When it is not the sealant
We’d rather tell you now than do work that won’t last, so here’s what sealant cannot put right:
- Sealant in an older building that needs testing for asbestos first
- Water damage behind tiles that needs a tiler
- A cracked shower tray or bath (that needs repair or replacing)
If in doubt, send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk and we’ll say what we think before you book.

Remedial sealant for homes and businesses in Greycrook
If a joint fails again and again, something is causing it. A tray that moves, a worktop that isn’t fixed, the wrong sealant or water getting in elsewhere will beat any new bead. Finding that cause comes before any new sealant. If you have black mould underneath the bead and kitchen joints letting water behind the worktop, we can put it right.
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.
Your job is guaranteed for a year, as with all our work.

Aftercare tips
How long the joints last depends on use and care. Here’s what we suggest:
- Find out why the sealant failed first
- Don’t add new sealant on top of old
- Keep movement joints clear of mortar and paint
- Run the fan after every shower
Keep the room ventilated: use the extractor or open a window after showering.
Mould trapped under over-sealed joints spreads unseen. When it finally shows, the whole bead needs to come out.
Why deal with it now?
Ripping out a bathroom is not usually needed. If the bath, tray and tiles are sound, remedial resealing normally puts it right. If they’re not, we will tell you. Around Greycrook, water from a failed joint in an older stone home can soak into timber and plaster, which is a far bigger job than the sealant.
Rather than a set price list, we price the job in front of us: the amount of work, the old material and the access. You will know the price before we begin.
Why us?
- ARBOMaster approved applicator
- Experience in homes, commercial sites and hotels

What we do, step by step
When we arrive, we start by going over the job with you, so you know exactly what we’re doing. We protect the surfaces around the joints before we start. The work usually takes a few hours, depending on how many layers have to come out. For a place like Greycrook, longer drives are planned in advance. Tell us about tracks, gates, a ferry crossing or anything unusual about getting there.
- The failure is looked at first, so we know whether it’s sealant, movement or water from elsewhere.
- Each layer is cut out and the residue cleaned off.
- Mould is treated and the joint dried.
- The right product goes in, with backing where the joint moves.
- The joint is tooled and you are told about anything else we found.
How to prepare
- Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed
- Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints
- Keep children and pets away from the work area

Remedial sealant around Greycrook
Scottish Water supplies are generally soft, so limescale is less of a problem than in hard-water areas. But mould still grows into sealant and grout in a room that doesn’t dry out. Private landlords in Scotland must be registered and meet the Repairing Standard, which includes keeping fixtures and fittings in reasonable repair. Failed sealant around a bath or shower is worth sorting between tenancies.
Around Greycrook, as everywhere, remedial sealant is only as good as the preparation behind it. In the older streets around St Boswells Church, walls and floors in older homes can move, and sealant and grout show it first.

Surface by surface
Over-sealed & botched joints
A thick bead smeared across tiles often hides mould or gaps. Taking it back shows what’s underneath, then reseal neatly.
Leaking trays & enclosures
Where the joints are the problem, every bead is stripped and resealed with anti-fungal sanitary silicone, including the screen profile and tray edges.
