Remedial sealant & repairs in Lochee, Dundee
Removing failed, mouldy or leaking sealant and putting it right for homes and businesses in Lochee and across Dundee. Fully insured, ARBOMaster approved and guaranteed for a year.
- Thick, messy sealant smeared over tiles
- Products that weren’t meant for the joint
- Mould trapped under a layer of silicone
How we handle remedial sealant in Lochee
A joint that keeps failing normally has a reason. Movement, the wrong product or a leak from somewhere else will defeat even a perfect bead. We look for the cause before we reseal. We work on shrunken worktop sealant, leaking tray & enclosure joints and failed movement joints, and people most often call us about torn expansion joints and caulk or the wrong sealant used in a wet area.
Scotland’s cities have a lot of flats, from sandstone or granite tenements to modern blocks, as well as houses in the suburbs. Scottish water is generally soft, so limescale is less of a problem than in hard-water areas, but mould still grows into sealant and grout in a steamy bathroom.
A 12-month guarantee comes as standard, so you are covered after we have gone.

Remedial sealant in Lochee: local notes
Lochee is close to 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. Sandstone tenements are a big part of Dundee’s housing, so a leaking seal can soon reach the neighbours below.
Schools such as Menzieshill High School are buildings too, and 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. Rented homes near Dundee station change hands often, and failed or mouldy sealant is worth putting right between tenancies, before it turns into a leak.

What affects the cost of remedial sealant
Jobs vary more than people expect. The main factors:
- Whether old sealant or filler has to be cut out
- The number and length of the joints
- How many rooms, windows or areas are involved
- When we can work, for business premises
We do not show prices on the website, because each job is priced on what it involves. For a quick quote, please drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk and we will talk you through it.
What we need to know
To make quoting easier, let us know:
- Pictures of the joints, sent by email
- If someone has resealed it before
- Access, such as stairs, a lift or height
- The problem you’ve noticed

Different surfaces, different methods
Worktops & kitchens
Kitchen joints often have grease and cleaning residue deep in them, so we spend extra time cleaning.
Leaking trays & enclosures
A cracked tray, failed valve or leaking waste needs a different fix. We say so rather than reseal.
Keeping the joints in good condition
Looking after new joints is easy:
- Check trays and worktops do not move
- Act on a lifting corner right away
- Don’t point over movement joints
- Ask why a joint failed before redoing it
Go easy on the new sealant: no scraping, scouring pads or harsh chemicals.
If a joint has failed more than once, stop resealing it. Get the cause found first, or the next bead will go the same way.
Work for landlords, hotels and businesses
Mouldy or split sealant often shows up at the end of a tenancy, and it’s easy to sort out between tenants. We can quote for more than one property at once.
Letting agents often deal with us directly. Send the address, what’s needed and the access arrangements and we’ll give you a quote.
DIY sealant or a professional job?
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions, and the work is guaranteed for a year.
Some jobs are best left to a professional: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs call for the right materials, safe access and experience.

Signs you need remedial sealant in Lochee
One of the commonest remedial jobs is sealant on top of sealant. New silicone cannot stick to the old bead, so the new layer peels, and damp and mould settle between them.
These are the problems we are asked about most:
- Torn expansion joints
- Over-sealed joints coming away
- Decorators’ caulk around a bath or shower
- Dark patches showing through the sealant
Homes close to Lochee Baptist Church include some older properties, and timber floors under older bathrooms flex, so joints need a sealant that moves with them.

How it works
All our tools and materials come with us in the van. After a quick look at the joints together, the area is protected and the work begins. Most jobs take a few hours, depending on how many layers have to come out. In a Scottish city, a lot of jobs are in tenement flats, up a common stair from a shared close. In Lochee, it helps to know the floor, the door entry arrangements and the nearest parking.
- We start by checking the joint for movement, leaks and the reason it failed.
- We strip the joint completely, removing any layers below.
- The joint is cleaned, treated for mould and left to dry.
- We use the right backing and sealant for any joint that moves.
- Finally we finish the joint and talk you through what we found.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any sign-in or site rules at work premises
- Mention any tricky access
- Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints

Your questions about remedial sealant in Lochee
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Dundee station?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for, and several properties can be quoted together. You can email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk with the details for a clear quote.
Do you work in hotels near Lochee?
Yes, hotels and guest houses are among the places we work. A room-by-room programme keeps most rooms in use while the work goes on.
Can you remove sealant that is been put over old sealant?
Yes. It’s slower than a standard reseal, because every layer has to come out cleanly, but it’s what makes the new bead last.
Where is Mr Mastic based?
Our base is Crawley. Our area covers South East England, London and Scotland.
How long before the joint can be used?
Different products cure at different speeds, so follow the cure time we give you.
Is it worth trying it myself?
Some simple jobs can be done by a careful DIYer. Most DIY failures come from sealing over old material, wet joints or too much sealant.
Do you have insurance?
Yes. Mr Mastic is fully insured, with over 20 years’ experience in sealant work.
How long does the work take?
A little longer than a standard reseal. For most joints, it’s a few hours, and we confirm the time with your quote.
