About our remedial sealant in Braeside
The wrong product in the wrong joint fails however neatly it’s applied. We take it out and use a sealant made for that joint. Common call-outs are for over-sealed joints coming away and smears and lumps from a botched reseal, across failed movement joints, botched or over-sealed joints and leaking tray & enclosure joints.
Tenement flats are common in all four of Scotland’s big cities, alongside suburban houses and modern blocks. In a tenement, most bathrooms sit above someone else’s ceiling, so failed sealant around a bath or shower can soon become a neighbour’s problem.
Big or small, it’s backed by our 12-month guarantee in Braeside and across Aberdeen.

When something else is needed
In fairness, there are a few things sealant will not fix:
- A tray or worktop that needs refixing 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.

- Shrunken worktop sealant

- Mouldy bath & shower sealant

What we’re called out for in Braeside
Joint depth matters. A bead bonded on three sides, or laid too thick, cannot flex, so it tears when the joint moves. Backing rod or bond-breaker tape prevents it.
The most common problems we see are:
- Black mould underneath the bead
- Movement joints that have split or pulled away
- A second bead peeling off the first
- Sealant that came away because the surface wasn’t prepared
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Airyhall Primary School, its toilets, changing areas and kitchens need their sealant renewed like any other building’s.
What your quote should include
- Whether they’re fully insured
- How the surfaces are prepared before sealing
- Who turns up on the day
- Which colour the sealant will be

How the job changes by surface
Mouldy bath & shower sealant
Repeat mould normally points to a damp, poorly aired room. We’ll reseal and tell you if extraction looks to be the issue.
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.
How the visit works
Most of a good job is in the preparation, so that is where we spend the time. Every joint is cleaned and dried before new material goes in. In total, it normally takes a few hours for a typical bath or shower, longer where several layers have been applied. Inside a flat in Braeside, the job is planned with you; outside, shared parts may need the factor or other owners involved. Tell us which applies when you book.
- First we find out how and where the joint has failed.
- Every layer of old sealant is cut and cleaned out.
- Next, any mould is treated and the joint dried.
- Moving joints get backing and a flexible sealant to suit.
- We tool the joint and tell you about anything else that needs attention.
How to prepare
- On commercial sites, let us know about site rules
- Let us know if you’ve seen damp or leaks
- Clear items away from the joints we are working on

Related advice
Why deal with it now?
A joint that has failed twice will fail again unless the cause is dealt with. Finding it, whether movement, water from elsewhere or an unsuitable product, ends the cycle. In a Scottish city tenement, failed sealant affects more than one flat: a leak can come through the ceiling below, and gaps in shared walls or fire-rated joints matter to every flat.
The cost depends on the amount of work, how much old material has to come out and access to the work. We give a clear quote before any work starts.

Braeside questions
Do you work for hotels and guest houses in Braeside?
Yes, hospitality work, including hotels, is part of what we do. Jobs can be programmed room by room, with out-of-hours working possible to arrange.
Do you work for landlords with property near Aberdeen station?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for. You can email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk with the details for a clear quote.
Someone sealed over the old bead. Can you fix it?
Yes. Both layers come out; over-sealing fails because silicone will not bond to silicone.
Can you do several jobs on one visit?
Of course. Combining jobs makes good use of the visit, so mention them when you ask for a quote.
What if the leak isn’t the sealant?
We check for that before we reseal. If the fault is elsewhere, you will know before any work is done.
Is remedial work guaranteed?
Yes. Remedial work carries the same 12-month guarantee as all our work.
Do you offer different sealant colours?
Yes. Sealants come in white, clear, grey and other colours, and we agree the colour with you before any work starts.
Can you fix a reseal that hasn’t worked?
Yes. There’s usually a reason: sealant over sealant, movement or another leak, so we find that first.
Bathrooms and kitchens in Braeside
Braeside is close to the coast. Near the coast, holiday lets and guest houses can see bathrooms used by one guest after another, which wears sealant and grout out faster than in a quiet home. Braeside has hotels and guest accommodation nearby. Hotel bathrooms are part of our work as well as homes, and can be done room by room.
Letting a property close to Aberdeen station? Then botched sealant from a previous quick fix is easier to strip out between tenants. If you live in an older home near Mannofield Parish Church, walls and floors in older homes can move, and sealant and grout show it first.

How to look after the new joints
How long the joints last depends on use and care. We suggest:
- Air the bathroom so the sealant can dry
- Report a tray that rocks or a worktop that lifts
- Act on a lifting corner straight away
- Clean sealant with mild products only
Leave the new joint to cure fully before it gets wet or moves: follow the cure time we give you.
Movement joints that have split let water into the structure, and left long enough, the edges of the joint can crumble. A joint with sound edges is far easier to reseal.
