About our remedial sealant in Duncrievie
Water on the floor doesn’t always mean failed silicone. Cracked trays, leaking wastes and faulty valves often look like a sealant problem. When the fault is elsewhere, we say so instead of resealing for the sake of it. If you have leaks that keep coming back after resealing and sealant applied over old sealant that has lifted, we can put it right, on shrunken worktop sealant, mouldy bath & shower sealant and expansion joints alike.
In and around a place like Duncrievie, homes range from older stone-built properties to newer houses. Older buildings can move a little, and that shows first in cracked grout and split sealant.
A 12-month guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

Duncrievie questions
Can you do remedial sealant in Duncrievie?
Yes. We work across all of Scotland, and Duncrievie is part of that. Just email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk with a few details of the job.
Do you cover smaller places like Duncrievie?
Yes. Duncrievie is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. Our work covers the whole of Scotland. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
Can tenants book the work?
We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just make sure your landlord agrees.
Can old silicone be taken off without scratching the tiles?
Yes. We avoid heavy scraping and use the right cleaner for each surface.
Do you do commercial work?
Yes, regularly. Larger jobs can be planned room by room or area by area to suit the site.
Someone sealed over the old bead. Can you fix it?
Yes. We remove every layer; over-sealing fails because silicone will not bond to silicone.
Does remedial work come with a guarantee?
Yes, with our one-year guarantee. Where we have flagged another fault, it needs fixing for the joint to last.
Can you match the sealant colour?
We will suggest a colour to suit the surroundings, from white and clear to greys and other shades. The choice depends on the product the joint needs.

What happens if it’s left?
Mould under a bead cannot be reached by cleaning. Removal is the only way to get at it, and the joint treated and dried before resealing. 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.
A failed joint rarely gets cheaper to fix by waiting. If you are not sure whether it needs doing, send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk for an honest opinion and a quote.

How we quote for remedial sealant
The price is agreed before any work begins. It takes into account:
- The old material and how stubborn it is
- The type of sealant required
- Whether the work is at height
- Any mould that needs treating
Homes and businesses are quoted the same way: the amount of work, the access and the products needed, along with when we can work on site. Ask us for a quote and we’ll explain what it covers.
What we need to know
Photos help, but a description is a good start. Please mention:
- What the problem is, such as mould, gaps, leaks or cracking
- Whether it has been sealed before
- Where the job is, and your postcode
- Any access issues, like height or stairs
We do not publish a price list, because every job is different. Instead, we give you a clear quote for your job. To arrange one, email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk.
Landlord and commercial work in Duncrievie
From a single let to a portfolio, you get the same standard of work: old sealant fully removed, joints prepared properly and a 12-month guarantee.
In hotels, rooms out of use cost money, so we plan the work room by room around your bookings where we can. We’ve worked in hotels as well as homes and businesses.
Should I try it myself first?
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, such as a straightforward joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.
Some jobs are best left to a professional: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs need the right product, the right access and the right method.
The process
Good joint work is mostly preparation, and we don’t rush it. Joints are cleaned back and dried before anything new goes in. In total, it usually takes a few hours for a typical bath or shower, longer where several layers have been applied. Outside jobs in Duncrievie need a dry day, because sealant won’t bond to a wet joint, so an outdoor job can move if the forecast changes. Indoor work goes ahead whatever the weather.
- First we work out whether the problem is the sealant, movement or a leak.
- Old beads and residue are removed down to clean surfaces.
- We treat any mould and dry the joint thoroughly.
- 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.
Before we arrive
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit
- Clear the area around the work
- Tell us about any water getting in

Remedial sealant in Duncrievie: local notes
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. Mould is another matter: a bathroom that stays damp still turns sealant and grout black.
In the older streets around Arngask Church, bathrooms in older houses have often been refitted more than once, with sealant laid over sealant. In and around Duncrievie, as anywhere, good remedial sealant starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint.

How to look after the new joints
How long the joints last depends on use and care. We suggest:
- Act on a lifting corner right away
- Always have old sealant cut out, not covered
- Do not point over movement joints
- Find out why the sealant failed first
Ventilation keeps mould away from the new bead: run the fan during and after showers, or open a window.
Signs to act on: sealant lifting at the ends, a second bead visible on top of the first, black mould under the silicone, or stains below a bathroom. Each one is worth getting looked at.
