What affects the cost of remedial sealant
We do not publish a price list, because jobs vary so much. What we look at:
- Whether there’s mould to deal with
- The number of rooms or windows
- Which sealant suits the joint
- When we can work, for business premises
Some things make a job bigger or smaller: the old material and how easily it comes out, whether mould needs treating, and whether the work is at height. Your quote takes all of that into account.
What we need to know
Photos by email are helpful but not essential. Please mention:
- A few photos by email, if you can
- The problem you’ve noticed
- Whether it has been sealed before
- If it’s domestic, commercial or a hotel
To get a quote, send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk and tell us where the job is and what the problem looks like. We’ll give you a clear price before any work starts.
How we handle remedial sealant in Gartness
With more than 20 years’ experience, our applicators have seen most of the ways sealant can fail. We are fully insured ARBOMaster approved applicators, and every remedial job comes with a 12-month guarantee. We work on mouldy bath & shower sealant, shrunken worktop sealant and botched or over-sealed joints, and common reasons people get in touch are leaks that keep coming back after resealing and sealant that came away because the surface wasn’t prepared.
Bathrooms in smaller places like Gartness work just as hard as those in the cities. Generally soft Scottish water means less limescale, but steam still lets mould into sealant and grout.
Your job is guaranteed for a year, as with all our work.

Different surfaces, different methods
Mouldy bath & shower sealant
Where mould keeps coming back, ventilation is usually part of the cause. We will reseal and tell you if extraction looks to be the issue.
Windows & doors
Smeared or badly matched mastic can be cut out and redone neatly, matched to the frame colour.
For landlords and businesses
We also work for businesses, from offices to washrooms and kitchens. For commercial premises, we can talk through working times when we quote.
We work for landlords and letting agents as well as householders. Resealing between tenancies keeps a property looking cared for.
What we do, step by step
Our applicators work methodically: protect, prepare, seal, tidy. For most jobs that takes a few hours for a typical bath or shower, longer where several layers have been applied, and the area is left clean. Around Gartness, distance and access matter more than parking. Let us know how to find you and how to reach the joints.
- First we work out whether the problem is the sealant, movement or a leak.
- Old beads and residue are removed down to clean surfaces.
- We treat any mould and dry the joint thoroughly.
- We reseal with a product suited to the joint, backed where needed.
- The joint is tooled and you’re told about anything else we found.
Before we arrive
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit
- Tell us about any water getting in
- Mention any parking rules near the property

Why deal with it now?
Stripping out botched sealant adds time to a reseal, but rarely a lot: it takes a few hours, depending on how many layers have to come out. It’s far less disruption than resealing the same joint again and again. In a place like Gartness, small leaks are easy to put off, but water through a failed joint keeps working away until it’s fixed.
The cost reflects the work involved, not guesswork. That is why we ask about the job first.

DIY versus a professional finish
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, such as a straightforward joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. 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.
Remedial sealant around Gartness
Scottish Water supplies are generally soft, so limescale is less of a problem than in hard-water areas. Mould is another matter: a bathroom that stays damp still turns sealant and grout black. Private landlords in Scotland must be registered and meet the Repairing Standard, which includes keeping fixtures and fittings in reasonable repair. Tired, leaking sealant is worth putting right before a new tenant moves in.

FAQs for Gartness

What does remedial sealant cost?
Every job is different, so each one gets its own quote. For a quick quote, email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk and tell us what needs doing and where.
Can you take off two layers of silicone?
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.
How long does remedial resealing take?
Longer than a simple reseal, because every layer has to come out. Most jobs take a few hours, and we confirm the time with your quote.
Are you ARBOMaster approved?
Yes. We hold ARBOMaster approved applicator status and we are fully insured too.
Can you reseal a split movement joint?
Yes. If a joint has been filled with mortar or rigid filler, we rake it out where possible, then the joint is sealed properly.
Do you do commercial work?
Yes. Larger jobs can be planned room by room or area by area to suit the site.
When to call us in Gartness
Even good sealant ages. Over the years it shrinks, hardens and gets colonised by mould, especially in damp, poorly aired rooms. At that point it has to come out.
If you can see any of these, it’s time to have the joints looked at:
- Sealant peeling off a dusty or damp surface
- Decorators’ caulk around a bath or shower
- Over-sealed joints coming away
- Smears and lumps from a botched reseal
Managing a site like Airdrie Academy? Then its toilets, changing areas and kitchens need their sealant renewed like any other building’s.
