About our remedial sealant in Crawford
If a joint fails again and again, something is causing it. Movement, the wrong product or a leak from somewhere else will beat any new bead. We look for the cause before we reseal. We are often asked to deal with a second bead peeling off the first and worktop sealant that has shrunk and split, on botched or over-sealed joints, failed movement joints and leaking tray & enclosure joints.
Bathrooms in smaller places like Crawford 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.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something isn’t right with it in that time, tell us and we will put it right.

Common problems we fix in Crawford
Movement tears sealant that is not designed for it. A bath that flexes, a tray that rocks or a building joint that opens and closes split any bead that is too stiff or too thin.
Look out for these signs:
- Smears and lumps from a botched reseal
- Repeat leaks from the same joint
- Kitchen joints letting water behind the worktop
- Over-sealed joints coming away
Homes close to Parish Church include some older properties, and timber floors under older bathrooms flex, so joints need a sealant that moves with them.

Remedial sealant in Crawford: local notes
In Scotland, private landlords have to 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. Scottish Water supplies are generally soft, so limescale is less of a problem than in hard-water areas. Mould is another matter: a bathroom that stays damp still turns sealant and grout black.
Around Crawford, as everywhere, remedial sealant is only as good as the preparation behind it.

How to look after the new joints
Simple care keeps the joints in good condition. We recommend:
- Deal with small splits early
- Clean sealant with mild products only
- Ask why a joint failed before redoing it
- Keep the room well ventilated
Where we have pointed out another fault, have it put right, because the new sealant can’t hold back a problem underneath.
Mould trapped under over-sealed joints spreads unseen. When it finally shows, the whole bead needs to come out.
What the job involves on each surface
Movement & expansion joints
Movement joints in floors, walls and façades need a flexible sealant set to the right depth. We remove the failed sealant, fit backing and reseal with a low-modulus product.
Worktops & kitchens
Kitchen joints often have grease and cleaning residue deep in them, so cleaning takes longer than in a bathroom before resealing.
How the visit works
At the end, we look at the finished work together and explain the cure time. The work normally takes a few hours for most joints, depending on how much old sealant has to come out, depending on the amount of work. Outside jobs in Crawford 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 isn’t affected.
- The failure is looked at first, so we know whether it’s sealant, movement or water from elsewhere.
- Old beads and residue are removed down to clean surfaces.
- We treat any mould and dry the joint thoroughly.
- We reseal with a product suited to the joint, backed where needed.
- We finish neatly and point out anything that needs another trade.
Getting ready for the visit
- Move anything stored near the joints
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit
- On commercial sites, let us know about site rules

Advice
Leave it or put it right?
Adding more sealant is the usual quick fix, and it rarely works. It does not grip the old layer, leaving the leak in place and one more layer to cut out later. In a place like Crawford, small leaks are easy to put off, but water through a failed joint keeps working away until it’s fixed.
Commercial jobs are quoted on the same basis as homes: the amount of work, how we reach it and what it needs, plus any working-time requirements on site. Call for a quick quote and we will go through it with you.

Questions from Crawford
Do you cover Crawford for remedial sealant?
Yes. Our work covers the whole of Scotland, and Crawford is part of that. Just drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk with a few details of the job, and we will give you a clear quote.
Will you come out to Crawford?
Yes, Crawford is covered. Our work covers the whole of Scotland, from towns to the smallest places. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
Can tenants book the work?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just make sure your landlord agrees.
Someone sealed over the old bead. Can you fix it?
Yes. We remove every layer; over-sealing fails because silicone won’t bond to silicone.
My shower still leaks after a reseal. Can you sort it?
Yes. All the sealant comes out, we find out why it failed, and the joint is resealed properly.
Are you an approved applicator?
Yes. Mr Mastic is an ARBOMaster approved applicator, and we’re fully insured.
Will it make a mess?
Tidy work is part of the job. We protect what’s around the joints.
Do you remove the old sealant?
Yes. Sealing over old sealant is the main reason resealing fails early, and it’s something we never do.
