How we handle remedial sealant in Strathpeffer
If a joint has been resealed and is leaking again, it’s worth a proper look. Send pictures when you drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk, along with when it was last resealed. We work on mouldy bath & shower sealant, failed movement joints and leaking tray & enclosure joints, and the jobs we see most are gaps opening along the back of the worktop and products that weren’t meant for the joint.
A bathroom in a place like Strathpeffer 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.
All of our work is guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you are.

Do you need remedial sealant in Strathpeffer?
One of the commonest remedial jobs is sealant on top of sealant. New silicone can’t stick to the old bead, so the new layer peels, and damp and mould settle between them.
The problems people normally mention when they call include:
- A second bead peeling off the first
- A shower that leaks however often it’s resealed
- Black mould underneath the bead
- Movement joints that have split or pulled away
Homes close to St Anne's Episcopal Church include some older properties, and bathrooms in older houses have often been refitted more than once, with sealant laid over sealant.

Keeping the joints in good condition
Good habits help new joints last longer. Our tips:
- Report a tray that rocks or a worktop that lifts
- Keep the room well ventilated
- Do not wait for a small gap to become a leak
- Always have old sealant cut out, not covered
Clean gently: a mild cleaner and a soft cloth, with no blades or scourers.
A split movement joint lets rain into walls and floors, and the longer it’s left, the more the joint edges break down. Resealing while the edges are sound is simpler.
Quotes for remedial sealant in Strathpeffer
The price is agreed before any work begins. It takes into account:
- The size of the job
- The old material and how stubborn it is
- Mould in or behind the old joints
- The number of rooms or windows
Some things make a job bigger or smaller: how much old sealant there is and how stubborn it is, whether mould needs treating, and whether the work is at height. Your quote takes all of that into account.

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.
Worktops & kitchens
If a worktop moves when you lean on it, the sealant will keep splitting. It needs fixing down first, and we’ll tell you if we find it.
