Our remedial sealant service in East Ayrshire
A movement joint stops working when its sealant splits or sets hard. The old sealant comes out and backing goes in to control the depth, before resealing with a flexible product suited to the movement. We work on leaking tray & enclosure joints, failed movement joints and expansion joints, and people most often call us about caulk or the wrong sealant used in a wet area and a shower that leaks however often it’s resealed.
On the day, there’s very little for you to do. Point us to the joints and we will get on with it. The job generally takes a few hours, depending on how many layers have to come out from start to finish.
- Surrounding tiles, trays and frames are protected first.
- Every layer of failed sealant is stripped out.
- The joint is degreased and checked for movement and leaks.
- New sealant goes in once the joint is dry, and is tooled smooth.
- You get the cure time and our view on why the joint failed.

Remedial sealant across East Ayrshire: local notes
Across East Ayrshire, from Kilmarnock, Stewarton and Cumnock outwards, we see bathrooms and kitchens of every age. Sealant and grout wear out in all of them, whether it’s a family bathroom, a rented flat or a hotel en suite.
The west of Scotland is wetter than the east, but outside joints take plenty of weather everywhere, while generally soft water means less limescale indoors but no less mould. That shapes the choice of sealant for jobs across East Ayrshire. Along the coast in East Ayrshire, window and wall joints facing the sea take the brunt of the weather, so they’re often the first to fail. The right product and careful preparation help it last.
Kilmarnock: Letting a property close to Kilmarnock station? Then a joint that keeps failing is best fixed properly while the property is empty. In the older streets around Henderson Church Of Scotland, older homes can move a little, which is hard on rigid grout and tired sealant.
What we’re called out for in East Ayrshire
How a joint is built matters as much as the product. Sealant packed too deep, or stuck to the back of the joint as well as the sides, can’t stretch, and tears at the first real movement. Backing rod or bond-breaker tape prevents it.
It’s worth asking for a quote if you see:
- Sealant applied over old sealant that has lifted
- Torn expansion joints
- Dark patches showing through the sealant
- Caulk or the wrong sealant used in a wet area
How we quote for remedial sealant
Your quote is based on your job. We take into account:
- Whether the work is at height
- Any mould that needs treating
- How many rooms, windows or areas are involved
- Any working-time requirements on site
A few things move the cost up or down: the old material and how easily it comes out, any mould to treat, and whether we need extra access for height. We take all of that into account in your quote.
Asking for a quote
When you contact us, it’s useful to know:
- What’s wrong with the joints now
- Pictures of the joints, sent by email
- Roughly how big the job is
- How we’d reach the joints
The more we know about the job, the more useful the quote. Let us know the location, the problem and roughly how many joints.
Keeping the joints in good condition
Good habits help new joints last longer. A few tips:
- Keep bleach and abrasives off the bead
- Never fill a movement joint with mortar or grout
- Always have old sealant cut out, not covered
- Check trays and worktops don’t move
If we have found a cause, such as a loose tray or a leaking waste, get it fixed, or the new joint may fail again.
Mould under a second layer of sealant keeps growing out of sight. By the time it shows through, the joint is well past saving.
How the job changes by surface
Worktops & kitchens
Shrunken worktop sealant leaves a gap that lets water into the back edge. We strip it, degrease the joint and reseal.
Windows & doors
A frame that keeps leaking may not be the mastic. We check the joint and tell you if it looks to be something else.
Work for landlords, hotels and businesses
In hotels, rooms out of use cost money, so we plan the work room by room. We have worked in hotels as well as homes and businesses.
Letting agents and landlords in East Ayrshire can book us as well as homeowners. Sealant work between tenants is a simple way to keep a property in good order.
FAQs for East Ayrshire
Do you have insurance?
Yes, we are fully insured for every job we do.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
Can you do several jobs on one visit?
Yes. Tell us about everything you’d like done.
Is it messy?
We keep the work tidy. Nearby surfaces are protected, and we clear up when we are done.
Are you an approved applicator?
Yes. We are approved under the ARBOMaster scheme, which is run for the Arbo sealant brand.
Will the old sealant be removed?
Yes, every time. New silicone doesn’t stick to old silicone, so the joint is cleaned back first.

Only a few details: the address or postcode, what’s wrong and any access issues. Then send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk.
