What happens on the day
There is not much for you to do on the day. Point us to the joints and we will get on with it. The work itself takes a few hours, depending on how many layers have to come out from start to finish. Outdoor work around Fogwatt depends on the weather, as sealant needs a dry surface, so an outdoor job can move if the forecast changes. Indoor work goes ahead whatever the weather.
- We protect the surfaces around the joint.
- Every layer of failed sealant is stripped out.
- The joint is degreased and checked for movement and leaks.
- New sealant goes in once the joint is dry, and is tooled smooth.
- You get the cure time and our view on why the joint failed.
How to prepare
- Let us know about stairs, lifts or work at height

Advice
How we handle remedial sealant in Fogwatt
Decorators’ caulk in a shower, bathroom silicone on a window, a rigid filler in a movement joint won’t last, however tidy it looks. We take it out and use a sealant made for that joint. Common call-outs are for gaps opening along the back of the worktop and wide, uneven beads that look worse than the old ones, across expansion joints, mouldy bath & shower sealant and shrunken worktop sealant.
For a place like Fogwatt, the job is the same as anywhere: old material out, joints cleaned and dried, and a fresh, even finish. We just plan the journey and access beforehand.
All our work comes with a 12-month guarantee, wherever you are in Moray.

When to call us in Fogwatt
Some joints fail because water is reaching them from behind. A leaking valve, a failed waste or cracked grout feeds water behind the bead, so the silicone goes mouldy or lets go.
If you can see any of these, it’s time to have the joints looked at:
- Wide, uneven beads that look worse than the old ones
- Repeat leaks from the same joint
- Products that weren’t meant for the joint
- Mould trapped under a layer of silicone
Around Fogwatt, as everywhere, remedial sealant is only as good as the preparation behind it.

Fogwatt questions
Can you do remedial sealant in Fogwatt?
Yes. Our work covers the whole of Scotland, and Fogwatt is part of that. Just email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk with a few details of the job, and we’ll give you a clear quote.
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Elgin station?
Yes, we work for letting agents and landlords. Just email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk and tell us about the property, and we will send you a clear quote.
What sealant do you use?
Quality sealants from brands including Arbo and Everbuild, picked for each joint. We explain the product when we quote.
What happens if the problem is the tray or the plumbing?
We check for that before we reseal. If we find the leak is elsewhere, we tell you before going further.
How long does the work take?
Allow 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 fix expansion and movement joints?
Yes. Backing sets the depth and stops the sealant sticking to the back.
Can you do several jobs on one visit?
Yes. Several rooms, windows or areas can go on one quote.
Should I try DIY first?
For a simple, easy-to-reach joint, a careful DIYer can do a reasonable job. Most DIY failures come from sealing over old material, wet joints or too much sealant.
Why it’s worth doing now in Fogwatt
Spraying mould remover on a sealed-over joint does not reach what’s underneath. The layers have to come out, so the joint can be treated and resealed. Around Fogwatt, water from a failed joint in an older stone home can soak into timber and plaster, which is a far bigger job than the sealant.
Some things make a job bigger or smaller: how much old sealant there is and how stubborn it is, any mould to treat, and whether the work is at height. We take all of that into account in your quote.
What you get with us
- Sealant colour chosen to suit
- Old sealant always removed completely
- Experience in homes, commercial sites and hotels
- An ARBOMaster approved applicator
Remedial sealant around Fogwatt
Scotland’s water is generally soft, so sealant and grout see less limescale than in much of England. Mould is another matter: a bathroom that stays damp still turns sealant and grout black. In Scotland, private landlords have to meet the Repairing Standard, which covers keeping fixtures and fittings in a reasonable state of repair. Failed sealant around a bath or shower is worth sorting between tenancies.

For anyone letting property in or around Fogwatt, several properties can be quoted together. Just tell us the addresses and what each one needs, and photos by email help.
Should I try it myself first?
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.
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, 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.
Keeping the joints in good condition
Good habits help new joints last longer. Our tips:
- Get the cause of a repeat leak found before resealing
- Deal with small splits early
- Keep the room well ventilated
- Keep movement joints clear of mortar and paint
Where we have pointed out another fault, have it put right, or the new joint may fail again.
Do not keep resealing the same joint. Get the cause found first, otherwise the next attempt will fail too.
