Remedial sealant in Chapel of Garioch
If a joint has been resealed and is leaking again, it’s worth a proper look. Send photos when you send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk, along with when it was last resealed. We work on expansion joints, leaking tray & enclosure joints and botched or over-sealed joints, and common reasons people get in touch are a shower that leaks however often it’s resealed and wide, uneven beads that look worse than the old ones.
Being further from a city doesn’t 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.
Our work is backed for twelve months, in Chapel of Garioch and everywhere else we cover.

Common problems we fix in Chapel of Garioch
Using the wrong product is a common cause: acrylic caulk in a wet area, a general-purpose sealant on a moving joint, or an acetoxy silicone on natural stone or some metals. Each fails in its own way.
Any of these means the joints need attention:
- Products that weren’t meant for the joint
- Dark patches showing through the sealant
- Wide, uneven beads that look worse than the old ones
- Sealant that came away because the surface wasn’t prepared
For landlords with property near Inverurie station, failed or mouldy sealant is worth putting right between tenancies, before it turns into a leak.
Questions to ask before booking
- What guarantee comes with the work
- Whether VAT is included
- Whether they seal over old material or remove it
- Are they insured?
Leave it or put it right?
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 removal is most of a remedial job. When the nearest tradesperson is a drive away, it’s tempting to leave a small leak, but water behind a failed seal does the most damage when nobody’s watching.
Homes and businesses are quoted the same way: the amount of work, the access and the products needed, plus any working-time requirements on site. Ask us for a quote and we’ll go through it with you.

Surface by surface
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.
Mouldy bath & shower sealant
Mould often spreads under the bead as well as through it. We treat the exposed joint once the bead is out so the new sealant starts clean.
How to look after the new joints
To keep the joints looking good and working properly:
- Run the fan after every shower
- Use a soft cloth, not a scourer, on silicone
- Check ceilings under showers for marks
- Have loose fittings fixed before resealing
If the joint ever needs renewing, have it cut out, not sealed over. Over-sealing is how many remedial jobs start.
Mould trapped under over-sealed joints spreads unseen. When it finally shows, the whole bead needs to come out.

All told, the work takes a few hours for most joints, depending on how much old sealant has to come out. In smaller Scottish places, parking is normally less of an issue than access and distance. 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.
- We give you the cure time and explain what caused the failure.
How to prepare

- Clear items away from the joints we are working on

DIY versus a professional finish
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, such as a straightforward joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. Silicone does not stick to old silicone, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. Everything old must be removed first.
