How we handle remedial sealant in Kilmarnock
The wrong product in the wrong joint will not last, however tidy it looks. We take it out and use a sealant made for that joint. We work on expansion joints, shrunken worktop sealant and mouldy bath & shower sealant, and common reasons people get in touch are sealant that came away because the surface wasn’t prepared and sealant applied over old sealant that has lifted.
Scottish water is generally soft, so homes in a town like Kilmarnock see less limescale than many parts of England. But mould still finds its way into sealant and grout wherever a room stays damp.
There’s a 12-month guarantee on every job, whatever its size.

What the job involves on each surface
Over-sealed & botched joints
A thick bead smeared across tiles often hides mould or gaps. We strip it back so we can see the joint.
Windows & doors
Some leaks around windows come from the wall or the window itself. If the frame joint is not the cause, we will say so.

Can tenants book the work?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are often happy for the work to be arranged.
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, then clean off the residue. Any existing damage is pointed out before any work starts.
What do you put in the joint?
We choose the sealant for the joint, not the other way round. Movement, water and weather all affect the choice, and we’ll explain our choice.
How long does the work take?
The number of joints and layers decides it. We will tell you before we start.
Can landlords and businesses book you?
Yes, often. Several properties can go on one quote.
What sealant work cannot fix
Sealant isn’t the answer to every problem, and we’ll tell you before work begins. It will not solve:
- Failed tanking or loose tiles behind the sealant
- A tray or bath that’s cracked
- Old mastic in a building from before 2000 that should be checked for asbestos before it’s disturbed
Not sure which it is? You can drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

How it works
When we arrive, we look over the joints with you first, so there are no surprises. Surfaces next to the work are protected before we start.

In a Scottish town like Kilmarnock, parking is normally straightforward, though older centres can be tighter. For flats, mention the shared stair or door entry system.
- Surrounding tiles, trays and frames are protected first.
- The botched or failed sealant is cut away completely.

Kilmarnock homes and their sealant
Scottish Water supplies are generally soft, so limescale is less of a problem than in hard-water areas. Mould is another matter: a bathroom that stays damp still turns sealant and grout black. Private landlords in Scotland must be registered and meet the Repairing Standard, which covers keeping fixtures and fittings in a reasonable state of repair. Failed sealant around a bath or shower is worth sorting between tenancies.
Managing a site like Kilmarnock Academy? Then 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. Rented homes near Kilmarnock station change hands often, and failed or mouldy sealant is worth putting right between tenancies, before it turns into a leak. In the older streets around Henderson Church Of Scotland, walls and floors in older homes can move, and sealant and grout show it first.

Aftercare tips
Joint life depends on how it’s used and looked after. We suggest:
- Have loose fittings fixed before resealing
- Find out why the sealant failed first
- Look for stains below bathrooms now and then
- Keep movement joints clear of mortar and paint
Leave the new joint to cure fully before it gets wet or moves: follow the cure time we give you.
Leaks through failed sealant grow over time. Each use pushes more water behind the bead, into floors, walls or ceilings. Early action keeps it to a sealant job.
Can I do it myself?
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that’s fine. We cut it out and start again, so just mention it when you contact us.
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
