About our remedial sealant in Nethercraigs
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 need stripping out before the joint can be done properly. Common call-outs are for dark patches showing through the sealant and torn expansion joints, on expansion joints, leaking tray & enclosure joints and shrunken worktop sealant.
Tenement flats are common in all four of Scotland’s big cities, alongside suburban houses and modern blocks. With flats above and below, a leak from a tired seal can reach the flat underneath.
Each job carries a 12-month guarantee.

Common questions in Nethercraigs
Can you do remedial sealant in Nethercraigs?
Yes. We work across all of Scotland, and Nethercraigs is part of that. You can send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk and let us know what needs doing.
Do you work for landlords with property near Corkerhill station?
Yes, we work for letting agents and landlords. You can drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk with the address and a few details, and we will give you a fixed price before work begins.
Do you guarantee remedial jobs?
Yes. Every job comes with our one-year guarantee.
Can failed expansion joints be resealed?
Yes. We cut out the failed sealant, fit backing and reseal with a flexible product.
Can old silicone be taken off without scratching the tiles?
Yes. Careful removal is most of a remedial job, especially on acrylic, enamel and uPVC.
Can you do several jobs on one visit?
Yes. Several rooms, windows or areas can go on one quote.
Should I try DIY first?
You can, for simple jobs. Preparation is everything: all the old sealant out, and a clean, dry joint. We can always put it right if it fails.
Is there any odour?
Sometimes, a little. Any smell clears as the sealant cures.
Can I do it myself?
A DIY attempt doesn’t rule out a professional job. We cut it out and start again, so just mention it when you contact us.
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. New silicone won’t bond to old, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. Everything old must be removed first.
Remedial sealant in Nethercraigs: local notes
In Scotland, private landlords have to 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. 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.
Homes close to St James' (Pollok) Parish Church include some older properties, and timber floors under older bathrooms flex, so joints need a sealant that moves with them. Schools such as Lourdes Secondary School are buildings too, and we reseal washrooms and kitchens in schools and businesses as well as homes.
Nethercraigs is about 3 miles south-west of Glasgow, in Glasgow. Homes, rented property, offices and hotels in Nethercraigs can book us for remedial sealant. The work is guaranteed for a year. Nethercraigs is one of 183 places in Glasgow where we work for remedial sealant.

Signs you need remedial sealant in Nethercraigs
Water from somewhere else can ruin a good seal. A leaking valve, a failed waste or cracked grout feeds water behind the bead, so the silicone goes mouldy or lets go.
Most people get in touch when they notice one of these:
- Worktop sealant that has shrunk and split
- Sealant that came away because the surface wasn’t prepared
- Products that weren’t meant for the joint
- Floor or wall movement joints that have failed
Letting a property close to Corkerhill station? Then failed or mouldy sealant is worth putting right between tenancies, before it turns into a leak.
What your quote should include
- What insurance they hold
- How long to leave it before use
- Whether all the old sealant comes out first
- Which colour the sealant will be
Why deal with it now?
Remedial work takes longer than a straight reseal, but not by much: the work takes a few hours for most joints, depending on how much old sealant has to come out. It’s far less disruption than resealing the same joint again and again. Private landlords in Nethercraigs must meet the Repairing Standard, and damp or leaks can fall short of it, so it’s worth fixing failed sealant before a tenant reports it.
Rather than a set price list, we price the job in front of us: the amount of work, the old material and the access. The price is agreed before we begin.
Why us?
- Quality sealants from Arbo and Everbuild
- Sealant colour chosen to suit
- Domestic, commercial and hotel work
- Old sealant always removed completely
How to look after the new joints
Simple care keeps the joints in good condition. Our advice:
- Never fill a movement joint with mortar or grout
- Have loose fittings fixed before resealing
- Find out why the sealant failed first
- Don’t wait for a small gap to become a leak
If we have found a cause, such as a loose tray or a leaking waste, get it fixed, because the new sealant can’t hold back a problem underneath.
If a joint has failed more than once, stop resealing it. Get the cause found first, otherwise the next attempt will fail too.
How the job changes by surface
Movement & expansion joints
Movement joints in floors, walls and façades need a flexible sealant set to the right depth. Failed sealant is cut out, backing rod or tape is fitted and the joint resealed with a low-modulus product.
Leaking trays & enclosures
Repeat shower leaks often come from a tray that flexes or an enclosure sealed in the wrong place. Both are checked before any new sealant goes on.
What we do, step by step
We work through the job in order: 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 we leave things clean and tidy. In a city area like Nethercraigs, parking may be by permit or pay-and-display, so tell us what’s nearby. If you’re in a flat, let us know how we get in at the street door.
- We start by checking the joint for movement, leaks and the reason it failed.
- All the old sealant comes out, including any layers underneath.
- The joint is cleaned, treated for mould and left to dry.
- We use the right backing and sealant for any joint that moves.
- The new joint is tooled neatly and we explain anything else we found.
Before we arrive
- Let us know about stairs, lifts or work at height
- Let us know about parking restrictions
- Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work
