Should I try it myself first?
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, 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.
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 fails, we can still redo it.
Remedial sealant in Kinellar
With more than 20 years’ experience, our applicators have seen most of the ways sealant can fail. We are ARBOMaster approved and fully insured, and every remedial job comes with a 12-month guarantee. We work on failed movement joints, botched or over-sealed joints and expansion joints, and common reasons people get in touch are gaps opening along the back of the worktop and sealant peeling off a dusty or damp surface.
A bathroom in a place like Kinellar gets the same daily wear as one in a city flat. Generally soft Scottish water means less limescale, but steam still lets mould into sealant and grout.
Our work is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you are.

Surface by surface
Over-sealed & botched joints
Every layer has to come out, including the smears and film on surrounding tiles. New sealant needs a fully clean surface.
Windows & doors
Frames resealed over the top end up with hard, layered mastic. We remove it all and clean back to sound surfaces before backing and resealing.
What happens on the day
Most of a good job is in the preparation, so that is where we spend the time. Every joint is cleaned and dried before new material goes in. All told, the work takes a few hours for a typical bath or shower, longer where several layers have been applied. Outdoor work around Kinellar depends on the weather, as sealant needs a dry surface, so an outdoor job can move if the forecast changes. Work indoors isn’t affected.
- We start by checking the joint for movement, leaks and the reason it failed.
- We strip the joint completely, removing any layers below.
- The joint is cleaned, treated for mould and left to dry.
- Moving joints get backing and a flexible sealant to suit.
- The new joint is tooled neatly and we explain anything else we found.

What we are called out for in Kinellar
Sealant needs a clean, dry surface with no grease on it. Residue, moisture or dust left in the joint weaken the bond, and the joint starts to come away early.
People normally contact us when they notice one of these:
- Wide, uneven beads that look worse than the old ones
- Products that weren’t meant for the joint
- Kitchen joints letting water behind the worktop
- Torn expansion joints
If you let a flat or house near Kintore station, a joint that keeps failing is best fixed properly while the property is empty.
What to look for in a quote
- Whether you can choose the colour
- What the quote includes, VAT included or not
- Whether they’re fully insured
- Whether they seal over old material or remove it
How to look after the new joints
Good habits help new joints last longer. Our tips:
- Find out why the sealant failed first
- Act on a lifting corner right away
- Keep the room well ventilated
- Never seal over old silicone
Clean gently: no scraping, scouring pads or harsh chemicals.
A failing joint rarely gets better on its own. Every shower or downpour sends more water through, into whatever is behind or below. Sorting it early limits the damage.
What we cannot put right
A few problems are outside what sealant work can do:
- A tray or worktop that needs refixing first
- Cracks in the fitting rather than the joint
- Older mastics that may need an asbestos check before removal
If you’re not sure, just email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.
Surfaces we seal
- Failed movement joints
- Mouldy bath & shower sealant
- Expansion joints
- Leaking tray & enclosure joints
- Botched or over-sealed joints
- Shrunken worktop sealant
What affects the cost of remedial sealant
We don’t publish a price list, because jobs vary so much. What we look at:
- The product the joint needs
- Whether old sealant or filler has to be cut out
- The number of rooms or windows
- Any mould that needs treating
The cost depends on how much there is to do, how hard the old material is to remove and access to the work. You’ll have a clear quote before any work starts.
Asking for a quote
Photos help, but a description is a good start. Try to tell us:
- Where the property is
- How we’d reach the joints
- The type of property
- A few pictures by email, if you can
We quote each job on its own. Just send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk with the details.

Remedial sealant around Kinellar
In Scotland, private landlords have to 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. Mould is another matter: a bathroom that stays damp still turns sealant and grout black.
Around Kinellar, as everywhere, remedial sealant is only as good as the preparation behind it.
