Remedial Sealant in Holy Corner
Our applicators work in Holy Corner on removing failed, mouldy or leaking sealant and putting it right. Old sealant removed completely, joints prepared properly.
- Wide, uneven beads that look worse than the old ones
- Products that weren’t meant for the joint
- Sealant peeling off a dusty or damp surface
What the job involves on each surface
Mouldy bath & shower sealant
Repeat mould generally points to a damp, poorly aired room. Along with resealing, we’ll mention if the room needs better ventilation.
Leaking trays & enclosures
Where the joints are the problem, every bead is stripped and resealed with anti-fungal sanitary silicone, tray edges and screen profiles included.
About our remedial sealant in Holy Corner
If a joint fails again and again, something is causing it. Movement, the wrong product or a leak from somewhere else will beat any new bead. Finding that cause comes before any new sealant. Typical jobs include torn expansion joints and a shower that leaks however often it’s resealed, on failed movement joints, botched or over-sealed joints and expansion joints.
Scotland’s cities have a lot of flats, from sandstone or granite tenements to modern blocks, as well as houses in the suburbs. Scottish water is generally soft, so limescale is less of a problem than in hard-water areas, but mould still grows into sealant and grout in a steamy bathroom.
You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Holy Corner as everywhere else we work.

How the visit works
The work is kept neat and contained to the joints we are treating. Expect the work to take a few hours for most joints, depending on how much old sealant has to come out, and we explain the cure time before we leave. For a tenement in Holy Corner, work inside your flat is between us and you, while shared parts may need the factor or neighbours to agree. It helps to know which it is when you get in touch.
- First we work out whether the problem is the sealant, movement or a leak.
- 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.
- We finish neatly and point out anything that needs another trade.
How to prepare
- Clear items away from the joints we’re working on
- Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed
- Tell us if parking is tricky

Why it’s worth doing now in Holy Corner
A failed seal rarely means a new bathroom. When the fittings are sound, stripping and resealing the joints is often enough. If they’re not, we’ll tell you. In a Scottish city tenement, failed sealant affects more than one flat: water can reach the flat below, and gaps in shared walls or fire-stopping affect the whole stair.
No two jobs are quite the same, so each one gets its own quote. The number of joints, how easy they are to reach and the sealant needed all make a difference, and we’ll explain the quote if you ask.
Why us?
- Trusted Arbo and Everbuild sealants
- White, clear, grey or coloured to suit, where the product allows
- Any old sealant cut out fully, not covered over
- Approved under the ARBOMaster scheme

DIY versus a professional finish
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, such as a straightforward joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. New silicone will not bond to old, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. All the old material has to come out first.

- Pictures of the joints, sent by email

Common problems we fix in Holy Corner
Joints that move need sealant that can stretch. Flexing baths, rocking trays and building movement joints split any bead that is too stiff or too thin.
Look out for these signs:
- Caulk or the wrong sealant used in a wet area
- Sealant applied over old sealant that has lifted
- Thick, messy sealant smeared over tiles
- Repeat leaks from the same joint
For landlords with property near Haymarket station, botched sealant from a previous quick fix is easier to strip out between tenants.

Your questions about remedial sealant in Holy Corner
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Haymarket station?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. Just email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk and tell us about the property, and we will send you a clear quote.
Could a leaking bath seal in my Holy Corner flat reach the neighbours below?
Yes, it can. In a tenement, water that gets past failed sealant or cracked grout can run under the bath or tray and through to the ceiling below. It’s worth sorting sealant and grout before it gets that far.
Do you remove the old sealant?
Always. Sealing over the old bead is the commonest cause of early failure, and it’s something we never do.
What happens if the problem is the tray or the plumbing?
In that case, we tell you what we have found. A plumber or fitter may be needed before any new sealant goes on.
Can you fix a reseal that hasn’t worked?
Yes. All the sealant comes out, we find out why it failed, and the joint is resealed properly.
What does remedial sealant cost?
The cost depends on the size of the job, access and how much old sealant has to come out. Call for a quick quote.
Does remedial work come with a guarantee?
Yes, for 12 months. Where we’ve flagged another fault, it needs fixing for the joint to last.
When is the sealant fully cured?
That depends on the sealant used, so follow the cure time we give you.
