Lumsden Remedial Sealant
We cover Lumsden for removing failed, mouldy or leaking sealant and putting it right. Old sealant removed completely, joints prepared properly and a one-year guarantee.
- Sealant peeling off a dusty or damp surface
- Floor or wall movement joints that have failed
- Dark patches showing through the sealant
When to call us in Lumsden
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, can’t stretch, so it tears when the joint moves. Backing sets the depth and stops that.
These are the problems we’re asked about most:
- Kitchen joints letting water behind the worktop
- Sealant applied over old sealant that has lifted
- Floor or wall movement joints that have failed
- Smears and lumps from a botched reseal
Whether the job is in Lumsden itself or nearby, the right material for each joint matters as much as a neat finish.
Questions to ask before booking
- What preparation is included
- What the cure time is
- What happens if they find a problem under the old sealant
- The length of the guarantee
About our remedial sealant in Lumsden
Movement and expansion joints fail when the sealant can’t stretch. The old sealant comes out and backing goes in to control the depth, before resealing with a flexible product suited to the movement. If you’re dealing with products that weren’t meant for the joint and sealant applied over old sealant that has lifted, we can help, whatever the surface.
Bathrooms in smaller places like Lumsden work just as hard as those in the cities. Generally soft Scottish water means less limescale, but steam still lets mould into sealant and grout.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

Questions from Lumsden
Is Lumsden in your area for remedial sealant?
Yes, Lumsden is within the area we cover. Our work covers the whole of Scotland. Just drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk with a few details of the job.
Is remedial sealant in Lumsden guaranteed?
All our work, in Lumsden and everywhere else, comes with a 12-month guarantee. We’re fully insured, and an ARBOMaster approved applicator.
Do you do commercial work?
Yes, regularly. Larger jobs can be planned room by room or area by area.
Is it messy?
Very little: the area around the joints is protected first, and we clear up the old sealant and our materials before we leave.
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. We use products from Arbo and Everbuild.
How long before the joint can be used?
It depends on the product. We tell you how long to leave it before we go.
Do you take out the old sealant first?
Yes. All of the old material is cut out and the joint cleaned before resealing.
Can landlords and businesses book you?
Yes, we do. Domestic, commercial and hotel work are all part of what we do.
DIY sealant or a professional job?
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that is fine. We remove it and do the joint properly, so just mention it when you contact us.
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, such as a straightforward joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.

The process
You don’t need to clear the whole room or building before we come, only the area right around the joints. Everything nearby is protected, and the work takes a few hours for most joints, depending on how much old sealant has to come out in most cases. Somewhere like Lumsden may be a longer drive, and the journey is planned ahead. Mention tracks, gates, ferries or anything else about the route.
- We look at how the sealant has failed and check for movement or a leak path.
- We strip the joint completely, removing any layers below.
- Next, any mould is treated and the joint dried.
- We use the right backing and sealant for any joint that moves.
- Finally we finish the joint and talk you through what we found.
How to prepare
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit
- Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed
- Mention any tricky access

Remedial sealant around Lumsden
Scottish Water supplies are generally soft, so limescale is less of a problem than in hard-water areas. But mould still grows into sealant and grout in a room that doesn’t dry out. Private landlords in Scotland must be registered and meet the Repairing Standard, which includes keeping fixtures and fittings in reasonable repair. Tired, leaking sealant is worth putting right before a new tenant moves in.
