How we handle remedial sealant in Hill of Beath
Remedial work is what we do when sealant has failed or been done badly. New sealant over old, smeared beads, unsuitable products and hidden mould all have to come out. We work on shrunken worktop sealant, botched or over-sealed joints and expansion joints, and common reasons people get in touch are floor or wall movement joints that have failed and a shower that leaks however often it’s resealed.
In and around a place like Hill of Beath, homes range from older stone-built properties to newer houses. Older buildings can move a little, and that shows first in cracked grout and split sealant.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard.

I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are glad to have it sorted.
Do you take out the old sealant first?
Yes, always, and completely. New silicone does not stick to old silicone, so any old material comes out before anything new goes in.
Is there any odour?
That depends on the sealant. Some smell for a while, some hardly at all, and any smell fades as they cure.

How it works
There isn’t much for you to do on the day. Show us the job and we’ll take it from there. The job generally takes a few hours for most joints, depending on how much old sealant has to come out. Outdoor work around Hill of Beath depends on the weather, as sealant needs a dry surface, so an outdoor job can move if the forecast changes. Indoor work goes ahead whatever the weather.
- We look at how the sealant has failed and check for movement or a leak path.
- We strip the joint completely, removing any layers below.
- We clean the joint, treat any mould and let it dry.
- We use the right backing and sealant for any joint that moves.
- Finally we finish the joint and talk you through what we found.
Preparing for the visit
- For business premises, tell us about site rules or sign-in
- Tell us about any previous sealing or DIY attempts
- Let us know about stairs, lifts or work at height

What we’re called out for in Hill of Beath
Joints that move need sealant that can stretch. Flexing baths, rocking trays and building movement joints will split a rigid or thin bead.
The problems people generally mention when they call are:
- Products that weren’t meant for the joint
- Black mould underneath the bead
- Sealant applied over old sealant that has lifted
- Floor or wall movement joints that have failed
For landlords with property near Cowdenbeath station, failed or mouldy sealant is worth putting right between tenancies, before it turns into a leak.
What to look for in a quote
- Whether they seal over old material or remove it
- What happens if they find a problem under the old sealant
- Whether they’re fully insured
- How long the guarantee is

What happens if it’s left?
Remedial work takes longer than a straight reseal, but not by much: the work takes a few hours, depending on how many layers have to come out. Compared with chasing the same leak every few months, it’s time well spent. When the nearest tradesperson is a drive away, it’s tempting to leave a small leak, but water behind a failed seal does the most damage when nobody’s watching.
What it costs depends on the amount of work, how hard the old material is to remove and how easy the joints are to reach. You’ll have a clear quote before any work starts.
Why book with us
- Fully insured
- Anti-fungal sanitary silicone in wet areas
- We leave the area clean and tidy
- Quality sealants from Arbo and Everbuild
Looking after it afterwards
Simple care keeps the joints in good condition. We recommend:
- Do not point over movement joints
- Get the cause of a repeat leak found before resealing
- Keep an eye on the ceiling below the bathroom
- Report a tray that rocks or a worktop that lifts
Don’t let anyone seal over it later. New silicone doesn’t bond to old.
If a joint has failed more than once, stop resealing it. Have someone find out why, otherwise the next attempt will fail too.
What remedial sealant looks like in Hill of Beath
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. 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.
If you look after a building such as Beath High School, washroom and kitchen sealant there needs the same care as at home, and schools and businesses are part of our work as well as homes.

What affects the cost of remedial sealant
We quote each job individually. This is what makes a difference:
- Any mould that needs treating
- How much old sealant there is and how hard it is to remove
- Which sealant suits the joint
- The number and length of the joints
Rather than a set price list, we price the job in front of us: how many joints, what’s in them now and how we reach them. The price is agreed before we begin.
What to tell us for a quote
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote. When you get in contact, it helps to mention:
- What’s wrong with the joints now
- Where the property is
- The rough size of the job
- The type of property
We quote each job on its own, so the first step is telling us about yours. Just email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk with the details, and photos are welcome.
