Remedial sealant for homes and businesses in Craichie
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. Only then can new sealant bond. We work on leaking tray & enclosure joints, expansion joints and mouldy bath & shower sealant, and the jobs we see most are decorators’ caulk around a bath or shower and a shower that leaks however often it’s resealed.
Bathrooms in smaller places like Craichie work just as hard as those in the cities. Generally soft Scottish water means less limescale, but steam still lets mould into sealant and grout.
You are covered for a year from the day we finish. If there’s a problem with it, please drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk.

- What’s wrong with the joints now

How the job changes by surface
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.
Mouldy bath & shower sealant
Black mould inside the bead will not scrub out. All of it comes out, and the joint is treated and dried ahead of a new anti-fungal bead.
Bathrooms and kitchens in Craichie
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 doesn’t dry out. 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.

DIY versus a professional finish
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. New silicone will not bond to old, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. Everything old must be removed first.
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.

- Movement from fittings that are not supported
If you are not sure, just email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk and we will give you a straight answer.

Questions from Craichie
Is Craichie within the area you cover?
Yes. Craichie is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. We work across all of Scotland. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
Do you cover Craichie for remedial sealant?
Yes. Our work covers the whole of Scotland, and Craichie is part of that. You can drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk and tell us what needs doing.
Someone resealed my shower and it’s leaking again. Can you help?
Yes. We check it’s the sealant and not the tray, valve or waste, then strip and reseal the joints.
Will the old sealant be removed?
Always. Sealing over the old bead is the commonest cause of early failure, and it’s something we never do.
Is it worth trying it myself?
It depends on the job. High-level, external movement and fire-rated joints are professional jobs.
Where are you based?
Our base is Crawley. Our area covers South East England, London and Scotland.
What should I tell you?
Where the job is, what the problem is and roughly how big it is. If you can, email a few pictures.
Can failed expansion joints be resealed?
Yes. We cut out the failed sealant, fit backing and reseal with a flexible product.
Signs you need remedial sealant in Craichie
Movement tears sealant that isn’t designed for it. A bath that flexes, a tray that rocks or a building joint that opens and closes split any bead that’s too stiff or too thin.
These are the problems we are asked about most:
- Torn expansion joints
- A second bead peeling off the first
- Beads that never stuck properly
- Wide, uneven beads that look worse than the old ones
For an older house near a landmark such as Dunnichen Church, timber floors under older bathrooms flex, so joints need a sealant that moves with them.
What to look for in a quote
- What the cure time is
- The length of the guarantee

- We look at how the sealant has failed and check for movement or a leak path.
- All the old sealant comes out, including any layers underneath.

- We use the right backing and sealant for any joint that moves.
- The new joint is tooled neatly and we explain anything else we found.
