Milton of Balgonie Remedial Sealant
Our applicators work in Milton of Balgonie on removing failed, mouldy or leaking sealant and putting it right. Old material cut out, joints cleaned and sealed neatly and a 12-month guarantee.

How we handle remedial sealant in Milton of Balgonie
Remedial work is what we do when sealant has failed or been done badly. Silicone laid over silicone, smears across tiles, the wrong product in a moving joint or mould trapped underneath all have to come out. If you are dealing with movement joints that have split or pulled away and smears and lumps from a botched reseal, we can put it right, on expansion joints, botched or over-sealed joints and failed movement joints alike.
Being further from a city doesn’t change the work: everything old is cut out, the joints are cleaned and dried, and new sealant or grout goes in. We just plan the journey and access beforehand.
All our work comes with a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Fife.

What we do, step by step
We work through the job in order: protect, prepare, seal, tidy. For most jobs that takes a few hours for most joints, depending on how much old sealant has to come out and we leave things clean and tidy. Somewhere like Milton of Balgonie may be a longer drive, and the journey is planned ahead. Mention tracks, gates, ferries or anything else about the route.
- First we work out whether the problem is the sealant, movement or a leak.
- Each layer is cut out and the residue cleaned off.
- We treat any mould and dry the joint thoroughly.
- 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.
Getting ready for the visit
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit
- Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints
- Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work

Advice
Milton of Balgonie questions
Can you do remedial sealant in Milton of Balgonie?
Yes, Milton of Balgonie 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, and we will send you a clear quote.
I let a flat near Markinch station. Can you help?
Yes. We work for letting agents and landlords as well as homeowners, and several properties can go on one quote. Just email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk with the address and what needs doing, and we’ll give you a clear quote.
Do you take out the old sealant first?
Yes. We cut out all the old sealant and clean the joint before resealing.
Someone sealed over the old bead. Can you fix it?
Yes. We remove every layer; new silicone does not bond to old silicone, which is why over-sealing fails.
Do I have to be there?
That depends on where the joints are. For work indoors, someone needs to let us in, and for outside work we will agree access with you when we book.
Can you do several jobs on one visit?
Yes. Tell us about everything you’d like done.

How the job changes by surface

Why deal with it now?
Mould under a bead can’t be reached by cleaning. Removal is the only way to get at it. In a place like Milton of Balgonie, small leaks are easy to put off, but water behind a failed seal does the most damage when nobody’s watching.
Every job is a little different, so we quote each one individually. The number of joints, how easy they are to reach and the sealant needed all make a difference.
What you get with us
- Anti-fungal silicone where joints get wet
- We agree the colour with you first
- Experience in homes, commercial sites and hotels
- A choice of colours where the product allows

Do you need remedial sealant in Milton of Balgonie?
One of the commonest remedial jobs is sealant on top of sealant. New silicone cannot stick to the old bead, so the top layer lifts and water and mould collect between the two.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- Thick, messy sealant smeared over tiles
- Gaps opening along the back of the worktop
- Sealant applied over old sealant that has lifted
- Sealant that came away because the surface wasn’t prepared
If you look after a building such as Milton of Balgonie Primary 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.

Landlord and commercial work in Milton of Balgonie

Bathrooms and kitchens in Milton of Balgonie
Milton of Balgonie is close to the coast. Coastal homes, holiday lets and guest houses can see heavy bathroom use in busy months, and sealant and grout that work that hard wear out sooner. Scotland’s water is generally soft, so sealant and grout see less limescale than in much of England. Mould is another matter: a bathroom that stays damp still turns sealant and grout black.
Homes close to Balgonie and Windygates Parish Church include some older properties, and older homes can move a little, which is hard on rigid grout and tired sealant. Rented homes near Markinch station change hands often, and botched sealant from a previous quick fix is easier to strip out between tenants.
