Signs you need remedial sealant in Stor
How a joint is built matters as much as the product. Sealant packed too deep, or stuck to the back of the joint as well as the sides, cannot stretch, so it tears when the joint moves. Backing sets the depth and stops that.
Keep an eye out for these signs:
- Sealant that came away because the surface wasn’t prepared
- Torn expansion joints
- Black mould underneath the bead
- Wide, uneven beads that look worse than the old ones
For jobs in and around Stor, choosing the right material for each joint is as important as a tidy finish.

Remedial sealant in Stor
Decorators’ caulk in a shower, bathroom silicone on a window, a rigid filler in a movement joint won’t last, however tidy it looks. Out it comes, and in goes a sealant suited to the job. We work on leaking tray & enclosure joints, mouldy bath & shower sealant and failed movement joints, and common reasons people get in touch are movement joints that have split or pulled away and thick, messy sealant smeared over tiles.
In and around a place like Stor, homes range from older stone-built properties to newer houses. Older buildings can move a little, and that shows first in cracked grout and split sealant.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything isn’t right with it, send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk.

Bathrooms and kitchens in Stor
Stor 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 covers keeping fixtures and fittings in a reasonable state of repair. Failed sealant around a bath or shower is worth sorting between tenancies.
Around Stor, as everywhere, remedial sealant is only as good as the preparation behind it.
Stor (Gaelic: Stoer) is in Highland. Anywhere in IV27, we can carry out remedial sealant at your property. Our Highland coverage runs to 253 places, and Stor is one of them.
Work in IV27 works the same way as everywhere else we cover. We also cover the places around Stor: Stoer (1 mile south-west), Lochinver (5 miles south-east), An Druim Beag (5 miles north-east), Scourie More (11 miles north-east) and Scourie (12 miles north-east). If you are somewhere remote, a little more planning is needed, so let us know when you get in touch.

How we quote for remedial sealant
Some jobs are bigger than they look, and some smaller. The main factors:
- How easy the joints are to reach
- The number and length of the joints
- The product the joint needs
- When we can work, for business premises
Commercial jobs are quoted on the same basis as homes: how much there is to do, how we reach it and what it needs, along with when we can work on site. Ask us for a quote and we will explain what it covers.
What we need to know
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote. When you ask for a quote, tell us:
- Pictures of the joints, sent by email
- Any access issues, like height or stairs
- Roughly how big the job is
- The type of property
If you’re in Stor and need remedial sealant, email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk. Tell us what the problem is and where, and we will agree the price before any work begins.
What we do, step by step
The work is kept neat and contained to the area we are working on, so you can carry on as normal. The job usually takes a few hours, depending on how many layers have to come out. Outdoor work around Stor depends on the weather, as sealant needs a dry surface, so external jobs may need to move if the day turns wet. Indoor work goes ahead whatever the weather.
- First we work out whether the problem is the sealant, movement or a leak.
- Old beads and residue are removed down to clean surfaces.
- We treat any mould and dry the joint thoroughly.
- We reseal with a product suited to the joint, backed where needed.
- The joint is tooled and you’re told about anything else we found.
How to prepare
- On commercial sites, let us know about site rules
- Tell us about access, such as stairs, a lift or high-level joints
- Tell us if parking is tricky
How to get a quote
A good description makes for an accurate quote. Tell us where the job is, what’s wrong and how much there is.

Questions from Stor
Is Stor within the area you cover?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. We work across all of Scotland. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
Is there a guarantee on remedial sealant in Stor?
All our work, in Stor and everywhere else, comes with a 12-month guarantee. We’re fully insured, and an ARBOMaster approved applicator.
Can you remove sealant that’s been put over old sealant?
Yes. We remove every layer; over-sealing fails because silicone won’t bond to silicone.
Can you do several jobs on one visit?
Yes. Just list everything you need and we will quote it together.
Can landlords and businesses book you?
Yes, regularly. Several properties can go on one quote.
Do you do commercial work?
Yes. Hotels, offices and other businesses use us.
How long will it take to strip and reseal the joint?
A little longer than a standard reseal. Most jobs take a few hours.
Can I choose the sealant colour?
We help you choose a colour that suits. The product needed can limit the range.
What sealant work cannot fix
To be straight with you, some problems need a different trade:
- A tray or worktop that needs refixing first
- Failed tanking or loose tiles behind the sealant
- A tray or bath that is cracked
Not sure which it is? You can email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk and we will tell you honestly before booking.
Where we work in Stor
- Expansion joints
- Failed movement joints
- Botched or over-sealed joints
- Leaking tray & enclosure joints
- Mouldy bath & shower sealant
- Shrunken worktop sealant
Different surfaces, different methods
Leaking trays & enclosures
A shower that leaks after resealing often has a tray that moves or an enclosure sealed on the wrong side. We check both before we reseal.
Movement & expansion joints
Movement joints in floors, walls and façades need a flexible sealant set to the right depth. Failed sealant is cut out, backing rod or tape is fitted and the joint resealed.

Can I do it myself?
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions, then guaranteed for a year.
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and does not move well, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.
Looking after it afterwards
Looking after new joints is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Use a soft cloth, not a scourer, on silicone
- Get the cause of a repeat leak found before resealing
- Don’t point over movement joints
- Never seal over old silicone
If the joint ever needs renewing, have it cut out, not sealed over. New silicone doesn’t bond to old, so the old bead should always come out first.
Mould trapped under over-sealed joints spreads unseen. When it finally shows, the whole bead needs to come out.
