How the job changes by surface
Over-sealed & botched joints
A thick bead smeared across tiles often hides mould or gaps. Taking it back shows what’s underneath, then reseal neatly.
Mouldy bath & shower sealant
Black mould inside the bead won’t scrub out. All of it comes out, and the joint is treated and dried before anti-fungal sanitary silicone goes in.
About our remedial sealant in Auchtermuchty
If a joint has been resealed and is leaking again, it’s worth a proper look. Send photos when you drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk. We are often asked to deal with repeat leaks from the same joint and decorators’ caulk around a bath or shower, on shrunken worktop sealant, leaking tray & enclosure joints and mouldy bath & shower sealant.
For a place like Auchtermuchty, the job is the same as anywhere: 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.
Our work is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you are.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Auchtermuchty
If you manage several properties in or around Auchtermuchty, several properties can go on one quote. Send us the addresses and the work at each.
We work for landlords and letting agents as well as householders. Resealing between tenancies keeps a property looking cared for.
Can I do it myself?
Not every job suits DIY: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. New silicone won’t bond to old, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. Everything old must be removed first.
What happens if it’s left?
Stripping out botched sealant adds time to a reseal, but rarely a lot: it takes a few hours for a typical bath or shower, longer where several layers have been applied. It’s far less disruption than resealing the same joint again and again. Out of town in Scotland, exposed walls take a lot of weather, and damp in stone or harled walls takes a long time to dry once water gets behind a joint.
What it costs depends on the size of the job, how hard the old material is to remove and access to the work. We give a clear quote before we start.

The process
Once we are on site, we compare the joints with what we discussed. If we find something unexpected, we talk it through with you first. Most jobs then take a few hours for most joints, depending on how much old sealant has to come out. Around Auchtermuchty, distance and access matter more than parking. Tell us how to find the property and how to reach the work.
- Surrounding tiles, trays and frames are protected first.
- The botched or failed sealant is cut away completely.
- The joint is degreased and checked for movement and leaks.
- Once dry, a suitable sealant is applied and tooled.
- We give you the cure time and explain what caused the failure.
Getting ready for the visit

When to call us in Auchtermuchty
Water from somewhere else can ruin a good seal. A slow leak behind the tiles soaks the joint from the back, so the silicone goes mouldy or lets go.
These are the problems we’re asked about most:
- Floor or wall movement joints that have failed
- Dark patches showing through the sealant
- Leaks that keep coming back after resealing
- Decorators’ caulk around a bath or shower
Homes close to Parish Church include some older properties, and bathrooms in older houses have often been refitted more than once, with sealant laid over sealant.
What your quote should include
- Whether all the old sealant comes out first
- When the joint can take water or movement
- Which colour the sealant will be
- What the quote includes, VAT included or not
What we can’t put right
New sealant cannot fix everything, and we’ll tell you before work begins. Sealant won’t put right:
- Plumbing leaks behind walls or under trays
- A tray or worktop that needs refixing first
- A tray or bath that’s cracked

Tired, leaking sealant is worth putting right before a new tenant moves in. Scotland’s water is generally soft, so sealant and grout see less limescale than in much of England. But mould still grows into sealant and grout in a room that doesn’t dry out.
