Timsgarry homes and their sealant
Timsgarry is close to the coast. Coastal homes, holiday lets and guest houses can see heavy bathroom use in busy months, 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.
In the older streets around Uig Parish Church, walls and floors in older homes can move, and sealant and grout show it first. Around Timsgarry, as everywhere, remedial sealant is only as good as the preparation behind it.

Remedial sealant in Timsgarry
The wrong product in the wrong joint won’t last, however tidy it looks. We take it out and use a sealant made for that joint. If you’re dealing with worktop sealant that has shrunk and split and a second bead peeling off the first, we can put it right.
Across smaller places in Scotland, homes range from stone and harled cottages to newer houses. Where a building moves, cracked grout and split sealant are usually the first signs.
We stand behind the work with a 12-month guarantee.

How to look after the new joints
Aftercare is simple:
- Ask why a joint failed before redoing it
- Never fill a movement joint with mortar or grout
- Keep the room well ventilated
- Do not add new sealant on top of old
If the joint ever needs renewing, have it cut out, not sealed over. New silicone does not bond to old.
If a joint has failed more than once, stop resealing it. Get the cause found first, or the next bead will go the same way.
What happens if it’s left?
Repeat failures have a cause. Taking time to find the cause, whether it’s movement, a leak or the wrong product, is what stops it happening again. In a place like Timsgarry, small leaks are easy to put off, but water through a failed joint keeps working away until it’s fixed.
A failed joint rarely gets cheaper to fix by waiting, because water and mould keep working on it. If you are unsure, send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk for an honest opinion and a quote.

Is there any odour?
It depends on the product. Some products have a noticeable smell, others very little, and any smell fades as they cure.

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 does not work out, we can still put it right.
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, such as a straightforward joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
The process
Good joint work is mostly preparation, so that’s where we spend the time. Joints are cleaned back and dried before anything new goes in. All told, the work takes a few hours for most joints, depending on how much old sealant has to come out. Outdoor work around Timsgarry depends on the weather, as sealant needs a dry surface, so external jobs may need to move if the day turns wet. Indoor work goes ahead whatever the weather.
- We start by checking the joint for movement, leaks and the reason it failed.
- Every layer of old sealant is cut and cleaned out.
- Next, any mould is treated and the joint dried.
- 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
- Mention any parking rules near the property
- Mention any sign-in or site rules at work premises
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit
