Burnhouse Remedial Sealant
We cover Burnhouse for removing failed, mouldy or leaking sealant and putting it right. Old material cut out, joints cleaned and sealed neatly.
- Thick, messy sealant smeared over tiles
- Sealant applied over old sealant that has lifted
- Products that weren’t meant for the joint
About our remedial sealant in Burnhouse
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. We are often asked to deal with a shower that leaks however often it’s resealed and decorators’ caulk around a bath or shower, on leaking tray & enclosure joints, shrunken worktop sealant and mouldy bath & shower sealant.
Bathrooms in smaller places like Burnhouse 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.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything isn’t right with it, email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk.

When to call us in Burnhouse
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.
People usually contact us after spotting something like this:
- A shower that leaks however often it’s resealed
- Caulk or the wrong sealant used in a wet area
- A second bead peeling off the first
- Mould trapped under a layer of silicone
If you look after a building such as Clandeboye School, its toilets, changing areas and kitchens need their sealant renewed like any other building’s.

Keeping the joints in good condition
A little care helps the new joints last. We recommend:
- Never seal over old silicone
- Get the cause of a repeat leak found before resealing
- Run the fan after every shower
- Keep movement joints clear of mortar and paint
Watch the joint over the first few weeks, especially if movement was the problem. Should anything change, drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk.
Signs to act on: peeling layers, mould showing through the bead, leaks after showering or cracks in a movement joint. Each one is worth getting looked at.
What happens if it’s left?
It’s easy to scratch acrylic, enamel or an uPVC frame cutting out old sealant, and the residue left behind stops the next bead bonding. Careful stripping is where most of our time goes. Around Burnhouse, water from a failed joint in an older stone home can soak into timber and plaster, which is a far bigger job than the sealant.
Doing several joints on one visit generally makes better use of the time than several visits. You’ll get one clear quote for the whole job.

Work for landlords, hotels and businesses
Water getting past a failed joint can damage the building, which is a bigger problem in a rented property. Resealing at the right time is simple maintenance.
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, what’s needed and the access arrangements and we will quote.
What affects the quote in Burnhouse
Every job gets its own quote. These are the things that affect it:
- Mould in or behind the old joints
- Working hours on commercial sites
- How much old sealant there is and how hard it is to remove
- Whether the work is at height
Rather than a set price list, we price the job in front of us: the amount of work, the old material and the access. You will know the price before we begin.
What to tell us for a quote
You do not need to know the technical terms. Just tell us:
- The rough size of the job
- Where the job is, and your postcode
- What’s wrong with the joints now
- If it’s domestic, commercial or a hotel
For a quote, email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk and tell us where the job is and what the problem looks like. You’ll have a clear quote before any work starts.
What happens on the day
Before we leave, we go over the finished joints with you and explain the cure time. The visit itself normally takes a few hours, depending on how many layers have to come out, depending on the size of the job. Around Burnhouse, distance and access matter more than parking. Let us know how to find you and how to reach the joints.
- Surrounding tiles, trays and frames are protected first.
- The botched or failed sealant is cut away completely.
- The joint is degreased and checked for movement and leaks.
- Once dry, a suitable sealant is applied and tooled.
- You get the cure time and our view on why the joint failed.
Getting ready for the visit
- Move anything stored near the joints
- Tell us if parking is tricky
- Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work
Getting a quote
It all starts with a short chat. Tell us what’s wrong, where it is and how much there is, and we will talk you through what we’d do. Whenever you’re ready, drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk.
Advice
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 chosen for how the joint moves and where it is, and the work is guaranteed for a year.
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.
Burnhouse homes and their sealant
Private landlords in Scotland must be registered and meet the Repairing Standard, which covers keeping fixtures and fittings in a reasonable state of repair. Tired, leaking sealant is worth putting right before a new tenant moves in. 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.

Your questions about remedial sealant in Burnhouse
Can you do remedial sealant in Burnhouse?
Yes. We work across all of Scotland, and Burnhouse is part of that. You can send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk and tell us what needs doing.
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Dunlop station?
Yes, we work for letting agents and landlords. You can send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk with the address and a few details, and we’ll give you a fixed price before work begins.
What if resealing will not fix my leak?
That’s why we look for the cause first. If the fault is elsewhere, you will know before any work is done.
How long before the joint can be used?
Different products cure at different speeds, so follow the cure time we give you when we finish.
Can failed expansion joints be resealed?
Yes. The depth is set with backing so the sealant only bonds to the two sides, which lets it stretch.
Someone sealed over the old bead. Can you fix it?
Yes. Both layers come out; new silicone doesn’t bond to old silicone, which is why over-sealing fails.
Do you hold any approvals?
Yes. ARBOMaster is the approved applicator scheme for Arbo sealants, and we’re part of it.
What does remedial sealant cost?
Size, access and the old material all affect the cost. Ask us for a quote and we will talk you through it.
