What we are called out for in Lauder
Plenty of failed sealant has been laid over the top of older sealant. New silicone will not bond to old silicone, so it lifts, lets water in and traps mould underneath.
Look out for these signs:
- Gaps where the bath or tray has moved
- Water getting behind the kitchen upstand
- Sealant that has split, shrunk or peeled away
- Leaks into the floor or ceiling below
For landlords with property near Stow station, fresh sealant around the bath, shower and sink between tenancies helps a property present well and keeps leaks at bay.

Lauder: your questions answered
Do you work for landlords with property near Stow station?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. Just send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk and tell us about the property, and we’ll give you a clear quote.
Will you come out to Lauder?
Yes, Lauder is covered. We work across all of Scotland, and smaller places are part of that. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.

Bathrooms and kitchens in Lauder
There are hotels and other places to stay in and around Lauder. As well as homes, we work in hotel bathrooms, where resealing and regrouting can be done room by room. In Scotland, private landlords have to meet the Repairing Standard, which covers keeping fixtures and fittings in a reasonable state of repair. Failed sealant around a bath or shower is worth sorting between tenancies.
In the older streets around St Mary's Parish Church, walls and floors in older homes can move, and sealant and grout show it first.

Aftercare tips
To keep the joints looking good and working properly:
- Dry worktop joints after washing up
- Keep an eye on the corners, where splits start
- Never pick at the silicone with a blade
- Use gentle cleaners on the silicone
Have a look at the joints every few months. A small split or a corner lifting is easy to spot, so if something doesn’t look right, just drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk.
Mould that starts as a few spots spreads through the bead. When it has grown right through, it rarely cleans out, and nearby grout often goes the same way. Replacing the sealant early keeps the job small.

What else we do in Lauder
Leave it or put it right?
Dealing with sealant early is a short job: the work takes a morning or an afternoon for most single baths and showers. Wait for a leak and you may be looking at panels off, drying out and redecorating too. 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.
There are no prices on our website, because the cost depends so much on the job itself. Call for a quick quote and we’ll talk you through it.
Why book with us

We will always be straight with you, so here’s what new sealant will not do:
- Cracked or missing grout between tiles (that’s regrouting)
- Loose or hollow tiles, or failed tanking behind them
- A tray that rocks until it’s re-bedded
If in doubt, send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk and we will say what we think before booking.

The process
The work is kept neat and contained to the joints we’re treating. The job normally takes half a day or less for one room, longer when the kitchen is included, and we tell you how long to leave it before we go. For a place like Lauder, longer drives are planned in advance. Tell us about tracks, gates, a ferry crossing or anything unusual about getting there.
- We cover the area around the joints we are working on.
- Old sealant is sliced away and the residue removed.
- We treat any mould and let the joint dry properly.
- Any bath is filled with water, then we lay a bead of anti-fungal silicone in white, clear or a matching colour.
- The joint is finished neatly and we explain when it can get wet.
How to prepare
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Clear items away from the joints we are working on
- Mention any parking rules near the property

Related advice
Should I try it myself first?
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. New silicone will not bond to old, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. All the old material has to come out first.
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that is fine. We remove it and do the joint properly, so tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
