Remedial sealant for homes and businesses in Brae
Remedial jobs in Brae generally fall into a few patterns: sealant over sealant, mould under the bead, leaks that come back and movement joints that have split. We strip each one back and start from scratch. We work on botched or over-sealed joints, failed movement joints and mouldy bath & shower sealant, and people most often call us about decorators’ caulk around a bath or shower and over-sealed joints coming away.
Bathrooms in smaller places like Brae work just as hard as those in the cities. Generally soft Scottish water means less limescale, but steam still lets mould into sealant and grout.
Our work is backed for twelve months.

Remedial sealant around Brae
Brae is within about 1 mile of the coast. Near the coast, holiday lets and guest houses can see bathrooms used by one guest after another, and sealant and grout that work that hard wear out sooner. 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.
Whether the job is in Brae itself or nearby, the right material for each joint matters as much as a neat finish. Around Brae, as everywhere, remedial sealant is only as good as the preparation behind it.
Brae is in the Shetland Islands. Homes, rented property, offices and hotels in Brae can book us for remedial sealant, old or new, large or small. Every job comes with our one-year guarantee. 63 places in the Shetland Islands are on our list, large and small.

Work for landlords, hotels and businesses
Housing providers, facilities teams and property managers book us too. Several sites can go on one quote, and we are fully insured.
Landlords and letting agents in Brae can book us as well as homeowners. Resealing between tenancies keeps a property looking cared for.
Can I do it myself?
A DIY attempt doesn’t rule out a professional job. We remove it and do the joint properly.
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 doesn’t work out, we can still put it right.
Questions from Brae
Do you cover smaller places like Brae?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Our work covers the whole of Scotland, including the islands, where work is planned around ferry crossings. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
What guarantee comes with remedial sealant in Brae?
Every job comes with our one-year guarantee, wherever it is. We are also fully insured and ARBOMaster approved.
Do I need to be at home?
If the work is inside, we need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
How long will it take to strip and reseal the joint?
It takes a few hours, depending on how many layers have to come out. You’ll know the timing when we quote.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. Full insurance covers our work.
Are you an approved applicator?
Yes. We’re ARBOMaster approved, the scheme for applicators of Arbo sealants.
Can you strip sealant from an acrylic tray safely?
Yes. Careful removal is most of a remedial job, particularly on softer surfaces like acrylic.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
What sealant work cannot fix
Some problems need a builder, plumber or other trade rather than us:
- A bath, tray or worktop that moves until it’s properly fixed
- 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
If you are not sure, just send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.
Joints and surfaces we work on
- Botched or over-sealed joints
- Shrunken worktop sealant
- Failed movement joints
- Expansion joints
- Leaking tray & enclosure joints
- Mouldy bath & shower sealant
Surface by surface
Worktops & kitchens
Shrunken worktop sealant leaves a gap that lets water into the back edge. It’s cut out, degreased and resealed colour-matched to the worktop.
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.
What we do, step by step
Once we’re on site, we compare the joints with what we discussed. If anything is different, we explain it before carrying on. After that, the work takes a few hours for most joints, depending on how much old sealant has to come out. In smaller Scottish places, parking is usually less of an issue than access and distance. Tell us how to find the property and how to reach the work.
- The failure is looked at first, so we know whether it’s sealant, movement or water from elsewhere.
- Each layer is cut out and the residue cleaned off.
- We treat any mould and dry the joint thoroughly.
- The right product goes in, with backing where the joint moves.
- We finish neatly and point out anything that needs another trade.
Preparing for the visit
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive
- Clear items away from the joints we’re working on
- Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work

Leave it or put it right?
Ripping out a bathroom is not usually needed. If the bath, tray and tiles are sound, remedial resealing normally puts it right. If they’re not, we will tell you. In an older home around Brae, damp from a failed joint can get into timber and plaster.
Doing several joints on one visit is generally more efficient than separate visits, so it’s worth mentioning everything you’d like done. You will get one clear quote for the whole job.

What affects the cost of remedial sealant
There’s no set price list, because no two jobs are the same. What we look at:
- Which sealant suits the joint
- The old material and how stubborn it is
- How many rooms, windows or areas are involved
- Whether there’s mould to deal with
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.
Asking for a quote
Photos help, but a description is a good start. Please mention:
- The rough size of the job
- Whether it’s a home or a business
- Where the job is, and your postcode
- What’s wrong with the joints now
There’s no standard price list, as no two jobs are quite the same. Instead, your job gets its own clear quote. To get started, drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk.
