Remedial sealant for homes and businesses in Little Brechin
Getting old sealant out properly is slow, careful work. We cut out every layer, clear the residue and degrease the surfaces, without scratching tiles, trays or frames. Only then can new sealant bond. Common call-outs are for mould trapped under a layer of silicone and thick, messy sealant smeared over tiles, on botched or over-sealed joints, leaking tray & enclosure joints and failed movement joints.
For a place like Little Brechin, the job is the same as anywhere: 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.
Our work is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you are.

In hotels, rooms out of use cost money, so we plan the work room by room around your bookings where we can. We’ve worked in hotels as well as homes and businesses.
If you manage several properties in or around Little Brechin, jobs at different addresses can be quoted together. Send us the addresses and the work at each.
What happens on the day
When we arrive, we start by going over the job with you. Surfaces next to the work are protected before any work begins. The work generally takes a few hours, depending on how many layers have to come out. Around Little Brechin, distance and access matter more than parking. Tell us how to find the property and how to reach the work, and the visit is planned around that.
- 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.
- Next, any mould is treated and the joint dried.
- Moving joints get backing and a flexible sealant to suit.
- The new joint is tooled neatly and we explain anything else we found.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before
- For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children

Little Brechin homes and their sealant
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. 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.
Managing a site like Brechin High School? Then washroom and kitchen sealant there needs the same care as at home, and schools and businesses are part of our work as well as homes. In and around Little Brechin, as anywhere, good remedial sealant starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint.

Why deal with it now?
Leaks that are left keep doing damage out of sight: soaked floorboards, ceiling stains below and blown plaster. 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.
The cost reflects the work involved, not a rough estimate. That’s why we ask a few questions first.
What you get with us

How the job changes by surface
Windows & doors
Wrong-coloured or messy mastic can be replaced for appearance too, in a colour that suits the frame.
Over-sealed & botched joints
Botched joints sometimes have damaged edges from earlier scraping. We take care not to make it worse, and tell you about any damage we find.
Keeping the joints in good condition
To keep the joints looking good and working properly:
- Never fill a movement joint with mortar or grout
- Get the cause of a repeat leak found before resealing
- Report a tray that rocks or a worktop that lifts
- Do not wait for a small gap to become a leak
Leave the new joint to cure fully before it gets wet or moves: follow the cure time we give you.
Don’t keep resealing the same joint. Have someone find out why, otherwise the next attempt will fail too.
When something else is needed
A few problems are outside what sealant work can do:
- Plumbing leaks behind walls or under trays
- Old mastic in a building from before 2000 that should be checked for asbestos before it’s disturbed
- A cracked shower tray or bath (that needs repair or replacing)
If in doubt, send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk and we will say what we think before booking.
