Bathrooms and kitchens in Arthurlie
Private landlords in Scotland must be registered and meet the Repairing Standard, which includes keeping fixtures and fittings in reasonable repair. Tired, leaking sealant is worth putting right before a new tenant moves in. 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.
Schools such as Barrhead High School are buildings too, and we reseal washrooms and kitchens in schools and businesses as well as homes. Homes close to Bourock Parish Church include some older properties, and timber floors under older bathrooms flex, so joints need a sealant that moves with them.

Remedial sealant in Arthurlie, done properly
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 need stripping out. Typical jobs include dark patches showing through the sealant and smears and lumps from a botched reseal, across botched or over-sealed joints, shrunken worktop sealant and mouldy bath & shower sealant.
Being further from a city doesn’t change the work: everything old is cut out, the joints are cleaned and dried, and new sealant or grout goes in. The journey and access are simply planned in advance.
All of our work is guaranteed for twelve months.

DIY sealant or a professional job?
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is, then guaranteed for a year.
A DIY attempt doesn’t rule out a professional job. We cut it out and start again.
Keeping the joints in good condition
Once the sealant has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Keep the room well ventilated
- Ask why a joint failed before redoing it
- Use a soft cloth, not a scourer, on silicone
- Never seal over old silicone
Where we’ve pointed out another fault, have it put right, or the new joint may fail again.
Movement joints that have split let water into the structure, and the longer it’s left, the more the joint edges break down. A joint with sound edges is far easier to reseal.
The process
On the day, we start by going over the job with you, so there are no surprises. Surfaces next to the work are protected before any work begins. The work normally takes a few hours for most joints, depending on how much old sealant has to come out. Outside jobs in Arthurlie need a dry day, because sealant will not bond to a wet joint, so external jobs may need to move if the day turns wet. Work indoors isn’t affected.
- We look at how the sealant has failed and check for movement or a leak path.
- We strip the joint completely, removing any layers below.
- 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.
- We tool the joint and tell you about anything else that needs attention.
How to prepare
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before
- For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can
- Clear the area around the work

Signs you need remedial sealant in Arthurlie
A lot of failed joints have been sealed over rather than replaced. New silicone cannot stick to the old bead, so the top layer lifts and water and mould collect between the two.
It’s worth asking for a quote if you see:
- Wide, uneven beads that look worse than the old ones
- A shower that leaks however often it’s resealed
- Kitchen joints letting water behind the worktop
- Movement joints that have split or pulled away
For landlords with property near Barrhead station, botched sealant from a previous quick fix is easier to strip out between tenants.

Commercial jobs are quoted on the same basis as homes: the amount of work, how we reach it and what it needs. Ask us for a quote and we’ll go through it with you.

Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for. You can send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk with the details for a clear quote.
Can you reseal a split movement joint?
Yes. If a joint has been filled with mortar or rigid filler, we rake it out where possible, and reseal with a flexible product.
Can you take off two layers of silicone?
Yes. Both layers come out; new silicone doesn’t bond to old silicone, which is why over-sealing fails.

Yes. We are fully insured.
What if the leak isn’t the sealant?
Then we explain what we have found. You may need a plumber or bathroom fitter.
