About our remedial sealant in Banton
Remedial work is what we do when sealant has failed or been done badly. Silicone laid over silicone, smears across tiles, the wrong product in a moving joint or mould trapped underneath all need stripping out. We work on botched or over-sealed joints, failed movement joints and mouldy bath & shower sealant, and common reasons people get in touch are black mould underneath the bead and wide, uneven beads that look worse than the old ones.
Bathrooms in smaller places like Banton 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.
You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Banton as everywhere else we work.

Signs you need remedial sealant in Banton
Some joints fail because water is reaching them from behind. A slow leak behind the tiles soaks the joint from the back, so the silicone goes mouldy or lets go.
Common reasons people contact us include:
- Sealant that came away because the surface wasn’t prepared
- Kitchen joints letting water behind the worktop
- Floor or wall movement joints that have failed
- Smears and lumps from a botched reseal
If you let a flat or house near Croy station, botched sealant from a previous quick fix is easier to strip out between tenants.
Questions to ask before you book
- How hidden problems are handled
- Whether the sealant suits the joint
- How the joint is cleaned and prepared

How to look after the new joints
How long the joints last depends on use and care. We suggest:
- Have loose fittings fixed before resealing
- Keep bleach and abrasives off the bead
- Air the bathroom so the sealant can dry
- Check ceilings under showers for marks
If the joint ever needs renewing, have it cut out, not sealed over. New silicone does not bond to old.
Movement joints that have split let water into the structure, and the longer it’s left, the more the joint edges break down. A joint with sound edges is far easier to reseal.
What we do, step by step
There’s no need to move everything out, only the area right around the joints. We protect the rest, and the job takes a few hours, depending on how many layers have to come out in most cases. Outdoor work around Banton 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.
- The failure is looked at first, so we know whether it’s sealant, movement or water from elsewhere.
- Old beads and residue are removed down to clean surfaces.
- Mould is treated and the joint dried.
- We reseal with a product suited to the joint, backed where needed.
- We finish neatly and point out anything that needs another trade.
Before we arrive
- Tell us about any previous sealing or DIY attempts
- Let us know about stairs, lifts or work at height
- For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can

DIY sealant or a professional job?
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.
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. New silicone will not bond to old, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. Everything old must be removed first.
Banton questions
I let a flat near Croy station. Can you help?
Yes, we work for landlords and agents. Just email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk and tell us about the property, and we’ll give you a clear quote.
Is Banton in your area for remedial sealant?

What sealant do you use?
Products from Arbo and Everbuild, among others, picked for each joint. We will tell you what we’re using and why.
Are you insured?
Yes. We are fully insured, with over 20 years’ experience in sealant work.
Will it make a mess?
Tidy work is part of the job. Nearby surfaces are protected.
What happens if the problem is the tray or the plumbing?
In that case, we tell you what we’ve found. A plumber or fitter may be needed before any new sealant goes on.
Should I try DIY first?
For a simple, easy-to-reach joint, a careful DIYer can do a reasonable job. The usual mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using too much.

What affects the cost of remedial sealant
Jobs vary more than people expect. What affects the quote:
- The type of sealant required
- The old material and how stubborn it is
- Any working-time requirements on site
- Mould in or behind the old joints
No two jobs are quite the same, so we quote each one individually. The number of joints, how easy they are to reach and the sealant needed all play a part, and we’ll explain the quote if you ask.
What to tell us for a quote
When you call or email, it’s useful to know:
- The problem you’ve noticed
- Pictures of the joints, sent by email
- Access, such as stairs, a lift or height
- The rough size of the job
Every job is quoted individually. Just drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk with the details.
What we can’t put right
Some problems need a builder, plumber or other trade rather than us:
- A bath, tray or worktop that moves until it’s properly fixed
- Tiles that have come away from the wall
- A leaking trap, valve or supply pipe
Not sure which it is? You can drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.
Joints and surfaces we work on

Surface by surface
Windows & doors
A frame that keeps leaking may not be the mastic. If the frame joint is not the cause, we’ll say so.
Worktops & kitchens
Kitchen joints hold grease and residue, so cleaning takes longer than in a bathroom before resealing.
Bathrooms and kitchens in Banton
Private landlords in Scotland must be registered and meet the Repairing Standard, which covers keeping fixtures and fittings in a reasonable state of repair. 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.
Homes close to Banton Church include some older properties, and older homes can move a little, which is hard on rigid grout and tired sealant.
