About our remedial sealant in Uig
Remedial jobs in Uig normally fall into a few patterns: sealant over sealant, mould under the bead, leaks that come back and movement joints that have split. Each is stripped back and done again properly. We’re often asked to deal with dark patches showing through the sealant and movement joints that have split or pulled away, across botched or over-sealed joints, leaking tray & enclosure joints and shrunken worktop sealant.
In and around a place like Uig, 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.
There’s a 12-month guarantee on every job.

What we are called out for in Uig
Silicone only bonds to surfaces that are clean and dry. Soap film, dust, damp or old residue stop it gripping, so it starts lifting sooner than it should.
It’s worth asking for a quote if you see:
- Leaks that keep coming back after resealing
- Sealant that came away because the surface wasn’t prepared
- Dark patches showing through the sealant
- Torn expansion joints
Homes close to Church of Scotland include some older properties, and bathrooms in older houses have often been refitted more than once, with sealant laid over sealant.
What your quote should include
- Are they insured?
- What the cure time is
- What happens if the job turns out different
- How the surfaces are prepared before sealing
What affects the quote in Uig
The price is agreed before any work begins. It takes into account:
- The number and length of the joints
- Which sealant suits the joint
- Access and height
- Any working-time requirements on site
Instead of a standard rate, we price the job in front of us: how many joints, what’s in them now and how we reach them. The price is agreed before we begin.
What we need to know
When you contact us, these details help:
- The type of property
- The address or postcode of the job
- What’s wrong with the joints now
- A few photos by email, if you can
To get a quote, send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk and tell us where the job is and what the problem looks like. We will give you a clear price before any work starts.
Your questions about remedial sealant in Uig
Is Uig within the area you cover?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. We work across all of Scotland. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
Is remedial sealant in Uig guaranteed?
Every job comes with our 12-month guarantee, wherever it is. We are also fully insured and ARBOMaster approved.
Can you strip sealant from an acrylic tray safely?
Yes. We take our time over removal, especially on acrylic, enamel and uPVC.
Can you do several jobs on one visit?
Yes, we can. Several rooms, windows or areas can go on one quote.
How long before the joint can be used?
Most sealants are touch-dry well before they’re fully cured. We will tell you how long to leave the joint.
Will it make a mess?
Tidy work is part of the job. We protect what’s around the joints, and we clear up when we are done.
What if resealing won’t fix my leak?
Then we explain what we’ve found. A plumber or fitter may be needed before any new sealant goes on.
Is there any odour?
It depends on the product. Some products have a noticeable smell, others very little.
What sealant work cannot fix
We will always be straight with you, so here’s what new sealant won’t do:
- Failed tanking or loose tiles behind the sealant
- Plumbing leaks behind walls or under trays
- A cracked shower tray or bath (that needs repair or replacing)
If you’re not sure, just send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk and we will give you a straight answer before you book.
Where we work in Uig
- Leaking tray & enclosure joints
- Shrunken worktop sealant
- Failed movement joints
- Expansion joints
- Mouldy bath & shower sealant
- Botched or over-sealed joints
Should I try it myself first?
Some jobs are best left to a professional: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs need the right product, the right access and the right method.
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and doesn’t move well, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.
Bathrooms and kitchens in Uig
Uig 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. 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.
If you look after a building such as Uig Primary School, washroom and kitchen sealant there needs the same care as at home, and schools and businesses are part of our work as well as homes.

How to look after the new joints
How long the joints last depends on use and care. We suggest:
- Keep movement joints clear of mortar and paint
- Never seal over old silicone
- Do not wait for a small gap to become a leak
- Check ceilings under showers for marks
Leave the new joint to cure fully before it gets wet or moves: follow the cure time we give you.
Movement joints that have split let water into the structure, and the longer it’s left, the more the joint edges break down. Resealing while the edges are sound is simpler.
What else we do in Uig
How it works
All our tools and materials come with us in the van. After a quick look at the joints together, we protect the area and start. Most jobs take a few hours for most joints, depending on how much old sealant has to come out. Around Uig, distance and access matter more than parking. Tell us how to find the property and how to reach the work, and the visit is planned around that.
- 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.
Preparing for the visit
- On commercial sites, let us know about site rules
- Tell us if parking is tricky
- Let us know if you’ve seen damp or leaks
