About remedial sealant in Falkirk
Remedial work is what we do when sealant has failed or been done badly. Silicone laid over silicone, smears across tiles, the wrong product in a moving joint or mould trapped underneath all have to come out. Common call-outs are for smears and lumps from a botched reseal and black mould underneath the bead, on leaking tray & enclosure joints, mouldy bath & shower sealant and shrunken worktop sealant.
We bring everything the job needs with us, so you don’t need to buy or prepare anything. Once we’ve agreed what’s being done, the area is protected and the work begins. Most jobs take a few hours, depending on how many layers have to come out.
- We start by checking the joint for movement, leaks and the reason it failed.
- All the old sealant comes out, including any layers underneath.
- We clean the joint, treat any mould and let it dry.
- Where the joint moves, backing and a flexible sealant suited to the movement go in.
- Finally we finish the joint and talk you through what we found.

Remedial sealant across Falkirk: local notes
Across Falkirk, from Grangemouth, Bo'ness and Larbert 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.
Our work covers the whole of Scotland, Falkirk included. Longer journeys are planned in advance, and outdoor work around the weather. Parts of Falkirk are on or near the coast, where wind-driven rain and, closer to the shore, salt air are hard on outside sealant. Joints on seaward walls tend to fail first.
Falkirk: For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Comely Park School, its toilets, changing areas and kitchens need their sealant renewed like any other building’s. If you live in an older home near St. Francis Xavier's Roman Catholic Church, walls and floors in older homes can move, and sealant and grout show it first.
How the job changes by surface
Mouldy bath & shower sealant
Mould can sit behind the silicone, not just in it. We treat the exposed joint once the bead is out.
Leaking trays & enclosures
Repeat shower leaks often come from a tray that flexes or an enclosure sealed in the wrong place. We check both before any new sealant goes on.
What sealant work can’t fix
We’d rather tell you now than do work that won’t last, so these are the limits:
- Plumbing leaks behind walls or under trays
- Failed tanking or loose tiles behind the sealant
- A tray or bath that’s cracked
For landlords and businesses
If you manage several properties in or around Falkirk, several properties can go on one quote. Send us the addresses and the work at each, and pictures by email help.
Housing providers, facilities teams and property managers book us too. We can quote a run of properties together, and we are fully insured for the work.
What happens if it’s left?
Repeat failures have a cause. Taking time to find the cause, whether it’s movement, a leak or the wrong product, is what stops it happening again.

Can I do it myself?
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and doesn’t move well, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
Falkirk questions
Can you do several jobs on one visit?
Of course. Combining jobs makes good use of the visit, so mention them when you ask for a quote.
Can you reseal a split movement joint?
Yes. The depth is set with backing so the sealant only bonds to the two sides.
Are you insured?
Yes. Mr Mastic is fully insured, and we’ve been doing sealant work for more than 20 years.
Can you remove sealant that’s been put over old sealant?
Yes. Both layers come out; over-sealing fails because silicone will not bond to silicone.
Where is Mr Mastic based?
Our base is in Crawley, West Sussex, and we work across South East England, London and Scotland.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just make sure your landlord agrees.
How long will it take to strip and reseal the joint?
That depends on how many layers there are and how many joints. You will have a timescale before any work begins.
