Remedial sealant in Netherburn, done properly
With more than 20 years’ experience, our applicators have seen most of the ways sealant can fail. We’re ARBOMaster approved and fully insured, and remedial work carries our 12-month guarantee. If you have dark patches showing through the sealant and movement joints that have split or pulled away, we can put it right, on leaking tray & enclosure joints, failed movement joints and mouldy bath & shower sealant alike.
A bathroom in a place like Netherburn 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.
Your job is guaranteed for a year, as with all our work.

How it works
Our applicators work methodically: protection first, then preparation, sealing and a tidy-up. Typically it takes a few hours for most joints, depending on how much old sealant has to come out, and the area is left clean. For a place like Netherburn, longer drives are planned in advance. Mention tracks, gates, ferries or anything else about the route.
- First we work out whether the problem is the sealant, movement or a leak.
- Old beads and residue are removed down to clean surfaces.
- We treat any mould and dry the joint thoroughly.
- We reseal with a product suited to the joint, backed where needed.
- We finish neatly and point out anything that needs another trade.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints
- Let us know about stairs, lifts or work at height

Advice

Why act early in Netherburn
DIY removal often leaves scratches and a film of residue, and the residue left behind stops the next bead bonding. Careful removal is most of a remedial job. Around Netherburn, water from a failed joint in an older stone home can soak into timber and plaster.
Instead of a standard rate, we look at what your job involves: how many joints, what’s in them now and how we reach them. You will know the price before we begin.
What you get with us
- Neat joints and a tidy finish
- We agree the colour with you first
- A sealant colour to suit the surroundings
- We never seal over old sealant
See what affects the cost and what customers say.
Looking after it afterwards
So the new joints stay in good condition:
- Don’t point over movement joints
- Always have old sealant cut out, not covered
- Keep bleach and abrasives off the bead
- Ask why a joint failed before redoing it
Ventilation keeps mould away from the new bead: use the extractor or open a window after showering.
Don’t keep resealing the same joint. Get the cause found first, otherwise the next attempt will fail too.
Honest limits
Some problems need a builder, plumber or other trade rather than us:
- Old mastic in a building from before 2000 that should be checked for asbestos before it’s disturbed
- Leaks from a shower valve, waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
- Movement from fittings that are not supported
If you are not sure, just email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk and we’ll give you a straight answer.
What we seal
- Expansion joints
- Shrunken worktop sealant
- Mouldy bath & shower sealant
- Botched or over-sealed joints
- Failed movement joints
- Leaking tray & enclosure joints
Signs you need remedial sealant in Netherburn
A lot of failed joints have been sealed over rather than replaced. Silicone doesn’t bond to silicone, so the new layer peels, and damp and mould settle between them.
The problems people generally mention when they call include:
- Gaps opening along the back of the worktop
- A shower that leaks however often it’s resealed
- Sealant that came away because the surface wasn’t prepared
- Wide, uneven beads that look worse than the old ones
Letting a property close to Carluke station? Then a joint that keeps failing is best fixed properly while the property is empty.
What your quote should include
- Whether all the old sealant comes out first
- What guarantee comes with the work
- What insurance they hold
- How the surfaces are prepared before sealing

Bathrooms and kitchens in Netherburn
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. Scottish Water supplies are generally soft, so limescale is less of a problem than in hard-water areas. Mould is another matter: a bathroom that stays damp still turns sealant and grout black.

I let a flat near Carluke station. Can you help?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for. You can email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk with the details for a clear quote.
Do I have to be there?
Access is agreed with you when the job is booked. Indoors, that usually means someone at home.
Do you take out the old sealant first?
Always. Sealing over old sealant is the main reason resealing fails early, and it’s something we never do.
How long does remedial resealing take?
That depends on how many layers there are and how many joints. You’ll have a timescale before any work begins.
What if the leak isn’t the sealant?
Then we explain what we’ve found. You may need a plumber or bathroom fitter before any new sealant goes on.
How much does remedial sealant cost in Netherburn?
The cost depends on the size of the job, access and how much old sealant has to come out. Call for a quick quote.
