- Thick, messy sealant smeared over tiles
Different surfaces, different methods
Over-sealed & botched joints
Every layer has to come out, including the smears and film on surrounding tiles. New sealant needs a fully clean 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.
Remedial sealant in Clarencefield
Getting old sealant out properly is slow, careful work. Every layer is cut out, the residue cleaned off and the joint degreased, without scratching tiles, trays or frames. New sealant only bonds to a clean, dry joint. If you are dealing with leaks that keep coming back after resealing and sealant peeling off a dusty or damp surface, we can put it right, whatever the surface.
A bathroom in a place like Clarencefield gets the same daily wear as one in a city flat. Limescale is less of a problem with Scotland’s generally soft water, but mould still takes hold in damp sealant and grout.
Each job carries a 12-month guarantee.

Honest limits
We will not take on work that will not last, so these are the limits:
- Cracks in the fitting rather than the joint
- Leaks from a shower valve, waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
- Water damage behind tiles that needs a tiler
If in doubt, send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk and we’ll say what we think.
Surfaces we seal

- Mouldy bath & shower sealant
- Leaking tray & enclosure joints
- Expansion joints
DIY versus a professional finish
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. New silicone won’t bond to old, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. All the old material has to come out first.
Not every job suits DIY: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas call for the right materials, safe access and experience.

Clarencefield homes and their sealant
Clarencefield is within about 2 miles of the coast. Near the coast, holiday lets and guest houses can see bathrooms used by one guest after another, which wears sealant and grout out faster than in a quiet home. Private landlords in Scotland must be registered and meet the Repairing Standard, which includes keeping fixtures and fittings in reasonable repair. Tired, leaking sealant is worth putting right before a new tenant moves in.
Homes close to Ruthwell Church include some older properties, and bathrooms in older houses have often been refitted more than once, with sealant laid over sealant. In and around Clarencefield, as anywhere, good remedial sealant starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint.

Looking after it afterwards
A little care helps the new joints last. Our advice:
- Look for stains below bathrooms now and then
- Deal with small splits early
- Don’t point over movement joints
- Get the cause of a repeat leak found before resealing
Keep an eye on the joint at first, especially if movement was the problem. If anything changes, just drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk.
Warning signs: sealant lifting at the ends, a second bead visible on top of the first, black mould under the silicone, or stains below a bathroom. Any of them means it’s time for remedial work.
How the visit works
Good joint work is mostly preparation, so that is where we spend the time. Every joint is cleaned and dried before new material goes in. In total, it usually takes a few hours for most joints, depending on how much old sealant has to come out. For a place like Clarencefield, longer drives are planned in advance. Mention tracks, gates, ferries or anything else about the route.
- We protect the surfaces around the joint.
- Every layer of failed sealant is stripped out.
- The joint is degreased and checked for movement and leaks.
- New sealant goes in once the joint is dry, and is tooled smooth.
- We give you the cure time and explain what caused the failure.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us about access, such as stairs, a lift or high-level joints
- Tell us about any previous sealing or DIY attempts
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit

Are you an approved applicator?
Yes. ARBOMaster is the approved applicator scheme for Arbo sealants, and we are part of it.

Can I do it myself?
That depends on the joint. Work at height, movement joints, fire-rated gaps and large areas are best left to a professional.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?

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.
