DIY sealant or a professional job?
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that’s fine. We cut it out and start again, so just mention it when you contact us.
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, such as a straightforward joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.
How we handle remedial sealant in Auldcathie
A joint that keeps failing normally has a reason. Movement, the wrong product or a leak from somewhere else will beat any new bead. Finding that cause comes before any new sealant. We work on failed movement joints, botched or over-sealed joints and mouldy bath & shower sealant, and common reasons people get in touch are repeat leaks from the same joint and sealant peeling off a dusty or damp surface.
Across smaller places in Scotland, homes range from stone and harled cottages to newer houses. Where a building moves, cracked grout and split sealant are generally the first signs.
Your job is guaranteed for a year, as with all our work.

FAQs for Auldcathie
I let a flat near Uphall station. Can you help?
Yes. We work for letting agents and landlords as well as homeowners. Just send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk with the address and what needs doing, and we’ll send you a clear quote.
Do you cover smaller places like Auldcathie?
Yes, we do. We work across all of Scotland, from towns to the smallest places. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
Does remedial work come with a guarantee?
Yes, for 12 months. If we’ve pointed out another problem, getting it fixed helps the new joint last.
Do the sealants smell?
Possibly a little. It fades as the sealant cures, and ventilation helps.
What if the leak isn’t the sealant?
You’ll hear it from us. A cracked tray, faulty valve or leaking waste needs a different trade, so we won’t pretend it will.
Are you insured?
Yes. We’re fully insured.
Where is Mr Mastic based?
We work from Crawley. We cover Auldcathie and the rest of West Lothian.
Can you match the sealant colour?
Yes. White, clear and grey are common, and other colours are available, and we agree the colour with you before any work starts.
Surface by surface
Worktops & kitchens
A loose worktop splits its sealant. It needs fixing down first, which we will point out.
Windows & doors
A frame that keeps leaking may not be the mastic. We check the joint and tell you if it looks to be something else.
How to look after the new joints
Aftercare is simple:
- Report a tray that rocks or a worktop that lifts
- Keep bleach and abrasives off the bead
- Air the bathroom so the sealant can dry
- Don’t add new sealant on top of old
Keep the room ventilated: run the fan during and after showers, or open a window.
If a joint has failed more than once, stop resealing it. Get the cause found first, or the next bead will go the same way.
What affects the quote in Auldcathie
There’s no set price list. What we look at:
- When we can work, for business premises
- How easy the joints are to reach
- The type of sealant required
- Mould in or behind the old joints
Every job is a little different, so we quote each one individually. Size, access and the product the joint needs all play a part.
Asking for a quote
Photos by email are helpful but not essential. Try to tell us:
- The type of property
- The problem you’ve noticed

What sealant work can’t fix
A few problems are outside what sealant work can do:
- Sealant in an older building that needs testing for asbestos first
- Failed tanking or loose tiles behind the sealant
- Cracks in the fitting rather than the joint
Not sure which it is? You can email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk and we will tell you honestly.
Joints and surfaces we work on
- Shrunken worktop sealant
- Expansion joints
- Failed movement joints
- Mouldy bath & shower sealant
- Botched or over-sealed joints
- Leaking tray & enclosure joints
For landlords and businesses
From a single let to a portfolio, the work is the same standard: old sealant fully removed, joints prepared properly and a one-year guarantee.
Mouldy or split sealant often shows up at the end of a tenancy. We can quote for more than one property at once.
Remedial sealant around Auldcathie
Auldcathie is within about 3 miles of the coast. Coastal homes, holiday lets and guest houses can see heavy bathroom use in busy months, and sealant and grout that work that hard wear out sooner. Scottish Water supplies are generally soft, so limescale is less of a problem than in hard-water areas. Mould is another matter: a bathroom that stays damp still turns sealant and grout black.
If you let a flat or house near Uphall station, failed or mouldy sealant is worth putting right between tenancies, before it turns into a leak. Managing a site like Winchburgh Academy? Then washroom and kitchen sealant there needs the same care as at home, and schools and businesses are part of our work as well as homes. In the older streets around Auldcathie Church, walls and floors in older homes can move, and sealant and grout show it first.

What happens on the day
We work through the job in order: protection first, then preparation, sealing and a tidy-up. Typically it takes a few hours for most joints, depending on how much old sealant has to come out. Outdoor work around Auldcathie depends on the weather, as sealant needs a dry surface, so external jobs may need to move if the day turns wet. Work indoors is not affected.
- 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.
- Once dry, a suitable sealant is applied and tooled.
- We give you the cure time and explain what caused the failure.
