- Thick, messy sealant smeared over tiles
- Sealant that came away because the surface wasn’t prepared
- Leaks that keep coming back after resealing
Surface 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.
Mouldy bath & shower sealant
Where mould keeps coming back, ventilation is generally part of the cause. Along with resealing, we’ll mention if the room needs better ventilation.
Remedial sealant in Braemar
A movement joint stops working when its sealant splits or sets hard. The old sealant comes out and backing goes in to control the depth, then a flexible sealant matched to the movement goes in. We are often asked to deal with repeat leaks from the same joint and products that weren’t meant for the joint, across expansion joints, leaking tray & enclosure joints and failed movement joints.
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 normally the first signs.
Every job is covered by a 12-month guarantee.

Remedial sealant around Braemar
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. Failed sealant around a bath or shower is worth sorting between tenancies.
If you live in an older home near Braemar Parish Church, bathrooms in older houses have often been refitted more than once, with sealant laid over sealant.

Common questions in Braemar
Is there a guarantee on remedial sealant in Braemar?
Every job comes with our 12-month guarantee, wherever it is. We are fully insured, and an ARBOMaster approved applicator.
Is Braemar in your area for remedial sealant?
Yes, Braemar is within the area we cover. We work across all of Scotland. You can email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk and let us know what needs doing, and we will give you a clear price.
Do you fix expansion and movement joints?
Yes. If a joint has been filled with mortar or rigid filler, we rake it out where possible, and reseal with a flexible product.
Someone sealed over the old bead. Can you fix it?
Yes. We cut out all the layers and clean off the film, then the joint is resealed once.
Can you quote for more than one area?
Of course. Combining jobs makes good use of the visit.
Can I do it myself?
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 should I tell you?
The location, the problem and the rough size of the job. If you can, email a few pictures.
Can you remove old sealant without damaging the bath?
Yes, with care. We cut and lift the old sealant with tools suited to the surface, then clean off the residue. Any existing damage is pointed out before any work starts.
Why it’s worth doing now in Braemar
Stripping out botched sealant adds time to a reseal, but rarely a lot: it takes a few hours for a typical bath or shower, longer where several layers have been applied. It’s far less disruption than resealing the same joint again and again. Around Braemar, water from a failed joint in an older stone home can soak into timber and plaster.
Leaving a failed joint normally makes the job bigger, not smaller. If you’re not sure whether it needs doing, send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk for an honest opinion and a quote.

What affects the quote in Braemar
There’s no set price list, because no two jobs are the same. What we look at:
- Any working-time requirements on site
- The number and length of the joints
- How many rooms, windows or areas are involved
- Which sealant suits the joint
Every job is a little different, so each one gets its own quote. The number of joints, how easy they are to reach and the sealant needed all make a difference.
Asking for a quote
Photos help, but a description is a good start. Please mention:
- The type of property
- Any access issues, like height or stairs
- Any previous sealing or DIY work
- The address or postcode of the job
The more we know about the job, the more useful the quote. Tell us where the job is, what’s wrong and how much there is, and email photos if that is easy.
Common problems we fix in Braemar
Joint depth matters. A bead bonded on three sides, or laid too thick, cannot flex, and tears at the first real movement. Backing sets the depth and stops that.
Common reasons people contact us include:
- Caulk or the wrong sealant used in a wet area
- Torn expansion joints
- Sealant that came away because the surface wasn’t prepared
- Mould trapped under a layer of silicone
Around Braemar, as everywhere, remedial sealant is only as good as the preparation behind it.

DIY sealant or a professional job?
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.
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.
The process
Before we leave, we go over the finished joints with you and explain the cure time. The visit itself generally takes a few hours for a typical bath or shower, longer where several layers have been applied, depending on how much there is to do. For a place like Braemar, longer drives are planned in advance. 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.
- We clean the joint, treat any mould and let it 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.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention any parking rules near the property
- Clear items away from the joints we are working on
- Let us know about stairs, lifts or work at height
