Remedial sealant in Rattray
Getting old sealant out properly is slow, careful work. We cut out every layer, clear the residue and degrease the surfaces, taking care not to scratch the surfaces around it. Only then can new sealant bond. Typical jobs include dark patches showing through the sealant and beads that never stuck properly, on leaking tray & enclosure joints, mouldy bath & shower sealant and failed movement joints.
For a place like Rattray, the job is the same as anywhere: old material out, joints cleaned and dried, and a fresh, even finish. The journey and access are simply planned in advance.
Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee in Rattray and across Perth and Kinross.

What sealant work can’t fix
New sealant cannot fix everything, and we’d rather say so up front. Sealant won’t put right:
- Water damage behind tiles that needs a tiler
- A bath, tray or worktop that moves until it’s properly fixed
- Older mastics that may need an asbestos check before removal
Not sure which it is? You can email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk and we’ll tell you honestly.

What remedial sealant looks like in Rattray
In Scotland, private landlords have to meet the Repairing Standard, which covers keeping fixtures and fittings in a reasonable state of repair. Tired, leaking sealant is worth putting right before a new tenant moves in. 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.
Homes close to Parish Church include some older properties, and bathrooms in older houses have often been refitted more than once, with sealant laid over sealant. For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Blairgowrie High School, washroom and kitchen sealant there needs the same care as at home, and schools and businesses are part of our work as well as homes.

Why it’s worth doing now in Rattray
Another bead over the top won’t fix a failed joint. It doesn’t grip the old layer, leaving the leak in place and one more layer to cut out later. Around Rattray, water from a failed joint in an older stone home can soak into timber and plaster.
What you pay reflects the work, not a rough estimate. That is why we ask a few questions first.

Can you do several jobs on one visit?
Yes. Tell us about everything you’d like done and we’ll quote it together.
What do you put in the joint?
Products from Arbo and Everbuild, among others, chosen to suit the joint. We’ll tell you what we are using and why.
Where do you work from?
Mr Mastic is based in Crawley. We cover Rattray and the rest of Perth and Kinross, along with the rest of our area.
How long before the joint can be used?
That depends on the sealant used, so follow the cure time we give you when we finish.
Keeping the joints in good condition
How long the joints last depends on use and care. Here’s what we suggest:
- Do not point over movement joints
- Air the bathroom so the sealant can dry
- Ask why a joint failed before redoing it
- Check ceilings under showers for marks
Keep the room ventilated: use the extractor or open a window after showering.
A split movement joint lets rain into walls and floors, and the longer it’s left, the more the joint edges break down. A joint with sound edges is far easier to reseal.
DIY sealant or a professional job?
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. Silicone does not stick to old silicone, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. Everything old must be removed first.
Some jobs are best left to a professional: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas need the right product, the right access and the right method.
