About our remedial sealant in Craigrothie
Some sealant jobs are not a simple reseal, because someone has already had a go. Silicone laid over silicone, smears across tiles, the wrong product in a moving joint or mould trapped underneath all need stripping out before the joint can be done properly. If you’re dealing with gaps opening along the back of the worktop and leaks that keep coming back after resealing, we can help, whatever the surface.
Bathrooms in smaller places like Craigrothie work just as hard as those in the cities. Limescale is less of a problem with Scotland’s generally soft water, but mould still takes hold in damp sealant and grout.
Every job is covered by a one-year guarantee.

Common problems we fix in Craigrothie
Some joints fail because water is reaching them from behind. A leaking valve, a failed waste or cracked grout feeds water behind the bead, so the silicone goes mouldy or lets go.
The most common problems we see are:
- Caulk or the wrong sealant used in a wet area
- Leaks that keep coming back after resealing
- Torn expansion joints
- Sealant peeling off a dusty or damp surface
Rented homes near Springfield station change hands often, and a joint that keeps failing is best fixed properly while the property is empty.
Questions to ask before booking
- How the colour is chosen
- Which sealant they’ll use, and why
- Whether VAT is included
- Are they insured?
For landlords and businesses
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Tell us the address, the job and how access works.
Hotels need rooms back in use, so we plan the work room by room. Hotel work is part of what we do, alongside homes and businesses.
Why act early in Craigrothie
Adding more sealant is the usual quick fix, and it rarely works. It doesn’t grip the old layer, leaving the leak in place and one more layer to cut out later. Exposed walls in smaller Scottish places take a lot of wind and rain, and damp in stone or harled walls takes a long time to dry once water gets behind a joint.
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. Call for a quick quote and we will go through it with you.

Common questions in Craigrothie
I let a flat near Springfield station. Can you help?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. You can email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk with the address and a few details, and we will give you a fixed price before work begins.
Can you do remedial sealant in Craigrothie?
Yes. Our work covers the whole of Scotland, and Craigrothie is part of that. You can send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk and tell us what needs doing.
Are you an approved applicator?
Yes. We are an ARBOMaster approved applicator, which is run for the Arbo sealant brand.
Will the old sealant be removed?
Yes, every time. New sealant will not bond properly to old, so any old material comes out before anything new goes in.
Can old silicone be taken off without scratching the tiles?
Yes. Residue is removed with a product suited to the surface rather than scraped hard.
Do I need to be at home?
Access is agreed with you when the job is booked. For inside work, that normally means someone being in.
Where are you based?
We are based in Crawley, and we work across South East England, London and Scotland.
Can you reseal a split movement joint?
Yes. The depth is set with backing so the sealant only bonds to the two sides.

The process
At the end, we look at the finished work together and explain the cure time. The work normally takes a few hours, depending on how many layers have to come out, depending on the amount of work. Outside jobs in Craigrothie need a dry day, because sealant won’t bond to a wet joint, so external jobs may need to move if the day turns wet. Work indoors is not affected.
- The failure is looked at first, so we know whether it’s sealant, movement or water from elsewhere.
- Each layer is cut out and the residue cleaned off.
- Mould is treated and the joint dried.
- The right product goes in, with backing where the joint moves.
- The joint is tooled and you are told about anything else we found.
Before we arrive
- Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints
- Tell us about any water getting in
- Tell us about access, such as stairs, a lift or high-level joints
Ask for a quote
Asking for a quote is easy: tell us what needs doing and where and its rough size. Photos by email help us understand the job, and we will come back to you with a quote.
Related advice
DIY versus a professional finish
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, such as a straightforward joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.
Some jobs are best left to a professional: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
Remedial sealant in Craigrothie: local notes
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 covers keeping fixtures and fittings in a reasonable state of repair. Failed sealant around a bath or shower is worth sorting between tenancies.
Schools such as Bell Baxter High School are buildings too, and its toilets, changing areas and kitchens need their sealant renewed like any other building’s.

How to look after the new joints
To keep the joints looking good and working properly:
- Look for stains below bathrooms now and then
- Never seal over old silicone
- Have loose fittings fixed before resealing
- Ask why a joint failed before redoing it
Watch the joint over the first few weeks, particularly where the original failure was caused by movement. If anything changes, just drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk.
Mould trapped under over-sealed joints spreads unseen. By the time it shows through, the joint is well past saving.
