East Kilbride Remedial Sealant
Removing failed, mouldy or leaking sealant and putting it right for homeowners, landlords and businesses in East Kilbride. ARBOMaster approved applicators, fully insured, with a 12-month guarantee.
- Sealant peeling off a dusty or damp surface
- Decorators’ caulk around a bath or shower
- Sealant applied over old sealant that has lifted
Different surfaces, different methods
Over-sealed & botched joints
Every layer has to come out, and silicone residue is cleaned off the tiles too. Only a clean joint will take a new bead.
Mouldy bath & shower sealant
Mould often spreads under the bead as well as through it. We treat the exposed joint once the bead is out.
Remedial sealant in East Kilbride, done properly
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, before resealing with a flexible product suited to the movement. If you’re dealing with black mould underneath the bead and sealant applied over old sealant that has lifted, we can put it right.
In a town like East Kilbride, stone-built older streets normally sit alongside harled houses and newer estates. Whatever the age of the house, sealant and grout wear out in the end.
Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee in East Kilbride and across South Lanarkshire.

When to call us in East Kilbride
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.
Look out for any of the following:
- Kitchen joints letting water behind the worktop
- Leaks that keep coming back after resealing
- Sealant peeling off a dusty or damp surface
- Mould trapped under a layer of silicone
Managing a site like Duncanrig Secondary School? Then 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.

Why it’s worth doing now in East Kilbride
Stripping out botched sealant adds time to a reseal, but rarely a lot: the work takes a few hours for most joints, depending on how much old sealant has to come out. Compared with chasing the same leak every few months, it’s time well spent. For landlords in East Kilbride, damp and leaks can fall under the Repairing Standard. Replacing failed sealant early is simpler than dealing with a complaint.
The cost depends on how much there is to do, how hard the old material is to remove and access to the work. We give a clear quote before work begins, so you know where you stand.

Sealant is not the answer to every problem, and we’ll tell you before work begins. Sealant will not put right:
- Leaks from a shower valve, waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
- Sealant in an older building that needs testing for asbestos first
- A tray or worktop that needs refixing first

What else we do in East Kilbride
East Kilbride: your questions answered
Is remedial sealant in East Kilbride guaranteed?
Every job comes with our one-year guarantee, wherever it is. We’re also fully insured and ARBOMaster approved.
Do you cover East Kilbride for remedial sealant?
Yes, East Kilbride is within the area we cover. We work across all of Scotland. You can drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk and let us know what needs doing, and we’ll send you a clear quote.
Will it make a mess?
Tidy work is part of the job. Nearby surfaces are protected, and the area is left clean when we finish.
Do you fix expansion and movement joints?
Yes. Where mortar or filler has been used instead of sealant, it’s removed where it can be, then the joint is sealed properly.
Can you take off two layers of silicone?
Yes. Each layer is cut out and the residue cleaned off, then the joint is resealed once.
Someone resealed my shower and it’s leaking again. Can you help?
Yes. All the sealant comes out, we find out why it failed, and the joint is resealed properly.
Is it worth trying it myself?
That depends on the joint. High-level, external movement and fire-rated joints are professional jobs, while a short indoor joint may be within reach.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just make sure your landlord agrees.
For landlords and businesses
Water getting past a failed joint can damage the building, which is a bigger problem in a rented property. Resealing at the right time is simple maintenance that we can handle for you.
Landlords and agents in East Kilbride can book us as well as householders. Resealing between tenancies is a simple way to keep a property in good order.
What we do, step by step
Once we’re on site, we check the joints match what you told us. If we find something unexpected, we talk it through with you first. After that, the work takes a few hours, depending on how many layers have to come out. In a Scottish town like East Kilbride, parking is normally straightforward, though older centres can be tighter. If you are in a flat with a shared stair or a door entry system, let us know when you book.

Bathrooms and kitchens in East Kilbride
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. Scotland’s water is generally soft, so sealant and grout see less limescale than in much of England. But mould still grows into sealant and grout in a room that doesn’t dry out.
Rented homes near East Kilbride station change hands often, and failed or mouldy sealant is worth putting right between tenancies, before it turns into a leak.
