Our remedial sealant service in East Dunbartonshire
Decorators’ caulk in a shower, bathroom silicone on a window, a rigid filler in a movement joint fails however neatly it’s applied. We take it out and use a sealant made for that joint. We work on mouldy bath & shower sealant, botched or over-sealed joints and failed movement joints, and common reasons people get in touch are over-sealed joints coming away and mould trapped under a layer of silicone.
We work through the job in order: protection first, then preparation, sealing and a tidy-up. For most jobs that takes a few hours for a typical bath or shower, longer where several layers have been applied, and the area is left clean.
- We protect the surfaces around the joint.
- 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.

Where we work in East Dunbartonshire
In East Dunbartonshire, remedial sealant takes in flats, houses, rentals and businesses, in Kirkintilloch, Bearsden and Bishopbriggs and well beyond. Wherever the job is, all the old material comes out before anything new goes in.
We work across all of Scotland, from the cities to the islands, and East Dunbartonshire is part of that. Longer journeys are planned in advance, and outdoor work around the weather.
Kirkintilloch: Rented homes near Lenzie station change hands often, and failed or mouldy sealant is worth putting right between tenancies, before it turns into a leak. Schools such as Kirkintilloch High School are buildings too, and we reseal washrooms and kitchens in schools and businesses as well as homes.
What we’re called out for in East Dunbartonshire
Using the wrong product is a common cause: caulk where it gets wet, rigid sealant where things move, or an acetoxy silicone on a surface it can mark. None of them last.
These are the problems we’re asked about most:
- A second bead peeling off the first
- Products that weren’t meant for the joint
- Movement joints that have split or pulled away
- Black mould underneath the bead
What happens if it’s left?
Hidden water does the most damage: wet floors, stained ceilings and swollen worktops. Dealing with the joint now is a small job by comparison.

Surface by surface
Worktops & kitchens
Old kitchen sealant pulls back from the wall over time. We strip it, degrease the joint and reseal colour-matched to the worktop.
Leaking trays & enclosures
A cracked tray, failed valve or leaking waste needs a different fix. We say so rather than reseal.
What sealant work can’t fix
It helps to know what we cannot do too:
- Plumbing leaks behind walls or under trays
- A cracked shower tray or bath (that needs repair or replacing)
- Old mastic in a building from before 2000 that should be checked for asbestos before it’s disturbed
What affects the cost of remedial sealant
The quote reflects the job in front of us. We look at:
- The number and length of the joints
- Whether the work is at height
- How many rooms, windows or areas are involved
- Whether old sealant or filler has to be cut out
What you pay reflects the work, not a rough estimate. That is why we ask a few questions first and send you a clear quote before work begins.
Asking for a quote
Photos by email are helpful but not essential. Please mention:
- The address or postcode of the job
- If it’s domestic, commercial or a hotel
- Whether it has been sealed before
- A few pictures by email, if you can
A good description makes for an accurate quote. Tell us where the job is, what’s wrong and how much there is.
East Dunbartonshire: your questions answered
Can I choose the sealant colour?
Most of the time, yes. We’ll tell you which colours the right product comes in.
Do you remove the old sealant?
Yes. We cut out all the old sealant and clean the joint before resealing.
How do I get a quote for remedial sealant in East Dunbartonshire?
Every job is different, so each one gets its own quote. To get one, email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk with a short description of the job.
What should I tell you?
Only a few details: where it is, what you’ve noticed and how we reach it. After that, simply drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk.
Can I do it myself?
Some simple jobs can be done by a careful DIYer. The usual mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using too much.
My shower still leaks after a reseal. Can you sort it?
Yes. There’s usually a reason: sealant over sealant, movement or another leak, and we deal with the cause first.
Are you ARBOMaster approved?
Yes. We’re ARBOMaster approved, the scheme for applicators of Arbo sealants.
