- Black mould underneath the bead
- Movement joints that have split or pulled away
- Leaks that keep coming back after resealing
Keeping the joints in good condition
So the new joints stay in good condition:
- Act on a lifting corner right away
- Keep bleach and abrasives off the bead
- Keep the room well ventilated
- Look for stains below bathrooms now and then
Watch the joint over the first few weeks, particularly where the original failure was caused by movement. If anything changes, just email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk.
Mould under a second layer of sealant keeps growing out of sight. By the time it shows through, the joint is well past saving.
About our remedial sealant in Carnwath
Not every leak is a sealant leak. A cracked tray, a failed shower valve or a leaking waste can look just the same. When the fault is elsewhere, we say so instead of resealing for the sake of it. If you have movement joints that have split or pulled away and dark patches showing through the sealant, we can put it right.
Being further from a city does not change the work: old material out, joints cleaned and dried, and a fresh, even finish. We just plan the journey and access beforehand.
You’re covered for a year from the day we finish. If anything is not right with it, email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk.

Remedial sealant around Carnwath
Scottish Water supplies are generally soft, so limescale is less of a problem than in hard-water areas. Mould is another matter: a bathroom that stays damp still turns sealant and grout black. In Scotland, private landlords have to 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.
If you let a flat or house near Carstairs station, a joint that keeps failing is best fixed properly while the property is empty. Homes close to Parish Church include some older properties, and timber floors under older bathrooms flex, so joints need a sealant that moves with them.

How we quote for remedial sealant
There’s no set price list. What we look at:
- Which sealant suits the joint
- The size of the job
- Working hours on commercial sites
- How many areas need sealing
Some things make a job bigger or smaller: how much old sealant there is and how stubborn it is, any mould to treat, and whether we need extra access for height. We take all of that into account in your quote.
What to tell us for a quote
To make quoting easier, let us know:
- Access, such as stairs, a lift or height
- Whether it has been sealed before
- Photos by email, if that is easy
- What the problem is, such as mould, gaps, leaks or cracking
We don’t publish a price list, as no two jobs are quite the same. Instead, your job gets its own clear quote. To get started, send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk.
DIY sealant or a professional job?
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. Silicone doesn’t stick to old silicone, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. All the old material has to come out first.
Some jobs are best left to a professional: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs call for the right materials, safe access and experience.

Surface by surface
Windows & doors
Wrong-coloured or messy mastic can be replaced for appearance too, in a colour that suits the frame.
Leaking trays & enclosures
Where the joints are the problem, every bead is stripped and resealed with anti-fungal sanitary silicone, including the screen profile and tray edges.
When it isn’t the sealant
New sealant cannot fix everything, and we’d rather say so up front. Sealant won’t put right:
- Water damage behind tiles that needs a tiler
- A leaking trap, valve or supply pipe
- Old mastic in a building from before 2000 that should be checked for asbestos before it’s disturbed
Not sure which it is? You can email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk and we will tell you honestly.
