Remedial sealant for homes and businesses in Kirkliston
In Kirkliston, as anywhere, remedial jobs tend to look alike: over-sealed joints, hidden mould, repeat leaks and split movement joints. We strip each one back and start from scratch. We work on botched or over-sealed joints, shrunken worktop sealant and mouldy bath & shower sealant, and the jobs we see most are sealant peeling off a dusty or damp surface and decorators’ caulk around a bath or shower.
Being further from a city doesn’t change the work: old material out, joints cleaned and dried, and a fresh, even finish. We just plan the journey and access beforehand.
Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by our one-year guarantee in Kirkliston and across Edinburgh.

Can I do it myself?
Not every job suits DIY: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
If you are 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.
For landlords and businesses
We work for landlords and letting agents as well as homeowners. Sealant work between tenants keeps a property looking cared for.
Water getting past a failed joint can damage the building, which is a bigger problem in a rented property. Resealing at the right time is simple maintenance.
How the visit works
When we get to you, we compare the joints with what we discussed. If we find something unexpected, we talk it through with you first. After that, the work takes a few hours for most joints, depending on how much old sealant has to come out. Outdoor work around Kirkliston depends on the weather, as sealant needs a dry surface, so an outdoor job can move if the forecast changes. Work indoors is not affected.
- We protect the surfaces around the joint.
- Every layer of failed sealant is stripped out.
- The joint is degreased and checked for movement and leaks.
- New sealant goes in once the joint is dry, and is tooled smooth.
- You get the cure time and our view on why the joint failed.
Before we arrive
- Clear the area around the work
- Mention any tricky access
- Mention any sign-in or site rules at work premises

Kirkliston questions
Is Kirkliston within the area you cover?
Yes. Kirkliston is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. We work across all of Scotland. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Do you work for landlords with property near Dalmeny station?
Yes, we work for letting agents and landlords. You can send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk with the address and a few details, and we will give you a fixed price before we start.
Can you fix a reseal that hasn’t worked?
Yes. Repeat leaks normally come from over-sealing, movement or water getting in elsewhere, so we find that first.
Will you leave a mess?
Not at all. The area is protected while we work and cleaned up afterwards.
Do you guarantee remedial jobs?
Yes, for 12 months. If we’ve pointed out another problem, getting it fixed helps the new joint last.

Yes. Hotels, offices and other businesses use us, and we are fully insured.
Bathrooms and kitchens in Kirkliston
Kirkliston is within about 3 miles of the coast. Near the coast, holiday lets and guest houses can see bathrooms used by one guest after another, and sealant and grout that work that hard wear out sooner. 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.
Rented homes near Dalmeny station change hands often, and failed or mouldy sealant is worth putting right between tenancies, before it turns into a leak. If you look after a building such as Queensferry High School, its toilets, changing areas and kitchens need their sealant renewed like any other building’s. Homes close to Kirkliston Parish Church include some older properties, and bathrooms in older houses have often been refitted more than once, with sealant laid over sealant.

What happens if it’s left?
Stripping out botched sealant adds time to a reseal, but not by much: the work takes a few hours for most joints, depending on how much old sealant has to come out. It’s far less disruption than resealing the same joint again and again. Exposed walls in smaller Scottish places take a lot of wind and rain, and damp in stone or harled walls takes a long time to dry once water gets behind a joint.
Commercial jobs are quoted on the same basis as homes: how much there is to do, how we reach it and what it needs, plus any working-time requirements on site. Ask us for a quote and we will explain what it covers.

Keeping the joints in good condition
Looking after new joints is easy:
- Find out why the sealant failed first
- Keep bleach and abrasives off the bead
- Keep an eye on the ceiling below the bathroom
- Don’t add new sealant on top of old
Where we’ve pointed out another fault, have it put right, because the new sealant can’t hold back a problem underneath.
Signs to act on: sealant lifting at the ends, a second bead visible on top of the first, black mould under the silicone, or stains below a bathroom. Any of them means it’s time for remedial work.
What the job involves on each surface
Leaking trays & enclosures
A cracked tray, failed valve or leaking waste needs a different fix. We say so rather than reseal.
Windows & doors
Smeared or badly matched mastic can be cut out and redone neatly, matched to the frame colour.
