About our remedial sealant in Tormore
Remedial work is what we do when sealant has failed or been done badly. Silicone laid over silicone, smears across tiles, the wrong product in a moving joint or mould trapped underneath all need stripping out before the joint can be done properly. Typical jobs include sealant applied over old sealant that has lifted and movement joints that have split or pulled away, across leaking tray & enclosure joints, expansion joints and botched or over-sealed joints.
In and around a place like Tormore, 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.
A 12-month guarantee comes as standard.

DIY versus a professional finish
A DIY attempt does not rule out a professional job. We remove it and do the joint properly, so tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.
FAQs for Tormore
Can you do remedial sealant in Tormore?
Yes. We work across all of Scotland, and Tormore is part of that. You can send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk and let us know what needs doing, and we’ll give you a clear price.
What guarantee comes with remedial sealant in Tormore?
All our work, in Tormore and everywhere else, comes with a 12-month guarantee. We are fully insured, and an ARBOMaster approved applicator.
Do you work for hotels and businesses?
Yes. Commercial and hotel work is a large part of what we do. Working times can be discussed when we quote.
How long before the joint can be used?
Different products cure at different speeds, so follow the cure time we give you when we finish.
Will there be a smell?
There can be a smell while the sealant cures. Ventilation helps.
How long does remedial resealing take?
That depends on how many layers there are and how many joints. You’ll have a timescale before any work begins.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Just list everything you need and you will get one quote.
What happens if the problem is the tray or the plumbing?
You will hear it from us. A cracked tray, faulty valve or leaking waste needs a different trade, so we won’t pretend it will.
The process
Once we’re on site, we check the joints match what you told us. If anything is different, we explain it before carrying on. Most jobs then take a few hours, depending on how many layers have to come out. For a place like Tormore, longer drives are planned in advance. Tell us about tracks, gates, a ferry crossing or anything unusual about getting there.
- First we work out whether the problem is the sealant, movement or a leak.
- Old beads and residue are removed down to clean surfaces.
- Mould is treated and the joint dried.
- We reseal with a product suited to the joint, backed where needed.
- The joint is tooled and you’re told about anything else we found.
Before we arrive
- Mention any sign-in or site rules at work premises
- For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can
- Mention any tricky access

Looking after it afterwards
A little care helps the new joints last. We recommend:
- Run the fan after every shower
- Keep bleach and abrasives off the bead
- Deal with small splits early
- Don’t point over movement joints
Do not let anyone seal over it later. Over-sealing is how many remedial jobs start.
Mould trapped under over-sealed joints spreads unseen. When it finally shows, the whole bead needs to come out.
What remedial sealant looks like in Tormore
In Scotland, private landlords have to meet the Repairing Standard, which includes keeping fixtures and fittings in reasonable repair. Failed sealant around a bath or shower is worth sorting between tenancies. Scotland’s water is generally soft, so sealant and grout see less limescale than in much of England. But mould still grows into sealant and grout in a room that does not dry out.
Whether the job is in Tormore itself or nearby, the right material for each joint matters as much as a neat finish.

What happens if it’s left?
Stripping out botched sealant adds time to a reseal, but not by much: it takes a few hours for a typical bath or shower, longer where several layers have been applied. Compared with chasing the same leak every few months, it’s time well spent. 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.

Different surfaces, different methods
Movement & expansion joints
Bonding on three sides is a common reason movement joints tear. Backing stops that, letting the sealant flex between the two faces.
Windows & doors
Smeared or badly matched mastic can be cut out and redone neatly, matched to the frame colour.

Common problems we fix in Tormore
One of the commonest remedial jobs is sealant on top of sealant. New silicone cannot stick to the old bead, so the top layer lifts and water and mould collect between the two.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Leaks that keep coming back after resealing
- Black mould underneath the bead
- Products that weren’t meant for the joint
- Floor or wall movement joints that have failed
In and around Tormore, as anywhere, good remedial sealant starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint.
Questions to ask before you book
