How the job changes by surface
Windows & doors
A frame that keeps leaking may not be the mastic. We check the joint and tell you if it looks to be something else.
Movement & expansion joints
Movement joints in floors, walls and façades need a flexible sealant set to the right depth. We remove the failed sealant, fit backing and reseal.
Remedial sealant in Bonchester Bridge
Two decades of sealant work means we recognise most failures quickly. We are fully insured ARBOMaster approved applicators, and remedial work carries our one-year guarantee. We work on leaking tray & enclosure joints, botched or over-sealed joints and expansion joints, and common reasons people get in touch are mould trapped under a layer of silicone and sealant that came away because the surface wasn’t prepared.
For a place like Bonchester Bridge, the job is the same as anywhere: everything old is cut out, the joints are cleaned and dried, and new sealant or grout goes in. We just plan the journey and access beforehand.
All of our work is guaranteed for twelve months.

What else we do in Bonchester Bridge
What happens if it’s left?
Spraying mould remover on a sealed-over joint does not reach what’s underneath. The layers have to come out, and the joint treated and dried before resealing. Around Bonchester Bridge, water from a failed joint in an older stone home can soak into timber and plaster.
Combining jobs into one visit normally makes better use of the time than several visits. We’ll give you a clear price for the lot.
Why us?
- More than 20 years in sealant work
- Sanitary silicone with an anti-fungal additive in wet areas
- White, clear, grey or coloured to suit, where the product allows
- Sealant colour chosen to suit
DIY sealant or a professional job?
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is, and the work is guaranteed for a year.
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that is fine. We cut it out and start again, so just mention it when you contact us.
What sealant work cannot fix
We’d rather tell you now than do work that will not last, so here’s what sealant can’t put right:
- Failed tanking or loose tiles behind the sealant
- Cracks in the fitting rather than the joint
- A bath, tray or worktop that moves until it’s properly fixed
Not sure which it is? You can email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

Remedial sealant around Bonchester Bridge
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 does not dry out. 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.
In and around Bonchester Bridge, as anywhere, good remedial sealant starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint. Homes close to Hobkirk include some older properties, and timber floors under older bathrooms flex, so joints need a sealant that moves with them.

How long will it take to strip and reseal the joint?

What sealant do you use?
Each joint gets the product that suits it. Movement, water and weather all affect the choice.
Someone resealed my shower and it’s leaking again. Can you help?
Yes. There’s usually a reason: sealant over sealant, movement or another leak, so we find that first.

How we quote for remedial sealant
Call for a quick quote. The main things that affect it are:
- Any mould that needs treating
- How many areas need sealing
- The amount of work
- Which sealant suits the joint
Every job is a little different, so each one gets its own quote. Size, access and the product the joint needs all play a part, and we’ll explain the quote if you ask.
What to tell us for a quote
Before you ask for a quote, have a think about:
- What’s wrong with the joints now

Mouldy or split sealant often shows up at the end of a tenancy. Several properties can be quoted together.
What happens on the day
The work is kept neat and contained to the joints we are treating, so you can carry on as normal. The job generally takes a few hours for a typical bath or shower, longer where several layers have been applied, and we explain the cure time before we leave.

- First we work out whether the problem is the sealant, movement or a leak.
- Old beads and residue are removed down to clean surfaces.

- We reseal with a product suited to the joint, backed where needed.
