Is it messy?

Can you take off two layers of silicone?

Will the old sealant be removed?
Yes, every time. New silicone doesn’t stick to old silicone, so the joint is cleaned back first.

Why act early in Innerwick
Spraying mould remover on a sealed-over joint doesn’t reach what’s underneath. The layers have to come out. In an older home around Innerwick, damp from a failed joint can get into timber and plaster, which is a far bigger job than the sealant.
Homes and businesses are quoted the same way: how much there is to do, how we reach it and what it needs. Ask us for a quote and we will explain what it covers.
Why book with us
- Homes, businesses and hotels
- Fully insured
- We leave the area clean and tidy

When something else is needed
Honest advice matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what new sealant will not do:
- Sealant in an older building that needs testing for asbestos first
- Movement from fittings that are not supported
- Tiles that have come away from the wall
If you are not sure, just drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.
What we seal
- Botched or over-sealed joints
- Mouldy bath & shower sealant
- Failed movement joints
- Shrunken worktop sealant
- Leaking tray & enclosure joints
- Expansion joints
Keeping the joints in good condition
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Clean sealant with mild products only
- Keep the room well ventilated
- Keep an eye on the ceiling below the bathroom
- Find out why the sealant failed first
Clean gently: no scraping, scouring pads or harsh chemicals.
Do not keep resealing the same joint. Have someone find out why, otherwise the next attempt will fail too.
Should I try it myself first?
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. New silicone won’t bond to old, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. Everything old must be removed first.
If you’re set on DIY, put the effort into preparation: remove every trace of old sealant, clean and dry the joint, and follow the product’s cure time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still put it right.
What remedial sealant looks like in Innerwick
Innerwick is within about 2 miles of the coast. Coastal homes, holiday lets and guest houses can see heavy bathroom use in busy months, which wears sealant and grout out faster than in a quiet home. In Scotland, private landlords have to meet the Repairing Standard, which includes keeping fixtures and fittings in reasonable repair. Tired, leaking sealant is worth putting right before a new tenant moves in.
Homes close to Innerwick Parish Church include some older properties, and walls and floors in older homes can move, and sealant and grout show it first. Letting a property close to Dunbar station? Then failed or mouldy sealant is worth putting right between tenancies, before it turns into a leak.
