About our remedial sealant in Burnmouth
Getting old sealant out properly is slow, careful work. We cut out every layer, clear the residue and degrease the surfaces, taking care not to scratch the surfaces around it. Only then can new sealant bond. We are often asked to deal with decorators’ caulk around a bath or shower and gaps opening along the back of the worktop, on botched or over-sealed joints, shrunken worktop sealant and mouldy bath & shower sealant.
For a place like Burnmouth, the job is the same as anywhere: 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.
All our work is covered by a 12-month guarantee, wherever you are in the Scottish Borders.

How the visit works
We work through the job in order: protection first, then preparation, sealing and a tidy-up. For most jobs that takes a few hours for a typical bath or shower, longer where several layers have been applied, and the area is left clean. In smaller Scottish places, parking is generally less of an issue than access and distance. Tell us how to find the property and how to reach the work.
- The failure is looked at first, so we know whether it’s sealant, movement or water from elsewhere.
- Each layer is cut out and the residue cleaned off.
- We treat any mould and dry the joint thoroughly.
- The right product goes in, with backing where the joint moves.
- We finish neatly and point out anything that needs another trade.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before
- Let us know about stairs, lifts or work at height
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children

Common problems we fix in Burnmouth
Some joints fail because water is reaching them from behind. A slow leak behind the tiles soaks the joint from the back, so the silicone goes mouldy or lets go.
People usually contact us after spotting something like this:
- Dark patches showing through the sealant
- Repeat leaks from the same joint
- Wide, uneven beads that look worse than the old ones
- Kitchen joints letting water behind the worktop
Around Burnmouth, as everywhere, remedial sealant is only as good as the preparation behind it.
What your quote should include
- How long to leave it before use
- Whether you can choose the colour
- How long the guarantee is
- Is the old sealant removed completely?
Different surfaces, different methods
Windows & doors
Some leaks around windows come from the wall or the window itself. We check the joint and tell you if it looks to be something else.
Leaking trays & enclosures
A cracked tray, failed valve or leaking waste needs a different fix. We will tell you what we find.

Honest limits
Sealant isn’t the answer to every problem, and we’d rather say so up front. Sealant won’t put right:
- Plumbing leaks behind walls or under trays
- Movement from fittings that aren’t supported
- Older mastics that may need an asbestos check before removal
If in doubt, drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk and we will say what we think before you book.
Joints and surfaces we work on
- Failed movement joints
- Botched or over-sealed joints
- Expansion joints
- Leaking tray & enclosure joints
- Mouldy bath & shower sealant
- Shrunken worktop sealant
Can I do it myself?
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.
If you’re set on DIY, put the effort into preparation: remove every trace of old sealant, clean and dry the joint, and follow the product’s cure time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still put it right.
Why deal with it now?
Ripping out a bathroom isn’t generally needed. If the bath, tray and tiles are sound, remedial resealing usually puts it right. Where something else has failed, you’ll hear it from us. In a place like Burnmouth, small leaks are easy to put off, but water through a failed joint keeps working away until it’s fixed.
Combining jobs into one visit normally makes better use of the time than several visits. You will get one clear quote for the whole job.
