- Thick, messy sealant smeared over tiles
Remedial sealant in Arbroath
A joint that keeps letting you down needs more than another bead. Send photos when you drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk, and say how long ago it was last done. If you have sealant applied over old sealant that has lifted and smears and lumps from a botched reseal, we can put it right, whatever the surface.
Scottish towns like Arbroath tend to mix older stone-built streets, harled houses and newer estates. Whatever the age of the house, sealant and grout wear out in the end.
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.

The process
We work through the job in order: protect, prepare, seal, tidy. Typically it takes a few hours, depending on how many layers have to come out, and the area is left clean. For a job in Arbroath, tell us where the work is, how to get in and where to park. Outdoor jobs need a dry day, so they can move if the weather turns.
- 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.
- We finish neatly and point out anything that needs another trade.
Preparing for the visit
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive
- Clear items away from the joints we are working on
- For business premises, tell us about site rules or sign-in

What the job involves on each surface
Mouldy bath & shower sealant
Where mould keeps coming back, ventilation is usually part of the cause. We will reseal and tell you if extraction looks to be the issue.
Windows & doors
Frames resealed over the top end up with hard, layered mastic. All of it is cut out and the frame and wall cleaned.
Your questions about remedial sealant in Arbroath
I let a flat near Arbroath station. Can you help?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. Just email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk and tell us about the property, and we’ll give you a clear quote.
Can you do remedial sealant in Arbroath?
Yes, Arbroath is within the area we cover. We work across all of Scotland. You can email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk and tell us what needs doing, and we’ll give you a clear price.
When is the sealant fully cured?
Different products cure at different speeds, so please follow the time we give you when we finish.
Will it make a mess?
No. We work neatly, protect the area around the joints and tidy up afterwards.
What do you put in the joint?
Quality sealants from brands including Arbo and Everbuild, picked for each joint. We explain the product when we quote.
Can I choose the sealant colour?
In most cases you can choose. We will tell you which colours the right product comes in and agree one before any work starts.
What if resealing won’t fix my leak?
In that case, we tell you what we have found. A plumber or fitter may be needed before any new sealant goes on.
Do you do commercial work?
Yes, regularly. Larger jobs can be planned room by room or area by area to suit the site.
Can I do it myself?
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.
If you do try it yourself, take your time over the preparation: remove every trace of old sealant, clean and dry the joint, and follow the product’s cure time. If it fails, we can still redo it.
How we quote for remedial sealant
We quote each job individually. These are the things that affect it:
- How many rooms, windows or areas are involved
- The amount of work
- Which sealant suits the joint
- Whether the work is at height
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. You will know the price before we begin.
What we need to know
You don’t need to know the technical terms. It helps if you can tell us:
- The problem you’ve noticed
- The rough size of the job
- Pictures of the joints, sent by email
- Whether it’s a home or a business
We do not publish a price list. Instead, we send you a clear quote for your job. To arrange one, drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk.
What we can’t put right
In fairness, some problems need a different trade:
- Sealant in an older building that needs testing for asbestos first
- A tray or worktop that needs refixing first
- A leaking trap, valve or supply pipe
If in doubt, send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk and we will say what we think before booking.
What we seal
- Mouldy bath & shower sealant
- Shrunken worktop sealant
- Expansion joints
- Botched or over-sealed joints
- Leaking tray & enclosure joints
- Failed movement joints
Aftercare tips
Looking after new joints is easy:
- Use a soft cloth, not a scourer, on silicone
- Look for stains below bathrooms now and then
- Report a tray that rocks or a worktop that lifts
- Deal with small splits early
Leave the new joint to cure fully before it gets wet or moves: follow the cure time we give you.
A failing joint rarely gets better on its own. Every shower or downpour sends more water through, into floors, walls or ceilings. Early action keeps it to a sealant job.
Bathrooms and kitchens in Arbroath
Arbroath is within about 1 mile of 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 covers keeping fixtures and fittings in a reasonable state of repair. Tired, leaking sealant is worth putting right before a new tenant moves in.
For an older house near a landmark such as Knox's Church, bathrooms in older houses have often been refitted more than once, with sealant laid over sealant. Letting a property close to Arbroath station? Then a joint that keeps failing is best fixed properly while the property is empty. Schools such as Arbroath High School are buildings too, and its toilets, changing areas and kitchens need their sealant renewed like any other building’s.
