About our remedial sealant in Ruisgarry
If a joint has been resealed and is leaking again, it’s worth a proper look. Send pictures when you send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk, and say how long ago it was last done. If you have decorators’ caulk around a bath or shower and a shower that leaks however often it’s resealed, we can put it right, on leaking tray & enclosure joints, mouldy bath & shower sealant and expansion joints alike.
Bathrooms in smaller places like Ruisgarry work just as hard as those in the cities. Limescale is less of a problem with Scotland’s generally soft water, but mould still takes hold in damp sealant and grout.
You are covered for a year from the day we finish. If anything isn’t right with it, drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk.

The process
Most of a good job is in the preparation, and we don’t rush it. Every joint is cleaned and dried before new material goes in. All told, the work takes a few hours for a typical bath or shower, longer where several layers have been applied. For a place like Ruisgarry, longer drives are planned in advance. Tell us about tracks, gates, a ferry crossing or anything unusual about getting there.
- The failure is looked at first, so we know whether it’s sealant, movement or water from elsewhere.
- Old beads and residue are removed down to clean surfaces.
- We treat any mould and dry the joint thoroughly.
- The right product goes in, with backing where the joint moves.
- We finish neatly and point out anything that needs another trade.
How to prepare
- For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can
- Tell us about any water getting in
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children

What affects the cost of remedial sealant
We quote each job individually. These are the things that affect it:
- The type of sealant required
- Any mould that needs treating
- Access and height
- Any working-time requirements on site
Commercial jobs are quoted on the same basis as homes: the amount of work, how we reach it and what it needs. Ask us for a quote and we’ll go through it with you.
Helping us quote
When you call or email, these details help:
- What’s wrong with the joints now
- Whether it’s a home or a business
- The address or postcode of the job
- Roughly how big the job is
We don’t publish a price list, as no two jobs are quite the same. Instead, we send you a clear quote for your job. To get started, email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk.
Aftercare tips
Looking after new joints is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Find out why the sealant failed first
- Never fill a movement joint with mortar or grout
- Run the fan after every shower
- Check trays and worktops do not move
Where we’ve pointed out another fault, have it put right, or the new joint may fail again.
Mould under a second layer of sealant keeps growing out of sight. When it finally shows, the whole bead needs to come out.
Common problems we fix in Ruisgarry
Joints that move need sealant that can stretch. A bath that flexes, a tray that rocks or a building joint that opens and closes will split a rigid or thin bead.
Most people get in touch after spotting something like this:
- Movement joints that have split or pulled away
- Worktop sealant that has shrunk and split
- Sealant that came away because the surface wasn’t prepared
- Black mould underneath the bead
Around Ruisgarry, as everywhere, remedial sealant is only as good as the preparation behind it.
Before you book anyone
- How the surfaces are prepared before sealing
- When the joint can take water or movement
- What the quote includes, VAT included or not
- Whether they’re fully insured
Why deal with it now?
Adding more sealant is the usual quick fix, and it rarely works. It cannot bond to what’s underneath, leaving the leak in place and one more layer to cut out later. In a place like Ruisgarry, small leaks are easy to put off, 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. The price is agreed before we begin.

Your questions about remedial sealant in Ruisgarry
Can you do remedial sealant in Ruisgarry?
Yes, Ruisgarry is within the area we cover. We work across all of Scotland. You can drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk and let us know what needs doing.
What guarantee comes with remedial sealant in Ruisgarry?
All our work, in Ruisgarry and everywhere else, comes with a 12-month guarantee. We are also fully insured and ARBOMaster approved.
How long before the joint can be used?
Cure times vary by product. Before we leave, we will tell you the cure time.
Are you ARBOMaster approved?
Yes. We’re an ARBOMaster approved applicator.
Can you take off two layers of silicone?
Yes. It’s slower than a standard reseal, because every layer has to come out cleanly, but it’s the only way the new joint will last.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Of course. Doing several areas at once is generally more efficient, so mention them when you ask for a quote.
Can I do it myself?
For a simple, easy-to-reach joint, a careful DIYer can do a reasonable job. Most DIY failures come from sealing over old material, wet joints or too much sealant.
What sealant do you use?
The product depends on the job: anti-fungal sanitary silicone in wet areas, and other sealants where joints move or face the weather. We use products from Arbo and Everbuild.
Surface by surface
Leaking trays & enclosures
Repeat shower leaks often come from a tray that flexes or an enclosure sealed in the wrong place. Both are checked before any new sealant goes on.
Worktops & kitchens
A loose worktop splits its sealant. It needs fixing down first, which we will point out.
Ruisgarry homes and their sealant
Ruisgarry is close to the coast. Coastal homes, holiday lets and guest houses can see heavy bathroom use in busy months, which wears sealant and grout out faster than in a quiet home. Island jobs need planning around ferries and the weather, so give us as much notice as you can.
Whether the job is in Ruisgarry itself or nearby, the right material for each joint matters as much as a neat finish.
