Leave it or put it right?
A joint that has failed twice will fail again unless the cause is dealt with. Taking time to find the cause, whether it’s movement, a leak or the wrong product, is what stops it happening again. In a place like Kemnay, small leaks are easy to put off, but water through a failed joint keeps working away until it’s fixed.
What it costs depends on the amount of work, how hard the old material is to remove and access to the work. You will have a clear quote before any work starts.
Why us?
- We leave the area clean and tidy
- White, clear, grey or another colour, product permitting
- We are fully insured
- We never seal over old sealant

Do you need remedial sealant in Kemnay?
Joint depth matters. Sealant packed too deep, or stuck to the back of the joint as well as the sides, cannot stretch, so it tears when the joint moves. Backing rod or bond-breaker tape prevents it.
If you can see any of these, it’s time to have the joints looked at:
- Sealant applied over old sealant that has lifted
- Repeat leaks from the same joint
- Beads that never stuck properly
- Caulk or the wrong sealant used in a wet area
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Kemnay Academy, its toilets, changing areas and kitchens need their sealant renewed like any other building’s.

How we quote for remedial sealant
Some jobs are bigger than they look, and some smaller. The main factors:
- When we can work, for business premises
- How much old sealant there is and how hard it is to remove
- How many areas need sealing
- Which sealant suits the joint
Combining jobs into one visit is generally more efficient than separate visits, so tell us about everything that needs sealing. You will get one clear quote for the whole job.
What we need to know
Before you ask for a quote, have a think about:
- Photos by email, if that’s easy
- If it’s domestic, commercial or a hotel
- What’s wrong with the joints now
- How many joints, rooms or windows are involved
A good description makes for an accurate quote. Tell us where the job is, what’s wrong and how much there is.
Kemnay homes and their sealant
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. Scotland’s water is generally soft, so sealant and grout see less limescale than in much of England. But mould still grows into sealant and grout in a room that does not dry out.
Letting a property close to Kintore station? Then a joint that keeps failing is best fixed properly while the property is empty. In the older streets around Kemnay Parish Church, walls and floors in older homes can move, and sealant and grout show it first.

Questions from Kemnay
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Kintore station?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for. You can send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk with the details for a clear quote.
Do you cover smaller places like Kemnay?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. We work across all of Scotland. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
What information do you need?
Only a few details: the address or postcode, what’s wrong and any access issues. After that, simply send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk.
Can you remove sealant that is been put over old sealant?
Yes. Stripping layered sealant takes longer than a normal reseal, but it’s the only way the new joint will last.
Can old silicone be taken off without scratching the tiles?
Yes, with care. The old bead is cut and lifted with tools that suit the surface, and the residue is cleaned away. We point out any damage that’s already there.
Can you do several jobs on one visit?
Yes. Just list everything you need.
What if resealing won’t fix my leak?
In that case, we tell you what we’ve found. You may need a plumber or bathroom fitter before any new sealant goes on.
Can I do it myself?
That depends on the joint. Work at height, movement joints, fire-rated gaps and large areas are best left to a professional.
DIY versus a professional finish
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, such as a straightforward joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
Some jobs are best left to a professional: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs need the right product, the right access and the right method.
What happens on the day
Good joint work is mostly preparation, and we don’t rush it. Joints are cleaned back and dried before anything new goes in. In total, it normally takes a few hours for a typical bath or shower, longer where several layers have been applied. Outside jobs in Kemnay need a dry day, because sealant will not bond to a wet joint, so external jobs may need to move if the day turns wet. Indoor work goes ahead whatever the weather.
- We start by checking the joint for movement, leaks and the reason it failed.
- All the old sealant comes out, including any layers underneath.
- Next, any mould is treated and the joint dried.
- Where the joint moves, backing and a flexible sealant suited to the movement go in.
- Finally we finish the joint and talk you through what we found.
Before we arrive
- Mention any sign-in or site rules at work premises
- Let us know about stairs, lifts or work at height
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit
