About our remedial sealant in Polmont
A movement joint stops working when its sealant splits or sets hard. The old sealant comes out and backing goes in to control the depth, before resealing with a flexible product suited to the movement. We work on botched or over-sealed joints, expansion joints and mouldy bath & shower sealant, and common reasons people get in touch are decorators’ caulk around a bath or shower and kitchen joints letting water behind the worktop.
For a place like Polmont, the job is the same as anywhere: 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.
Every job comes with a one-year guarantee.

The cost reflects the work involved, not a rough estimate. That is why we ask a few questions first.

FAQs for Polmont
Do you work in hotels near Polmont?
Yes. Hotel and guest-house work is part of what we do. Jobs can be programmed room by room, with out-of-hours working possible to arrange.
Is Polmont within the area you cover?
Yes, we do. We work across all of Scotland, and smaller places are part of that. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
Can you fix a reseal that hasn’t worked?
Yes. Repeat leaks normally come from over-sealing, movement or water getting in elsewhere, and we deal with the cause first.
Do the sealants smell?
Some sealants have a smell while they cure, which fades as it sets. Ventilation helps.
Can you strip sealant from an acrylic tray safely?
Yes. Residue is removed with a product suited to the surface rather than scraped hard, so the new sealant bonds cleanly.
Do you remove the old sealant?
Yes. Sealing over old sealant is the main reason resealing fails early, so we never do it.
Should I try DIY first?
Sometimes. Preparation is everything: all the old sealant out, and a clean, dry joint. If it doesn’t work out, we can redo it.
Where are you based?
We work from Crawley. Our applicators cover Polmont, along with the rest of our area.
What happens on the day
There’s no need to move everything out before we come, just the space around the work. We protect the rest, and the job takes a few hours for a typical bath or shower, longer where several layers have been applied for a typical job. Outdoor work around Polmont depends on the weather, as sealant needs a dry surface, so external jobs may need to move if the day turns wet. Indoor work goes ahead whatever the weather.
- Surrounding tiles, trays and frames are protected first.
- The botched or failed sealant is cut away completely.
- 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.
- We give you the cure time and explain what caused the failure.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know about stairs, lifts or work at height
- Clear the area around the work
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children

Advice
What the job involves on each surface
Windows & doors
Failed frame mastic is often hard, cracked and in several layers. All of it is cut out and the frame and wall cleaned before backing and resealing.
Leaking trays & enclosures
A shower that leaks after resealing often has a tray that moves or an enclosure sealed on the wrong side. We check both before we reseal.
Leave it or put it right?
Adding more sealant is the usual quick fix, and it rarely works. It doesn’t grip the old layer, leaving the leak in place and one more layer to cut out later. When the nearest tradesperson is a drive away, it’s tempting to leave a small leak, but water behind a failed seal does the most damage when nobody’s watching.
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. The price is agreed before we begin.

What else we do in Polmont
For landlords and businesses
For anyone letting property in or around Polmont, jobs at different addresses can be quoted together. Send us the addresses and the work at each, and photos by email help.
Mouldy or split sealant often shows up at the end of a tenancy, and it’s quick to put right between tenancies. Several properties can go on one quote.
How to look after the new joints
Looking after new joints is easy:
- Check trays and worktops don’t move
- Use a soft cloth, not a scourer, on silicone
- Keep the room well ventilated
- Check ceilings under showers for marks
Where we’ve pointed out another fault, have it put right, because the new sealant can’t hold back a problem underneath.
If a joint has failed more than once, stop resealing it. Have someone find out why, or the next bead will go the same way.
When something else is needed
It helps to know what we cannot do:
- A tray or bath that’s cracked
- Failed tanking or loose tiles behind the sealant
- Leaks from a shower valve, waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
If in doubt, send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk and we’ll say what we think.

Remedial sealant around Polmont
Polmont is within about 3 miles of the coast. Near the coast, holiday lets and guest houses can see bathrooms used by one guest after another, which wears sealant and grout out faster than in a quiet home. 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.
