Remedial sealant in Mill of Fintray, done properly
If a joint has been resealed and is leaking again, it’s worth a proper look. It helps to have pictures when you send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk, along with when it was last resealed. If you have over-sealed joints coming away and sealant peeling off a dusty or damp surface, we can help, whatever the surface.
Bathrooms in smaller places like Mill of Fintray work just as hard as those in the cities. Limescale is less of a problem with Scotland’s generally soft water, but mould still takes hold in damp sealant and grout.
Your job is guaranteed for a year, as with all our work.

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 job generally takes a few hours for a typical bath or shower, longer where several layers have been applied, including the tidy-up. Around Mill of Fintray, distance and access matter more than parking. Let us know how to find you and how to reach the joints.
- We start by checking the joint for movement, leaks and the reason it failed.
- Every layer of old sealant is cut and cleaned out.
- The joint is cleaned, treated for mould and left to dry.
- Moving joints get backing and a flexible sealant to suit.
- Finally we finish the joint and talk you through what we found.
Getting ready for the visit
- Clear the area around the work
- Mention any sign-in or site rules at work premises
- Tell us if parking is tricky

Advice
DIY versus a professional finish
If you’re set on DIY, put the effort into preparation: remove every trace of old sealant, clean and dry the joint, and follow the product’s cure time. If it does not work out, we can still put it right.
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and doesn’t move well, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.
Leave it or put it right?
Hidden water does the most damage: wet floors, stained ceilings and swollen worktops. Dealing with the joint now is a small job by comparison. Out of town in Scotland, exposed walls take a lot of weather, and once water gets behind a failed joint, damp in stone or harled walls is slow to dry out.
What it costs depends on how much there is to do, how hard the old material is to remove and how easy the joints are to reach. You’ll have a clear quote before any work starts.

Looking after it afterwards
Looking after new joints is easy:
- Keep the room well ventilated
- Get the cause of a repeat leak found before resealing
- Keep an eye on the ceiling below the bathroom
- Don’t point over movement joints
Clean gently: no scraping, scouring pads or harsh chemicals.
Signs to act on: sealant lifting at the ends, a second bead visible on top of the first, black mould under the silicone, or stains below a bathroom. Each one is worth getting looked at.
When to call us in Mill of Fintray
Some joints fail because water is reaching them from behind. A leaking valve, a failed waste or cracked grout feeds water behind the bead, so the silicone goes mouldy or lets go.
Keep an eye out for these signs:
- Beads that never stuck properly
- Kitchen joints letting water behind the worktop
- Decorators’ caulk around a bath or shower
- Leaks that keep coming back after resealing
Homes close to Fintray Parish Church include some older properties, and timber floors under older bathrooms flex, so joints need a sealant that moves with them.
What to look for in a quote
- What the cure time is
- Are they insured?
- How the joint is cleaned and prepared
- Is the old sealant removed completely?
When it isn’t the sealant
Sealant isn’t the answer to every problem, and we’ll tell you before we start. Sealant will not put right:
- Leaks from a shower valve, waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
- A tray or worktop that needs refixing first
- Water damage behind tiles that needs a tiler
If in doubt, email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk and we’ll say what we think before booking.

What remedial sealant looks like in Mill of Fintray
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 does not dry out. Aberdeen is known for its granite tenements, where, as in any flat, a failed seal can reach the flat below.
For landlords with property near Kintore station, failed or mouldy sealant is worth putting right between tenancies, before it turns into a leak.
