Why deal with it now?
Leaks that are left keep doing damage out of sight: soaked floorboards, ceiling stains below and blown plaster. Dealing with the joint now is a small job by comparison. Around Strathyre, water from a failed joint in an older stone home can soak into timber and plaster.
The cost depends on the size of the job, how much old material has to come out and how easy the joints are to reach. We give a clear quote before any work starts.
Why us?
- We never seal over old sealant
- White, clear, grey or another colour, product permitting
- 20+ years of sealant experience
- Every job guaranteed for a year
How we handle remedial sealant in Strathyre
Movement and expansion joints fail when the sealant cannot stretch. We cut out the failed sealant and set the depth with backing, before resealing with a flexible product suited to the movement. Typical jobs include a shower that leaks however often it’s resealed and gaps opening along the back of the worktop, across leaking tray & enclosure joints, mouldy bath & shower sealant and botched or over-sealed joints.
Bathrooms in smaller places like Strathyre 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.
Every job is covered by our one-year guarantee.

What else we do in Strathyre
When to call us in Strathyre
All sealant wears out eventually. Mould grows into the silicone, the surface hardens and the bead shrinks, faster where ventilation is poor. At that point it has to come out.
These are the problems we are asked about most:
- Sealant that came away because the surface wasn’t prepared
- Kitchen joints letting water behind the worktop
- Repeat leaks from the same joint
- Thick, messy sealant smeared over tiles
In and around Strathyre, as anywhere, good remedial sealant starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint.
What your quote should include
- How the joint is cleaned and prepared
- Who turns up on the day
- Which sealant they’ll use, and why
- Whether they’re fully insured
What affects the cost of remedial sealant
Call for a quick quote. What matters most is:
- The old material and how stubborn it is
- Access and height
- When we can work, for business premises
- Any mould that needs treating
We don’t show prices on the website, because the cost depends so much on the job itself. For a quick quote, please drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk.

- If it’s domestic, commercial or a hotel

Getting a quote is simple: tell us what needs doing and where, and roughly how big it is. Photos by email help us understand the job, and we will take it from there.
The process
There’s no need to move everything out, just the space around the work. Everything nearby is protected, and the job takes a few hours for a typical bath or shower, longer where several layers have been applied for a typical job. Around Strathyre, distance and access matter more than parking. Tell us how to find the property and how to reach the work.
- We start by checking the joint for movement, leaks and the reason it failed.
- All the old sealant comes out, including any layers underneath.
- Next, any mould is treated and the joint dried.
- Where the joint moves, backing and a flexible sealant suited to the movement go in.
- Finally we finish the joint and talk you through what we found.
Preparing for the visit
- For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can
- For business premises, tell us about site rules or sign-in
- Tell us if parking is tricky

Bathrooms and kitchens in Strathyre
Scottish Water supplies are generally soft, so limescale is less of a problem than in hard-water areas. Mould is another matter: a bathroom that stays damp still turns sealant and grout black. In Scotland, private landlords have to meet the Repairing Standard, which includes keeping fixtures and fittings in reasonable repair. Tired, leaking sealant is worth putting right before a new tenant moves in.
For jobs in and around Strathyre, choosing the right material for each joint is as important as a tidy finish.

FAQs for Strathyre
Do you cover smaller places like Strathyre?
Yes. Strathyre is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. We work across all of Scotland. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.

Every job comes with our one-year guarantee, wherever it is. We are fully insured, and an ARBOMaster approved applicator.
Do you work for letting agents?
Yes, regularly. We can quote for several properties at once.

Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes, we can. Several rooms, windows or areas can go on one quote.
Do the sealants smell?
There can be a smell while the sealant cures, but it fades. Opening a window helps.
Where do you work from?

Which products 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.
Keeping the joints in good condition
No joint lasts for ever, but care makes a real difference. A few tips:
- Never seal over old silicone
- Act on a lifting corner right away
- Check ceilings under showers for marks
- Run the fan after every shower
Ventilation keeps mould away from the new bead: use the extractor or open a window after showering.
A failing joint rarely gets better on its own. Every shower or downpour sends more water through, into floors, walls or ceilings. Sorting it early limits the damage.
Different surfaces, different methods
Windows & doors
A frame that keeps leaking may not be the mastic. If the frame joint is not the cause, we’ll say so.
Mouldy bath & shower sealant
Repeat mould normally points to a damp, poorly aired room. Along with resealing, we’ll mention if the room needs better ventilation.
Honest limits
Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits:
- A leaking trap, valve or supply pipe
- A tray or worktop that needs refixing first
- Tiles that have come away from the wall
Not sure which it is? You can drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
