DIY sealant or a professional job?
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.
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 Dillarburn
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. New sealant only bonds to a clean, dry joint. If you’re dealing with floor or wall movement joints that have failed and smears and lumps from a botched reseal, we can put it right, on failed movement joints, leaking tray & enclosure joints and mouldy bath & shower sealant alike.
For a place like Dillarburn, the job is the same as anywhere: everything old is cut out, the joints are cleaned and dried, and new sealant or grout goes in. The journey and access are simply planned in advance.
You get a 12-month guarantee, the same in Dillarburn as everywhere else we work.

How it works
There is not much for you to do on the day. Show us the job and we’ll take it from there. The job generally takes a few hours for a typical bath or shower, longer where several layers have been applied from start to finish. Outside jobs in Dillarburn 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.
- First we work out whether the problem is the sealant, movement or a leak.
- Each layer is cut out and the residue cleaned off.
- Mould is treated and the joint dried.
- We reseal with a product suited to the joint, backed where needed.
- The joint is tooled and you are told about anything else we found.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any tricky access
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children
- For business premises, tell us about site rules or sign-in

Advice
How the job changes by surface
Leaking trays & enclosures
Repeat shower leaks often come from a tray that flexes or an enclosure sealed in the wrong place. We check both before we reseal.
Windows & doors
Frames resealed over the top end up with hard, layered mastic. All of it is cut out and the frame and wall cleaned before backing and resealing.
Honest limits
New sealant can’t fix everything, and we’ll tell you before any work starts. It won’t solve:
- A tray or bath that’s cracked
- A tray or worktop that needs refixing first
- Older mastics that may need an asbestos check before removal
Not sure which it is? You can send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk and we will tell you honestly.

Dillarburn homes and their sealant
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. Scotland’s water is generally soft, so sealant and grout see less limescale than in much of England. But mould still grows into sealant and grout in a room that doesn’t dry out.
If you live in an older home near Abbeygreen Church, timber floors under older bathrooms flex, so joints need a sealant that moves with them. For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Lesmahagow High School, we reseal washrooms and kitchens in schools and businesses as well as homes.

Do you need remedial sealant in Dillarburn?
Silicone only bonds to surfaces that are clean and dry. Soap film, dust, damp or old residue stop it gripping, and the joint starts to come away early.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Over-sealed joints coming away
- Worktop sealant that has shrunk and split
- Dark patches showing through the sealant
- Torn expansion joints
If you let a flat or house near Lanark station, botched sealant from a previous quick fix is easier to strip out between tenants.
