How we handle remedial sealant in Banchory
With more than 20 years’ experience, our applicators have seen most of the ways sealant can fail. We are ARBOMaster approved and fully insured, and every remedial job comes with a 12-month guarantee. We work on botched or over-sealed joints, expansion joints and shrunken worktop sealant, and common reasons people get in touch are black mould underneath the bead and torn expansion joints.
Bathrooms in smaller places like Banchory 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.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something is not right with it in that time, tell us and we’ll put it right.

The process
When we get to you, we check the joints match what you told us. If we find something unexpected, we talk it through with you first. Most jobs then take a few hours, depending on how many layers have to come out. Outdoor work around Banchory depends on the weather, as sealant needs a dry surface, so an outdoor job can move if the forecast changes. Indoor work goes ahead whatever the weather.
- Surrounding tiles, trays and frames are protected first.
- The botched or failed sealant is cut away completely.
- We clean and degrease the joint and look for signs of movement or water.
- Once dry, a suitable sealant is applied and tooled.
- We give you the cure time and explain what caused the failure.
Before we arrive
- Mention any parking rules near the property
- Keep children and pets away from the work area
- Clear items away from the joints we are working on

Common questions in Banchory
Is Banchory in your area for remedial sealant?
Yes, Banchory is within the area we cover. Our work covers the whole of Scotland. Just drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk with a few details of the job, and we will give you a clear price.
Is Banchory within the area you cover?
Yes, we do. Our work covers the whole of Scotland, and smaller places are part of that. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
What information do you need?
A short description and the location, with pictures by email if possible. We’ll ask anything else we need to know.
Do you offer different sealant colours?
Generally, yes. Sealants come in white, clear, grey and other colours for many products, and we will agree it with you first.
Should I try DIY first?
You can, for simple jobs. Preparation is everything: all the old sealant out, and a clean, dry joint. We can always put it right if it fails.
Can you remove sealant that is been put over old sealant?
Yes. Stripping layered sealant takes longer than a normal reseal, but it’s the only way the new joint will last.
Do you work for hotels and businesses?
Yes. Hotels, offices and other businesses use us and we are fully insured.
Do you fix expansion and movement joints?
Yes. Backing sets the depth and stops the sealant sticking to the back.
Surface by surface
Worktops & kitchens
Kitchen joints hold grease and residue, so cleaning takes longer than in a bathroom.
Windows & doors
Failed frame mastic is often hard, cracked and in several layers. All of it is cut out and the frame and wall cleaned.
DIY versus a professional finish
A DIY attempt does not rule out a professional job. We cut it out and start again, so just mention it when you contact us.
If you do try it yourself, take your time over the preparation: take out all the old sealant, make sure the joint is clean and dry, and give it the full cure time. If it fails, we can still redo it.

Signs you need remedial sealant in Banchory
A lot of failed joints have been sealed over rather than replaced. New silicone can’t stick to the old bead, so the new layer peels, and damp and mould settle between them.
The most common problems we see are:
- Movement joints that have split or pulled away
- Products that weren’t meant for the joint
- Sealant peeling off a dusty or damp surface
- Mould trapped under a layer of silicone
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Banchory Academy, we reseal washrooms and kitchens in schools and businesses as well as homes.

- Whether VAT is included
- Whether they seal over old material or remove it
Why it’s worth doing now in Banchory
Mould under a bead can’t be reached by cleaning. The layers have to come out. In an older home around Banchory, damp from a failed joint can get into timber and plaster, which is a far bigger job than the sealant.
No two jobs are quite the same, so we quote each one individually. Size, access and the product the joint needs all play a part, and we’ll explain the quote if you ask.

- Pictures of the joints, sent by email
