DIY sealant or a professional job?
A DIY attempt does not rule out a professional job. We cut it out and start again, so just mention it when you contact us.
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, such as a straightforward joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
Remedial sealant in Newburgh, done properly
Two decades of sealant work means we recognise most failures quickly. We’re fully insured ARBOMaster approved applicators, and every remedial job comes with a 12-month guarantee. Typical jobs include gaps opening along the back of the worktop and floor or wall movement joints that have failed, on mouldy bath & shower sealant, expansion joints and leaking tray & enclosure joints.
A bathroom in a place like Newburgh 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.
Our work is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you are.

What remedial sealant looks like in Newburgh
Newburgh is within about 1 mile of 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. 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 does not dry out.
In and around Newburgh, as anywhere, good remedial sealant starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint.
Newburgh is about 12 miles north of Aberdeen, in Aberdeenshire. We carry out remedial sealant for homes and businesses in Newburgh and the surrounding area. Newburgh is one of 161 towns and villages in Aberdeenshire we cover for remedial sealant. There’s also a page for Aberdeen, roughly 12 miles from Newburgh.

Looking after it afterwards
Joint life depends on how it’s used and looked after. We suggest:
- Find out why the sealant failed first
- Report a tray that rocks or a worktop that lifts
- Don’t add new sealant on top of old
- Deal with small splits early
Give the new sealant its full cure time: generally around 24 hours, or as long as we advise.
Signs to act on: sealant lifting at the ends, a second bead visible on top of the first, black mould under the silicone, or stains below a bathroom. Any of them means it’s time for remedial work.

Can you match the sealant colour?
We help you choose a colour that suits, from white and clear to greys and other shades. The product needed can limit the range.
How long does the work take?
Longer than a simple reseal, because every layer has to come out. Most jobs take a few hours.

Can you do several jobs on one visit?
Yes. Just list everything you need.
What affects the cost of remedial sealant
The quote reflects the job in front of us. We look at:
- The number and length of the joints
- How many rooms, windows or areas are involved
- Access and height
- Mould in or behind the old joints
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 make a difference.
What to tell us for a quote
When you contact us, it’s useful to know:
- A few pictures by email, if you can
- Any previous sealing or DIY work
- What the problem is, such as mould, gaps, leaks or cracking
- Where the property is
For a quote, drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk with the location and a short description of the problem. You will have a clear quote before we start.

What we do, step by step
We work through the job in order: protection first, then preparation, sealing and a tidy-up. For most jobs that takes a few hours for most joints, depending on how much old sealant has to come out, and the area is left clean. Around Newburgh, distance and access matter more than parking. Let us know how to find you and how to reach the joints.
- First we find out how and where the joint has failed.
- All the old sealant comes out, including any layers underneath.
- The joint is cleaned, treated for mould and left to dry.
- Where the joint moves, backing and a flexible sealant suited to the movement go in.
- We tool the joint and tell you about anything else that needs attention.
Preparing for the visit
- Move anything stored near the joints
- Tell us about any water getting in
- Mention any tricky access

Signs you need remedial sealant in Newburgh
Joint depth matters. Sealant packed too deep, or stuck to the back of the joint as well as the sides, cannot stretch, and tears at the first real movement. Backing sets the depth and stops that.
It’s worth asking for a quote if you see:
- Worktop sealant that has shrunk and split
- Decorators’ caulk around a bath or shower
- Smears and lumps from a botched reseal
- Sealant applied over old sealant that has lifted
Whether the job is in Newburgh itself or nearby, the right material for each joint matters as much as a neat finish.

When something else is needed
We will always be straight with you, so here’s what sealant cannot fix:
- Old mastic in a building from before 2000 that should be checked for asbestos before it’s disturbed
- Cracks in the fitting rather than the joint
- Failed tanking or loose tiles behind the sealant
If in doubt, send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk and we’ll say what we think.

Surface by surface
Movement & expansion joints
Some movement joints have been filled with mortar or grout. We rake that out where it can be removed and seal with a flexible product.
Over-sealed & botched joints
Every layer has to come out, and silicone residue is cleaned off the tiles too. Only a clean joint will take a new bead.
