Are you ARBOMaster approved?

Do you take out the old sealant first?
Yes. All of the old material is cut out and the joint cleaned before resealing.

Someone sealed over the old bead. Can you fix it?

Remedial sealant in Glengarnock, done properly
If a joint has been resealed and is leaking again, it’s worth a proper look. Send pictures when you send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk. Typical jobs include a second bead peeling off the first and thick, messy sealant smeared over tiles, across failed movement joints, leaking tray & enclosure joints and mouldy bath & shower sealant.
Across smaller places in Scotland, homes range from stone and harled cottages to newer houses. Older buildings can move a little, and that shows first in cracked grout and split sealant.
All our work comes with a one-year guarantee.

How it works
Most of a good job is in the preparation, and we do not rush it. Joints are cleaned back and dried before anything new goes in. In total, it normally takes a few hours, depending on how many layers have to come out. Outdoor work around Glengarnock depends on the weather, as sealant needs a dry surface, so external jobs may need to move if the day turns wet. Work indoors is not affected.
- Surrounding tiles, trays and frames are protected first.
- The botched or failed sealant is cut away completely.
- We clean and degrease the joint and look for signs of movement or water.
- Once dry, a suitable sealant is applied and tooled.
- You get the cure time and our view on why the joint failed.
How to prepare
- Mention any sign-in or site rules at work premises
- Clear the area around the work
- Let us know about parking restrictions

Advice
What we’re called out for in Glengarnock
Silicone only bonds to surfaces that are clean and dry. Soap film, dust, damp or old residue stop it gripping, and the joint starts to come away early.
Most people get in touch when they notice one of these:
- Torn expansion joints
- Kitchen joints letting water behind the worktop
- Products that weren’t meant for the joint
- Over-sealed joints coming away
In the older streets around Kilbirnie Auld Kirk, bathrooms in older houses have often been refitted more than once, with sealant laid over sealant.

Remedial sealant around Glengarnock
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 covers keeping fixtures and fittings in a reasonable state of repair. Failed sealant around a bath or shower is worth sorting between tenancies.
Letting a property close to Glengarnock station? Then botched sealant from a previous quick fix is easier to strip out between tenants.

Keeping the joints in good condition
Simple care keeps the joints in good condition. We recommend:
- Do not wait for a small gap to become a leak
- Check trays and worktops do not move
- Ask why a joint failed before redoing it
- Don’t point over movement joints
Ventilation keeps mould away from the new bead: use the extractor or open a window after showering.
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.
Surface by surface
Windows & doors
Failed frame mastic is often hard, cracked and in several layers. We remove it all and clean back to sound surfaces.
Movement & expansion joints
Bonding on three sides is a common reason movement joints tear. Backing stops that, so the sealant grips the two sides only.
Can I do it myself?
If you’re 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.
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that’s fine. We cut it out and start again, so tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
Leave it or put it right?
Hidden water does the most damage: 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 damp in stone or harled walls takes a long time to dry once water gets behind a joint.
Rather than a set price list, we price the job in front of us: the amount of work, the old material and the access. The price is agreed before we begin.
