Remedial sealant for homes and businesses in Shiskine
Decorators’ caulk in a shower, bathroom silicone on a window, a rigid filler in a movement joint fails however neatly it’s applied. We take it out and use a sealant made for that joint. We work on mouldy bath & shower sealant, shrunken worktop sealant and leaking tray & enclosure joints, and the jobs we see most are kitchen joints letting water behind the worktop and a shower that leaks however often it’s resealed.
For a place like Shiskine, the job is the same as anywhere: old material out, joints cleaned and dried, and a fresh, even finish. The journey and access are simply planned in advance.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something is not right with it in that time, tell us and we will put it right.

What affects the cost of remedial sealant
The quote reflects the job in front of us. We take into account:
- The old material and how stubborn it is
- The amount of work
- When we can work, for business premises
- How many areas need sealing
Instead of a standard rate, we price the job in front of us: how many joints, what’s in them now and how we reach them. The price is agreed before we begin.

How the visit works
Our applicators work methodically: protect, prepare, seal, tidy. For most jobs that takes a few hours, depending on how many layers have to come out and we leave things clean and tidy. In smaller Scottish places, parking is normally less of an issue than access and distance. Tell us how to find the property and how to reach the work.
- The failure is looked at first, so we know whether it’s sealant, movement or water from elsewhere.
- Each layer is cut out and the residue cleaned off.
- Mould is treated and the joint dried.
- The right product goes in, with backing where the joint moves.
- The joint is tooled and you are told about anything else we found.
Before we arrive
- Tell us if parking is tricky
- Tell us about access, such as stairs, a lift or high-level joints
- Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work

Advice
Why act early in Shiskine
Adding more sealant is the usual quick fix, and it rarely works. It cannot bond to what’s underneath, so the leak carries on and there’s now more to remove. In a place like Shiskine, small leaks are easy to put off, but water behind a failed seal does the most damage when nobody’s watching.
Doing several joints on one visit is generally more efficient than separate visits, so tell us about everything that needs sealing. You’ll get one clear quote for the whole job.

Remedial sealant around Shiskine
Shiskine is close to 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. In Scotland, private landlords have to meet the Repairing Standard, which includes keeping fixtures and fittings in reasonable repair. Failed sealant around a bath or shower is worth sorting between tenancies.
In and around Shiskine, as anywhere, good remedial sealant starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint. In the older streets around St Molios Church, walls and floors in older homes can move, and sealant and grout show it first.

FAQs for Shiskine
Is there a guarantee on remedial sealant in Shiskine?
Every job comes with our 12-month guarantee, wherever it is. We are also fully insured and ARBOMaster approved.
Do you cover smaller places like Shiskine?
Yes, we do. We work across all of Scotland, from towns to the smallest places. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
Where are you based?
Our base is in Crawley, West Sussex, and we cover South East England, London and all of Scotland.
Can you work on commercial sites?
Yes. We can plan bigger jobs in stages to suit the site.
Someone resealed my shower and it’s leaking again. Can you help?
Yes. There’s usually a reason: sealant over sealant, movement or another leak, and we deal with the cause first.
Do you hold any approvals?
Yes. We are approved under the ARBOMaster scheme, the approved applicator scheme for Arbo sealants.
Can you strip sealant from an acrylic tray safely?
Yes. We avoid heavy scraping and use the right cleaner for each surface, so the new sealant bonds cleanly.
How long will it take to strip and reseal the joint?
Allow a few hours, depending on how many layers have to come out. We’ll give you a timescale when we quote.
When it is not the sealant
We will always be straight with you, so here’s what new sealant will not do:
- Cracks in the fitting rather than the joint
- A tray or worktop that needs refixing first
- Leaks from a shower valve, waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
Not sure which it is? You can email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk and we’ll tell you honestly.

DIY versus a professional finish
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. Silicone doesn’t stick to old silicone, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. All the old material has to come out first.
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.
Keeping the joints in good condition
After the cure time, these simple habits help:
- Ask why a joint failed before redoing it
- Report a tray that rocks or a worktop that lifts
- Keep movement joints clear of mortar and paint
- Use a soft cloth, not a scourer, on silicone
Ventilation keeps mould away from the new bead: use the extractor or open a window after showering.
Leaks through failed sealant grow over time. Each use pushes more water behind the bead, into whatever is behind or below. Sorting it early limits the damage.
