What affects the cost of remedial sealant
Every job gets its own quote. These are the things that affect it:
- The type of sealant required
- Access and height
- Mould in or behind the old joints
- How many rooms, windows or areas are involved
Combining jobs into one visit normally makes better use of the time than several visits. We’ll give you a clear price for the lot.
Asking for a quote
What to tell us when you ask for a quote:
- Where the job is, and your postcode
- Pictures of the joints, sent by email
- The type of property
- What’s wrong with the joints now
The more we know about the job, the more useful the quote. Let us know the location, the problem and roughly how many joints, and add pictures by email if you can.
Remedial sealant for homes and businesses in Markethill
Remedial jobs in Markethill normally fall into a few patterns: sealant over sealant, mould under the bead, leaks that come back and movement joints that have split. Each is stripped back and done again properly. We’re often asked to deal with sealant applied over old sealant that has lifted and decorators’ caulk around a bath or shower, across botched or over-sealed joints, leaking tray & enclosure joints and shrunken worktop sealant.
A bathroom in a place like Markethill gets the same daily wear as one in a city flat. Generally soft Scottish water means less limescale, but steam still lets mould into sealant and grout.
Your job is guaranteed for a year, as with all our work.

What we can’t put right
New sealant cannot fix everything, and we’d rather say so up front. Sealant won’t put right:
- Sealant in an older building that needs testing for asbestos first
- Failed tanking or loose tiles behind the sealant
- A tray or bath that’s cracked
If in doubt, drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk and we will say what we think before booking.
Joints and surfaces we work on
- Leaking tray & enclosure joints
- Mouldy bath & shower sealant
- Expansion joints
- Shrunken worktop sealant
- Botched or over-sealed joints
- Failed movement joints
For landlords and businesses
For anyone letting property in or around Markethill, several properties can be quoted together. Send us the addresses and the work at each, and pictures by email help.
Whether it’s one flat or a portfolio, you get the same standard of work: the old material taken out, careful preparation and a 12-month guarantee.
Keeping the joints in good condition
No joint lasts for ever, but care makes a real difference. A few tips:
- Report a tray that rocks or a worktop that lifts
- Air the bathroom so the sealant can dry
- Use a soft cloth, not a scourer, on silicone
- Never seal over old silicone
Go easy on the new sealant: a mild cleaner and a soft cloth, with no blades or scourers.
Mould trapped under over-sealed joints spreads unseen. When it finally shows, the whole bead needs to come out.

No. The area is protected while we work and cleaned up afterwards.
Is there any odour?
Sometimes, a little. Any smell clears as the sealant cures, and ventilation helps.

How it works
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 a typical bath or shower, longer where several layers have been applied for a typical job. Outdoor work around Markethill depends on the weather, as sealant needs a dry surface, so an outdoor job can move if the forecast changes. Work indoors is not affected.
- First we find out how and where the joint has failed.
- We strip the joint completely, removing any layers below.
- The joint is cleaned, treated for mould and left to dry.
- Moving joints get backing and a flexible sealant to suit.
- The new joint is tooled neatly and we explain anything else we found.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us about any water getting in
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive
- Clear the area around the work

What the job involves on each surface
Mouldy bath & shower sealant
Mould can sit behind the silicone, not just in it. We treat the exposed joint once the bead is out so the new sealant starts clean.
Over-sealed & botched joints
Previous removal attempts can leave scratches or gouges. We take care not to make it worse, and tell you about any damage we find.
Common problems we fix in Markethill
Silicone only bonds to surfaces that are clean and dry. Soap film, dust, damp or old residue stop it gripping, and the joint starts to come away early.
These are the problems we are asked about most:
- Gaps opening along the back of the worktop
- Black mould underneath the bead
- Over-sealed joints coming away
- Sealant peeling off a dusty or damp surface
If you live in an older home near Abbey Church, timber floors under older bathrooms flex, so joints need a sealant that moves with them.
Questions to ask before you book

- What preparation is included
- How the colour is chosen
