Remedial Sealant in Kirktown
Removing failed, mouldy or leaking sealant and putting it right for homes and businesses in Kirktown and across Aberdeenshire. Fully insured, ARBOMaster approved and guaranteed for a year.
- A shower that leaks however often it’s resealed
- Gaps opening along the back of the worktop
- Floor or wall movement joints that have failed
Common problems we fix in Kirktown
How a joint is built matters as much as the product. A bead bonded on three sides, or laid too thick, cannot flex, so it tears when the joint moves. Backing rod or bond-breaker tape prevents it.
People usually contact us when they notice one of these:
- Floor or wall movement joints that have failed
- Beads that never stuck properly
- Smears and lumps from a botched reseal
- Leaks that keep coming back after resealing
Around Kirktown, as everywhere, remedial sealant is only as good as the preparation behind it.

Remedial sealant in Kirktown
A joint that keeps failing normally has a reason. Movement, the wrong product or a leak from somewhere else will beat any new bead. Finding that cause comes before any new sealant. Common call-outs are for sealant peeling off a dusty or damp surface and worktop sealant that has shrunk and split, across mouldy bath & shower sealant, leaking tray & enclosure joints and botched or over-sealed joints.
Being further from a city doesn’t change the work: everything old is cut out, the joints are cleaned and dried, and new sealant or grout goes in. The journey and access are simply planned in advance.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee.

How the job changes by surface
Mouldy bath & shower sealant
Mould that has grown into silicone does not clean out for good. The sealant is cut out completely, the joint treated with a mould remover and dried before anti-fungal sanitary silicone goes in.
Worktops & kitchens
If a worktop moves when you lean on it, the sealant will keep splitting. That needs refixing before resealing, and we will tell you if we find it.

Kirktown homes and their sealant
Kirktown is within about 2 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. 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.
If you live in an older home near St Fergus Parish Church and Churchyard, timber floors under older bathrooms flex, so joints need a sealant that moves with them.

How the visit works
Good joint work is mostly preparation, and we do not rush it. Joints are cleaned back and dried before anything new 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 Kirktown depends on the weather, as sealant needs a dry surface, so an outdoor job can move if the forecast changes. Indoor work goes ahead whatever the weather.
- Surrounding tiles, trays and frames are protected first.
- Every layer of failed sealant is stripped out.
- We clean and degrease the joint and look for signs of movement or water.
- Once dry, a suitable sealant is applied and tooled.
- We give you the cure time and explain what caused the failure.
Before we arrive
- Let us know about parking restrictions
- Clear items away from the joints we’re working on
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children

Why deal with it now?
Hidden water does the most damage: wet floors, stained ceilings and swollen worktops. Dealing with the joint now is a small job by comparison. When the nearest tradesperson is a drive away, it’s tempting to leave a small leak, but water behind a failed seal does the most damage when nobody’s watching.
Combining jobs into one visit generally makes better use of the time than several visits. You will get one clear quote for the whole job.

DIY versus a professional finish
Not every job suits DIY: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, such as a straightforward joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.
How to look after the new joints
Good habits help new joints last longer. A few tips:
- Do not wait for a small gap to become a leak
- Look for stains below bathrooms now and then
- Keep bleach and abrasives off the bead
- Don’t point over movement joints
Watch the joint over the first few weeks, especially if movement was the problem. Should anything change, send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk.
Movement joints that have split let water into the structure, and the longer it’s left, the more the joint edges break down. Resealing while the edges are sound is simpler.
