Remedial sealant in Kirktown of Fetteresso: local notes
Kirktown of Fetteresso is close to the coast. Coastal homes, holiday lets and guest houses can see heavy bathroom use in busy months, and sealant and grout that work that hard wear out sooner. 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.
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Mackie Academy, its toilets, changing areas and kitchens need their sealant renewed like any other building’s. If you live in an older home near Fetteresso Old Parish Church And Graveyard, bathrooms in older houses have often been refitted more than once, with sealant laid over sealant.

Remedial sealant in Kirktown of Fetteresso
Movement and expansion joints fail when the sealant can’t stretch. We cut out the failed sealant and set the depth with backing, before resealing with a flexible product suited to the movement. We work on mouldy bath & shower sealant, shrunken worktop sealant and failed movement joints, and the jobs we see most are worktop sealant that has shrunk and split and sealant peeling off a dusty or damp surface.
In and around a place like Kirktown of Fetteresso, homes range from older stone-built properties to newer houses. Older buildings can move a little, and that shows first in cracked grout and split sealant.

Does remedial work come with a guarantee?
Yes. Every job comes with our one-year guarantee.
Are you ARBOMaster approved?
Yes. We’re approved under the ARBOMaster scheme.
Can you take off two layers of silicone?
Yes. Each layer is cut out and the residue cleaned off, before resealing with a single bead.
What sealant do you use?
It depends on the joint: anti-fungal sanitary silicone in wet areas, and other sealants where joints move or face the weather. Brands we use include Arbo and Everbuild.
Can you remove old sealant without damaging the bath?
Yes. We take our time over removal, particularly on softer surfaces like acrylic.
My shower still leaks after a reseal. Can you sort it?
Yes. We will take all the sealant out, look for why it failed and reseal it properly.
When it isn’t the sealant
It helps to know what we can’t do too:
- Plumbing leaks behind walls or under trays
- Failed tanking or loose tiles behind the sealant
- A tray or worktop that needs refixing first
If you’re not sure, just drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk and we will give you a straight answer.
Where we work in Kirktown of Fetteresso
- Botched or over-sealed joints
- Expansion joints
- Failed movement joints
- Shrunken worktop sealant

Why deal with it now?
Mould under a bead cannot be reached by cleaning. Removal is the only way to get at it, so the joint can be treated and resealed. In a place like Kirktown of Fetteresso, small leaks are easy to put off, but water behind a failed seal does the most damage when nobody’s watching.

Advice
How to look after the new joints
Good habits help new joints last longer. A few tips:
- Keep movement joints clear of mortar and paint
- Deal with small splits early
- Use a soft cloth, not a scourer, on silicone
- Always have old sealant cut out, not covered
Do not let anyone seal over it later. Over-sealing is how many remedial jobs start.
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.
Common problems we fix in Kirktown of Fetteresso
Joint depth matters. Sealant packed too deep, or stuck to the back of the joint as well as the sides, can’t stretch, and tears at the first real movement. Backing sets the depth and stops that.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- Torn expansion joints
- Sealant peeling off a dusty or damp surface
- Decorators’ caulk around a bath or shower
- Repeat leaks from the same joint
If you let a flat or house near Stonehaven station, failed or mouldy sealant is worth putting right between tenancies, before it turns into a leak.
What to look for in a quote
