Drummore Remedial Sealant
Problem with your failed sealant joints in Drummore? We cut out the old, prepare the joints and apply the right sealant, with a 12-month guarantee.
- Sealant that came away because the surface wasn’t prepared
- Mould trapped under a layer of silicone
- Sealant applied over old sealant that has lifted
Looking after it afterwards
Good habits help new joints last longer. Our tips:
- Find out why the sealant failed first
- Keep bleach and abrasives off the bead
- Never fill a movement joint with mortar or grout
- Keep an eye on the ceiling below the bathroom
If the joint ever needs renewing, have it cut out, not sealed over. Over-sealing is how many remedial jobs start.
A split movement joint lets rain into walls and floors, and left long enough, the edges of the joint can crumble. Resealing while the edges are sound is simpler.
How we handle remedial sealant in Drummore
A movement joint stops working when its sealant splits or sets hard. The old sealant comes out and backing goes in to control the depth, then a flexible sealant matched to the movement goes in. We’re often asked to deal with leaks that keep coming back after resealing and black mould underneath the bead, across mouldy bath & shower sealant, shrunken worktop sealant and leaking tray & enclosure joints.
Being further from a city doesn’t change the work: everything old is cut out, the joints are cleaned and dried, and new sealant or grout goes in. We just plan the journey and access beforehand.
A 12-month guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

Should I try it myself first?
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions.
How it works
Every visit runs the same way: we look at the joints together, protect the area around them, carry out the job and tidy away. Most jobs take a few hours for most joints, depending on how much old sealant has to come out. For a place like Drummore, longer drives are planned in advance. Mention tracks, gates, ferries or anything else about the route.
- We protect the surfaces around the joint.
- The botched or failed sealant is cut away completely.
- The joint is degreased and checked for movement and leaks.
- New sealant goes in once the joint is dry, and is tooled smooth.
- We give you the cure time and explain what caused the failure.
Before we arrive
- Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints
- Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work
- Let us know if you’ve seen damp or leaks

Advice
Bathrooms and kitchens in Drummore
Drummore is close to 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 includes keeping fixtures and fittings in reasonable repair. Failed sealant around a bath or shower is worth sorting between tenancies.
If you live in an older home near Old Parish Church and Burial-Ground, walls and floors in older homes can move, and sealant and grout show it first.

When to call us in Drummore
One of the commonest remedial jobs is sealant on top of sealant. New silicone can’t stick to the old bead, so the top layer lifts and water and mould collect between the two.
Most people get in touch when they notice one of these:
- Sealant that came away because the surface wasn’t prepared
- Worktop sealant that has shrunk and split
- Decorators’ caulk around a bath or shower
- Sealant applied over old sealant that has lifted
Around Drummore, as everywhere, remedial sealant is only as good as the preparation behind it.

FAQs for Drummore
Is there a guarantee on remedial sealant in Drummore?
All our work, in Drummore and everywhere else, comes with a 12-month guarantee. We are also fully insured and ARBOMaster approved.
Do you cover smaller places like Drummore?
Yes, we do. We work across all of Scotland, from towns to the smallest places. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. More than one area can go on one quote.
Will the old sealant be removed?
Yes, every time. New sealant won’t bond properly to old, so any old material comes out before anything new goes in.
Do you work for letting agents?
Yes, often. Several properties can be quoted together, and between tenancies is a good time for the work.
Where is Mr Mastic based?
Our base is in Crawley, and we work across South East England, London and Scotland.
How long will it take to strip and reseal the joint?
Longer than a simple reseal, because every layer has to come out. For most joints, it’s a few hours.
What does remedial sealant cost?
There’s no set price, as it depends on the job: its size, the old material, access and the product needed. We agree the price before any work begins.
