Is Gourdon within the area you cover?

Yes, we do. Our work covers the whole of Scotland, from towns to the smallest places. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.

How do I get a quote for remedial sealant in Gourdon?

Size, access and the old material all affect the cost. Call for a quick quote and we will talk you through it.

Can tenants book the work?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are often happy for the work to be arranged.

What do you put in the joint?

Products from Arbo and Everbuild, among others, picked for each joint. We’ll tell you what we are using and why.

Is it messy?

Tidy work is part of the job. Nearby surfaces are protected, and the area is left clean when we finish.

Are you ARBOMaster approved?

Yes. ARBOMaster is the approved applicator scheme for Arbo sealants, and we’re part of it.

Remedial sealant for homes and businesses in Gourdon

A joint that keeps failing usually has a reason. A tray that moves, a worktop that is not fixed, the wrong sealant or water getting in elsewhere will beat any new bead. We look for the cause before we reseal. If you have kitchen joints letting water behind the worktop and movement joints that have split or pulled away, we can put it right, on mouldy bath & shower sealant, shrunken worktop sealant and leaking tray & enclosure joints alike.

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 usually the first signs.

All of our work is guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you are.

Should I try it myself first?

If you’ve already had a go yourself, that is fine. We remove it and do the joint properly, so tell us about it when you ask for a quote.

Not every job suits DIY: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas call for the right materials, safe access and experience.

Bathrooms and kitchens in Gourdon

Gourdon is within about 1 mile of the coast. Near the coast, holiday lets and guest houses can see bathrooms used by one guest after another, and sealant and grout that work that hard wear out sooner. In Scotland, private landlords have to 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.

Homes close to Old Parish Church And Churchyard include some older properties, and older homes can move a little, which is hard on rigid grout and tired sealant.

Gourdon is about 10 miles north-east of Montrose, in Aberdeenshire. For remedial sealant in and around Gourdon, it’s easy to get a quote: please email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk.

Leave it or put it right?

A failed seal rarely means a new bathroom. When the fittings are sound, stripping and resealing the joints is often enough. Where something else has failed, you will hear it from us. 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, along with when we can work on site. Call for a quick quote and we will go through it with you.

Why book with us

  • Arbo and Everbuild products
  • Sanitary silicone with an anti-fungal additive in wet areas
  • A sealant colour to suit the surroundings
  • We never seal over old sealant

Take a look at our cost guide and what customers say.

What we cannot put right

New sealant can’t fix everything, and we’d rather say so up front. It will not solve:

  • Sealant in an older building that needs testing for asbestos first
  • A tray or bath that is cracked
  • Failed tanking or loose tiles behind the sealant

Not sure which it is? You can email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk and we will tell you honestly before booking.

Joints and surfaces we work on

  • Leaking tray & enclosure joints
  • Botched or over-sealed joints
  • Mouldy bath & shower sealant
  • Failed movement joints
  • Shrunken worktop sealant
  • Expansion joints

What affects the cost of remedial sealant

Jobs vary more than people expect. What affects the quote:

  • Mould in or behind the old joints
  • How much there is to do
  • The number of rooms or windows
  • The product the joint needs

Every job is a little different, so we quote each one individually. The number of joints, how easy they are to reach and the sealant needed all play a part, and we’ll explain the quote if you ask.

Helping us quote

Before you ask for a quote, have a think about:

  • If it’s domestic, commercial or a hotel
  • What the problem is, such as mould, gaps, leaks or cracking
  • If someone has resealed it before
  • A few photos by email, if you can

For a quote, send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk and tell us where the job is and what the problem looks like. You’ll have a clear quote before work begins.

The process

Before we leave, we go over the finished joints with you. The visit itself generally takes a few hours for most joints, depending on how much old sealant has to come out, depending on the size of the job. For a place like Gourdon, longer drives are planned in advance. Tell us about tracks, gates, a ferry crossing or anything unusual about getting there.

  1. Surrounding tiles, trays and frames are protected first.
  2. The botched or failed sealant is cut away completely.
  3. The joint is degreased and checked for movement and leaks.
  4. New sealant goes in once the joint is dry, and is tooled smooth.
  5. You get the cure time and our view on why the joint failed.

Preparing for the visit

  • Tell us about any water getting in
  • Mention if the joints have been sealed before
  • Tell us about access, such as stairs, a lift or high-level joints

Getting a quote

We quote each job on its own, so the first step is telling us about yours. Just send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk with the details, and photos are welcome.

Advice

When to call us in Gourdon

One of the commonest remedial jobs is sealant on top of sealant. Silicone doesn’t bond to silicone, so the new layer peels, and damp and mould settle between them.

It’s worth asking for a quote if you see:

  • Kitchen joints letting water behind the worktop
  • Beads that never stuck properly
  • Smears and lumps from a botched reseal
  • Leaks that keep coming back after resealing

Around Gourdon, as everywhere, remedial sealant is only as good as the preparation behind it.

Before you book anyone

  • What guarantee comes with the work
  • How the colour is chosen
  • Are they insured?
  • What preparation is included

10 questions to ask before booking

Landlord and commercial work in Gourdon

A neglected joint can let water reach the structure, which matters even more when someone else lives there. Resealing at the right time is simple maintenance that we can handle for you.

Letting agents often deal with us directly. Send the address, what’s needed and the access arrangements and we will give you a quote.
