How we handle remedial sealant in Salen
Decorators’ caulk in a shower, bathroom silicone on a window, a rigid filler in a movement joint fails however neatly it’s applied. Out it comes, and in goes a sealant suited to the job. Common call-outs are for movement joints that have split or pulled away and sealant that came away because the surface wasn’t prepared, on leaking tray & enclosure joints, failed movement joints and botched or over-sealed joints.
Across smaller places in Scotland, homes range from stone and harled cottages to newer houses. Where a building moves, cracked grout and split sealant are usually the first signs.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard.

DIY sealant or a professional job?
Not every job suits DIY: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs need the right product, the right access and the right method.
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, such as a straightforward joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
What else we do in Salen
How the visit works
Most of a good job is in the preparation, so that’s where we spend the time. Joints are cleaned back and dried before anything new goes in. All told, the work takes a few hours for a typical bath or shower, longer where several layers have been applied. Around Salen, distance and access matter more than parking. Let us know how to find you and how to reach the joints, and the visit is planned around that.
- First we find out how and where the joint has failed.
- We strip the joint completely, removing any layers below.
- Next, any mould is treated and the joint dried.
- Moving joints get backing and a flexible sealant to suit.
- We tool the joint and tell you about anything else that needs attention.
Getting ready for the visit
- Clear items away from the joints we are working on
- Mention any tricky access
- Tell us if parking is tricky

Is Salen within the area you cover?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. We work across all of Scotland. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Can landlords and businesses book you?
Yes. We work for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, businesses and hotels across Argyll and Bute.
How long does the work take?
A little longer than a standard reseal. Most jobs take a few hours.
Someone resealed my shower and it’s leaking again. Can you help?
Yes. All the sealant comes out, we find out why it failed, and the joint is resealed properly.
Can you work on commercial sites?
Yes. Commercial and hotel work is a large part of what we do, as well as homes. We can talk about working times when we quote.
Where is Mr Mastic based?
We’re based in Crawley, and we work across South East England, London and Scotland.
Do you have insurance?
Yes. We’re fully insured, and we have been doing sealant work for more than 20 years.
Leave it or put it right?
It’s easy to scratch acrylic, enamel or an uPVC frame cutting out old sealant, and the residue left behind stops the next bead bonding. Careful removal is most of a remedial job. Around Salen, water from a failed joint in an older stone home can soak into timber and plaster.
A failed joint rarely gets cheaper to fix by waiting. If you are unsure, email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk and we will give you an honest view and a quote.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Salen
From a single let to a portfolio, the work is the same standard: the old material taken out, careful preparation and a 12-month guarantee.
Water getting past a failed joint can damage the building, which matters even more when someone else lives there. Resealing at the right time is simple maintenance.
How to look after the new joints
Joint life depends on how it’s used and looked after. Here’s what we suggest:
- Clean sealant with mild products only
- Look for stains below bathrooms now and then
- Find out why the sealant failed first
- Report a tray that rocks or a worktop that lifts
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.
If a joint has failed more than once, stop resealing it. Have someone find out why, otherwise the next attempt will fail too.
What remedial sealant looks like in Salen
Salen is close to 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. 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.
In and around Salen, as anywhere, good remedial sealant starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint. For jobs in and around Salen, choosing the right material for each joint is as important as a tidy finish.

What the job involves on each surface
Mouldy bath & shower sealant
Mould that has grown into silicone does not clean out for good. All of it comes out, and the joint is treated and dried ahead of a new anti-fungal bead.
Worktops & kitchens
A loose worktop splits its sealant. That needs refixing before resealing, which we will point out.
