Aftercare tips
How long the joints last depends on use and care. Here’s what we suggest:
- Do not add new sealant on top of old
- Clean sealant with mild products only
- Look for stains below bathrooms now and then
- Check trays and worktops do not move
Clean gently: a mild cleaner and a soft cloth, with no blades or scourers.
Mould under a second layer of sealant keeps growing out of sight. When it finally shows, the whole bead needs to come out.
Remedial sealant in Drybridge, done properly
Removing failed sealant is the hardest part of the job. We cut out every layer, clear the residue and degrease the surfaces, taking care not to scratch the surfaces around it. Only then can new sealant bond. If you have kitchen joints letting water behind the worktop and floor or wall movement joints that have failed, we can help, whatever the surface.
A bathroom in a place like Drybridge gets the same daily wear as one in a city flat. Generally soft Scottish water means less limescale, but steam still lets mould into sealant and grout.

How the visit works
When we arrive, we start by going over the job with you. We protect the surfaces around the joints before any work starts. The work normally takes a few hours for most joints, depending on how much old sealant has to come out. Somewhere like Drybridge may be a longer drive, and the journey is planned ahead. Tell us about tracks, gates, a ferry crossing or anything unusual about getting there.
- 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.
- New sealant goes in once the joint is dry, and is tooled smooth.
- You get the cure time and our view on why the joint failed.
Before we arrive
- Let us know about stairs, lifts or work at height
- Keep children and pets away from the work area
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive

Questions from Drybridge
Will you come out to Drybridge?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. We work across all of Scotland. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
Do you work for landlords with property near Irvine station?
Yes, we work for landlords and letting agents. You can email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk with the address and a few details, and we’ll give you a fixed price before any work starts.
Can failed expansion joints be resealed?
Yes. If a joint has been filled with mortar or rigid filler, we rake it out where possible, and reseal with a flexible product.
Can you do several jobs on one visit?
Yes, and it often makes sense. Combining jobs makes good use of the visit.
Are you insured?
Yes. Mr Mastic is fully insured.
How long does remedial resealing take?
Longer than a simple reseal, because every layer has to come out. Most jobs take a few hours, and we confirm the time with your quote.
Will there be a smell?
That depends on the sealant. Some products have a noticeable smell, others very little.
How long before the joint can be used?
That depends on the sealant used, so follow the cure time we give you when we finish.
Surface by surface
Windows & doors
A frame that keeps leaking may not be the mastic. If the frame joint is not the cause, we will say so.
Worktops & kitchens
A loose worktop splits its sealant. It needs fixing down first, and we’ll tell you if we find it.
Remedial sealant around Drybridge
Drybridge is close to the coast. Near the coast, holiday lets and guest houses can see bathrooms used by one guest after another, which wears sealant and grout out faster than in a quiet home. 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 site and facilities teams at buildings such as Greenwood Academy, washroom and kitchen sealant there needs the same care as at home, and schools and businesses are part of our work as well as homes.

- A shower that leaks however often it’s resealed
- Floor or wall movement joints that have failed
- Thick, messy sealant smeared over tiles
- Over-sealed joints coming away
Letting a property close to Irvine station? Then botched sealant from a previous quick fix is easier to strip out between tenants.
Questions to ask before booking
- How the colour is chosen
- The length of the guarantee
- Whether the sealant suits the joint
- What happens if the job turns out different
When something else is needed
We’d rather tell you now than do work that will not last, so here’s what sealant can’t put right:
- A tray or bath that is cracked
- Tiles that have come away from the wall
- Old mastic in a building from before 2000 that should be checked for asbestos before it’s disturbed
Not sure which it is? You can send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
