Remedial sealant in Easter Pencaitland
Some sealant jobs aren’t a simple reseal, because someone has already had a go. New sealant over old, smeared beads, unsuitable products and hidden mould all need stripping out before the joint can be done properly. We work on leaking tray & enclosure joints, expansion joints and shrunken worktop sealant, and the jobs we see most are sealant that came away because the surface wasn’t prepared and products that weren’t meant for the joint.
Being further from a city does not 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.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something is not right with it in that time, tell us and we’ll put it right.

How the visit works
Our applicators work methodically: protect, prepare, seal, tidy. Typically it takes a few hours, depending on how many layers have to come out, and the area is left clean. Outdoor work around Easter Pencaitland depends on the weather, as sealant needs a dry surface, so external jobs may need to move if the day turns wet. Work indoors is not affected.
- 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.
- We finish neatly and point out anything that needs another trade.
How to prepare
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive
- Move anything stored near the joints
- Mention any tricky access

DIY versus a professional finish
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions, and the work is guaranteed for a year.
If you are set on DIY, put the effort into preparation: take out all the old sealant, make sure the joint is clean and dry, and give it the full cure time. If it does not work out, we can still put it right.
Keeping the joints in good condition
A little care helps the new joints last. We recommend:
- Check ceilings under showers for marks
- Report a tray that rocks or a worktop that lifts
- Use a soft cloth, not a scourer, on silicone
- Never fill a movement joint with mortar or grout
Leave the new joint to cure fully before it gets wet or moves: usually around 24 hours, or as long as we advise.
Mould trapped under over-sealed joints spreads unseen. By the time it shows through, the joint is well past saving.

What the job involves on each surface
Worktops & kitchens
Old kitchen sealant pulls back from the wall over time. It’s cut out, degreased and resealed.
Leaking trays & enclosures
Repeat shower leaks often come from a tray that flexes or an enclosure sealed in the wrong place. Both are checked before any new sealant goes on.
Easter Pencaitland questions
I let a flat near Longniddry station. Can you help?
Yes, we work for letting agents and landlords. You can drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk with the address and a few details, and we’ll give you a fixed price before we start.
Will you come out to Easter Pencaitland?
Yes, we do. Our work covers the whole of Scotland, from towns to the smallest places. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
Do you remove the old sealant?
Yes, always, and completely. New sealant will not bond properly to old, so the joint is cleaned back first.
Are you insured?
Yes. Full insurance covers our work, and we can confirm the details when we quote.
Are you an approved applicator?
Yes. We are ARBOMaster approved, the scheme for applicators of Arbo sealants.
What sealant do you use?
Each joint gets the product that suits it. Where it moves, gets wet or faces the weather makes a difference.
Does someone need to be in?
For indoor joints, yes, someone needs to let us in. Once we’ve agreed the job, you don’t need to watch us work.
Do you offer different sealant colours?
In most cases you can choose. We’ll tell you which colours the right product comes in and agree one before any work starts.
Easter Pencaitland homes and their sealant
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. 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.
Letting a property close to Longniddry station? Then botched sealant from a previous quick fix is easier to strip out between tenants.
