’s a 12-month guarantee on every job, large or small.

Rubha Ban homes and their sealant
Rubha Ban is close to 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. Private landlords in Scotland must be registered and meet the Repairing Standard, which includes keeping fixtures and fittings in reasonable repair. Failed sealant around a bath or shower is worth sorting between tenancies.
In and around Rubha Ban, as anywhere, good remedial sealant starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint.

How to look after the new joints
To keep the joints looking good and working properly:
- Use a soft cloth, not a scourer, on silicone
- Never seal over old silicone
- Ask why a joint failed before redoing it
- Have loose fittings fixed before resealing
If we’ve found a cause, such as a loose tray or a leaking waste, get it fixed, because the new sealant can’t hold back a problem underneath.
A failing joint rarely gets better on its own. Each use pushes more water behind the bead, into whatever is behind or below. Early action keeps it to a sealant job.

Common questions in Rubha Ban
Is remedial sealant in Rubha Ban guaranteed?
All our work, in Rubha Ban and everywhere else, comes with a 12-month guarantee. We are fully insured, and an ARBOMaster approved applicator.
Will you come out to Rubha Ban?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Our work covers the whole of Scotland, including the islands, where work is planned around ferry crossings. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Is it messy?
No. We work neatly, protect the area around the joints and tidy up afterwards.
Can you fix a reseal that hasn’t worked?
Yes. All the sealant comes out, we find out why it failed, and the joint is resealed properly.
Will the old sealant be removed?
Yes. Sealing over old sealant is the main reason resealing fails early, and it’s something we never do.
Are you an approved applicator?
Yes. We are an ARBOMaster approved applicator, the approved applicator scheme for Arbo sealants.
How long does the work take?
The number of joints and layers decides it. We’ll tell you before work begins.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. We are fully insured.
Do you need remedial sealant in Rubha Ban?
Silicone only bonds to surfaces that are clean and dry. Residue, moisture or dust left in the joint weaken the bond, and the joint starts to come away early.
Keep an eye out for these signs:
- Movement joints that have split or pulled away
- Mould trapped under a layer of silicone
- Sealant peeling off a dusty or damp surface
- Leaks that keep coming back after resealing
For an older house near a landmark such as St Michael's Church, walls and floors in older homes can move, and sealant and grout show it first.

How the visit works
Once we are on site, we check the joints match what you told us. If we find something unexpected, we talk it through with you first. After that, the work takes a few hours, depending on how many layers have to come out. In smaller Scottish places, parking is usually less of an issue than access and distance. Tell us how to find the property and how to reach the work.
- We protect the surfaces around the joint.
- Every layer of failed sealant is stripped out.
- We clean and degrease the joint and look for signs of movement or water.
- New sealant goes in once the joint is dry, and is tooled smooth.
- You get the cure time and our view on why the joint failed.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints
- Tell us about access, such as stairs, a lift or high-level joints
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit

Why act early in Rubha Ban
Stripping out botched sealant adds time to a reseal, but not by much: the work takes a few hours for a typical bath or shower, longer where several layers have been applied. It’s far less disruption than resealing the same joint again and again. In an older home around Rubha Ban, damp from a failed joint can get into timber and plaster, which is a far bigger job than the sealant.
Homes and businesses are quoted the same way: the amount of work, how we reach it and what it needs, along with when we can work on site. Ask us for a quote and we’ll explain what it covers.

When something else is needed
Sealant isn’t the answer to every problem, and we’d rather say so up front. Sealant won’t put right:
- Cracks in the fitting rather than the joint
- Leaks from a shower valve, waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
- Failed tanking or loose tiles behind the sealant
Not sure which it is? You can email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
