- Over-sealed joints coming away
How it works
When we get to you, we check the joints match what you told us. If anything is different, we explain it before carrying on. Most jobs then take a few hours for most joints, depending on how much old sealant has to come out. In smaller Scottish places, parking is usually less of an issue than access and distance. Let us know how to find you and how to reach the joints.
- The failure is looked at first, so we know whether it’s sealant, movement or water from elsewhere.
- Old beads and residue are removed down to clean surfaces.
- Mould is treated and the joint dried.
- The right product goes in, with backing where the joint moves.
- The joint is tooled and you’re told about anything else we found.
How to prepare
- Tell us if parking is tricky
- Mention any tricky access
- For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can
How to get a quote
It all starts with a short chat. Describe the problem, the location and the size of the job, and we will explain how we’d tackle it. When it suits you, drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk.

About our remedial sealant in Red Craig
Movement and expansion joints fail when the sealant cannot stretch. We cut out the failed sealant and set the depth with backing, before resealing with a flexible product suited to the movement. If you have wide, uneven beads that look worse than the old ones and over-sealed joints coming away, we can put it right.
Bathrooms in smaller places like Red Craig work just as hard as those in the cities. Generally soft Scottish water means less limescale, but steam still lets mould into sealant and grout.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you’re covered after we’ve gone.

Looking after it afterwards
Once the sealant has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Deal with small splits early
- Have loose fittings fixed before resealing
- Keep an eye on the ceiling below the bathroom
- Clean sealant with mild products only
Give the new sealant its full cure time: follow the cure time we give you.
Signs to act on: sealant lifting at the ends, a second bead visible on top of the first, black mould under the silicone, or stains below a bathroom. Any of them means it’s time for remedial work.
Bathrooms and kitchens in Red Craig
Red Craig 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, and sealant and grout that work that hard wear out sooner. Scotland’s water is generally soft, so sealant and grout see less limescale than in much of England. But mould still grows into sealant and grout in a room that doesn’t dry out.
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Forres Academy, we reseal washrooms and kitchens in schools and businesses as well as homes. Letting a property close to Forres station? Then botched sealant from a previous quick fix is easier to strip out between tenants.

Near you in Red Craig
Typical jobs here are in homes near Roysvale Park and the streets around them. The nearest railway station is Forres station, roughly 1.4 miles north-east of the centre.

Can I do it myself?
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. New silicone will not bond to old, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. All the old material has to come out first.
A DIY attempt does not rule out a professional job. We cut it out and start again, so tell us about it when you ask for a quote.

What information do you need?

Where are you based?

Why deal with it now?
Adding more sealant is the usual quick fix, and it rarely works. It does not grip the old layer, leaving the leak in place and one more layer to cut out later. Around Red Craig, water from a failed joint in an older stone home can soak into timber and plaster, which is a far bigger job than the sealant.
Doing several joints on one visit is normally more efficient than separate visits, so it’s worth mentioning everything you’d like done. We’ll give you a clear quote for the lot.

Surface by surface
Leaking trays & enclosures
If the tray is cracked, or the leak is from the valve or waste, sealant won’t fix it. We say so rather than reseal.
Over-sealed & botched joints
Every layer has to come out, and silicone residue is cleaned off the tiles too. Only a clean joint will take a new bead.
How we quote for remedial sealant
We quote each job individually. These are the things that affect it:
- Whether the work is at height
- The amount of work
- The product the joint needs
- The number of rooms or windows
No two jobs are quite the same, so each one gets its own quote. Size, access and the product the joint needs all play a part, and we’ll explain the quote if you ask.

A few details help us give you an accurate quote. When you ask for a quote, tell us:
- How we’d reach the joints

- A few pictures by email, if you can
