Questions from Elie
Is Elie within the area you cover?
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.
Is Elie in your area for remedial sealant?
Yes, Elie is within the area we cover. Our work covers the whole of Scotland. Just email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk with a few details of the job, and we will send you a clear quote.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
What if the leak is not the sealant?
We will tell you. A cracked tray, faulty valve or leaking waste needs a different trade, so we will not pretend it will.
Do I need to be at home?
That depends on where the joints are. Inside work needs someone to give us access, and for outside work we will agree access with you when we book.
What do you put in the joint?
It depends on the joint: sanitary silicone where it gets wet, and sealants suited to movement or weather elsewhere. We use products from Arbo and Everbuild.
Will the old sealant be removed?
Yes, always, and completely. New silicone does not stick to old silicone, so any old material comes out before anything new goes in.
Can you work on commercial sites?
Yes. Larger jobs can be planned room by room or area by area.
Remedial sealant in Elie
If a joint fails again and again, something is causing it. A tray that moves, a worktop that isn’t fixed, the wrong sealant or water getting in elsewhere will defeat even a perfect bead. Finding that cause comes before any new sealant. If you have floor or wall movement joints that have failed and products that weren’t meant for the joint, we can put it right, whatever the surface.
Being further from a city does not change the work: old material out, joints cleaned and dried, and a fresh, even finish. The journey and access are simply planned in advance.
There’s a 12-month guarantee on every job, whatever its size.

How the job changes by surface
Over-sealed & botched joints
A thick bead smeared across tiles often hides mould or gaps. We strip it back so we can see the joint.
Mouldy bath & shower sealant
Mould often spreads under the bead as well as through it. Once it’s all removed, the joint is treated so the new sealant starts clean.
When to call us in Elie
Joint depth matters. A bead bonded on three sides, or laid too thick, can’t flex, and tears at the first real movement. Backing sets the depth and stops that.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- Thick, messy sealant smeared over tiles
- Kitchen joints letting water behind the worktop
- Over-sealed joints coming away
- Decorators’ caulk around a bath or shower
For an older house near a landmark such as Elie Parish Church, timber floors under older bathrooms flex, so joints need a sealant that moves with them.
Questions to ask before you book
- The length of the guarantee
- What the cure time is
- Is VAT in the price?
- Whether all the old sealant comes out first
What affects the cost of remedial sealant
For a quick quote, just ask. What matters most is:
- Working hours on commercial sites
- Access and height
- How many rooms, windows or areas are involved
- The number and length of the joints
What it costs depends on how much there is to do, how much old material has to come out and how easy the joints are to reach. We give a clear quote before we start, so you know where you stand.
What to tell us for a quote
There’s no need for technical detail. Just tell us:
- Where the job is, and your postcode
- Access, such as stairs, a lift or height
- If someone has resealed it before
- The type of property
For a quick quote, get us on the phone, or send an email if you’d rather. Describe what needs sealing and we will talk you through the work before giving you a price.
Leave it or put it right?
Mould under a bead cannot be reached by cleaning. The layers have to come out. Exposed walls in smaller Scottish places take a lot of wind and rain, and damp in stone or harled walls takes a long time to dry once water gets behind a joint.
Commercial jobs are quoted on the same basis as homes: 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.
Why book with us
- Domestic, commercial and hotel work
- A 12-month guarantee on all work
- ARBOMaster approved applicator

How the visit works
On the day, there’s very little for you to do. Show us the job and we will take it from there. The work itself takes a few hours, depending on how many layers have to come out, including the tidy-up. Around Elie, distance and access matter more than parking. Tell us how to find the property and how to reach the work, and the visit is planned around that.
- We start by checking the joint for movement, leaks and the reason it failed.
- All the old sealant comes out, including any layers underneath.
- We clean the joint, treat any mould and let it dry.
- We use the right backing and sealant for any joint that moves.
- Finally we finish the joint and talk you through what we found.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us about any previous sealing or DIY attempts
- For business premises, tell us about site rules or sign-in
- Keep children and pets away from the work area
