Questions from Loanhead
Is Loanhead within the area you cover?
Yes, Loanhead is covered. Our work covers the whole of Scotland, from towns to the smallest places. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
I let a flat near Eskbank station. Can you help?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for, and several properties can go on one quote. Just drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk with the address and what needs doing, and we’ll give you a clear quote.
Is it worth trying it myself?
It depends on the job. High-level, external movement and fire-rated joints are professional jobs.
What information do you need?
A short description and the location, plus photos if you have them. If we need more, we’ll ask.
What do you put in the joint?
It depends on the joint: sanitary silicone where it gets wet, and sealants suited to movement or weather elsewhere. Brands we use include Arbo and Everbuild.
When is the sealant fully cured?
Cure times vary by product and the conditions. Before we leave, we will tell you the cure time.
Do you work for hotels and businesses?
Yes. We can plan bigger jobs in stages.
Can you reseal a split movement joint?
Yes. Where mortar or filler has been used instead of sealant, it’s removed where it can be, and reseal with a flexible product.
Remedial sealant for homes and businesses in Loanhead
Getting old sealant out properly is slow, careful work. Every layer is cut out, the residue cleaned off and the joint degreased, taking care not to scratch the surfaces around it. Only then can new sealant bond. We work on botched or over-sealed joints, expansion joints and leaking tray & enclosure joints, and people most often call us about sealant peeling off a dusty or damp surface and decorators’ caulk around a bath or shower.
A bathroom in a place like Loanhead gets the same daily wear as one in a city flat. Generally soft Scottish water means less limescale, but steam still lets mould into sealant and grout.
A 12-month guarantee comes as standard.

What remedial sealant looks like in Loanhead
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. 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.
If you let a flat or house near Eskbank station, botched sealant from a previous quick fix is easier to strip out between tenants. Schools such as Lasswade High School Centre are buildings too, and we reseal washrooms and kitchens in schools and businesses as well as homes.

Honest limits
Honest advice matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what sealant cannot fix:
- Older mastics that may need an asbestos check before removal
- Leaks from a shower valve, waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
- Failed tanking or loose tiles behind the sealant
Not sure which it is? You can drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk and we’ll tell you honestly.
What we seal
- Mouldy bath & shower sealant
- Failed movement joints
- Leaking tray & enclosure joints
- Shrunken worktop sealant
- Botched or over-sealed joints
- Expansion joints
Aftercare tips
No joint lasts for ever, but care makes a real difference. A few tips:
- Have loose fittings fixed before resealing
- Always have old sealant cut out, not covered
- Keep movement joints clear of mortar and paint
- Act on a lifting corner right away
Keep the room ventilated: use the extractor or open a window after showering.
A failing joint rarely gets better on its own. Every shower or downpour sends more water through, into floors, walls or ceilings. Early action keeps it to a sealant job.
Can I do it myself?
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions, and the work is guaranteed for a year.
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that is fine. We cut it out and start again, so tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
Surface by surface
Worktops & kitchens
A loose worktop splits its sealant. That needs refixing before resealing, which we will point out.
Leaking trays & enclosures
Repeat shower leaks often come from a tray that flexes or an enclosure sealed in the wrong place. We check both before we reseal.
Leave it or put it right?
Mould under a bead can’t be reached by cleaning. Removal is the only way to get at it, so the joint can be treated and resealed. 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.
A few things move the cost up or down: how much old sealant there is and how stubborn it is, whether mould needs treating, and whether the work is at height. Your quote takes all of that into account.
