How we quote for remedial sealant
We quote each job individually. This is what makes a difference:
- The amount of work
- When we can work, for business premises
- Whether the work is at height
- The product the joint needs
Combining jobs into one visit normally makes better use of the time than several visits. We’ll give you a clear quote for the lot.
What we need to know
Photos help, but a description is a good start. Please mention:
- What’s wrong with the joints now
- Access, such as stairs, a lift or height
- If someone has resealed it before
- Photos by email, if that’s easy
We quote each job on its own, so start by telling us what you need. Just email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk with the details, and photos are welcome.
Remedial sealant in Meikle Earnock
In Meikle Earnock, as anywhere, remedial jobs tend to look alike: sealant over sealant, mould under the bead, leaks that come back and movement joints that have split. We strip each one back and start from scratch. We work on shrunken worktop sealant, failed movement joints and leaking tray & enclosure joints, and people most often call us about movement joints that have split or pulled away and black mould underneath the bead.
A bathroom in a place like Meikle Earnock 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.
We stand behind the work with a 12-month guarantee, so you’re not left on your own once the job is done.

Work for landlords, hotels and businesses
Businesses can book us for washrooms, kitchens, offices and more. On commercial sites, working times can be discussed when we quote.
Hotels need rooms back in use, so the work can be planned room by room. We have worked in hotels as well as homes and businesses.
How the job changes by surface
Windows & doors
A frame that keeps leaking may not be the mastic. If the frame joint is not the cause, we will say so.
Movement & expansion joints
A sealant stuck to the back of the joint can’t stretch. Backing stops that, letting the sealant flex between the two faces.

Common questions in Meikle Earnock
Is Meikle Earnock within the area you cover?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Our work covers the whole of Scotland. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
Do you cover Meikle Earnock for remedial sealant?
Yes. We work across all of Scotland, and Meikle Earnock is part of that. You can send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk and let us know what needs doing.
What information do you need?
Only a few details: the address or postcode, what’s wrong and any access issues. After that, simply drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk.
Do you take out the old sealant first?
Yes, every time. New silicone doesn’t stick to old silicone, so the joint is cleaned back first.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Of course. Combining jobs makes good use of the visit, so mention them when you ask for a quote.
Is there any odour?
Some sealants have a smell while they cure, but it fades. Opening a window helps.
Where are you based?
We’re based in Crawley, West Sussex, and we cover South East England, London and all of Scotland.
Can failed expansion joints be resealed?
Yes. Backing sets the depth and stops the sealant sticking to the back.
Bathrooms and kitchens in Meikle Earnock
Scotland’s water is generally soft, so sealant and grout see less limescale than in much of England. But mould still grows into sealant and grout in a room that does not dry out. In Scotland, private landlords have to meet the Repairing Standard, which covers keeping fixtures and fittings in a reasonable state of repair. Tired, leaking sealant is worth putting right before a new tenant moves in.
Managing a site like Earnock High School? Then 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. Homes close to Hamilton South Church include some older properties, and older homes can move a little, which is hard on rigid grout and tired sealant. Letting a property close to Hamilton Central station? Then botched sealant from a previous quick fix is easier to strip out between tenants.

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.
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. New silicone won’t bond to old, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. All the old material has to come out first.
Keeping the joints in good condition
A little care helps the new joints last. We recommend:
- Act on a lifting corner right away
- Have loose fittings fixed before resealing
- Find out why the sealant failed first
- Check ceilings under showers for marks
Give the new sealant its full cure time: follow the cure time we give you.
Leaks through failed sealant grow over time. Each use pushes more water behind the bead, into floors, walls or ceilings. Sorting it early limits the damage.
The process
There isn’t much for you to do on the day. Show us the job and we will take it from there. The work itself takes a few hours for most joints, depending on how much old sealant has to come out. Somewhere like Meikle Earnock may be a longer drive, and the journey is planned ahead. Mention tracks, gates, ferries or anything else about the route.
- The failure is looked at first, so we know whether it’s sealant, movement or water from elsewhere.
- Old beads and residue are removed down to clean surfaces.
- 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 are told about anything else we found.
How to prepare
- Clear items away from the joints we’re working on
- Tell us about any water getting in
- Let us know about stairs, lifts or work at height

Related advice
What happens if it’s left?
It’s easy to scratch acrylic, enamel or an uPVC frame cutting out old sealant, and any film left behind stops new sealant sticking. Careful stripping is where most of our time goes. Exposed walls in smaller Scottish places take a lot of wind and rain, and once water gets behind a failed joint, damp in stone or harled walls is slow to dry out.
No two jobs are quite the same, so each one gets its own quote. Size, access and the product the joint needs all play a part.
