Questions from Lumphanan
Is Lumphanan in your area for remedial sealant?
Yes, Lumphanan is within the area we cover. Our work covers the whole of Scotland. You can email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk and tell us what needs doing, and we will send you a clear quote.
Is remedial sealant in Lumphanan guaranteed?
Every job comes with our 12-month guarantee, wherever it is. We are fully insured, and an ARBOMaster approved applicator.
Is it worth trying it myself?
That depends on the joint. Work at height, movement joints, fire-rated gaps and large areas are best left to a professional, while a short indoor joint may be within reach.
What if resealing won’t fix my leak?
That is why we look for the cause first. If the fault is elsewhere, you’ll know before any work is done.
My shower still leaks after a reseal. Can you sort it?
Yes, normally. We check it’s the sealant and not the tray, valve or waste, then strip and reseal the joints.
Do the sealants smell?
It depends on the product. Some smell for a while, some hardly at all, and any smell fades as they cure.
Can landlords and businesses book you?
Yes. We work for householders, landlords, letting agents, businesses and hotels across Aberdeenshire.
Do you fix expansion and movement joints?
Yes. We cut out the failed sealant, fit backing and reseal with a flexible product.
Remedial sealant in Lumphanan, done properly
If a joint fails again and again, something is causing it. Movement, the wrong product or a leak from somewhere else will defeat even a perfect bead. Finding that cause comes before any new sealant. We work on shrunken worktop sealant, failed movement joints and leaking tray & enclosure joints, and common reasons people get in touch are a second bead peeling off the first and wide, uneven beads that look worse than the old ones.
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 generally the first signs.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard.

What remedial sealant looks like in Lumphanan
In Scotland, private landlords have to 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.
For an older house near a landmark such as Stothart Memorial Church, walls and floors in older homes can move, and sealant and grout show it first.

Different surfaces, different methods
Over-sealed & botched joints
A botched joint can hide two or three layers of sealant, and silicone residue is cleaned off the tiles too. Only a clean joint will take a new bead.
Windows & doors
Some leaks around windows come from the wall or the window itself. If the frame joint is not the cause, we will say so.
Should I try it myself first?
Some jobs are best left to a professional: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. Silicone does not stick to old silicone, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. Everything old must be removed first.
When to call us in Lumphanan
How a joint is built matters as much as the product. Sealant packed too deep, or stuck to the back of the joint as well as the sides, cannot stretch, and tears at the first real movement. Backing rod or bond-breaker tape prevents it.
The problems people normally mention when they call include:
- Kitchen joints letting water behind the worktop
- Decorators’ caulk around a bath or shower
- Thick, messy sealant smeared over tiles
- Sealant peeling off a dusty or damp surface
Around Lumphanan, as everywhere, remedial sealant is only as good as the preparation behind it.

How to look after the new joints
No joint lasts for ever, but care makes a real difference. A few tips:
- Find out why the sealant failed first
- Never seal over old silicone
- Never fill a movement joint with mortar or grout
- Use a soft cloth, not a scourer, on silicone
Watch the joint over the first few weeks, especially if movement was the problem. If anything changes, just send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk.
Mould under a second layer of sealant keeps growing out of sight. When it finally shows, the whole bead needs to come out.
