Different surfaces, different methods
Mouldy bath & shower sealant
Mould often spreads under the bead as well as through it. We treat the exposed joint once the bead is out.
Movement & expansion joints
A sealant stuck to the back of the joint can’t stretch. Backing stops that, letting the sealant flex between the two faces.
Remedial sealant in Scalasaig
Some sealant jobs aren’t 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 need stripping out. We work on leaking tray & enclosure joints, shrunken worktop sealant and mouldy bath & shower sealant, and the jobs we see most are a shower that leaks however often it’s resealed and dark patches showing through the sealant.
A bathroom in a place like Scalasaig gets the same daily wear as one in a city flat. 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, send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk.

DIY sealant or a professional job?
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and does not move well, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.
Not every job suits DIY: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas need the right product, the right access and the right method.
Looking after it afterwards
After the cure time, these simple habits help:
- Act on a lifting corner right away
- Don’t point over movement joints
- Have loose fittings fixed before resealing
- Never seal over old silicone
Ventilation keeps mould away from the new bead: use the extractor or open a window after showering.
Warning signs: sealant lifting at the ends, a second bead visible on top of the first, black mould under the silicone, or stains below a bathroom. Each one is worth getting looked at.
Common questions in Scalasaig
Is there a guarantee on remedial sealant in Scalasaig?
Every job comes with our one-year guarantee, wherever it is. We’re also fully insured and ARBOMaster approved.
Will you come out to Scalasaig?
Yes, Scalasaig is covered. We work across all of Scotland, from towns to the smallest places. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
Does someone need to be in?
For indoor joints, yes, someone needs to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Will the old sealant be removed?
Yes, every time. New silicone doesn’t stick to old silicone, so the joint is cleaned back first.
What does remedial sealant cost?
We don’t publish prices, because the cost depends on the job: its size, the old material, access and the product needed. You’ll get a clear quote before work begins.
Do you have insurance?
Yes. Mr Mastic is fully insured, and we’ve been doing sealant work for more than 20 years.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes, we can. Several rooms, windows or areas can go on one quote.
Can I do it myself?
Sometimes. The key is preparation: remove all the old material and work on a clean, dry joint. We can always put it right if it fails.
Bathrooms and kitchens in Scalasaig
Scalasaig is within about 1 mile of the coast. Coastal homes, holiday lets and guest houses can see heavy bathroom use in busy months, and sealant and grout that work that hard wear out sooner. Private landlords in Scotland must be registered and meet the Repairing Standard, which covers keeping fixtures and fittings in a reasonable state of repair. Tired, leaking sealant is worth putting right before a new tenant moves in.
In and around Scalasaig, as anywhere, good remedial sealant starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint. In the older streets around Scalasaig Parish Church, walls and floors in older homes can move, and sealant and grout show it first.

Your quote is based on your job. We look at:
- The size of the job
- When we can work, for business premises
- Whether the work is at height
- Mould in or behind the old joints
Commercial jobs are quoted on the same basis as homes: the amount of work, how we reach it and what it needs, along with when we can work on site. Call for a quick quote and we will explain what it covers.
Helping us quote
To make quoting easier, let us know:
- The problem you’ve noticed
- Roughly how big the job is
- Any access issues, like height or stairs
- If it’s domestic, commercial or a hotel
Quotes start with a quick conversation. Tell us what’s wrong, where it is and how much there is, and we will explain how we’d tackle it. When it suits you, send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk.
What sealant work cannot fix
Honest advice matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what sealant cannot fix:
- A tray or bath that’s cracked
- Water damage behind tiles that needs a tiler
- A leaking trap, valve or supply pipe
If in doubt, drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk and we will say what we think before booking.

How it works
You don’t need to clear the whole room or building before we come, just the space around the work. We protect the rest, and the work takes a few hours for a typical bath or shower, longer where several layers have been applied for a typical job. For a place like Scalasaig, longer drives are planned in advance. Tell us about tracks, gates, a ferry crossing or anything unusual about getting there.
- Surrounding tiles, trays and frames are protected first.
- Every layer of failed sealant is stripped out.
- The joint is degreased and checked for movement and leaks.
- Once dry, a suitable sealant is applied and tooled.
- You get the cure time and our view on why the joint failed.
Before we arrive
- Mention any tricky access
- Clear items away from the joints we are working on
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children
