Drakemyre homes and their sealant
Private landlords in Scotland must be registered and meet the Repairing Standard, which covers keeping fixtures and fittings in a reasonable state of repair. Tired, leaking sealant is worth putting right before a new tenant moves in. 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.
For landlords with property near Dalry station, failed or mouldy sealant is worth putting right between tenancies, before it turns into a leak.

About our remedial sealant in Drakemyre
Remedial jobs in Drakemyre usually fall into a few patterns: sealant over sealant, mould under the bead, leaks that come back and movement joints that have split. We strip each one back and start from scratch. Typical jobs include mould trapped under a layer of silicone and repeat leaks from the same joint, on failed movement joints, expansion joints and leaking tray & enclosure joints.
Bathrooms in smaller places like Drakemyre 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.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If there’s a problem with it, please send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk.

Surface by surface
Over-sealed & botched joints
Botched joints sometimes have damaged edges from earlier scraping. We work carefully to avoid adding to it, and point out any existing damage.
Leaking trays & enclosures
If the tray is cracked, or the leak is from the valve or waste, sealant will not fix it. We say so rather than reseal.
Why act early in Drakemyre
Mould under a bead cannot be reached by cleaning. The layers have to come out. In a place like Drakemyre, small leaks are easy to put off, but water behind a failed seal does the most damage when nobody’s watching.
A few things move the cost up or down: the old material and how easily it comes out, whether mould needs treating, and whether we need extra access for height. We take all of that into account in your quote.

What we’re called out for in Drakemyre
Water from somewhere else can ruin a good seal. A slow leak behind the tiles soaks the joint from the back, so the silicone goes mouldy or lets go.
The most common problems we see are:
- Mould trapped under a layer of silicone
- Movement joints that have split or pulled away
- Over-sealed joints coming away
- Decorators’ caulk around a bath or shower
In the older streets around Trinity Church, bathrooms in older houses have often been refitted more than once, with sealant laid over sealant.

How to look after the new joints
Good habits help new joints last longer. Our tips:
- Deal with small splits early
- Clean sealant with mild products only
- Never seal over old silicone
- Check trays and worktops don’t move
Ventilation keeps mould away from the new bead: use the extractor or open a window after showering.
Signs to act on: peeling layers, mould showing through the bead, leaks after showering or cracks in a movement joint. Each one is worth getting looked at.

What we do, step by step
There’s no need to move everything out, just the space around the work. We protect the rest, and the work takes a few hours for a typical bath or shower, longer where several layers have been applied in most cases. Around Drakemyre, 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.
- The botched or failed sealant is cut away completely.
- We clean and degrease the joint and look for signs of movement or water.
- Once dry, a suitable sealant is applied and tooled.
- We give you the cure time and explain what caused the failure.
Getting ready for the visit
- For business premises, tell us about site rules or sign-in
