Remedial sealant in Lochfoot, done properly
Movement and expansion joints fail when the sealant cannot 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 expansion joints, botched or over-sealed joints and shrunken worktop sealant, and common reasons people get in touch are smears and lumps from a botched reseal and a second bead peeling off the first.
A bathroom in a place like Lochfoot gets the same daily wear as one in a city flat. Limescale is less of a problem with Scotland’s generally soft water, but mould still takes hold in damp sealant and grout.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything is not right with it, drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk.

Why deal with it now?
Adding more sealant is the usual quick fix, and it rarely works. It doesn’t grip the old layer, leaving the leak in place and one more layer to cut out later. In an older home around Lochfoot, damp from a failed joint can get into timber and plaster, which is a far bigger job than the sealant.
We do not show prices on the website, because the cost depends so much on the job itself. Call for a quick quote.

Yes. We hold ARBOMaster approved applicator status, and we are fully insured.
Common problems we fix in Lochfoot
How a joint is built matters as much as the product. A bead bonded on three sides, or laid too thick, cannot flex, so it tears when the joint moves. Backing sets the depth and stops that.
It’s worth asking for a quote if you see:
- Smears and lumps from a botched reseal
- Movement joints that have split or pulled away
- Caulk or the wrong sealant used in a wet area
- Dark patches showing through the sealant
In and around Lochfoot, as anywhere, good remedial sealant starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint.
Questions to ask before you book
- Who turns up on the day
- How the surfaces are prepared before sealing
- What the quote includes, VAT included or not
- The length of the guarantee
How it works
Before we leave, we go over the finished joints with you. The work normally takes a few hours for most joints, depending on how much old sealant has to come out, depending on how much there is to do. Outside jobs in Lochfoot need a dry day, because sealant won’t bond to a wet joint, so an outdoor job can move if the forecast changes. Work indoors is not affected.
- The failure is looked at first, so we know whether it’s sealant, movement or water from elsewhere.
- Each layer is cut out and the residue cleaned off.
- Mould is treated and the joint dried.
- We reseal with a product suited to the joint, backed where needed.
- The joint is tooled and you’re told about anything else we found.
Getting ready for the visit
- Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work

How to look after the new joints
Once the sealant has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Look for stains below bathrooms now and then
- Check trays and worktops don’t move
- Don’t add new sealant on top of old
- Get the cause of a repeat leak found before resealing
If we’ve found a cause, such as a loose tray or a leaking waste, get it fixed, or the new joint may fail again.
Mould trapped under over-sealed joints spreads unseen. By the time it shows through, the joint is well past saving.
Should I try it myself first?
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.
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.
Remedial sealant around Lochfoot
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. 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.
If you live in an older home near Parish Church and Burial-Ground, bathrooms in older houses have often been refitted more than once, with sealant laid over sealant.
