Every job gets its own quote. This is what makes a difference:
- The old material and how stubborn it is
- The type of sealant required
- The number and length of the joints
- The number of rooms or windows
A few things move the cost up or down: how much old sealant there is and how stubborn it is, any mould to treat, and whether the work is at height. We take all of that into account in your quote.

Remedial sealant in Bardowie, done properly
If a joint has been resealed and is leaking again, it’s worth a proper look. Send photos when you email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk, along with when it was last resealed. If you’re dealing with torn expansion joints and beads that never stuck properly, we can help, on failed movement joints, mouldy bath & shower sealant and botched or over-sealed joints alike.
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 usually the first signs.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee.

Why it’s worth doing now in Bardowie
Adding more sealant is the usual quick fix, and it rarely works. It cannot bond to what’s underneath, so the leak carries on and there’s now more to remove. When the nearest tradesperson is a drive away, it’s tempting to leave a small leak, but water behind a failed seal does the most damage when nobody’s watching.
Homes and businesses are quoted the same way: how much there is to do, how we reach it and what it needs, along with when we can work on site. Ask us for a quote and we will go through it with you.

Aftercare tips
Looking after new joints is easy:
- Ask why a joint failed before redoing it
- Keep an eye on the ceiling below the bathroom
- Keep bleach and abrasives off the bead
- Don’t add new sealant on top of old
Give the new sealant its full cure time: usually around 24 hours, or as long as we advise.
Don’t keep resealing the same joint. Get the cause found first, or the next bead will go the same way.

What remedial sealant looks like in Bardowie
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. 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.
If you look after a building such as Boclair Academy, 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.

The process
When we get to you, we compare the joints with what we discussed. If anything is different, we explain it before carrying on.

Mention tracks, gates, ferries or anything else about the route.
- First we find out how and where the joint has failed.
- All the old sealant comes out, including any layers underneath.
- Next, any mould is treated and the joint dried.
- Moving joints get backing and a flexible sealant to suit.
- The new joint is tooled neatly and we explain anything else we found.
Before we arrive
- Mention any parking rules near the property
- For business premises, tell us about site rules or sign-in
- Move anything stored near the joints

Related advice
What we are called out for in Bardowie
Sealant needs a clean, dry surface with no grease on it. Soap film, dust, damp or old residue stop it gripping, so it starts lifting sooner than it should.
It’s worth asking for a quote if you see:
- Dark patches showing through the sealant
- Caulk or the wrong sealant used in a wet area
- Smears and lumps from a botched reseal
- Leaks that keep coming back after resealing
Rented homes near Milngavie station change hands often, and failed or mouldy sealant is worth putting right between tenancies, before it turns into a leak.
What your quote should include
- What product goes in the joint
- What insurance they hold
- Whether they seal over old material or remove it
- How the surfaces are prepared before sealing
DIY sealant or a professional job?
A DIY attempt doesn’t rule out a professional job. We cut it out and start again, so just mention it when you contact us.
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
When something else is needed
In fairness, there are a few things sealant won’t fix:
- Old mastic in a building from before 2000 that should be checked for asbestos before it’s disturbed
- A leaking trap, valve or supply pipe
- A cracked shower tray or bath (that needs repair or replacing)
If you are not sure, just send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.
