How the job changes by surface
Worktops & kitchens
If a worktop moves when you lean on it, the sealant will keep splitting. It needs fixing down first, and we’ll tell you if we find it.
Leaking trays & enclosures
A shower that leaks after resealing often has a tray that moves or an enclosure sealed on the wrong side. We check both before we reseal.
About our remedial sealant in Downiehills
Some sealant jobs are not a simple reseal, because someone has already had a go. New sealant over old, smeared beads, unsuitable products and hidden mould all need stripping out. Common call-outs are for a shower that leaks however often it’s resealed and worktop sealant that has shrunk and split, on leaking tray & enclosure joints, expansion joints and shrunken worktop sealant.
Across smaller places in Scotland, homes range from stone and harled cottages to newer houses. Older buildings can move a little, and that shows first in cracked grout and split sealant.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there’s a problem with our work within the year, let us know and we will sort it.

How it works
Good joint work is mostly preparation, and we do not rush it. Every joint is cleaned and dried before new material goes in. In total, it normally takes a few hours, depending on how many layers have to come out. Around Downiehills, distance and access matter more than parking. Let us know how to find you and how to reach the joints.
- Surrounding tiles, trays and frames are protected first.
- Every layer of failed sealant is stripped out.
- The joint is degreased and checked for movement and leaks.
- Once dry, a suitable sealant is applied and tooled.
- You get the cure time and our view on why the joint failed.
How to prepare
- Mention any parking rules near the property
- Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work

Why act early in Downiehills
Another bead over the top won’t fix a failed joint. It can’t bond to what’s underneath, leaving the leak in place and one more layer to cut out later. When the nearest tradesperson is a drive away, it’s tempting to leave a small leak, but water behind a failed seal does the most damage when nobody’s watching.
Every job is a little different, so each one gets its own quote. Size, access and the product the joint needs all play a part, and we will explain the quote if you ask.

What remedial sealant looks like in Downiehills
Downiehills is within about 3 miles of the coast. Coastal homes, holiday lets and guest houses can see heavy bathroom use in busy months, which wears sealant and grout out faster than in a quiet home. 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.
For jobs in and around Downiehills, choosing the right material for each joint is as important as a tidy finish. Around Downiehills, as everywhere, remedial sealant is only as good as the preparation behind it.

Should I try it myself first?
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that’s fine. We remove it and do the joint properly, so tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. New silicone will not bond to old, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. Everything old must be removed first.
Common questions in Downiehills
Can you do remedial sealant in Downiehills?
Yes. We work across all of Scotland, and Downiehills is part of that. You can email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk and tell us what needs doing, and we’ll give you a clear price.
Is remedial sealant in Downiehills guaranteed?
Every job comes with our one-year guarantee, wherever it is. We’re fully insured, and an ARBOMaster approved applicator.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. We work in homes, commercial premises and hotels, and we’re fully insured.
Can tenants book the work?
Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
Where is Mr Mastic based?
Our base is Crawley. Our area covers South East England, London and Scotland.
Will the old sealant be removed?
Yes, always, and completely. New silicone doesn’t stick to old silicone, so the joint is cleaned back first.
Is it messy?
No. We protect the surfaces around the joints, and we clear up the old sealant and our materials before we leave.
Do I have to be there?
If the work is inside, we need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Keeping the joints in good condition
A little care helps the new joints last. Our advice:
- Never fill a movement joint with mortar or grout
- Check trays and worktops don’t move
- Find out why the sealant failed first
- Don’t wait for a small gap to become a leak
Go easy on the new sealant: a mild cleaner and a soft cloth, with no blades or scourers.
Do not keep resealing the same joint. Get the cause found first, or the next bead will go the same way.
How we quote for remedial sealant
Jobs vary more than people expect. The main factors:
- The product the joint needs
- Whether old sealant or filler has to be cut out
- The size of the job
- Working hours on commercial sites
A few things move the cost up or down: how much old sealant there is and how stubborn it is, any mould to treat, and whether we need extra access for height. We take all of that into account in your quote.
Helping us quote
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote. When you get in contact, it helps to mention:
- Access, such as stairs, a lift or height
- If someone has resealed it before
- The type of property
- The address or postcode of the job
A good description makes for an accurate quote. Tell us where the job is, what’s wrong and how much there is, and add pictures by email if you can.
What sealant work can’t fix
Some problems need a builder, plumber or other trade rather than us:
- Movement from fittings that aren’t supported
- A cracked shower tray or bath (that needs repair or replacing)
- Failed tanking or loose tiles behind the sealant
If you’re not sure, just email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.
