What happens if it’s left?
Repeat failures have a cause. Finding it, whether movement, water from elsewhere or an unsuitable product, ends the cycle. In a place like Kirkton of Tough, small leaks are easy to put off, but water through a failed joint keeps working away until it’s fixed.
Every job is a little different, so we quote each one individually. Size, access and the product the joint needs all make a difference, and we’ll explain the quote if you ask.
Why book with us
- Any old sealant cut out fully, not covered over
- Anti-fungal sanitary silicone in wet areas
- An ARBOMaster approved applicator
- A choice of colours where the product allows

Remedial sealant in Kirkton of Tough
Decorators’ caulk in a shower, bathroom silicone on a window, a rigid filler in a movement joint will not last, however tidy it looks. We take it out and use a sealant made for that joint. If you have products that weren’t meant for the joint and floor or wall movement joints that have failed, we can help.
Across smaller places in Scotland, homes range from stone and harled cottages to newer houses. Older buildings can move a little, and that shows first in cracked grout and split sealant.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If there’s a problem with it, please drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk.

What affects the cost of remedial sealant
Your quote is based on your job. We take into account:
- The size of the job
- Whether the work is at height
- Whether old sealant or filler has to be cut out
- How many areas need sealing
A failed joint rarely gets cheaper to fix by waiting, as water and mould keep getting in. If you’re unsure, email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk and we’ll give you an honest view and a quote.
What to tell us for a quote

Kirkton of Tough homes and their sealant
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. 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.

Advice
Aftercare tips
Aftercare is simple:
- Air the bathroom so the sealant can dry
- Get the cause of a repeat leak found before resealing
- Deal with small splits early
- Keep bleach and abrasives off the bead
Give the new sealant its full cure time: generally around 24 hours, or as long as we advise.
If a joint has failed more than once, stop resealing it. Get the cause found first, or the next bead will go the same way.
What else we do in Kirkton of Tough
Signs you need remedial sealant in Kirkton of Tough
Silicone only bonds to surfaces that are clean and dry. Soap film, dust, damp or old residue stop it gripping, so it starts lifting sooner than it should.
Common reasons people contact us include:
- Dark patches showing through the sealant
- Torn expansion joints
- Wide, uneven beads that look worse than the old ones
- A second bead peeling off the first
Homes close to Tough Parish Church include some older properties, and walls and floors in older homes can move, and sealant and grout show it first.
