How we handle remedial sealant in Riverside of Blairs
Movement and expansion joints fail when the sealant can’t stretch. We cut out the failed sealant and set the depth with backing, then a flexible sealant matched to the movement goes in. We work on mouldy bath & shower sealant, leaking tray & enclosure joints and expansion joints, and people most often call us about sealant that came away because the surface wasn’t prepared and leaks that keep coming back after resealing.
In and around a place like Riverside of Blairs, homes range from older stone-built properties to newer houses. Older buildings can move a little, and that shows first in cracked grout and split sealant.
Your job is guaranteed for a year, as with all our work.

How the visit works
There isn’t much for you to do on the day. Point us to the joints and we will get on with it. The work itself takes a few hours, depending on how many layers have to come out. In smaller Scottish places, parking is normally less of an issue than access and distance. Tell us how to find the property and how to reach the work.
- First we work out whether the problem is the sealant, movement or a leak.
- Old beads and residue are removed down to clean surfaces.
- Mould is treated and the joint dried.
- We reseal with a product suited to the joint, backed where needed.
- We finish neatly and point out anything that needs another trade.
How to prepare
- Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work
- Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints
- Let us know about parking restrictions

Riverside of Blairs homes and their sealant
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 does not dry out. Aberdeen, the Granite City, has plenty of granite tenements, where, as in any flat, a failed seal can reach the flat below.
If you let a flat or house near Portlethen station, failed or mouldy sealant is worth putting right between tenancies, before it turns into a leak. In the older streets around Cults West Parish Church, timber floors under older bathrooms flex, so joints need a sealant that moves with them.

What happens if it’s left?
A joint that has failed twice will fail again unless the cause is dealt with. Finding it, whether movement, water from elsewhere or an unsuitable product, ends the cycle. When the nearest tradesperson is a drive away, it’s tempting to leave a small leak, but water through a failed joint keeps working away until it’s fixed.
Instead of a standard rate, we look at what your job involves: the amount of work, the old material and the access. You’ll know the price before we begin.

Surface by surface
Worktops & kitchens
Old kitchen sealant pulls back from the wall over time. We strip it, degrease the joint and reseal colour-matched to the worktop.
Leaking trays & enclosures
A cracked tray, failed valve or leaking waste needs a different fix. We’ll tell you what we find.
For landlords and businesses
Housing providers, facilities teams and property managers book us too. Several sites can be quoted together, and we are fully insured for the work.
A neglected joint can let water reach the structure, which is a bigger problem in a rented property. Resealing at the right time is simple maintenance.
Your questions about remedial sealant in Riverside of Blairs
Do you cover smaller places like Riverside of Blairs?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Our work covers the whole of Scotland. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Do you work for landlords with property near Portlethen station?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for, and several properties can be quoted together. You can drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk with the details for a clear quote.
Will the old sealant be removed?
Always. Sealing over old sealant is the main reason resealing fails early, so we never do it.
Can I choose the sealant colour?
We help you choose a colour that suits, from white and clear to greys and other shades. The product needed can limit the range.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. Full insurance covers our work.
Do the sealants smell?
Some sealants have a smell while they cure, which fades as it sets. Opening a window helps.
Are you an approved applicator?
Yes. We’re an ARBOMaster approved applicator, the approved applicator scheme for Arbo sealants.
My shower still leaks after a reseal. Can you sort it?
Yes. We check it’s the sealant and not the tray, valve or waste, then the joints are stripped and resealed.
When it isn’t the sealant
Honest advice matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what new sealant won’t do:
- Cracks in the fitting rather than the joint
- A tray or worktop that needs refixing first
- Old mastic in a building from before 2000 that should be checked for asbestos before it’s disturbed
Not sure which it is? You can drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk and we’ll tell you honestly.

What we are called out for in Riverside of Blairs
A lot of failed joints have been sealed over rather than replaced. Silicone doesn’t bond to silicone, so the new layer peels, and damp and mould settle between them.
The most common problems we see are:
- Leaks that keep coming back after resealing
- Torn expansion joints
- Dark patches showing through the sealant
- Sealant applied over old sealant that has lifted
If you look after a building such as Cults Academy, its toilets, changing areas and kitchens need their sealant renewed like any other building’s.

- What the quote includes, VAT included or not
- How long the guarantee is
- When the joint can take water or movement
Keeping the joints in good condition
Once the sealant has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Run the fan after every shower
- Report a tray that rocks or a worktop that lifts
- Deal with small splits early
- Use a soft cloth, not a scourer, on silicone
Leave the new joint to cure fully before it gets wet or moves: follow the cure time we give you.
Do not keep resealing the same joint. Have someone find out why, or the next bead will go the same way.
