- Dark patches showing through the sealant
- Wide, uneven beads that look worse than the old ones
- Decorators’ caulk around a bath or shower
How the visit works
You do not need to clear the whole room or building, just the space around the work. Everything nearby is protected, and the job takes a few hours for a typical bath or shower, longer where several layers have been applied in most cases. Somewhere like Glenbrook may be a longer drive, and the journey is planned ahead. Tell us about tracks, gates, a ferry crossing or anything unusual about getting there.
- First we work out whether the problem is the sealant, movement or a leak.
- Each layer is cut out and the residue cleaned off.
- 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.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know about stairs, lifts or work at height
- Move anything stored near the joints
- Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints

Remedial sealant for homes and businesses in Glenbrook
A movement joint stops working when its sealant splits or sets hard. We cut out the failed sealant and set the depth with backing, before resealing with a flexible product suited to the movement. If you have black mould underneath the bead and beads that never stuck properly, we can help.
In and around a place like Glenbrook, homes range from older stone-built properties to newer houses. Where a building moves, cracked grout and split sealant are generally the first signs.
You are covered for a year from the day we finish. If there’s a problem with it, please email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk.

Why it’s worth doing now in Glenbrook
Leaks that are left keep doing damage out of sight: soaked floorboards, ceiling stains below and blown plaster. By comparison, sorting the joint is quick. 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.
Homes and businesses are quoted the same way: the amount of work, the access and the products needed. Call for a quick quote and we will go through it with you.

Quotes for remedial sealant in Glenbrook
Some jobs are bigger than they look, and some smaller. The main factors:
- Whether old sealant or filler has to be cut out
- The product the joint needs
- The number of rooms or windows
- Whether the work is at height
Instead of a standard rate, we look at what your job involves: the amount of work, the old material and the access. The price is agreed before we begin.
Asking for a quote
A few details help us give you an accurate quote. When you get in contact, it helps to mention:
- If someone has resealed it before
- What’s wrong with the joints now
- Whether it’s a home or a business
- Pictures of the joints, sent by email
The more we know about the job, the more useful the quote. Tell us where the job is, what’s wrong and how much there is, and email photos if that is easy.
How to look after the new joints
Looking after new joints is easy:
- Keep movement joints clear of mortar and paint
- Use a soft cloth, not a scourer, on silicone
- Air the bathroom so the sealant can dry
- Act on a lifting corner straight away
Keep the room ventilated: run the fan during and after showers, or open a window.
Warning signs: sealant lifting at the ends, a second bead visible on top of the first, black mould under the silicone, or stains below a bathroom. Any of them means it’s time for remedial work.
What remedial sealant looks like in Glenbrook
Private landlords in Scotland must be registered and 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. Edinburgh has a lot of tenement flats, in the Old and New Towns and well beyond, and in a tenement, a leaking seal can reach the neighbours below.
In the older streets around Balerno Parish Church, bathrooms in older houses have often been refitted more than once, with sealant laid over sealant. Rented homes near Curriehill station change hands often, and a joint that keeps failing is best fixed properly while the property is empty. If you look after a building such as Balerno Community High School, we reseal washrooms and kitchens in schools and businesses as well as homes.

How the job changes by surface
Over-sealed & botched joints
Every layer has to come out, and silicone residue is cleaned off the tiles too. Only a clean joint will take a new bead.
Leaking trays & enclosures
Repeat shower leaks often come from a tray that flexes or an enclosure sealed in the wrong place. Both are checked before any new sealant goes on.

Can I do it myself?
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. Silicone doesn’t stick to old silicone, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. All the old material has to come out first.
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that is fine. We remove it and do the joint properly, so just mention it when you contact us.
