Fetterangus Remedial Sealant
Remedial sealant across Fetterangus and nearby, with every bit of old sealant taken out first and a 12-month guarantee.
- A second bead peeling off the first
- Beads that never stuck properly
- A shower that leaks however often it’s resealed
DIY sealant or a professional job?
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and doesn’t move well, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, such as a straightforward joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.
About our remedial sealant in Fetterangus
Getting old sealant out properly is slow, careful work. We cut out every layer, clear the residue and degrease the surfaces, taking care not to scratch the surfaces around it. New sealant only bonds to a clean, dry joint. Common call-outs are for thick, messy sealant smeared over tiles and leaks that keep coming back after resealing, across mouldy bath & shower sealant, failed movement joints and shrunken worktop sealant.
For a place like Fetterangus, the job is the same as anywhere: everything old is cut out, the joints are cleaned and dried, and new sealant or grout goes in. The journey and access are simply planned in advance.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything is not right with it, send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk.

Different surfaces, different methods
Windows & doors
Wrong-coloured or messy mastic can be replaced for appearance too, matched to the frame colour.
Over-sealed & botched joints
Botched joints sometimes have damaged edges from earlier scraping. We work carefully to avoid adding to it, and point out any existing damage.
What happens on the day
There’s no need to move everything out before we come, just the space around the work. We protect the rest, and the work takes a few hours for a typical bath or shower, longer where several layers have been applied for a typical job. In smaller Scottish places, parking is normally less of an issue than access and distance. Let us know how to find you and how to reach the joints, and the visit is planned around that.
- First we find out how and where the joint has failed.
- We strip the joint completely, removing any layers below.
- We clean the joint, treat any mould and let it dry.
- Where the joint moves, backing and a flexible sealant suited to the movement go in.
- We tool the joint and tell you about anything else that needs attention.
Before we arrive
- Mention any sign-in or site rules at work premises
- Mention any parking rules near the property
- Clear items away from the joints we are working on

Leave it or put it right?
Ripping out a bathroom is not usually needed. When the fittings are sound, stripping and resealing the joints is often enough. If they’re not, we will tell you. Exposed walls in smaller Scottish places take a lot of wind and rain, and once water gets behind a failed joint, damp in stone or harled walls is slow to dry out.
The cost reflects the work involved, not guesswork. That is why we ask a few questions first and give you a clear price before we start.

Fetterangus 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 does not 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.
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Peterhead Academy, 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. If you live in an older home near Fetterangus Church, timber floors under older bathrooms flex, so joints need a sealant that moves with them.

How to look after the new joints
Good habits help new joints last longer. Our tips:
- Act on a lifting corner right away
- Find out why the sealant failed first
- Keep the room well ventilated
- Have loose fittings fixed before resealing
Do not let anyone seal over it later. Over-sealing is how many remedial jobs start, so the old bead should always come out first.
If a joint has failed more than once, stop resealing it. Have someone find out why, otherwise the next attempt will fail too.

Someone resealed my shower and it’s leaking again. Can you help?
Yes, normally. We check it’s the sealant and not the tray, valve or waste, then strip and reseal the joints.
Is it messy?
We keep the work tidy. We protect what’s around the joints, and we clear up when we are done.
Do you remove the old sealant?
Yes, every time. New sealant won’t bond properly to old, so the joint is cleaned back first.
Can you remove sealant that is been put over old sealant?
Yes. Each layer is cut out and the residue cleaned off, before resealing with a single bead.
What information do you need?
Where the job is, what the problem is and roughly how big it is. Photos by email help too.
How long does remedial resealing take?
It takes a few hours for most joints, depending on how much old sealant has to come out. You will know the timing when we quote.
