Remedial sealant in Balgowan
In Balgowan, as anywhere, remedial jobs tend to look alike: over-sealed joints, hidden mould, repeat leaks and split movement joints. Each is stripped back and done again properly. If you have sealant peeling off a dusty or damp surface and a shower that leaks however often it’s resealed, we can help, on failed movement joints, leaking tray & enclosure joints and botched or over-sealed joints alike.
Bathrooms in smaller places like Balgowan work just as hard as those in the cities. Limescale is less of a problem with Scotland’s generally soft water, but mould still takes hold in damp sealant and grout.
Your job is guaranteed for a year, as with all our work.

Common questions in Balgowan
Is remedial sealant in Balgowan guaranteed?
All our work, in Balgowan and everywhere else, comes with a 12-month guarantee. We are fully insured, and an ARBOMaster approved applicator.
Will you come out to Balgowan?
Yes, we do. We work across all of Scotland, from towns to the smallest places. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
Can I choose the sealant colour?
Yes. Sealants come in white, clear, grey and other colours, and we agree the colour with you before work begins.
Are you ARBOMaster approved?
Yes. We hold ARBOMaster approved applicator status and we are fully insured too.
Where are you based?
Our base is Crawley. Our area covers South East England, London and Scotland.
Is there any odour?
It depends on the product. Some products have a noticeable smell, others very little.
How long does remedial resealing take?
Allow a few hours for a typical bath or shower, longer where several layers have been applied. We will give you a timescale when we quote.
Will it make a mess?
No. The area is protected while we work and cleaned up afterwards.
Leave it or put it right?
Spraying mould remover on a sealed-over joint doesn’t reach what’s underneath. Removal is the only way to get at it, and the joint treated and dried before resealing. In a place like Balgowan, small leaks are easy to put off, but water behind a failed seal does the most damage when nobody’s watching.
Rather than a set price list, we price the job in front of us: how many joints, what’s in them now and how we reach them. You’ll know the price before we begin.
What you get with us
- We leave the area clean and tidy
- Any old sealant cut out fully, not covered over
- More than 20 years in sealant work
- Quality sealants from Arbo and Everbuild

Different surfaces, different methods
Windows & doors
Wrong-coloured or messy mastic can be replaced for appearance too, matched to the frame colour.
Mouldy bath & shower sealant
Mould can sit behind the silicone, not just in it. We treat the exposed joint once the bead is out.
When something else is needed
We will not take on work that will not last, so here’s what sealant cannot put right:
- Water damage behind tiles that needs a tiler
- Old mastic in a building from before 2000 that should be checked for asbestos before it’s disturbed
- Movement from fittings that are not supported
Not sure which it is? You can email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

- Expansion joints
- Failed movement joints

How the visit works
You don’t need to clear the whole room or building before we come, only the area right around the joints. Everything nearby is protected, and the work takes a few hours, depending on how many layers have to come out for a typical job. In smaller Scottish places, parking is usually less of an issue than access and distance. Tell us how to find the property and how to reach the work.
- 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.
- New sealant goes in once the joint is dry, and is tooled smooth.
- We give you the cure time and explain what caused the failure.
Before we arrive
- Clear the area around the work
- For business premises, tell us about site rules or sign-in
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before

DIY sealant or a professional job?
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.
Aftercare tips
To keep the joints looking good and working properly:
- Do not wait for a small gap to become a leak
- Check trays and worktops don’t move
- Check ceilings under showers for marks
- Keep movement joints clear of mortar and paint
Don’t let anyone seal over it later. New silicone doesn’t bond to old.
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 cost of remedial sealant
We quote each job individually. These are the things that affect it:
- Mould in or behind the old joints
- Whether the work is at height
- How many rooms, windows or areas are involved
- The size of the job
Doing several joints on one visit usually makes better use of the time than several visits, so tell us about everything that needs sealing. You’ll get one clear quote for the whole job.
What we need to know
To help us quote quickly, please include:
- Whether it’s a home or a business
- Any access issues, like height or stairs
- Pictures of the joints, sent by email
- Any previous sealing or DIY work
Asking for a quote is easy: let us know the job and the location and its rough size. Photos by email help us understand the job.
Remedial sealant in Balgowan: local notes
In Scotland, private landlords have to 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 does not dry out.
Around Balgowan, as everywhere, remedial sealant is only as good as the preparation behind it. For jobs in and around Balgowan, choosing the right material for each joint is as important as a tidy finish.
