Remedial Sealant in Lasswade
Failed sealant joints in Lasswade need attention? We remove the old material, prepare the joints and seal them properly.
- Movement joints that have split or pulled away
- Gaps opening along the back of the worktop
- Beads that never stuck properly
What we do, step by step
Before we leave, we go over the finished joints with you and tell you how long to leave it. The work normally takes a few hours for most joints, depending on how much old sealant has to come out, depending on the size of the job. Around Lasswade, distance and access matter more than parking. Let us know how to find you and how to reach the joints, and the visit is planned around that.
- First we find out how and where the joint has failed.
- All the old sealant comes out, including any layers underneath.
- We clean the joint, treat any mould and let it dry.
- Where the joint moves, backing and a flexible sealant suited to the movement go in.
- Finally we finish the joint and talk you through what we found.
Getting ready for the visit
- Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work
- Tell us about any previous sealing or DIY attempts
- Let us know about stairs, lifts or work at height

Remedial sealant in Lasswade
A movement joint stops working when its sealant splits or sets hard. The old sealant comes out and backing goes in to control the depth, before resealing with a flexible product suited to the movement. If you are dealing with worktop sealant that has shrunk and split and decorators’ caulk around a bath or shower, we can help, on botched or over-sealed joints, mouldy bath & shower sealant and leaking tray & enclosure joints alike.
Across smaller places in Scotland, homes range from stone and harled cottages to newer houses. Where a building moves, cracked grout and split sealant are normally the first signs.
All of our work is guaranteed for twelve months.

What we are called out for in Lasswade
All sealant wears out eventually. Mould grows into the silicone, the surface hardens and the bead shrinks, especially in damp, poorly aired rooms. Then the only fix is removal and a new bead.
Any of these means the joints need attention:
- Floor or wall movement joints that have failed
- Dark patches showing through the sealant
- Smears and lumps from a botched reseal
- Leaks that keep coming back after resealing
For landlords with property near Eskbank station, botched sealant from a previous quick fix is easier to strip out between tenants.

Different surfaces, different methods
Windows & doors
Some leaks around windows come from the wall or the window itself. If the frame joint isn’t the cause, we will say so.
Mouldy bath & shower sealant
Where mould keeps coming back, ventilation is normally part of the cause. Along with resealing, we will mention if the room needs better ventilation.
Work for landlords, hotels and businesses
Whether it’s one flat or a portfolio, you get the same standard of work: the old material taken out, careful preparation and a 12-month guarantee.

Remedial sealant around Lasswade
Scottish Water supplies are generally soft, so limescale is less of a problem than in hard-water areas. But mould still grows into sealant and grout in a room that doesn’t dry out. Private landlords in Scotland must be registered and 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.

DIY sealant or a professional job?
Not every job suits DIY: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas need the right product, the right access and the right method.
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is.
What we can’t put right
In fairness, there are a few things sealant will not fix:
- Sealant in an older building that needs testing for asbestos first
- Tiles that have come away from the wall
- Leaks from a shower valve, waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
If in doubt, drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk and we will say what we think before you book.
Where we work in Lasswade
- Shrunken worktop sealant
- Mouldy bath & shower sealant
- Leaking tray & enclosure joints

How we quote for remedial sealant
The price is agreed before any work begins. It’s based on:
- Which sealant suits the joint
- Access and height
- Working hours on commercial sites
- Mould in or behind the old joints
Doing several joints on one visit generally makes better use of the time than several visits, so tell us about everything that needs sealing. We’ll give you a clear price for the lot.
Asking for a quote
Photos help, but a description is a good start. Please mention:
- If someone has resealed it before
- How we’d reach the joints
- Whether it’s a home or a business
- The problem you’ve noticed
