FAQs for Fordyce
Is there a guarantee on remedial sealant in Fordyce?
All our work, in Fordyce and everywhere else, comes with a 12-month guarantee. We are also fully insured and ARBOMaster approved.
Can you do remedial sealant in Fordyce?
Yes. Our work covers the whole of Scotland, and Fordyce is part of that. You can send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk and tell us what needs doing.
What if the leak is not the sealant?
Then we explain what we have found. You may need a plumber or bathroom fitter.
Is there any odour?
Possibly a little. Any smell clears as the sealant cures, and ventilation helps.
Can you remove sealant that is been put over old sealant?
Yes. It’s slower than a standard reseal, because every layer has to come out cleanly, but it’s what makes the new bead last.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just make sure your landlord agrees.
Can old silicone be taken off without scratching the tiles?
Yes. We cut and lift the old sealant with tools suited to the surface, then clean off the residue. Any existing damage is pointed out before any work starts.
Can you match the sealant colour?
Yes. Sealants come in white, clear, grey and other colours for many products, and we agree the colour with you before any work starts.

Why deal with it now?
A joint that has failed twice will fail again unless the cause is dealt with. Finding it, whether movement, water from elsewhere or an unsuitable product, ends the cycle. 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.
Homes and businesses are quoted the same way: the amount of work, the access and the products needed. Ask us for a quote and we’ll explain what it covers.

What remedial sealant looks like in Fordyce
Fordyce is within about 2 miles of the coast. Coastal homes, holiday lets and guest houses can see heavy bathroom use in busy months, which wears sealant and grout out faster than in a quiet home. Scottish Water supplies are generally soft, so limescale is less of a problem than in hard-water areas. But mould still grows into sealant and grout in a room that doesn’t dry out.
In and around Fordyce, as anywhere, good remedial sealant starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint.
Fordyce is about 8 miles east of Buckie, in Aberdeenshire. Every kind of property in Fordyce can book us for remedial sealant, old or new, large or small. Every job comes with our 12-month guarantee.

How we quote for remedial sealant
The price is agreed before any work begins. It takes into account:
- How many rooms, windows or areas are involved
- How much old sealant there is and how hard it is to remove
- Any mould that needs treating
- Any working-time requirements on site
Some things make a job bigger or smaller: the old material and how easily it comes out, whether mould needs treating, and whether we need extra access for height. We take all of that into account in your quote.
Helping us quote
When you call or email, these details help:
- How we’d reach the joints
- If it’s domestic, commercial or a hotel
- A few pictures by email, if you can
- Any previous sealing or DIY work
Getting a quote is simple: let us know the job and the location and its rough size. A few pictures by email make the job easier to understand.
Should I try it myself first?
If you are set on DIY, put the effort into preparation: remove every trace of old sealant, clean and dry the joint, and follow the product’s cure time. If it fails, we can still redo it.
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. Silicone doesn’t stick to old silicone, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. Everything old must be removed first.
What happens on the day
The work is kept neat and contained to the joints we’re treating, so you can carry on as normal. Expect the work to take a few hours for most joints, depending on how much old sealant has to come out, and we tell you how long to leave it before we go. Around Fordyce, distance and access matter more than parking. Let us know how to find you and how to reach the joints.
- We start by checking the joint for movement, leaks and the reason it failed.
- 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.
How to prepare
- Let us know if you’ve seen damp or leaks
- Tell us about any previous sealing or DIY attempts
- Clear items away from the joints we’re working on

Related advice
Signs you need remedial sealant in Fordyce
Movement tears sealant that is not designed for it. A bath that flexes, a tray that rocks or a building joint that opens and closes split any bead that is too stiff or too thin.
These are the problems we’re asked about most:
- Floor or wall movement joints that have failed
- Black mould underneath the bead
- Gaps opening along the back of the worktop
- Sealant applied over old sealant that has lifted
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Fordyce 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.
What to look for in a quote
- Are they insured?
- What preparation is included
- Which colour the sealant will be
- Whether VAT is included
How to look after the new joints
How long the joints last depends on use and care. Here’s what we suggest:
- Get the cause of a repeat leak found before resealing
- Check ceilings under showers for marks
- Clean sealant with mild products only
- Report a tray that rocks or a worktop that lifts
Clean gently: no scraping, scouring pads or harsh chemicals.
Signs to act on: peeling layers, mould showing through the bead, leaks after showering or cracks in a movement joint. Each one is worth getting looked at.
