Remedial Sealant in Murieston
Removing failed, mouldy or leaking sealant and putting it right for homeowners, landlords and businesses in Murieston. Fully insured, ARBOMaster approved and guaranteed for a year.

Remedial sealant in Murieston, done properly
Removing failed sealant is the hardest part of the job. Every layer is cut out, the residue cleaned off and the joint degreased, without scratching tiles, trays or frames. Only then can new sealant bond. We work on expansion joints, shrunken worktop sealant and botched or over-sealed joints, and people most often call us about smears and lumps from a botched reseal and movement joints that have split or pulled away.
For a place like Murieston, the job is the same as anywhere: old material out, joints cleaned and dried, and a fresh, even finish. The journey and access are simply planned in advance.
You are covered for a year from the day we finish. If anything isn’t right with it, drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk.

DIY sealant or a professional job?
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that is fine. We remove it and do the joint properly, so just mention it when you contact us.
Some jobs are best left to a professional: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs need the right product, the right access and the right method.

Bathrooms and kitchens in Murieston
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 doesn’t dry out. In Scotland, private landlords have to meet the Repairing Standard, which covers keeping fixtures and fittings in a reasonable state of repair. Failed sealant around a bath or shower is worth sorting between tenancies.
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Inveralmond Community High School, we reseal washrooms and kitchens in schools and businesses as well as homes. If you let a flat or house near Livingston South station, failed or mouldy sealant is worth putting right between tenancies, before it turns into a leak.

What the job involves on each surface
Over-sealed & botched joints
Thick, smeared sealant looks messy and hides problems. We strip it back so we can see the joint, and then we reseal it neatly.
Worktops & kitchens
Kitchen joints often have grease and cleaning residue deep in them, so cleaning takes longer than in a bathroom.
Keeping the joints in good condition
A little care helps the new joints last. Our advice:
- Ask why a joint failed before redoing it
- Keep bleach and abrasives off the bead
- Deal with small splits early
- Keep an eye on the ceiling below the bathroom
Go easy on the new sealant: no scraping, scouring pads or harsh chemicals.
Mould under a second layer of sealant keeps growing out of sight. When it finally shows, the whole bead needs to come out.
What we cannot put right
We will not take on work that won’t last, so these are the limits:
- 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
- Failed tanking or loose tiles behind the sealant
Not sure which it is? You can drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
Surfaces we seal
- Mouldy bath & shower sealant
- Failed movement joints
- Leaking tray & enclosure joints
- Shrunken worktop sealant

Why act early in Murieston
Spraying mould remover on a sealed-over joint doesn’t reach what’s underneath. Removal is the only way to get at it, and the joint treated and dried before resealing. In an older home around Murieston, damp from a failed joint can get into timber and plaster.
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, and we will explain the quote if you ask.
