Remedial sealant near Tarbert

Remedial sealant in Tarbert, done properly

Removing failed sealant is the hardest part of the job. We cut out every layer, clear the residue and degrease the surfaces, without scratching tiles, trays or frames. New sealant only bonds to a clean, dry joint. We work on shrunken worktop sealant, mouldy bath & shower sealant and failed movement joints, and common reasons people get in touch are thick, messy sealant smeared over tiles and sealant peeling off a dusty or damp surface.

Being further from a city doesn’t change the work: old material out, joints cleaned and dried, and a fresh, even finish. We just plan the journey and access beforehand.

A 12-month guarantee comes as standard, so you are not left on your own once the job is done.

Questions from Tarbert

Can you do remedial sealant in Tarbert?

Yes. We work across all of Scotland, and Tarbert is part of that. Just drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk with a few details of the job, and we will send you a clear quote.

Is Tarbert within the area you cover?

Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. We work across all of Scotland, including the islands, where work is planned around ferry crossings. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.

Can tenants book the work?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just make sure your landlord agrees.

Can you reseal a split movement joint?

Yes. If a joint has been filled with mortar or rigid filler, we rake it out where possible, then the joint is sealed properly.

Will the old sealant be removed?

Yes. We cut out all the old sealant and clean the joint.

What if resealing won’t fix my leak?

You’ll hear it from us. If it’s a cracked tray, a failed valve or a leaking waste, resealing won’t fix it, so we won’t pretend it will.

How do I get a quote for remedial sealant in Tarbert?

Every job is different, so each one gets its own quote. For a quick quote, drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk and tell us what needs doing and where.

Where are you based?

Mr Mastic is based in Crawley. Our applicators cover Tarbert, along with the rest of our area.

Why deal with it now?

Leaks that are left keep doing damage out of sight: wet floors, stained ceilings and swollen worktops. Dealing with the joint now is a small job by comparison. Exposed walls in smaller Scottish places take a lot of wind and rain, and damp in stone or harled walls takes a long time to dry once water gets behind a joint.

Every job is a little different, so each one gets its own quote. The number of joints, how easy they are to reach and the sealant needed all play a part, and we’ll explain the quote if you ask.

Why us?

  • You choose the colour before work begins
  • White, clear, grey or another colour, product permitting
  • Any old sealant cut out fully, not covered over
  • Over 20 years’ experience

When it isn’t the sealant

Some problems need a builder, plumber or other trade rather than us:

  • Leaks from a shower valve, waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
  • Water damage behind tiles that needs a tiler
  • A tray or bath that is cracked

Not sure which it is? You can drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk and we will tell you honestly.

Joints and surfaces we work on

  • Expansion joints
  • Botched or over-sealed joints
  • Failed movement joints
  • Mouldy bath & shower sealant
  • Shrunken worktop sealant
  • Leaking tray & enclosure joints

Surface by surface

Mouldy bath & shower sealant

Mould can sit behind the silicone, not just in it. We treat the exposed joint once the bead is out.

Movement & expansion joints

Bonding on three sides is a common reason movement joints tear. Backing rod or bond-breaker tape prevents it, letting the sealant flex between the two faces.

How the visit works

Good joint work is mostly preparation, and we do not rush it. Joints are cleaned back and dried before anything new goes in. In total, it normally takes a few hours, depending on how many layers have to come out. Outdoor work around Tarbert 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.

  1. First we work out whether the problem is the sealant, movement or a leak.
  2. Old beads and residue are removed down to clean surfaces.
  3. Mould is treated and the joint dried.
  4. We reseal with a product suited to the joint, backed where needed.
  5. We finish neatly and point out anything that needs another trade.

Before we arrive

  • Tell us about any previous sealing or DIY attempts
  • Let us know about parking restrictions
  • Move anything stored near the joints

Advice

How to look after the new joints

Simple care keeps the joints in good condition. We recommend:

  • Run the fan after every shower
  • Don’t add new sealant on top of old
  • Don’t point over movement joints
  • Report a tray that rocks or a worktop that lifts

Keep an eye on the joint at first, particularly where the original failure was caused by movement. If anything changes, just drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk.

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.

Work for landlords, hotels and businesses

Letting agents often deal with us directly. Send the address, what’s needed and the access arrangements and we’ll quote.

From a single let to a portfolio, you get the same standard of work: old sealant fully removed, joints prepared properly and a 12-month guarantee.
