About our remedial sealant in Shiel Bridge
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 are often asked to deal with products that weren’t meant for the joint and gaps opening along the back of the worktop, across expansion joints, failed movement joints and shrunken worktop sealant.
A bathroom in a place like Shiel Bridge gets the same daily wear as one in a city flat. Generally soft Scottish water means less limescale, but steam still lets mould into sealant and grout.
Each job carries a 12-month guarantee.

Aftercare tips
After the cure time, these simple habits help:
- Use a soft cloth, not a scourer, on silicone
- Do not wait for a small gap to become a leak
- Check trays and worktops don’t move
- Run the fan after every shower
Ventilation keeps mould away from the new bead: use the extractor or open a window after showering.
Signs to act on: 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.

What happens if it’s left?
DIY removal often leaves scratches and a film of residue, and any film left behind stops new sealant sticking. Careful stripping is where most of our time goes. Out of town in Scotland, exposed walls take a lot of weather, and once water gets behind a failed joint, damp in stone or harled walls is slow to dry out.
Leaving a failed joint usually makes the job bigger, not smaller, because water and mould keep working on it. If you’re unsure, email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk for an honest opinion and a quote.

Surface by surface
Windows & doors
Frames resealed over the top end up with hard, layered mastic. We remove it all and clean back to sound surfaces before backing and resealing.
Movement & expansion joints
Some movement joints have been filled with mortar or grout. Where it can be raked out, we replace it with flexible sealant.
DIY sealant or a professional job?
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that is fine. We cut it out and start again, so just mention it when you contact us.
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is, then guaranteed for a year.
The process
We keep the work tidy and contained to the area we’re working on, so you can get on with your day. Expect the work to take a few hours for a typical bath or shower, longer where several layers have been applied, and we tell you how long to leave it before we go. Outdoor work around Shiel Bridge depends on the weather, as sealant needs a dry surface, so an outdoor job can move if the forecast changes. Indoor work goes ahead whatever the weather.
- We start by checking the joint for movement, leaks and the reason it failed.
- All the old sealant comes out, including any layers underneath.
- We clean the joint, treat any mould and let it dry.
- We use the right backing and sealant for any joint that moves.
- The new joint is tooled neatly and we explain anything else we found.
How to prepare
- Clear the area around the work
- Tell us about any previous sealing or DIY attempts
- For business premises, tell us about site rules or sign-in
