Bathrooms and kitchens in Newmachar
Aberdeen is known for its granite tenements, where, as in any flat, a failed seal can reach the flat below. Private landlords in Scotland must be registered and meet the Repairing Standard, which includes keeping fixtures and fittings in reasonable repair. Tired, leaking sealant is worth putting right before a new tenant moves in.
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as New Machar Primary School, we reseal washrooms and kitchens in schools and businesses as well as homes. Rented homes near Dyce station change hands often, and botched sealant from a previous quick fix is easier to strip out between tenants.

How we handle remedial sealant in Newmachar
Water on the floor does not always mean failed silicone. A cracked tray, a failed shower valve or a leaking waste can look just the same. If that is what we find, we’ll tell you rather than reseal something that will not fix it. Typical jobs include sealant applied over old sealant that has lifted and wide, uneven beads that look worse than the old ones, on leaking tray & enclosure joints, botched or over-sealed joints and shrunken worktop sealant.
For a place like Newmachar, the job is the same as anywhere: everything old is cut out, the joints are cleaned and dried, and new sealant or grout goes in. The journey and access are simply planned in advance.
You are covered for a year from the day we finish. If there’s a problem with it, please send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk.

Common problems we fix in Newmachar
Movement tears sealant that isn’t designed for it. A bath that flexes, a tray that rocks or a building joint that opens and closes split any bead that is too stiff or too thin.
The most common problems we see are:
- Smears and lumps from a botched reseal
- Products that weren’t meant for the joint
- Worktop sealant that has shrunk and split
- A shower that leaks however often it’s resealed
In the older streets around Newmachar Church, bathrooms in older houses have often been refitted more than once, with sealant laid over sealant.

Newmachar questions
Is Newmachar within the area you cover?
Yes, we do. We work across all of Scotland, and smaller places are part of that. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
Is Newmachar in your area for remedial sealant?
Yes, Newmachar is within the area we cover. We work across all of Scotland. You can send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk and let us know what needs doing, and we will send you a clear quote.
Are you insured?
Yes. Full insurance covers our work.
What does remedial sealant cost?
It depends on the job, so we quote each one individually. To get one, drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk with a short description of the job.
What if resealing will not fix my leak?
We check for that before we reseal. If we find the leak is elsewhere, we tell you before going further.
Will you leave a mess?
Not at all. The area is protected while we work and cleaned up afterwards.
Can I do it myself?
It depends on the job. Work at height, movement joints, fire-rated gaps and large areas are best left to a professional, while a short indoor joint may be within reach.
Can landlords and businesses book you?
Yes. Domestic, commercial and hotel work are all part of what we do.
When it isn’t the sealant
We’d rather tell you now than do work that will not last, so here’s what sealant can’t put right:
- Plumbing leaks behind walls or under trays
- A cracked shower tray or bath (that needs repair or replacing)
- Sealant in an older building that needs testing for asbestos first
If in doubt, send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk and we’ll say what we think before booking.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Newmachar
Hotels need rooms back in use, so the work can be planned room by room. We’ve worked in hotels as well as homes and businesses.
Failed sealant is one of the commonest items on a check-out report, and it’s easy to sort out between tenants. Several properties can be quoted together.
Leave it or put it right?
Leaks that are left keep doing damage out of sight: soaked floorboards, ceiling stains below and blown plaster. Dealing with the joint now is a small job by comparison. Around Newmachar, water from a failed joint in an older stone home can soak into timber and plaster.
Every job is a little different, so we quote each one individually. The number of joints, how easy they are to reach and the sealant needed all make a difference, and we will explain the quote if you ask.

Looking after it afterwards
Good habits help new joints last longer. A few tips:
- Run the fan after every shower
- Use a soft cloth, not a scourer, on silicone
- Never seal over old silicone
- Deal with small splits early
Clean gently: no scraping, scouring pads or harsh chemicals.
A failing joint rarely gets better on its own. Each use pushes more water behind the bead, into whatever is behind or below. Early action keeps it to a sealant job.
How the visit works
On the day, we start by going over the job with you, so there are no surprises. We protect the surfaces around the joints before work begins. Most jobs take a few hours for a typical bath or shower, longer where several layers have been applied. Outside jobs in Newmachar need a dry day, because sealant won’t bond to a wet joint, so an outdoor job can move if the forecast changes. Work indoors isn’t affected.
- 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.
- The joint is tooled and you’re told about anything else we found.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints
- Mention any sign-in or site rules at work premises
- Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed
