About our remedial sealant in Torbeg
The wrong product in the wrong joint fails however neatly it’s applied. Out it comes, and in goes a sealant suited to the job. We work on expansion joints, shrunken worktop sealant and leaking tray & enclosure joints, and people most often call us about worktop sealant that has shrunk and split and mould trapped under a layer of silicone.
In and around a place like Torbeg, homes range from older stone-built properties to newer houses. Where a building moves, cracked grout and split sealant are generally the first signs.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something is not right with it in that time, tell us and we will put it right.

What remedial sealant looks like in Torbeg
Torbeg is close to 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. Private landlords in Scotland must be registered and 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.
Around Torbeg, as everywhere, remedial sealant is only as good as the preparation behind it.

Aftercare tips
Good habits help new joints last longer. Our tips:
- Have loose fittings fixed before resealing
- Clean sealant with mild products only
- Keep an eye on the ceiling below the bathroom
- Do not point over movement joints
If we have found a cause, such as a loose tray or a leaking waste, get it fixed, because the new sealant can’t hold back a problem underneath.
Don’t keep resealing the same joint. Get the cause found first, otherwise the next attempt will fail too.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Torbeg
If you manage several properties in or around Torbeg, several properties can go on one quote. Just tell us the addresses and what each one needs, and photos by email help.
Businesses can book us for washrooms, kitchens, offices and more. For commercial premises, we can talk through working times when we quote.
What sealant work cannot fix
We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what new sealant won’t do:
- A cracked shower tray or bath (that needs repair or replacing)
- Tiles that have come away from the wall
- A leaking trap, valve or supply pipe
If you’re not sure, just drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk and we’ll give you a straight answer.
Joints and surfaces we work on
- Shrunken worktop sealant
- Botched or over-sealed joints
- Leaking tray & enclosure joints
- Expansion joints
- Failed movement joints
- Mouldy bath & shower sealant
What happens on the day
We keep the work tidy and contained to the area we’re working on, so you can get on with your day. Expect the work to take a few hours for a typical bath or shower, longer where several layers have been applied. Outside jobs in Torbeg need a dry day, because sealant won’t bond to a wet joint, so an outdoor job can move if the forecast changes. Indoor work goes ahead whatever the weather.
- Surrounding tiles, trays and frames are protected first.
- The botched or failed sealant is cut away completely.
- We clean and degrease the joint and look for signs of movement or water.
- New sealant goes in once the joint is dry, and is tooled smooth.
- We give you the cure time and explain what caused the failure.
How to prepare
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit
- Let us know about stairs, lifts or work at height
- Clear the area around the work
How to get a quote
There’s no standard price list, as no two jobs are quite the same. Instead, your job gets its own clear quote. To arrange one, send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk.
Advice
DIY sealant or a professional job?
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is, and the work is guaranteed for a year.
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.
Do you need remedial sealant in Torbeg?
Movement tears sealant that isn’t designed for it. Flexing baths, rocking trays and building movement joints will split a rigid or thin bead.
People usually contact us after spotting something like this:
- Over-sealed joints coming away
- Kitchen joints letting water behind the worktop
- Floor or wall movement joints that have failed
- Repeat leaks from the same joint
Homes close to St Molios Church include some older properties, and older homes can move a little, which is hard on rigid grout and tired sealant.

Torbeg questions
What guarantee comes with remedial sealant in Torbeg?
Every job comes with our one-year guarantee, wherever it is. We are also fully insured and ARBOMaster approved.
Do you cover Torbeg for remedial sealant?
Yes, Torbeg is within the area we cover. Our work covers the whole of Scotland. Just drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk with a few details of the job.
Do the sealants smell?
Some sealants have a smell while they cure. Opening a window helps.
How long before the joint can be used?
Most sealants are touch-dry well before they’re fully cured. We will give you the cure time for the product we used before we leave.
Do you hold any approvals?
Yes. Mr Mastic is an ARBOMaster approved applicator, and we’re fully insured.
Can old silicone be taken off without scratching the tiles?
Yes. We avoid heavy scraping and use the right cleaner for each surface, so the new sealant bonds cleanly.
Can you do several jobs on one visit?
Of course. Doing several areas at once is normally more efficient.
Do I have to be there?
If the work is inside, we need someone to let us in. Once we have agreed the job, you don’t need to watch us work.
