About our remedial sealant in Armadale
If a joint fails again and again, something is causing it. Movement, the wrong product or a leak from somewhere else will defeat even a perfect bead. Finding that cause comes before any new sealant. Common call-outs are for caulk or the wrong sealant used in a wet area and sealant peeling off a dusty or damp surface, on leaking tray & enclosure joints, mouldy bath & shower sealant and expansion joints.
For a place like Armadale, the job is the same as anywhere: old material out, joints cleaned and dried, and a fresh, even finish. We just plan the journey and access beforehand.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you’re not left on your own once the job is done.

Questions from Armadale
I let a flat near Armadale station. Can you help?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for, and several properties can be quoted together. You can email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk with the details for a clear quote.
Is Armadale in your area for remedial sealant?
Yes, Armadale is within the area we cover. Our work covers the whole of Scotland. You can drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk and tell us what needs doing.
Do you offer different sealant colours?
Yes. White, clear and grey are common, and other colours are available, and we’ll agree it with you first.
Should I try DIY first?
For a simple, easy-to-reach joint, a careful DIYer can do a reasonable job. The usual mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using too much.
Will the old sealant be removed?
Yes. We cut out all the old sealant and clean the joint.
Someone resealed my shower and it’s leaking again. Can you help?
Yes. We check it’s the sealant and not the tray, valve or waste, then the joints are stripped and resealed.
What does remedial sealant cost?
Every job is different, so each one gets its own quote. To get one, email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk and tell us what needs doing and where.
What happens if the problem is the tray or the plumbing?
In that case, we tell you what we have found. You may need a plumber or bathroom fitter.
Surface by surface
Mouldy bath & shower sealant
Mould can sit behind the silicone, not just in it. Once it’s all removed, the joint is treated.
Movement & expansion joints
Joints filled with mortar, grout or rigid filler can’t move. We rake that out where it can be removed and seal with a flexible product.

How to look after the new joints
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Look for stains below bathrooms now and then
- Act on a lifting corner right away
- Have loose fittings fixed before resealing
- Never seal over old silicone
Leave the new joint to cure fully before it gets wet or moves: follow the cure time we give you.
Leaks through failed sealant grow over time. Every shower or downpour sends more water through, into floors, walls or ceilings. Sorting it early limits the damage.
How we quote for remedial sealant
Some jobs are bigger than they look, and some smaller. The main factors:
- The type of sealant required
- Working hours on commercial sites
- Whether old sealant or filler has to be cut out
- The number of rooms or windows
Combining jobs into one visit generally makes better use of the time than several visits, so it’s worth mentioning everything you’d like done. You’ll get one clear quote for the whole job.
Helping us quote
Before you ask for a quote, have a think about:
- Pictures of the joints, sent by email
- If it’s domestic, commercial or a hotel
- What the problem is, such as mould, gaps, leaks or cracking
- Roughly how big the job is
Getting a quote is simple: let us know the job and the location and its rough size. A few pictures by email make the job easier to understand, and we will come back to you with a quote.

Remedial sealant in Armadale: local notes
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. Scottish Water supplies are generally soft, so limescale is less of a problem than in hard-water areas. But mould still grows into sealant and grout in a room that doesn’t dry out.
If you let a flat or house near Armadale station, botched sealant from a previous quick fix is easier to strip out between tenants.
