About our remedial sealant in Bucklerheads
Remedial work is what we do when sealant has failed or been done badly. New sealant over old, smeared beads, unsuitable products and hidden mould all have to come out. If you are dealing with floor or wall movement joints that have failed and black mould underneath the bead, we can help, whatever the surface.
For a place like Bucklerheads, the job is the same as anywhere: old material out, joints cleaned and dried, and a fresh, even finish. We just plan the journey and access beforehand.
Our work is backed for twelve months, in Bucklerheads and everywhere else we cover.

What the job involves on each surface
Windows & doors
Some leaks around windows come from the wall or the window itself. If the frame joint is not the cause, we will say so.
Leaking trays & enclosures
When failed joints are the cause, they’re all cut out and renewed, including the screen profile and tray edges.
Bucklerheads 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. Dundee has plenty of sandstone tenements, where a failed bath or shower seal can reach the flat below.
If you let a flat or house near Balmossie station, a joint that keeps failing is best fixed properly while the property is empty. For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Braeview Academy, its toilets, changing areas and kitchens need their sealant renewed like any other building’s.

Bucklerheads: your questions answered
Do you cover Bucklerheads for remedial sealant?
Yes, Bucklerheads is within the area we cover. We work across all of Scotland. Just drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk with a few details of the job, and we’ll give you a clear quote.
Will you come out to Bucklerheads?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. We work across all of Scotland. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
How long does remedial resealing take?
Allow a few hours, depending on how many layers have to come out. You’ll know the timing when we quote.
Are you an approved applicator?
Yes. We are an ARBOMaster approved applicator, the approved applicator scheme for Arbo sealants.
Will you leave a mess?
No. We protect the surfaces around the joints, and we tidy up before we go.
Do I need to be at home?
That depends on where the joints are. For work indoors, someone needs to let us in, and for outside work we’ll agree access with you when we book.
What sealant do you use?
The product depends on the job: anti-fungal sanitary silicone in wet areas, and other sealants where joints move or face the weather. We use products from Arbo and Everbuild.
How long before the joint can be used?
Cure times vary by product and the temperature. Before we leave, we will tell you the cure time.
Why act early in Bucklerheads
Adding more sealant is the usual quick fix, and it rarely works. It can’t bond to what’s underneath, so the leak carries on and there’s now more to remove. In a place like Bucklerheads, small leaks are easy to put off, but water behind a failed seal does the most damage when nobody’s watching.
Every job is a little different, so each one gets its own quote. Size, access and the product the joint needs all make a difference.

DIY sealant or a professional job?
If you do try it yourself, take your time over the preparation: remove every trace of old sealant, clean and dry the joint, and follow the product’s cure time. If it fails, we can still redo it.
Some jobs are best left to a professional: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
What we do, step by step
A visit follows a simple pattern: we check the joints, protect the area around them, do the work and clear up. Most jobs take a few hours for a typical bath or shower, longer where several layers have been applied. Outdoor work around Bucklerheads depends on the weather, as sealant needs a dry surface, so external jobs may need to move if the day turns wet. Indoor work goes ahead whatever the weather.
- We start by checking the joint for movement, leaks and the reason it failed.
- All the old sealant comes out, including any layers underneath.
- Next, any mould is treated and the joint dried.
- Where the joint moves, backing and a flexible sealant suited to the movement go in.
- Finally we finish the joint and talk you through what we found.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us about any previous sealing or DIY attempts
- Tell us about access, such as stairs, a lift or high-level joints
- On commercial sites, let us know about site rules

Advice
What sealant work cannot fix
We’d rather tell you now than do work that will not last, so these are the limits:
- Tiles that have come away from the wall
- Plumbing leaks behind walls or under trays
- Sealant in an older building that needs testing for asbestos first
Not sure which it is? You can email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk and we will tell you honestly before you book.
