- Black mould underneath the bead
- Decorators’ caulk around a bath or shower
- Sealant peeling off a dusty or damp surface
Aftercare tips
How long the joints last depends on use and care. Here’s what we suggest:
- Check trays and worktops do not move
- Look for stains below bathrooms now and then
- Air the bathroom so the sealant can dry
- Keep bleach and abrasives off the bead
If we’ve found a cause, such as a loose tray or a leaking waste, get it fixed, or the new joint may fail again.
Leaks through failed sealant grow over time. Each use pushes more water behind the bead, into floors, walls or ceilings. Early action keeps it to a sealant job.
Remedial sealant in Ochiltree
Remedial jobs in Ochiltree normally fall into a few patterns: sealant over sealant, mould under the bead, leaks that come back and movement joints that have split. We strip each one back and start from scratch. If you have torn expansion joints and leaks that keep coming back after resealing, we can help, on botched or over-sealed joints, shrunken worktop sealant and expansion joints alike.
Bathrooms in smaller places like Ochiltree work just as hard as those in the cities. Limescale is less of a problem with Scotland’s generally soft water, but mould still takes hold in damp sealant and grout.
You’re covered for a year from the day we finish. If there’s a problem with it, please email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk.

Questions from Ochiltree
Can you do remedial sealant in Ochiltree?
Yes, Ochiltree is within the area we cover. Our work covers the whole of Scotland. You can drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk and let us know what needs doing, and we will give you a clear price.
Do you cover smaller places like Ochiltree?
Yes. Ochiltree is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. Our work covers the whole of Scotland. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.

It depends on the product. Some products have a noticeable smell, others very little, and any smell fades as they cure.

Do you work for letting agents?
Yes, often. We can quote for several properties at once, and between tenancies is a good time for the work.
Can failed expansion joints be resealed?
Yes. The depth is set with backing so the sealant only bonds to the two sides, which lets it stretch.
Is it messy?
Tidy work is part of the job. Nearby surfaces are protected, and the area is left clean when we finish.
Do I have to be there?
It depends on the job. For work indoors, someone needs to let us in, and for outside work we’ll agree access with you when we book.

What remedial sealant looks like in Ochiltree
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 does not dry out.
Homes close to Ochiltree Parish Church include some older properties, and bathrooms in older houses have often been refitted more than once, with sealant laid over sealant. For landlords with property near Auchinleck station, a joint that keeps failing is best fixed properly while the property is empty.

Should I try it myself first?
Not every job suits DIY: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. Silicone doesn’t stick to old silicone, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. All the old material has to come out first.
How we quote for remedial sealant
Call for a quick quote. The main things that affect it are:
- How many areas need sealing
- Any working-time requirements on site
- Any mould that needs treating
- How easy the joints are to reach
Rather than a set price list, 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 we need to know
To help us quote quickly, let us know:
- Whether it has been sealed before
- How many joints, rooms or windows are involved
- What the problem is, such as mould, gaps, leaks or cracking
- Where the property is
There’s no standard price list, because every job is different. Instead, your job gets its own clear quote. To get started, send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk.
How the visit works
Every visit runs the same way: we check the joints, protect the area around them, do the work and clear up. Most jobs take a few hours for most joints, depending on how much old sealant has to come out. Outside jobs in Ochiltree need a dry day, because sealant won’t bond to a wet joint, so an outdoor job can move if the forecast changes. Indoor work goes ahead whatever the weather.
- We start by checking the joint for movement, leaks and the reason it failed.
- Every layer of old sealant is cut and cleaned out.
- Next, any mould is treated and the joint dried.
- Where the joint moves, backing and a flexible sealant suited to the movement go in.
- Finally we finish the joint and talk you through what we found.
Before we arrive
- Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed
- Tell us about any previous sealing or DIY attempts
- Clear the area around the work

Advice
What we cannot put right
It helps to know what we cannot do too:
- Tiles that have come away from the wall
- A cracked shower tray or bath (that needs repair or replacing)
- Plumbing leaks behind walls or under trays
If in doubt, send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk and we’ll say what we think before booking.
Joints and surfaces we work on
- Failed movement joints
- Shrunken worktop sealant
- Mouldy bath & shower sealant
- Botched or over-sealed joints
- Leaking tray & enclosure joints
- Expansion joints
How the job changes by surface
Over-sealed & botched joints
A botched joint can hide two or three layers of sealant, and silicone residue is cleaned off the tiles too. New sealant needs a fully clean 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.
