How we handle remedial sealant in Collydean
A joint that keeps letting you down needs more than another bead. Send pictures when you drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk, along with when it was last resealed. Typical jobs include kitchen joints letting water behind the worktop and torn expansion joints, across shrunken worktop sealant, botched or over-sealed joints and leaking tray & enclosure joints.
In and around a place like Collydean, homes range from older stone-built properties to newer houses. Older buildings can move a little, and that shows first in cracked grout and split sealant.
You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Collydean as everywhere else we work.

- Movement from fittings that are not supported
- Sealant in an older building that needs testing for asbestos first
- Cracks in the fitting rather than the joint

What else we do in Collydean
What remedial sealant looks like in Collydean
Scottish Water supplies are generally soft, so limescale is less of a problem than in hard-water areas. But mould still grows into sealant and grout in a room that does not dry out. Private landlords in Scotland must be registered and meet the Repairing Standard, which includes keeping fixtures and fittings in reasonable repair. Failed sealant around a bath or shower is worth sorting between tenancies.
If you let a flat or house near Markinch station, botched sealant from a previous quick fix is easier to strip out between tenants.

Advice
Common problems we fix in Collydean
Even good sealant ages. Mould grows into the silicone, the surface hardens and the bead shrinks, faster where ventilation is poor. Then the only fix is removal and a new bead.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- Sealant that came away because the surface wasn’t prepared
- Sealant applied over old sealant that has lifted
- Floor or wall movement joints that have failed
- Dark patches showing through the sealant
If you look after a building such as Glenrothes High School, its toilets, changing areas and kitchens need their sealant renewed like any other building’s.
Before you book anyone
- Is VAT in the price?
- What product goes in the joint
- Is the old sealant removed completely?
- Whether you can choose the colour
Leave it or put it right?
Mould under a bead can’t be reached by cleaning. The layers have to come out. Out of town in Scotland, exposed walls take a lot of weather, and damp in stone or harled walls takes a long time to dry once water gets behind a joint.
What it costs depends on the size of the job, how hard the old material is to remove and how easy the joints are to reach. You will have a clear quote before any work starts.
What you get with us
- Old sealant always removed completely
- A 12-month guarantee on all work
- Sealant colour chosen to suit
- Over 20 years’ experience

Should I try it myself first?
Some jobs are best left to a professional: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs need the right product, the right access and the right method.
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and doesn’t move well, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.
