- Mould trapped under a layer of silicone
- Kitchen joints letting water behind the worktop
Can I do it myself?
Not every job suits DIY: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. New silicone won’t bond to old, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. All the old material has to come out first.
About our remedial sealant in Edzell
If a joint has been resealed and is leaking again, it’s worth a proper look. Send photos when you drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk, and say how long ago it was last done. Common call-outs are for sealant peeling off a dusty or damp surface and worktop sealant that has shrunk and split, across mouldy bath & shower sealant, leaking tray & enclosure joints and shrunken worktop sealant.
Being further from a city doesn’t 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.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are not left on your own once the job is done.

Different surfaces, different methods
Windows & doors
Wrong-coloured or messy mastic can be replaced for appearance too, matched to the frame colour.
Worktops & kitchens
If a worktop moves when you lean on it, the sealant will keep splitting. That needs refixing before resealing, which we’ll point out.
How to look after the new joints
Joint life depends on how it’s used and looked after. We suggest:
- Keep movement joints clear of mortar and paint
- Act on a lifting corner right away
- Use a soft cloth, not a scourer, on silicone
- Air the bathroom so the sealant can dry
Keep an eye on the joint at first, particularly where the original failure was caused by movement. If anything changes, just send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk.
Leaks through failed sealant grow over time. Every shower or downpour sends more water through, into floors, walls or ceilings. Sorting it early limits the damage.
What we cannot put right
We will always be straight with you, so here’s what sealant can’t fix:
- Water damage behind tiles that needs a tiler
- A cracked shower tray or bath (that needs repair or replacing)
- A tray or worktop that needs refixing first
If you’re not sure, just email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk and we’ll give you a straight answer.
Surfaces we seal
- Botched or over-sealed joints
- Mouldy bath & shower sealant
- Leaking tray & enclosure joints
- Expansion joints
- Failed movement joints
- Shrunken worktop sealant
How it works
A visit follows a simple pattern: we look at the joints together, protect the area around them, carry out the job and clear up. Most jobs take a few hours, depending on how many layers have to come out. Outside jobs in Edzell need a dry day, because sealant will not bond to a wet joint, so external jobs may need to move if the day turns wet. Indoor work goes ahead whatever the weather.
- We look at how the sealant has failed and check for movement or a leak path.
- 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.
- Finally we finish the joint and talk you through what we found.
Preparing for the visit
- Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work
- Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints
- Tell us about access, such as stairs, a lift or high-level joints

Common questions in Edzell
What guarantee comes with remedial sealant in Edzell?
All our work, in Edzell and everywhere else, comes with a 12-month guarantee. We are also fully insured and ARBOMaster approved.
Is Edzell within the area you cover?
Yes, Edzell is covered. We work across all of Scotland, from towns to the smallest places. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
Can you remove sealant that is been put over old sealant?
Yes. We remove every layer; new silicone does not bond to old silicone, which is why over-sealing fails.
Where do you work from?
We work from Crawley. We cover Edzell and the rest of Angus.
Will the old sealant be removed?
Yes. All of the old material is cut out and the joint cleaned before resealing.
Can you remove old sealant without damaging the bath?
Yes. Residue is removed with a product suited to the surface rather than scraped hard, so the new sealant bonds cleanly.
How long does remedial resealing take?
It takes a few hours for a typical bath or shower, longer where several layers have been applied. You will know the timing when we quote.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, we do. Domestic, commercial and hotel work are all part of what we do.
Remedial sealant around Edzell
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. Private landlords in Scotland must be registered and 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.
In the older streets around Edzell Parish Church, walls and floors in older homes can move, and sealant and grout show it first. Around Edzell, as everywhere, remedial sealant is only as good as the preparation behind it.
