- Black mould underneath the bead
- Thick, messy sealant smeared over tiles
- A shower that leaks however often it’s resealed
Why it’s worth doing now in Tenston
Another bead over the top won’t fix a failed joint. It can’t bond to what’s underneath, so the leak carries on and there’s now more to remove. Out of town in Scotland, exposed walls take a lot of weather, and once water gets behind a failed joint, damp in stone or harled walls is slow to dry out.
Homes and businesses are quoted the same way: how much there is to do, how we reach it and what it needs, along with when we can work on site. Ask us for a quote and we will explain what it covers.

Remedial sealant for homes and businesses in Tenston
Water on the floor does not always mean failed silicone. Cracked trays, leaking wastes and faulty valves often look like a sealant problem. If that is what we find, we will tell you rather than reseal something that will not fix it. If you’re dealing with a shower that leaks however often it’s resealed and over-sealed joints coming away, we can help, on botched or over-sealed joints, failed movement joints and leaking tray & enclosure joints alike.
For a place like Tenston, the job is the same as anywhere: old material out, joints cleaned and dried, and a fresh, even finish. The journey and access are simply planned in advance.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something isn’t right with it in that time, tell us and we’ll put it right.

FAQs for Tenston
Will you come out to Tenston?
Yes. Tenston is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. Our work covers the whole of Scotland, including the islands, where work is planned around ferry crossings. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Is there a guarantee on remedial sealant in Tenston?
Every job comes with our one-year guarantee, wherever it is. We’re fully insured, and an ARBOMaster approved applicator.
Do the sealants smell?
Sometimes, a little. It fades as the sealant cures, and ventilation helps.
Does someone need to be in?
If the work is inside, we need someone to let us in. Once we’ve agreed the job, you do not need to watch us work.
Can you fix a reseal that hasn’t worked?
Yes. All the sealant comes out, we find out why it failed, and the joint is resealed properly.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, we do. We work in homes, commercial premises and hotels, and we’re fully insured.
What if resealing will not fix my leak?
We’ll tell you. If it’s a cracked tray, a failed valve or a leaking waste, resealing will not fix it, and we won’t reseal for the sake of it.
Where do you work from?
We are based in Crawley, and we cover South East England, London and all of Scotland.
Remedial sealant around Tenston
Tenston is close to the coast. Near the coast, holiday lets and guest houses can see bathrooms used by one guest after another, and sealant and grout that work that hard wear out sooner. 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.
Around Tenston, as everywhere, remedial sealant is only as good as the preparation behind it. Whether the job is in Tenston itself or nearby, the right material for each joint matters as much as a neat finish.
Tenston is about 12 miles west of Kirkwall, in the Orkney Islands. Homes, rented property, offices and hotels in Tenston can book us for remedial sealant. Every job comes with our 12-month guarantee. Tenston is one of 51 places in the Orkney Islands we cover for remedial sealant.

Nearby you’ll also find Skara Brae Visitor Centre (2.8 miles north-west). The countryside around Tenston includes Mill Dam of Rango and Hill of Miffia.
Should I try it myself first?
If you do try it yourself, take your time over the preparation: remove every trace of old sealant, clean and dry the joint, and follow the product’s cure time. If it fails, we can still redo it.
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and doesn’t move well, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.
What we cannot put right
New sealant can’t fix everything, and we’d rather say so up front. It won’t solve:
- Tiles that have come away from the wall
- Sealant in an older building that needs testing for asbestos first
- Leaks from a shower valve, waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
If in doubt, send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk and we will say what we think.
What we seal
- Botched or over-sealed joints
- Expansion joints
- Leaking tray & enclosure joints
- Mouldy bath & shower sealant
- Failed movement joints
- Shrunken worktop sealant

How it works
On the day, there’s very little for you to do. Point us to the joints and we’ll get on with it. The work itself takes a few hours for a typical bath or shower, longer where several layers have been applied from start to finish. Around Tenston, distance and access matter more than parking. Tell us how to find the property and how to reach the work.
- First we work out whether the problem is the sealant, movement or a leak.
- Old beads and residue are removed down to clean surfaces.
- We treat any mould and dry the joint thoroughly.
- The right product goes in, with backing where the joint moves.
- The joint is tooled and you are told about anything else we found.
How to prepare
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive
- Clear the area around the work
- Mention any tricky access

How we quote for remedial sealant
The price is agreed before any work begins. It’s based on:
- The product the joint needs
- When we can work, for business premises
- The size of the job
- Any mould that needs treating
Some things make a job bigger or smaller: the old material and how easily it comes out, any mould to treat, and whether we need extra access for height. Your quote takes all of that into account.
What we need to know
To make quoting easier, please include:
- Any access issues, like height or stairs
- Whether it’s a home or a business
- How many joints, rooms or windows are involved
- Pictures of the joints, sent by email
Call for a quick quote, or send an email if you’d rather. Tell us about the joints that need doing and we will talk you through the work and send you a clear quote.
Work for landlords, hotels and businesses
From a single let to a portfolio, you get the same standard of work: the old material taken out, careful preparation and a 12-month guarantee.
Mouldy or split sealant often shows up at the end of a tenancy, and it’s quick to put right between tenancies. We can quote for more than one property at once.
Keeping the joints in good condition
So the new joints stay in good condition:
- Deal with small splits early
- Keep the room well ventilated
- Get the cause of a repeat leak found before resealing
- Check trays and worktops don’t move
Ventilation keeps mould away from the new bead: run the fan during and after showers, or open a window.
Mould trapped under over-sealed joints spreads unseen. By the time it shows through, the joint is well past saving.
