About our remedial sealant in Kirkton of Maryculter
Not every leak is a sealant leak. A cracked tray, a failed shower valve or a leaking waste can look just the same. When the fault is elsewhere, we say so instead of resealing for the sake of it. We work on leaking tray & enclosure joints, failed movement joints and mouldy bath & shower sealant, and common reasons people get in touch are worktop sealant that has shrunk and split and torn expansion joints.
A bathroom in a place like Kirkton of Maryculter gets the same daily wear as one in a city flat. Limescale is less of a problem with Scotland’s generally soft water, but mould still takes hold in damp sealant and grout.
Every job comes with our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Aberdeen.

Kirkton of Maryculter homes and their sealant
Aberdeen, the Granite City, has plenty of granite tenements, where, as in any flat, a failed seal can reach the flat below. In Scotland, private landlords have to meet the Repairing Standard, which covers keeping fixtures and fittings in a reasonable state of repair. Tired, leaking sealant is worth putting right before a new tenant moves in.
In the older streets around Maryculter Parish Church, walls and floors in older homes can move, and sealant and grout show it first. Rented homes near Portlethen station change hands often, and failed or mouldy sealant is worth putting right between tenancies, before it turns into a leak.

Do you need remedial sealant in Kirkton of Maryculter?
A lot of failed joints have been sealed over rather than replaced. Silicone does not bond to silicone, so the top layer lifts and water and mould collect between the two.
Common reasons people contact us are:
- Black mould underneath the bead
- Gaps opening along the back of the worktop
- Thick, messy sealant smeared over tiles
- Caulk or the wrong sealant used in a wet area
Schools such as International School of Aberdeen are buildings too, and its toilets, changing areas and kitchens need their sealant renewed like any other building’s.

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: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
How the job changes by surface
Mouldy bath & shower sealant
Mould can sit behind the silicone, not just in it. Once it’s all removed, the joint is treated.
Movement & expansion joints
Some movement joints have been filled with mortar or grout. Where it can be raked out, we replace it with flexible sealant.
Work for landlords, hotels and businesses
Landlords and letting agents in Kirkton of Maryculter can book us as well as householders. Resealing between tenancies is a simple way to keep a property in good order before the next move-in.
Hotels need rooms back in use, so we plan the work room by room around your bookings where we can. Hotel work is part of what we do, alongside homes and businesses.
What affects the quote in Kirkton of Maryculter
Every job gets its own quote. This is what makes a difference:
- How many rooms, windows or areas are involved
- The old material and how stubborn it is
- Which sealant suits the joint
- When we can work, for business premises
Doing several joints on one visit generally makes better use of the time than several visits, so tell us about everything that needs sealing. You’ll get one clear quote for the whole job.
What to tell us for a quote
What to tell us when you ask for a quote:
- If someone has resealed it before
- Pictures of the joints, sent by email
- What the problem is, such as mould, gaps, leaks or cracking
- If it’s domestic, commercial or a hotel
It all starts with a short chat. Tell us what’s wrong, where it is and how much there is. Whenever you’re ready, send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk.
The process
You don’t need to clear the whole room or building before we come, only the area right around the joints. Everything nearby is protected, and the work takes a few hours for a typical bath or shower, longer where several layers have been applied for a typical job. Outside jobs in Kirkton of Maryculter need a dry day, because sealant will not bond to a wet joint, so an outdoor job can move if the forecast changes. Indoor work goes ahead whatever the weather.
- We look at how the sealant has failed and check for movement or a leak path.
- All the old sealant comes out, including any layers underneath.
- We clean the joint, treat any mould and let it dry.
- Moving joints get backing and a flexible sealant to suit.
- We tool the joint and tell you about anything else that needs attention.
Preparing for the visit
- Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work
- Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed
- Clear items away from the joints we’re working on

What does remedial sealant cost?

Can you remove old sealant without damaging the bath?
Yes. Residue is removed with a product suited to the surface rather than scraped hard, so the new sealant bonds cleanly.
