How we handle remedial sealant in North Berwick
Water on the floor does not always mean failed silicone. Cracked trays, leaking wastes and faulty valves often look like a sealant problem. If that’s what we find, we will tell you rather than reseal something that will not fix it. If you are dealing with sealant applied over old sealant that has lifted and floor or wall movement joints that have failed, we can help, whatever the surface.
Being further from a city does not change the work: 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.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

When to call us in North Berwick
Even good sealant ages. Over the years it shrinks, hardens and gets colonised by mould. Then the only fix is removal and a new bead.
People usually contact us after spotting one of these:
- A second bead peeling off the first
- Black mould underneath the bead
- Movement joints that have split or pulled away
- Products that weren’t meant for the joint
Rented homes near North Berwick station change hands often, and failed or mouldy sealant is worth putting right between tenancies, before it turns into a leak.

DIY versus a professional finish
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions.
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
Work for landlords, hotels and businesses
Housing providers, facilities teams and property managers book us too. We can quote a run of properties together.
If you manage several properties in or around North Berwick, several properties can be quoted together. Send us the addresses and the work at each.
How it works
A visit follows a simple pattern: we check the joints, protect the area around them, do the work and tidy away. Most jobs take a few hours for a typical bath or shower, longer where several layers have been applied. Outside jobs in North Berwick need a dry day, because sealant will not bond to a wet joint, so external jobs may need to move if the day turns wet. Indoor work goes ahead whatever the weather.
- We look at how the sealant has failed and check for movement or a leak path.
- 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.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed
- Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive

Worktops & kitchens
Shrunken worktop sealant leaves a gap that lets water into the back edge. It’s cut out, degreased and resealed in a colour to suit.
Mouldy bath & shower sealant
Where mould keeps coming back, ventilation is generally part of the cause. We will reseal and tell you if extraction looks to be the issue.
Questions from North Berwick
Do you work for hotels and guest houses in North Berwick?
Yes. Hotel and guest-house work is part of what we do. Work can be planned room by room, and out-of-hours working can be arranged.
Do you work for landlords with property near North Berwick station?
Yes. We work for landlords and agents as well as householders, and several properties can go on one quote. You can email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk with the details for a clear quote.
Can I choose the sealant colour?
Generally, yes. White, clear and grey are common, and other colours are available, and we agree the colour with you before any work starts.
What if the leak isn’t the sealant?
We check for that before we reseal. If we find the leak is elsewhere, we tell you before going further.
What should I tell you?
A short description and the location, plus pictures if you have them. We’ll ask anything else we need to know.
Can you take off two layers of silicone?
Yes. Each layer is cut out and the residue cleaned off, before resealing with a single bead.
Do I have to be there?
If the work is inside, we need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Can you do several jobs on one visit?
Yes. Just list everything you need and we’ll quote it together.
Leave it or put it right?
Adding more sealant is the usual quick fix, and it rarely works. It does not grip the old layer, leaving the leak in place and one more layer to cut out later. Around North Berwick, water from a failed joint in an older stone home can soak into timber and plaster.
Instead of a standard rate, we price the job in front of us: the amount of work, the old material and the access. You will know the price before we begin.

Aftercare tips
So the new joints stay in good condition:
- Run the fan after every shower
- Clean sealant with mild products only
- Always have old sealant cut out, not covered
- Ask why a joint failed before redoing it
Where we’ve pointed out another fault, have it put right, or the new joint may fail again.
Movement joints that have split let water into the structure, and the longer it’s left, the more the joint edges break down. A joint with sound edges is far easier to reseal.
