Removing failed, mouldy or leaking sealant and putting it right in Old Blair, with a 12-month guarantee on every job. Call for a quick quote.
- Decorators’ caulk around a bath or shower
- Wide, uneven beads that look worse than the old ones
- Sealant applied over old sealant that has lifted
Different surfaces, different methods
Mouldy bath & shower sealant
Mould often spreads under the bead as well as through it. We treat the exposed joint once the bead is out.
Windows & doors
Frames resealed over the top end up with hard, layered mastic. All of it is cut out and the frame and wall cleaned before backing and resealing.
Remedial sealant in Old Blair
Two decades of sealant work means we recognise most failures quickly. We’re fully insured ARBOMaster approved applicators, and remedial work carries our 12-month guarantee. If you’re dealing with floor or wall movement joints that have failed and smears and lumps from a botched reseal, we can put it right.
Across smaller places in Scotland, homes range from stone and harled cottages to newer houses. Where a building moves, cracked grout and split sealant are normally the first signs.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

What affects the quote in Old Blair
Every job gets its own quote. These are the things that affect it:
- Any working-time requirements on site
- How much old sealant there is and how hard it is to remove
- Whether the work is at height
- Whether there’s mould to deal with
Every job is a little different, so we quote each one individually. Size, access and the product the joint needs all play a part.
What we need to know
To make quoting easier, please include:
- Access, such as stairs, a lift or height
- Photos by email, if that’s easy
- Whether it has been sealed before
- Where the job is, and your postcode
We quote each job on its own, so start by telling us what you need. Just drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk with the details and send photos if you have them.

Advice
Can I do it myself?
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is.
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and doesn’t move well, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.
Old Blair: your questions answered
Is Old Blair within the area you cover?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. We work across all of Scotland. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Blair Atholl station?
Yes, we work for landlords and agents. 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.
Can you quote for more than one area?
Yes. Tell us about everything you’d like done and you will get one quote.
My shower still leaks after a reseal. Can you sort it?
Yes, generally. We check it’s the sealant and not the tray, valve or waste, then strip and reseal the joints.
Do you have insurance?
Yes. We’re fully insured, and we can confirm the details when we quote.
How long does the work take?
The number of joints and layers decides it. You’ll have a timescale before any work begins.
Will there be a smell?
It depends on the product. Some smell for a while, some hardly at all.
Can you match the sealant colour?
Yes. Sealants come in white, clear, grey and other colours, and we agree the colour with you before we start.
Old Blair homes and their sealant
In Scotland, private landlords have to meet the Repairing Standard, which covers keeping fixtures and fittings in a reasonable state of 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.
Around Old Blair, as everywhere, remedial sealant is only as good as the preparation behind it.

Looking after it afterwards
Once the sealant has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Report a tray that rocks or a worktop that lifts
- Don’t add new sealant on top of old
- Keep the room well ventilated
- Clean sealant with mild products only
Do not let anyone seal over it later. Over-sealing is how many remedial jobs start.
If a joint has failed more than once, stop resealing it. Get the cause found first, otherwise the next attempt will fail too.
Leave it or put it right?
A joint that has failed twice will fail again unless the cause is dealt with. Taking time to find the cause, whether it’s movement, a leak or the wrong product, is what stops it happening again. When the nearest tradesperson is a drive away, it’s tempting to leave a small leak, but water through a failed joint keeps working away until it’s fixed.
What it costs depends on how much there is to do, how hard the old material is to remove and how easy the joints are to reach. You will have a clear quote before any work starts.

Common problems we fix in Old Blair
Some joints fail because water is reaching them from behind. A leaking valve, a failed waste or cracked grout feeds water behind the bead, and the sealant lifts or goes mouldy from underneath.
People usually contact us when they notice one of these:
- Repeat leaks from the same joint
- Dark patches showing through the sealant
- Torn expansion joints
- Wide, uneven beads that look worse than the old ones
If you let a flat or house near Blair Atholl station, failed or mouldy sealant is worth putting right between tenancies, before it turns into a leak.
