Remedial Sealant in Whiterow
Our applicators work in Whiterow on removing failed, mouldy or leaking sealant and putting it right. Old sealant removed completely, joints prepared properly and every job guaranteed for a year.
- Leaks that keep coming back after resealing
- Wide, uneven beads that look worse than the old ones
- Kitchen joints letting water behind the worktop
How we handle remedial sealant in Whiterow
Movement and expansion joints fail when the sealant cannot stretch. We cut out the failed sealant and set the depth with backing, before resealing with a flexible product suited to the movement. If you’re dealing with black mould underneath the bead and over-sealed joints coming away, we can help.
A bathroom in a place like Whiterow gets the same daily wear as one in a city flat. Generally soft Scottish water means less limescale, but steam still lets mould into sealant and grout.
Whatever the size of the job, you get the same 12-month guarantee in Whiterow and across Highland.

DIY sealant or a professional job?
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that is fine. We remove it and do the joint properly.
Not every job suits DIY: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs need the right product, the right access and the right method.
How the job changes by surface
Worktops & kitchens
Old kitchen sealant pulls back from the wall over time. We strip it, degrease the joint and reseal.
Mouldy bath & shower sealant
Mould often spreads under the bead as well as through it. Once it’s all removed, the joint is treated so the new sealant starts clean.

What affects the quote in Whiterow
The quote reflects the job in front of us. We look at:
- How much old sealant there is and how hard it is to remove
- Any working-time requirements on site
- Mould in or behind the old joints
- Access and height
Doing several joints on one visit generally makes better use of the time than several visits, so tell us about everything that needs sealing. We’ll give you a clear quote for the lot.
What we need to know
To make quoting easier, let us know:
- If it’s domestic, commercial or a hotel
- Whether it has been sealed before
- Pictures of the joints, sent by email
- How many joints, rooms or windows are involved
Need a quote? Please email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk with a few details. You’ll know what we plan to do, and what it will cost, before any work begins.

Related advice
Why deal with it now?
A failed seal rarely means a new bathroom. When the fittings are sound, stripping and resealing the joints is often enough. If they’re not, we will tell you. Exposed walls in smaller Scottish places take a lot of wind and rain, and once water gets behind a failed joint, damp in stone or harled walls is slow to dry out.
Some things make a job bigger or smaller: the old material and how easily it comes out, whether mould needs treating, and whether the work is at height. Your quote takes all of that into account.

What does remedial sealant cost?

Can you do several jobs on one visit?
Yes, and it often makes sense. Combining jobs makes good use of the visit, so mention them when you ask for a quote.
Someone resealed my shower and it’s leaking again. Can you help?
Yes. Repeat leaks generally come from over-sealing, movement or water getting in elsewhere, and we deal with the cause first.
Is it messy?
No. We protect the surfaces around the joints, and we tidy up before we go.
How long should I leave it?
Most sealants are touch-dry well before they’re fully cured. We’ll tell you how long to leave the joint before we leave.
Do I need to be at home?
For indoor joints, yes, someone needs to let us in. Once we’ve agreed the job, you don’t need to watch us work.
Remedial sealant in Whiterow: local notes
Whiterow is close to the coast. Near the coast, holiday lets and guest houses can see bathrooms used by one guest after another, and sealant and grout that work that hard wear out sooner. 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.
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Wick High School, its toilets, changing areas and kitchens need their sealant renewed like any other building’s. For an older house near a landmark such as Pulteneytown Parish Church, older homes can move a little, which is hard on rigid grout and tired sealant. Rented homes near Wick station change hands often, and a joint that keeps failing is best fixed properly while the property is empty.
