Scrabster Remedial Sealant
Problem with your failed sealant joints in Scrabster? We cut out the old, prepare the joints and apply the right sealant, and the work is guaranteed for a year.

- Smears and lumps from a botched reseal
- Torn expansion joints
Remedial sealant in Scrabster, done properly
The wrong product in the wrong joint will not last, however tidy it looks. Out it comes, and in goes a sealant suited to the job. We’re often asked to deal with wide, uneven beads that look worse than the old ones and a shower that leaks however often it’s resealed, across shrunken worktop sealant, botched or over-sealed joints and mouldy bath & shower sealant.
Bathrooms in smaller places like Scrabster work just as hard as those in the cities. Generally soft Scottish water means less limescale, but steam still lets mould into sealant and grout.
You are covered for a year from the day we finish. If there’s a problem with it, please drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk.

Keeping the joints in good condition
So the new joints stay in good condition:
- Never fill a movement joint with mortar or grout
- Ask why a joint failed before redoing it
- Clean sealant with mild products only
- Air the bathroom so the sealant can dry
Go easy on the new sealant: a mild cleaner and a soft cloth, with no blades or scourers.
Mould trapped under over-sealed joints spreads unseen. By the time it shows through, the joint is well past saving.
How the job changes by surface
Worktops & kitchens
Kitchen joints hold grease and residue, so cleaning takes longer than in a bathroom.
Windows & doors
Frames resealed over the top end up with hard, layered mastic. All of it is cut out and the frame and wall cleaned.
Can I do it myself?
If you’re set on DIY, put the effort into preparation: remove every trace of old sealant, clean and dry the joint, and follow the product’s cure time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still put it right.
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that’s fine. We remove it and do the joint properly.
Why deal with it now?
Spraying mould remover on a sealed-over joint doesn’t reach what’s underneath. The layers have to come out, so the joint can be treated and resealed. Exposed walls in smaller Scottish places take a lot of wind and rain, and damp in stone or harled walls takes a long time to dry once water gets behind a joint.
A few things move the cost up or down: how much old sealant there is and how stubborn it is, any mould to treat, and whether we need extra access for height. We take all of that into account in your quote.

When to call us in Scrabster
Water from somewhere else can ruin a good seal. A slow leak behind the tiles soaks the joint from the back, and the sealant lifts or goes mouldy from underneath.
Any of these means the joints need attention:
- Kitchen joints letting water behind the worktop
- Wide, uneven beads that look worse than the old ones
- Sealant peeling off a dusty or damp surface
- Mould trapped under a layer of silicone
If you let a flat or house near Thurso station, a joint that keeps failing is best fixed properly while the property is empty.

Your questions about remedial sealant in Scrabster
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Thurso station?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. Just send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk and tell us about the property, and we’ll send you a clear quote.
Do you cover Scrabster for remedial sealant?
Yes. We work across all of Scotland, and Scrabster is part of that. Just send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk with a few details of the job, and we’ll send you a clear quote.
What sealant do you use?
The product depends on the job: sanitary silicone where it gets wet, and sealants suited to movement or weather elsewhere. Brands we use include Arbo and Everbuild.
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.
How do I get a quote for remedial sealant in Scrabster?
Every job is different, so each one gets its own quote. To get one, email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk with a short description of the job.
Can you remove old sealant without damaging the bath?
Yes. The old bead is cut and lifted with tools that suit the surface, and the residue is cleaned away. Any existing damage is pointed out before work begins.
What if the leak is not the sealant?
You will hear it from us. A cracked tray, faulty valve or leaking waste needs a different trade, so we won’t pretend it will.
How long before the joint can be used?
It depends on the product and the temperature. We tell you how long to leave it before we go.
Work for landlords, hotels and businesses
Mouldy or split sealant often shows up at the end of a tenancy. We can quote for more than one property at once.
Housing providers, facilities teams and property managers book us too. Several sites can be quoted together, and we’re fully insured for the work.
Remedial sealant around Scrabster
Scrabster 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. In Scotland, private landlords have to meet the Repairing Standard, which covers keeping fixtures and fittings in a reasonable state of repair. Failed sealant around a bath or shower is worth sorting between tenancies.
If you look after a building such as Thurso High School, washroom and kitchen sealant there needs the same care as at home, and schools and businesses are part of our work as well as homes.
