Common questions in Dunecht
Is there a guarantee on remedial sealant in Dunecht?
All our work, in Dunecht and everywhere else, comes with a 12-month guarantee. We are also fully insured and ARBOMaster approved.
Do you cover smaller places like Dunecht?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Our work covers the whole of Scotland. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
Do I have to be there?
That depends on where the joints are. For work indoors, someone needs to let us in, while outside work can sometimes be arranged differently.
Do you fix expansion and movement joints?
Yes. Failed movement joints are cut out and resealed with backing and a flexible sealant suited to the movement.
Do you have insurance?
Yes. We’re fully insured for domestic and commercial work.
Can I do it myself?
For a simple, easy-to-reach joint, a careful DIYer can do a reasonable job. Most DIY failures come from sealing over old material, wet joints or too much sealant.
Where do you work from?
Our base is Crawley, with over 20 years’ experience. Our area covers South East England, London and Scotland.
Can I choose the sealant colour?
Most of the time, yes. We will explain which colours are available and agree one before work begins.
Remedial sealant in Dunecht
A joint that keeps failing generally has a reason. A tray that moves, a worktop that isn’t fixed, the wrong sealant or water getting in elsewhere will defeat even a perfect bead. We look for the cause before we reseal. We work on shrunken worktop sealant, mouldy bath & shower sealant and leaking tray & enclosure joints, and common reasons people get in touch are kitchen joints letting water behind the worktop and over-sealed joints coming away.
A bathroom in a place like Dunecht gets the same daily wear as one in a city flat. Limescale is less of a problem with Scotland’s generally soft water, but mould still takes hold in damp sealant and grout.
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.

What happens on the day
Most of a good job is in the preparation, so that’s where we spend the time. Joints are cleaned back and dried before anything new goes in. All told, the work takes a few hours for a typical bath or shower, longer where several layers have been applied. Outdoor work around Dunecht depends on the weather, as sealant needs a dry surface, so an outdoor job can move if the forecast changes. Indoor work goes ahead whatever the weather.
- First we find out how and where the joint has failed.
- We strip the joint completely, removing any layers below.
- Next, any mould is treated and the joint dried.
- We use the right backing and sealant for any joint that moves.
- We tool the joint and tell you about anything else that needs attention.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us about access, such as stairs, a lift or high-level joints
- Let us know about parking restrictions
- For business premises, tell us about site rules or sign-in

DIY versus a professional finish
Some jobs are best left to a professional: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that is fine. We cut it out and start again, so tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
Surface by surface
Movement & expansion joints
A movement joint must be able to stretch. We remove the failed sealant, fit backing and reseal with a low-modulus product.
Over-sealed & botched joints
Thick, smeared sealant looks messy and hides problems. Taking it back shows what’s underneath, then reseal neatly.
When to call us in Dunecht
Some joints fail because water is reaching them from behind. A leaking valve, a failed waste or cracked grout feeds water behind the bead, so the silicone goes mouldy or lets go.
If you can see any of these, it’s time to have the joints looked at:
- Sealant that came away because the surface wasn’t prepared
- Repeat leaks from the same joint
- Black mould underneath the bead
- Sealant applied over old sealant that has lifted
For jobs in and around Dunecht, choosing the right material for each joint is as important as a tidy finish.

Remedial sealant around Dunecht
Private landlords in Scotland must be registered and 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. 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.
Around Dunecht, as everywhere, remedial sealant is only as good as the preparation behind it.

Water getting past a failed joint can damage the building, which is a bigger problem in a rented property. Keeping joints in good order is simple maintenance.
Looking after it afterwards
Good habits help new joints last longer. A few tips:
- Keep an eye on the ceiling below the bathroom
- Have loose fittings fixed before resealing
- Run the fan after every shower
- Deal with small splits early
Don’t let anyone seal over it later. Over-sealing is how many remedial jobs start, so the old bead should always come out first.
A split movement joint lets rain into walls and floors, and left long enough, the edges of the joint can crumble. A joint with sound edges is far easier to reseal.
When something else is needed
In fairness, some problems need a different trade:
- A bath, tray or worktop that moves until it’s properly fixed
- Leaks from a shower valve, waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
- Older mastics that may need an asbestos check before removal
If you are not sure, just drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk and we’ll give you a straight answer.
