DIY versus a professional finish
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.
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.
Remedial sealant in Magdalene, done properly
Remedial work is what we do when sealant has failed or been done badly. New sealant over old, smeared beads, unsuitable products and hidden mould all need stripping out. We work on failed movement joints, mouldy bath & shower sealant and expansion joints, and the jobs we see most are leaks that keep coming back after resealing and worktop sealant that has shrunk and split.
Tenement flats are common in all four of Scotland’s big cities, alongside suburban houses and modern blocks. With flats above and below, a leak from a tired seal can reach the flat underneath.
There’s a 12-month guarantee on every job, whatever its size.

Do you need remedial sealant in Magdalene?
Joints that move need sealant that can stretch. A bath that flexes, a tray that rocks or a building joint that opens and closes split any bead that is too stiff or too thin.
Any of these means the joints need attention:
- Kitchen joints letting water behind the worktop
- Torn expansion joints
- Products that weren’t meant for the joint
- Thick, messy sealant smeared over tiles
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Portobello High School, 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.

What affects the cost of remedial sealant
Your quote is based on your job. We look at:
- How much old sealant there is and how hard it is to remove
- Working hours on commercial sites
- The number of rooms or windows
- Any mould that needs treating
Instead of a standard rate, we look at what your job involves: the amount of work, the old material and the access. You will know the price before we begin.
What we need to know
To make quoting easier, please include:
- A few pictures by email, if you can
- Whether it’s a home or a business
- Where the property is
- Whether it has been sealed before
Getting a quote is simple: let us know what needs doing and where and its rough size. Photos by email help us understand the job.
What sealant work can’t fix
A few problems are outside what sealant work can do:
- Tiles that have come away from the wall
- Sealant in an older building that needs testing for asbestos first
- A tray or bath that is cracked
If you are not sure, just send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk and we will give you a straight answer.
Where we work in Magdalene
- Leaking tray & enclosure joints
- Botched or over-sealed joints
- Expansion joints
- Shrunken worktop sealant

Why act early in Magdalene
Mould under a bead can’t be reached by cleaning. The layers have to come out, and the joint treated and dried before resealing. In a tenement flat in Magdalene, a failed seal is rarely just your problem: a leak can come through the ceiling below, and gaps in shared walls or fire-rated joints matter to every flat.
No two jobs are quite the same, so each one gets its own quote. Size, access and the product the joint needs all make a difference, and we will explain the quote if you ask.

Yes. We take our time over removal, especially on acrylic, enamel and uPVC.
What happens on the day
Most of a good job is in the preparation, and we don’t rush it. Joints are cleaned back and dried before anything new goes in. In total, it usually takes a few hours for a typical bath or shower, longer where several layers have been applied. Many homes in Scotland’s cities are tenement flats, reached through a shared close and up a common stair. For a job in Magdalene, tell us the floor, how the door entry system works and where we can park nearby.
- 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.
- The new joint is tooled neatly and we explain anything else we found.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints
- Tell us if parking is tricky
