What we can’t put right
New sealant cannot fix everything, and we’d rather say so up front. It won’t solve:
- Leaks from a shower valve, waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
- Old mastic in a building from before 2000 that should be checked for asbestos before it’s disturbed
- A tray or worktop that needs refixing first
Not sure which it is? You can email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk and we will tell you honestly before booking.
Surfaces we seal
- Leaking tray & enclosure joints
- Expansion joints
- Failed movement joints
- Botched or over-sealed joints
- Mouldy bath & shower sealant
- Shrunken worktop sealant
Remedial sealant in Muirhead, done properly
A joint that keeps letting you down needs more than another bead. Send pictures when you drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk, and say how long ago it was last done. We work on failed movement joints, mouldy bath & shower sealant and leaking tray & enclosure joints, and the jobs we see most are torn expansion joints and mould trapped under a layer of silicone.
Being further from a city does not change the work: old material out, joints cleaned and dried, and a fresh, even finish. We just plan the journey and access beforehand.
There’s a 12-month guarantee on every job, large or small.

Looking after it afterwards
Good habits help new joints last longer. Our tips:
- Ask why a joint failed before redoing it
- Keep an eye on the ceiling below the bathroom
- Keep the room well ventilated
- Use a soft cloth, not a scourer, on silicone
Watch the joint over the first few weeks, especially if movement was the problem. If anything changes, just send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk.
Do not keep resealing the same joint. Get the cause found first, or the next bead will go the same way.
What remedial sealant looks like in Muirhead
Private landlords in Scotland must be registered and meet the Repairing Standard, which includes keeping fixtures and fittings in reasonable repair. Failed sealant around a bath or shower is worth sorting between tenancies. Sandstone tenements are a big part of Dundee’s housing, so a leaking seal can soon reach the neighbours below.
Letting a property close to Invergowrie station? Then a joint that keeps failing is best fixed properly while the property is empty. If you look after a building such as Menzieshill High School, we reseal washrooms and kitchens in schools and businesses as well as homes.

Can I do it myself?
A DIY attempt does not rule out a professional job. We remove it and do the joint properly, so tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
Not every job suits DIY: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas need the right product, the right access and the right method.

How the job changes by surface
Windows & doors
Wrong-coloured or messy mastic can be replaced for appearance too, matched to the frame colour.
Leaking trays & enclosures
If the tray is cracked, or the leak is from the valve or waste, sealant will not fix it. We say so rather than reseal.
How we quote for remedial sealant
Every job gets its own quote. These are the things that affect it:
- The product the joint needs
- How much old sealant there is and how hard it is to remove
- Mould in or behind the old joints
- How much there is to do
No two jobs are quite the same, so each one gets its own quote. The number of joints, how easy they are to reach and the sealant needed all play a part, and we will explain the quote if you ask.
What we need to know
What to tell us when you ask for a quote:
- Any access issues, like height or stairs
- The address or postcode of the job
- The rough size of the job
- Whether it’s a home or a business
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.
Common questions in Muirhead
Can you do remedial sealant in Muirhead?
Yes. We work across all of Scotland, and Muirhead is part of that. 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.
Will you come out to Muirhead?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. We work across all of Scotland. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
My shower still leaks after a reseal. Can you sort it?
Yes. We’ll take all the sealant out, look for why it failed and reseal it properly.
Do you fix expansion and movement joints?
Yes. If a joint has been filled with mortar or rigid filler, we rake it out where possible, then the joint is sealed properly.
Will there be a smell?
Possibly a little. Any smell clears as the sealant cures, and ventilation helps.
Can you remove sealant that’s been put over old sealant?
Yes. Stripping layered sealant takes longer than a normal reseal, but it’s what makes the new bead last.
Can you strip sealant from an acrylic tray safely?
Yes. We avoid heavy scraping and use the right cleaner for each surface, so the new sealant bonds cleanly.
Do I need to be at home?
If the work is inside, we need someone to let us in. Once we’ve agreed the job, you do not need to watch us work.
Why it’s worth doing now in Muirhead
A joint that has failed twice will fail again unless the cause is dealt with. Taking time to find the cause, whether it’s movement, a leak or the wrong product, is what stops it happening again. Exposed walls in smaller Scottish places take a lot of wind and rain, and damp in stone or harled walls takes a long time to dry once water gets behind a joint.
The cost reflects the work involved, not guesswork. That is why we ask a few questions first and agree the price before starting.
