- Over-sealed joints coming away
- Floor or wall movement joints that have failed
- Dark patches showing through the sealant
Should I try it myself first?
A DIY attempt doesn’t rule out a professional job. We remove it and do the joint properly.
Not every job suits DIY: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas need the right product, the right access and the right method.
Remedial sealant in Pitcalnie, done properly
In Pitcalnie, as anywhere, remedial jobs tend to look alike: over-sealed joints, hidden mould, repeat leaks and split movement joints. We strip each one back and start from scratch. Common call-outs are for sealant applied over old sealant that has lifted and floor or wall movement joints that have failed, on shrunken worktop sealant, mouldy bath & shower sealant and botched or over-sealed joints.
In and around a place like Pitcalnie, homes range from older stone-built properties to newer houses. Where a building moves, cracked grout and split sealant are normally the first signs.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something isn’t right with it in that time, tell us and we will put it right.

How to look after the new joints
Aftercare is simple:
- Run the fan after every shower
- Keep an eye on the ceiling below the bathroom
- Get the cause of a repeat leak found before resealing
- Always have old sealant cut out, not covered
Give the new sealant its full cure time: follow the cure time we give you.
A split movement joint lets rain into walls and floors, and left long enough, the edges of the joint can crumble. Resealing while the edges are sound is simpler.
Common questions in Pitcalnie
Do you cover Pitcalnie for remedial sealant?
Yes, Pitcalnie is within the area we cover. Our work covers the whole of Scotland. You can email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk and tell us what needs doing.
I let a flat near Fearn station. Can you help?

Where is Mr Mastic based?

Can I add another job to the visit?
Of course. Doing several areas at once is generally more efficient.
Can you fix a reseal that hasn’t worked?
Yes. Repeat leaks generally come from over-sealing, movement or water getting in elsewhere, so we find that first.
Will you leave a mess?
Very little: the area around the joints is protected first, and we tidy up before we go.

How the visit works
Before we leave, we go over the finished joints with you and explain the cure time. The visit itself generally takes a few hours for most joints, depending on how much old sealant has to come out, depending on the size of the job. Around Pitcalnie, distance and access matter more than parking. Tell us how to find the property and how to reach the work.
- The failure is looked at first, so we know whether it’s sealant, movement or water from elsewhere.
- Each layer is cut out and the residue cleaned off.
- We treat any mould and dry the joint thoroughly.
- The right product goes in, with backing where the joint moves.
- The joint is tooled and you are told about anything else we found.
Preparing for the visit
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children
- For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can
- Let us know about stairs, lifts or work at height

What affects the cost of remedial sealant
Jobs vary more than people expect. The main factors:
- The type of sealant required
- The old material and how stubborn it is
- How many rooms, windows or areas are involved
- How easy the joints are to reach
No two jobs are quite the same, so we quote each one individually. Size, access and the product the joint needs all play a part, and we will explain the quote if you ask.
Helping us quote
To make quoting easier, let us know:
- The problem you’ve noticed
- Photos by email, if that’s easy
- If it’s domestic, commercial or a hotel
- Where the job is, and your postcode
The more we know about the job, the more useful the quote. Let us know the location, the problem and roughly how many joints.
When to call us in Pitcalnie
Even good sealant ages. Mould grows into the silicone, the surface hardens and the bead shrinks, faster where ventilation is poor. At that point it has to come out.
Look out for any of the following:
- Wide, uneven beads that look worse than the old ones
- Worktop sealant that has shrunk and split
- Sealant applied over old sealant that has lifted
- A shower that leaks however often it’s resealed
For landlords with property near Fearn station, botched sealant from a previous quick fix is easier to strip out between tenants.
What to look for in a quote

- Whether the sealant suits the joint
- Whether they’re fully insured
- Is VAT in the price?
