Remedial sealant in Tayvallich, done properly
Decorators’ caulk in a shower, bathroom silicone on a window, a rigid filler in a movement joint fails however neatly it’s applied. Out it comes, and in goes a sealant suited to the job. If you’re dealing with over-sealed joints coming away and thick, messy sealant smeared over tiles, we can help.
In and around a place like Tayvallich, 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.
You get a 12-month guarantee, the same in Tayvallich as everywhere else we work.

Keeping the joints in good condition
Looking after new joints is easy:
- Find out why the sealant failed first
- Clean sealant with mild products only
- Never seal over old silicone
- Do not point over movement joints
If we’ve found a cause, such as a loose tray or a leaking waste, get it fixed, or the new joint may fail again.
Do not keep resealing the same joint. Have someone find out why, or the next bead will go the same way.

What else we do in Tayvallich
When it is not the sealant

- A tray or worktop that needs refixing first
- Plumbing leaks behind walls or under trays
- Sealant in an older building that needs testing for asbestos first
If in doubt, email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk and we will say what we think.

How the visit works
A visit follows a simple pattern: we look at the joints together, protect the area around them, do the work and clear up. It usually takes a few hours for most joints, depending on how much old sealant has to come out. For a place like Tayvallich, longer drives are planned in advance. Tell us about tracks, gates, a ferry crossing or anything unusual about getting there.
- First we find out how and where the joint has failed.
- Every layer of old sealant is cut and cleaned out.
- We clean the joint, treat any mould and let it dry.
- We use the right backing and sealant for any joint that moves.
- Finally we finish the joint and talk you through what we found.
How to prepare
- Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive
- Mention any sign-in or site rules at work premises

Landlord and commercial work in Tayvallich
Water getting past a failed joint can damage the building, which matters even more when someone else lives there. Resealing at the right time is simple maintenance.
Letting agents and landlords in Tayvallich can book us as well as householders. Resealing between tenancies is a simple way to keep a property in good order before the next move-in.
Can I do it myself?
A DIY attempt doesn’t rule out a professional job. We remove it and do the joint properly, so tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. Silicone does not stick to old silicone, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. All the old material has to come out first.
Leave it or put it right?
Ripping out a bathroom isn’t generally needed. If the bath, tray and tiles are sound, remedial resealing normally puts it right. If they’re not, we’ll tell you. Around Tayvallich, water from a failed joint in an older stone home can soak into timber and plaster.
Combining jobs into one visit is usually more efficient than separate visits, so tell us about everything that needs sealing. You will get one clear quote for the whole job.

What remedial sealant looks like in Tayvallich
Tayvallich is within about 1 mile of the coast. Near the coast, holiday lets and guest houses can see bathrooms used by one guest after another, which wears sealant and grout out faster than in a quiet home. Scottish Water supplies are generally soft, so limescale is less of a problem than in hard-water areas. But mould still grows into sealant and grout in a room that doesn’t dry out.
In and around Tayvallich, as anywhere, good remedial sealant starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint. For an older house near a landmark such as Tayvallich Church, timber floors under older bathrooms flex, so joints need a sealant that moves with them.

Different surfaces, different methods
Worktops & kitchens
If a worktop moves when you lean on it, the sealant will keep splitting. It needs fixing down first, which we will point out.
Mouldy bath & shower sealant
Mould often spreads under the bead as well as through it. Once it’s all removed, the joint is treated.
