Remedial sealant in Stronmilchan
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 are often asked to deal with wide, uneven beads that look worse than the old ones and a shower that leaks however often it’s resealed, on expansion joints, shrunken worktop sealant and mouldy bath & shower sealant.
A bathroom in a place like Stronmilchan 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.
Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by our 12-month guarantee.

How to look after the new joints
Aftercare is simple:
- Don’t add new sealant on top of old
- Ask why a joint failed before redoing it
- Keep bleach and abrasives off the bead
- Do not point over movement joints
Keep an eye on the joint at first, particularly where the original failure was caused by movement. Should anything change, email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk.
Warning signs: peeling layers, mould showing through the bead, leaks after showering or cracks in a movement joint. Each one is worth getting looked at.

How the visit works
On the day, we start by going over the job with you. We protect the surfaces around the joints before any work begins. Most jobs take a few hours, depending on how many layers have to come out. Outdoor work around Stronmilchan depends on the weather, as sealant needs a dry surface, so an outdoor job can move if the forecast changes. Work indoors isn’t affected.
- We look at how the sealant has failed and check for movement or a leak path.
- We strip the joint completely, removing any layers below.
- The joint is cleaned, treated for mould and left to dry.
- Moving joints get backing and a flexible sealant to suit.
- We tool the joint and tell you about anything else that needs attention.
Before we arrive
- Tell us about any previous sealing or DIY attempts
- Keep children and pets away from the work area
- Clear the area around the work

Bathrooms and kitchens in Stronmilchan
Scotland’s water is generally soft, so sealant and grout see less limescale than in much of England. 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.
Rented homes near Dalmally station change hands often, and botched sealant from a previous quick fix is easier to strip out between tenants.

Different surfaces, different methods
Windows & doors
Failed frame mastic is often hard, cracked and in several layers. All of it is cut out and the frame and wall cleaned before backing and resealing.
Movement & expansion joints
A sealant stuck to the back of the joint cannot stretch. Backing stops that, so the sealant grips the two sides only.
Why it’s worth doing now in Stronmilchan
Spraying mould remover on a sealed-over joint doesn’t reach what’s underneath. Removal is the only way to get at it, so the joint can be treated and resealed. Out of town in Scotland, exposed walls take a lot of weather, and damp in stone or harled walls takes a long time to dry once water gets behind a joint.

When to call us in Stronmilchan
One of the commonest remedial jobs is sealant on top of sealant. New silicone cannot stick to the old bead, so the top layer lifts and water and mould collect between the two.
Any of these means the joints need attention:
- Leaks that keep coming back after resealing
- Kitchen joints letting water behind the worktop
- Thick, messy sealant smeared over tiles
- Sealant applied over old sealant that has lifted
In the older streets around Glenorchy Parish Church, bathrooms in older houses have often been refitted more than once, with sealant laid over sealant.

DIY versus a professional finish
If you’re set on DIY, put the effort into preparation: remove every trace of old sealant, clean and dry the joint, and follow the product’s cure time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still put it right.
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that is fine. We remove it and do the joint properly, so tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
