How the visit works
There is not much for you to do on the day. Point us to the joints and we’ll get on with it. The job generally takes a few hours for a typical bath or shower, longer where several layers have been applied, including the tidy-up. Outdoor work around Cleghorn depends on the weather, as sealant needs a dry surface, so an outdoor job can move if the forecast changes. Indoor work goes ahead whatever the weather.
- We look at how the sealant has failed and check for movement or a leak path.
- Every layer of old sealant is cut and cleaned out.
- Next, any mould is treated and the joint dried.
- Where the joint moves, backing and a flexible sealant suited to the movement go in.
- The new joint is tooled neatly and we explain anything else we found.
Preparing for the visit
- Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive
- Clear items away from the joints we’re working on

Asking for a quote is easy: let us know what needs doing and where and its rough size. Photos by email help us understand the job, and we will take it from there.
Advice
How we handle remedial sealant in Cleghorn
Water on the floor doesn’t always mean failed silicone. A cracked tray, a failed shower valve or a leaking waste can look just the same. If that is what we find, we will tell you rather than reseal something that will not fix it. We work on botched or over-sealed joints, mouldy bath & shower sealant and shrunken worktop sealant, and common reasons people get in touch are kitchen joints letting water behind the worktop and thick, messy sealant smeared over tiles.
Across smaller places in Scotland, homes range from stone and harled cottages to newer houses. Older buildings can move a little, and that shows first in cracked grout and split sealant.
There’s a 12-month guarantee on every job, whatever its size.

Looking after it afterwards
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Keep an eye on the ceiling below the bathroom
- Check trays and worktops do not move
- Deal with small splits early
- Keep movement joints clear of mortar and paint
Leave the new joint to cure fully before it gets wet or moves: follow the cure time we give you.
Don’t keep resealing the same joint. Get the cause found first, or the next bead will go the same way.
For landlords and businesses
Hotels need rooms back in use, so the work can be planned room by room around your bookings where we can. Hotel work is part of what we do, alongside homes and businesses.
We work for letting agents and landlords as well as homeowners. Resealing between tenancies keeps a property looking cared for.

Common questions in Cleghorn
Do you cover smaller places like Cleghorn?
Yes, Cleghorn is covered. We work across all of Scotland, from towns to the smallest places. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Lanark station?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. Just drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk and tell us about the property, and we will give you a clear quote.
Does someone need to be in?
That depends on where the joints are. For work indoors, someone needs to let us in, and for outside work we’ll agree access with you when we book.
Do you offer different sealant colours?
Yes. Sealants come in white, clear, grey and other colours for many products, and we’ll agree it with you first.
Someone resealed my shower and it’s leaking again. Can you help?
Yes, normally. First we check whether the leak is the sealant at all, then the joints are stripped and resealed.
Do you fix expansion and movement joints?
Yes. Where mortar or filler has been used instead of sealant, it’s removed where it can be, and reseal with a flexible product.
Are you an approved applicator?
Yes. We hold ARBOMaster approved applicator status and we are fully insured too.
What information do you need?
A short description and the location, with photos by email if possible. We’ll ask anything else we need to know.

Leaking trays & enclosures
A shower that leaks after resealing often has a tray that moves or an enclosure sealed on the wrong side. We check both before any new sealant goes on.
Mouldy bath & shower sealant
Black mould inside the bead won’t scrub out. All of it comes out, and the joint is treated and dried before anti-fungal sanitary silicone goes in.
DIY sealant or a professional job?
Not every job suits DIY: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs need the right product, the right access and the right method.
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.
What happens if it’s left?
Repeat failures have a cause. Taking time to find the cause, whether it’s movement, a leak or the wrong product, is what stops it happening again. In an older home around Cleghorn, damp from a failed joint can get into timber and plaster.
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.

Remedial sealant around Cleghorn
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. 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.
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Lanark Grammar School, washroom and kitchen sealant there needs the same care as at home, and schools and businesses are part of our work as well as homes. Letting a property close to Lanark station? Then failed or mouldy sealant is worth putting right between tenancies, before it turns into a leak.
