Remedial sealant for homes and businesses in Peel
Remedial work is what we do when sealant has failed or been done badly. New sealant over old, smeared beads, unsuitable products and hidden mould all have to come out before the joint can be done properly. We are often asked to deal with leaks that keep coming back after resealing and sealant applied over old sealant that has lifted, across shrunken worktop sealant, mouldy bath & shower sealant and failed movement joints.
For a place like Peel, the job is the same as anywhere: old material out, joints cleaned and dried, and a fresh, even finish. We just plan the journey and access beforehand.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard.

Can I do it myself?
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.
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.
Honest limits
Sealant is not the answer to every problem, and we will tell you before any work starts. It won’t solve:
- Failed tanking or loose tiles behind the sealant
- 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.
What we seal

Quotes for remedial sealant in Peel
We do not publish a price list, because jobs vary so much. What we look at:
- Whether there’s mould to deal with
- How easy the joints are to reach
- The number and length of the joints
- Which sealant suits the joint
What you pay reflects the work, not a rough estimate. That is why we ask a few questions first and agree the price before starting.
What to tell us for a quote
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote. When you get in contact, it helps to mention:
- How we’d reach the joints
- The address or postcode of the job
- The rough size of the job
- The type of property
Getting a quote is simple: let us know the job and the location. A few photos by email make the job easier to understand, and we’ll come back to you with a quote.
How it 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 a typical bath or shower, longer where several layers have been applied. Somewhere like Peel may be a longer drive, and the journey is planned ahead. Mention tracks, gates, ferries or anything else about the route.
- We protect the surfaces around the joint.
- Every layer of failed sealant is stripped out.
- We clean and degrease the joint and look for signs of movement or water.
- New sealant goes in once the joint is dry, and is tooled smooth.
- You get the cure time and our view on why the joint failed.
How to prepare
- Let us know if you’ve seen damp or leaks
- Keep children and pets away from the work area
- On commercial sites, let us know about site rules

Peel: your questions answered
Will you come out to Peel?
Yes. Peel is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. We work across all of Scotland. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
Can you do remedial sealant in Peel?
Yes, Peel is within the area we cover. We work across all of Scotland. Just email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk with a few details of the job, and we will give you a clear quote.
Are you insured?
Yes. We are fully insured for every job we do.
Do you offer different sealant colours?
Yes. Sealants come in white, clear, grey and other colours for many products, and we agree the colour with you before work begins.
Will it make a mess?
Not at all. The area is protected while we work and cleaned up afterwards.
Are you an approved applicator?
Yes. We’re ARBOMaster approved, the scheme for applicators of Arbo sealants.
Does someone need to be in?
That depends on where the joints are. Inside work needs someone to give us access, while outside work can sometimes be arranged differently.
How long does remedial resealing take?
It takes a few hours for a typical bath or shower, longer where several layers have been applied. You will know the timing when we quote.
What we’re called out for in Peel
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 will split a rigid or thin bead.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- Dark patches showing through the sealant
- Floor or wall movement joints that have failed
- Leaks that keep coming back after resealing
- Wide, uneven beads that look worse than the old ones
If you let a flat or house near Galashiels station, botched sealant from a previous quick fix is easier to strip out between tenants.

For landlords and businesses
We also work for businesses, from offices to washrooms and kitchens. On commercial sites, working times can be discussed when we quote.
Hotels need rooms back in use, so the work can be planned room by room around your bookings where we can. We have worked in hotels as well as homes and businesses.
Bathrooms and kitchens in Peel
Scottish Water supplies are generally soft, so limescale is less of a problem than in hard-water areas. Mould is another matter: a bathroom that stays damp still turns sealant and grout black. 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.
In and around Peel, as anywhere, good remedial sealant starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint.

Keeping the joints in good condition
How long the joints last depends on use and care. We suggest:
- Use a soft cloth, not a scourer, on silicone
- Do not point over movement joints
- Ask why a joint failed before redoing it
- Report a tray that rocks or a worktop that lifts
Where we have pointed out another fault, have it put right, because the new sealant can’t hold back a problem underneath.
Do not keep resealing the same joint. Have someone find out why, or the next bead will go the same way.
