Remedial sealant & repairs in Gordon, Scottish Borders
Our applicators work in Gordon on removing failed, mouldy or leaking sealant and putting it right. Old sealant removed completely, joints prepared properly and every job guaranteed for a year.
- Torn expansion joints
- Beads that never stuck properly
- Worktop sealant that has shrunk and split
Leave it or put it right?
Hidden water does the most damage: wet floors, stained ceilings and swollen worktops. Dealing with the joint now is a small job by comparison. In a place like Gordon, 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 a rough estimate. That’s why we ask a few questions first and give you a clear price before we start.

Remedial sealant in Gordon
Two decades of sealant work means we recognise most failures quickly. We are fully insured ARBOMaster approved applicators, and remedial work carries our 12-month guarantee. We work on botched or over-sealed joints, failed movement joints and shrunken worktop sealant, and people most often call us about caulk or the wrong sealant used in a wet area and movement joints that have split or pulled away.
Across smaller places in Scotland, homes range from stone and harled cottages to newer houses. Where a building moves, cracked grout and split sealant are generally the first signs.
You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Gordon as everywhere else we work.

How it works
Before we leave, we go over the finished joints with you and tell you how long to leave it. The work normally takes a few hours for a typical bath or shower, longer where several layers have been applied, depending on the size of the job. Around Gordon, distance and access matter more than parking. Let us know how to find you and how to reach the joints.
- Surrounding tiles, trays and frames are protected first.
- Every layer of failed sealant is stripped out.
- We clean and degrease the joint and look for signs of movement or water.
- 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.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed
- Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work
- Clear the area around the work

Questions from Gordon
Is there a guarantee on remedial sealant in Gordon?
Every job comes with our one-year guarantee, wherever it is. We are fully insured, and an ARBOMaster approved applicator.
Will you come out to Gordon?
Yes. Gordon is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. Our work covers the whole of Scotland. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes, and it often makes sense. Doing several areas at once is normally more efficient.
Where are you based?
We work from Crawley. We cover Gordon and the rest of the Scottish Borders, along with the rest of our area.
Can you remove old sealant without damaging the bath?
Yes, with care. We cut and lift the old sealant with tools suited to the surface, then clean off the residue. We point out any damage that is already there.
How long will it take to strip and reseal the joint?
Allow a few hours for most joints, depending on how much old sealant has to come out. You will know the timing when we quote.
Will you leave a mess?
Tidy work is part of the job. We protect what’s around the joints, and the area is left clean when we finish.
How much does remedial sealant cost in Gordon?
We don’t publish prices, because the cost depends on the job: how much there is, what’s there now, how we reach it and what it needs. You’ll get a clear quote before work begins.
Different surfaces, different methods
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.
Over-sealed & botched joints
Thick, smeared sealant looks messy and hides problems. Taking it back shows what’s underneath, then reseal neatly.

What else we do in Gordon
What sealant work cannot fix
Some problems need a builder, plumber or other trade rather than us:
- Leaks from a shower valve, waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
- Tiles that have come away from the wall
- Sealant in an older building that needs testing for asbestos first
Not sure which it is? You can send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.
Joints and surfaces we work on
- Failed movement joints
- Mouldy bath & shower sealant
- Expansion joints
- Shrunken worktop sealant
- Leaking tray & enclosure joints
- Botched or over-sealed joints
Keeping the joints in good condition
So the new joints stay in good condition:
- Check trays and worktops don’t move
- Never seal over old silicone
- Don’t wait for a small gap to become a leak
- Keep movement joints clear of mortar and paint
Watch the joint over the first few weeks, especially if movement was the problem. Should anything change, email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk.
Signs to act on: sealant lifting at the ends, a second bead visible on top of the first, black mould under the silicone, or stains below a bathroom. Each one is worth getting looked at.

What remedial sealant looks like in Gordon
Private landlords in Scotland must be registered and meet the Repairing Standard, which covers keeping fixtures and fittings in a reasonable state of repair. Tired, leaking sealant is worth putting right before a new tenant moves in. 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.
For an older house near a landmark such as East Church, timber floors under older bathrooms flex, so joints need a sealant that moves with them. In and around Gordon, as anywhere, good remedial sealant starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint.

Should I try it myself first?
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.
A DIY attempt does not rule out a professional job. We remove it and do the joint properly.
