Remedial Sealant in Broomlands
Professional remedial sealant in and around Broomlands, with every bit of old sealant taken out first and a 12-month guarantee.
- Sealant that came away because the surface wasn’t prepared
- Torn expansion joints
- Leaks that keep coming back after resealing
The process
A visit follows a simple pattern: we look at the joints together, mask and protect the surrounding surfaces, carry out the job and tidy away. It usually takes a few hours, depending on how many layers have to come out. Outside jobs in Broomlands need a dry day, because sealant won’t bond to a wet joint, so external jobs may need to move if the day turns wet. Indoor work goes ahead whatever the weather.
- First we work out whether the problem is the sealant, movement or a leak.
- Each layer is cut out and the residue cleaned off.
- We treat any mould and dry the joint thoroughly.
- We reseal with a product suited to the joint, backed where needed.
- We finish neatly and point out anything that needs another trade.
How to prepare
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Let us know if you’ve seen damp or leaks
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit

Advice
How we handle remedial sealant in Broomlands
In Broomlands, as anywhere, remedial jobs tend to look alike: over-sealed joints, hidden mould, repeat leaks and split movement joints. Each is stripped back and done again properly. If you have over-sealed joints coming away and mould trapped under a layer of silicone, we can help, whatever the surface.
Being further from a city does not change the work: 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.
Every job comes with our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in North Ayrshire.

Questions from Broomlands
Do you work for hotels and guest houses in Broomlands?
Yes, hospitality work, including hotels, is part of what we do. Work can be planned room by room, and out-of-hours working can be arranged.
I let a flat near Irvine station. Can you help?
Yes. We work for letting agents and landlords as well as homeowners, and several properties can go on one quote. You can drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk with the details for a clear quote.
Do you cover Broomlands?
Yes, we do. Broomlands is part of the area we cover.
Where are you based?
Mr Mastic is based in Crawley. Our applicators cover Broomlands, along with the rest of our area.
Which products do you use?
It depends on the joint: anti-fungal sanitary silicone in wet areas, and other sealants where joints move or face the weather. We use products from Arbo and Everbuild.
Is it worth trying 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.
Can old silicone be taken off without scratching the tiles?
Yes, with care. We cut and lift the old sealant with tools suited to the surface, and the residue is cleaned away. Any existing damage is pointed out before work begins.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. Full insurance covers our work, and we can confirm the details when we quote.

Keeping the joints in good condition
Looking after new joints is easy:
- Keep the room well ventilated
- Never fill a movement joint with mortar or grout
- Act on a lifting corner straight away
- Keep an eye on the ceiling below the bathroom
Go easy on the new sealant: a mild cleaner and a soft cloth, with no blades or scourers.
Warning signs: sealant lifting at the ends, a second bead visible on top of the first, black mould under the silicone, or stains below a bathroom. Each one is worth getting looked at.
Why deal with it now?
Another bead over the top won’t fix a failed joint. It does not grip the old layer, so the leak carries on and there’s now more to remove. Around Broomlands, water from a failed joint in an older stone home can soak into timber and plaster.
What you pay reflects the work, not a rough estimate. That’s why we ask about the job first.

Can I do it myself?
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions, and the work is guaranteed for a year.
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that’s fine. We cut it out and start again, so just mention it when you contact us.
Signs you need remedial sealant in Broomlands
Silicone only bonds to surfaces that are clean and dry. Residue, moisture or dust left in the joint weaken the bond, so it starts lifting sooner than it should.
Common reasons people contact us include:
- Sealant that came away because the surface wasn’t prepared
- Over-sealed joints coming away
- Torn expansion joints
- Decorators’ caulk around a bath or shower
For landlords with property near Irvine station, botched sealant from a previous quick fix is easier to strip out between tenants.
What your quote should include
- Whether the sealant suits the joint
- What insurance they hold
- Whether they seal over old material or remove it
- How the joint is cleaned and prepared
How the job changes by surface
Windows & doors
Frames resealed over the top end up with hard, layered mastic. We remove it all and clean back to sound surfaces.
Over-sealed & botched joints
Thick, smeared sealant looks messy and hides problems. We strip it back so we can see the joint.
When it is not the sealant
We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what sealant can’t fix:
- Cracks in the fitting rather than the joint
- A tray or worktop that needs refixing first
- Water damage behind tiles that needs a tiler
Not sure which it is? You can drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
What we seal
- Shrunken worktop sealant
- Botched or over-sealed joints
