About our remedial sealant in Urafirth
In Urafirth, as anywhere, remedial jobs tend to look alike: over-sealed joints, hidden mould, repeat leaks and split movement joints. Each is stripped back and done again properly. If you have floor or wall movement joints that have failed and worktop sealant that has shrunk and split, we can put it right, whatever the surface.
For a place like Urafirth, the job is the same as anywhere: everything old is cut out, the joints are cleaned and dried, and new sealant or grout goes in. The journey and access are simply planned in advance.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there’s a problem with our work within the year, let us know and we will sort it.

Looking after it afterwards
How long the joints last depends on use and care. Here’s what we suggest:
- Deal with small splits early
- Run the fan after every shower
- Do not point over movement joints
- Look for stains below bathrooms now and then
Give the new sealant its full cure time: follow the cure time we give you.
If a joint has failed more than once, stop resealing it. Have someone find out why, otherwise the next attempt will fail too.
DIY versus a professional finish
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, such as a straightforward joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
Some jobs are best left to a professional: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas need the right product, the right access and the right method.
Remedial sealant around Urafirth
Urafirth is within about 1 mile of the coast. Coastal homes, holiday lets and guest houses can see heavy bathroom use in busy months, which wears sealant and grout out faster than in a quiet home. Work on the islands has to be planned around ferry crossings and the weather, so give us as much notice as you can.
In and around Urafirth, as anywhere, good remedial sealant starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint. For jobs in and around Urafirth, choosing the right material for each joint is as important as a tidy finish.

Urafirth: your questions answered
Is remedial sealant in Urafirth guaranteed?
All our work, in Urafirth and everywhere else, comes with a 12-month guarantee. We’re also fully insured and ARBOMaster approved.
Will you come out to Urafirth?
Yes. Urafirth is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. We work across all of Scotland, including the islands, where work is planned around ferry crossings. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
Can tenants book the work?
We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just make sure your landlord agrees.
Can you take off two layers of silicone?
Yes. We cut out all the layers and clean off the film, before resealing with a single bead.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, we do. Domestic, commercial and hotel work are all part of what we do, and we are fully insured.
What sealant do you use?
Products from Arbo and Everbuild, among others, picked for each joint. We explain the product when we quote.
Where do you work from?
Our base is in Crawley, and we work across South East England, London and Scotland.
Do you take out the old sealant first?
Always. Sealing over the old bead is the commonest cause of early failure, and it’s something we never do.
Honest limits
To be straight with you, there are a few things sealant will not fix:
- A leaking trap, valve or supply pipe
- A cracked shower tray or bath (that needs repair or replacing)
- Sealant in an older building that needs testing for asbestos first
If you’re not sure, just send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk and we’ll give you a straight answer.
What we seal
- Botched or over-sealed joints
- Leaking tray & enclosure joints
- Failed movement joints
- Shrunken worktop sealant
- Mouldy bath & shower sealant
- Expansion joints
What happens if it’s left?
DIY removal often leaves scratches and a film of residue, and any film left behind stops new sealant sticking. Careful removal is most of a remedial job. Out of town in Scotland, exposed walls take a lot of weather, and damp in stone or harled walls takes a long time to dry once water gets behind a joint.
Every job is a little different, so we quote each one individually. Size, access and the product the joint needs all make a difference.

What the job involves on each surface
Worktops & kitchens
Kitchen joints often have grease and cleaning residue deep in them, so we spend extra time cleaning before resealing.
Movement & expansion joints
Movement joints in floors, walls and façades need a flexible sealant set to the right depth. Failed sealant is cut out, backing rod or tape is fitted and the joint resealed.
