What affects the quote in Bower
We don’t publish a price list. What we look at:
- The size of the job
- Whether old sealant or filler has to be cut out
- How easy the joints are to reach
- Any mould that needs treating
A few things move the cost up or down: the old material and how easily it comes out, whether mould needs treating, and whether the work is at height. Your quote takes all of that into account.
Helping us quote
You do not need to know the technical terms. It helps if you can tell us:
- The address or postcode of the job
- Any previous sealing or DIY work
- The rough size of the job
- If it’s domestic, commercial or a hotel
Quotes start with a quick conversation. Describe the problem, the location and the size of the job. When it suits you, drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk.
Remedial sealant in Bower, done properly
Movement and expansion joints fail when the sealant can’t stretch. We cut out the failed sealant and set the depth with backing, before resealing with a flexible product suited to the movement. If you have decorators’ caulk around a bath or shower and floor or wall movement joints that have failed, we can put it right.
Being further from a city does not change the work: old material out, joints cleaned and dried, and a fresh, even finish. The journey and access are simply planned in advance.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something isn’t right with it in that time, tell us and we will put it right.

When it is not the sealant
Some problems need a builder, plumber or other trade rather than us:
- Sealant in an older building that needs testing for asbestos first
- Cracks in the fitting rather than the joint
- Water damage behind tiles that needs a tiler
If you’re not sure, just send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.

Keeping the joints in good condition
After the cure time, these simple habits help:
- Use a soft cloth, not a scourer, on silicone
- Don’t wait for a small gap to become a leak
- Keep movement joints clear of mortar and paint
- Never seal over old silicone
Keep the room ventilated: use the extractor or open a window after showering.
If a joint has failed more than once, stop resealing it. Have someone find out why, otherwise the next attempt will fail too.
How it works
A visit follows a simple pattern: we check the joints, protect the area around them, carry out the job and tidy away. Most jobs take a few hours for most joints, depending on how much old sealant has to come out. Somewhere like Bower may be a longer drive, and the journey is planned ahead. Mention tracks, gates, ferries or anything else about the route.
- We start by checking the joint for movement, leaks and the reason it failed.
- All the old sealant comes out, including any layers underneath.
- The joint is cleaned, treated for mould and left to dry.
- We use the right backing and sealant for any joint that moves.
- We tool the joint and tell you about anything else that needs attention.
How to prepare
- Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit
- Mention any tricky access

Surface by surface
Leaking trays & enclosures
A shower that leaks after resealing often has a tray that moves or an enclosure sealed on the wrong side. We check both before we reseal.
Worktops & kitchens
Old kitchen sealant pulls back from the wall over time. We strip it, degrease the joint and reseal in a colour to suit.
Bower homes and their sealant
Scotland’s water is generally soft, so sealant and grout see less limescale than in much of England. 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 includes keeping fixtures and fittings in reasonable repair. Tired, leaking sealant is worth putting right before a new tenant moves in.
Around Bower, as everywhere, remedial sealant is only as good as the preparation behind it. If you live in an older home near Bower Parish Church, timber floors under older bathrooms flex, so joints need a sealant that moves with them.

Common questions in Bower
Is remedial sealant in Bower guaranteed?
Every job comes with our 12-month guarantee, wherever it is. We’re fully insured, and an ARBOMaster approved applicator.
Can you do remedial sealant in Bower?
Yes, Bower is within the area we cover. We work across all of Scotland. You can send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk and tell us what needs doing, and we’ll give you a clear price.
How do I get a quote for remedial sealant in Bower?
We do not publish prices, because the cost depends on the job: how much there is, what’s there now, how we reach it and what it needs. We agree the price before any work begins.
Do you remove the old sealant?
Yes. All of the old material is cut out and the joint cleaned before applying anything new.
Are you ARBOMaster approved?
Yes. ARBOMaster is the approved applicator scheme for Arbo sealants, and we are part of it.
Can you strip sealant from an acrylic tray safely?
Yes. Careful removal is most of a remedial job, particularly on softer surfaces like acrylic.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, regularly. We can quote for several properties at once.
Where are you based?
Mr Mastic is based in Crawley. We cover Bower and the rest of Highland, along with the rest of our area.
DIY sealant or a professional job?
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is, then guaranteed for a year.
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. New silicone will not bond to old, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. Everything old must be removed first.
Why act early in Bower
Mould under a bead can’t be reached by cleaning. The layers have to come out. Out of town in Scotland, exposed walls take a lot of weather, and damp in stone or harled walls takes a long time to dry once water gets behind a joint.
The cost reflects the work involved, not a rough estimate. That is why we ask a few questions first and agree the price before starting.
