Remedial sealant for homes and businesses in Balmirmer
Movement and expansion joints fail when the sealant can’t stretch. The old sealant comes out and backing goes in to control the depth, then a flexible sealant matched to the movement goes in. We work on mouldy bath & shower sealant, leaking tray & enclosure joints and botched or over-sealed joints, and people most often call us about sealant applied over old sealant that has lifted and sealant that came away because the surface wasn’t prepared.
Across smaller places in Scotland, homes range from stone and harled cottages to newer houses. Older buildings can move a little, and that shows first in cracked grout and split sealant.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

Bathrooms and kitchens in Balmirmer
Balmirmer is close to 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. 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.
For landlords with property near Carnoustie station, failed or mouldy sealant is worth putting right between tenancies, before it turns into a leak. Around Balmirmer, as everywhere, remedial sealant is only as good as the preparation behind it.
Balmirmer is about 3 miles north-east of Carnoustie, in Angus. We provide remedial sealant to homeowners, landlords and businesses in Balmirmer. Balmirmer is one of 40 places in Angus where we work for remedial sealant. For nearby work, see our Dundee page.

Why it’s worth doing now in Balmirmer
Repeat failures have a cause. Taking time to find the cause, whether it’s movement, a leak or the wrong product, is what stops it happening again. In a place like Balmirmer, small leaks are easy to put off, but water behind a failed seal does the most damage when nobody’s watching.
Leaving a failed joint usually makes the job bigger, not smaller. If you are not sure whether it needs doing, send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk for an honest opinion and a quote.

What else we do in Balmirmer
Should I try it myself first?
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. New silicone won’t bond to old, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. All the old material has to come out first.
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and doesn’t move well, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.
How it works
There’s no need to move everything out, only the area right around the joints. Everything nearby is protected, and the work takes a few hours for most joints, depending on how much old sealant has to come out for a typical job. For a place like Balmirmer, longer drives are planned in advance. Mention tracks, gates, ferries or anything else about the route.
- First we work out whether the problem is the sealant, movement or a leak.
- Old beads and residue are removed down to clean surfaces.
- Mould is treated and the joint dried.
- The right product goes in, with backing where the joint moves.
- The joint is tooled and you are told about anything else we found.
How to prepare
- For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can
- On commercial sites, let us know about site rules
- Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work

Aftercare tips
After the cure time, these simple habits help:
- Act on a lifting corner straight away
- Run the fan after every shower
- Don’t point over movement joints
- Use a soft cloth, not a scourer, on silicone
Give the new sealant its full cure time: follow the cure time we give you.
A split movement joint lets rain into walls and floors, and left long enough, the edges of the joint can crumble. Resealing while the edges are sound is simpler.
