Tell us about tracks, gates, a ferry crossing or anything unusual about getting there.
- We protect the surfaces around the joint.
- The botched or failed sealant is cut away completely.
- The joint is degreased and checked for movement and leaks.
- Once dry, a suitable sealant is applied and tooled.

Advice
How we handle remedial sealant in Roslin
Water on the floor doesn’t always mean failed silicone. Cracked trays, leaking wastes and faulty valves often look like a sealant problem. If that is what we find, we’ll tell you rather than reseal something that will not fix it. If you have over-sealed joints coming away and dark patches showing through the sealant, we can put it right, on botched or over-sealed joints, mouldy bath & shower sealant and shrunken worktop sealant alike.
Bathrooms in smaller places like Roslin work just as hard as those in the cities. Limescale is less of a problem with Scotland’s generally soft water, but mould still takes hold in damp sealant and grout.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something is not right with it in that time, tell us and we’ll put it right.

Bathrooms and kitchens in Roslin
In Scotland, private landlords have to meet the Repairing Standard, which includes keeping fixtures and fittings in reasonable repair. Tired, leaking sealant is worth putting right before a new tenant moves in. Scotland’s water is generally soft, so sealant and grout see less limescale than in much of England. Mould is another matter: a bathroom that stays damp still turns sealant and grout black.
If you look after a building such as Lasswade High School Centre, its toilets, changing areas and kitchens need their sealant renewed like any other building’s.

Why it’s worth doing now in Roslin
Another bead over the top will not fix a failed joint. It can’t bond to what’s underneath, so the leak carries on and there’s now more to remove. Out of town in Scotland, exposed walls take a lot of weather, and once water gets behind a failed joint, damp in stone or harled walls is slow to dry out.
Commercial jobs are quoted on the same basis as homes: how much there is to do, how we reach it and what it needs. Call for a quick quote and we will go through it with you.

What affects the cost of remedial sealant
The price is agreed before any work begins. It takes into account:
- The size of the job
- Access and height
- The product the joint needs
- Whether there’s mould to deal with
Every job is a little different, so each one gets its own quote. The number of joints, how easy they are to reach and the sealant needed all make a difference.
What to tell us for a quote
A few details help us give you an accurate quote. When you ask for a quote, tell us:
- The type of property
- A few pictures by email, if you can
- How many joints, rooms or windows are involved
- Where the property is
A good description makes for an accurate quote. Tell us where the job is, what’s wrong and how much there is, and add photos by email if you can.
Aftercare tips
A little care helps the new joints last. We recommend:
- Keep an eye on the ceiling below the bathroom
- Air the bathroom so the sealant can dry
- Don’t point over movement joints
- Don’t add new sealant on top of old
If the joint ever needs renewing, have it cut out, not sealed over. New silicone doesn’t bond to old, so the old bead should always come out first.
Mould trapped under over-sealed joints spreads unseen. When it finally shows, the whole bead needs to come out.
FAQs for Roslin
Is Roslin in your area for remedial sealant?
Yes, Roslin is within the area we cover. We work across all of Scotland. You can drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk and let us know what needs doing.
Do you cover smaller places like Roslin?
Yes. Roslin is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. Our work covers the whole of Scotland. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
Does remedial work come with a guarantee?
Yes, for 12 months. Where we have flagged another fault, it needs fixing for the joint to last.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes, we can. More than one area can be quoted together.
Do you remove the old sealant?
Yes, every time. New sealant won’t bond properly to old, so any old material comes out before anything new goes in.
What happens if the problem is the tray or the plumbing?
That is why we look for the cause first. If the fault is elsewhere, you will know before any work is done.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. Full insurance covers our work, and we can confirm the details when we quote.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just make sure your landlord agrees.
What we’re called out for in Roslin
Products get mixed up: caulk where it gets wet, rigid sealant where things move, or an acetoxy silicone on a surface it can mark. None of them last.
Most people get in touch when they notice something like this:
- Gaps opening along the back of the worktop
- A second bead peeling off the first
- Beads that never stuck properly
- Products that weren’t meant for the joint
Rented homes near Eskbank station change hands often, and failed or mouldy sealant is worth putting right between tenancies, before it turns into a leak.

How the job changes by surface
Mouldy bath & shower sealant
Black mould inside the bead will not scrub out. The sealant is cut out completely, the joint treated with a mould remover and dried before anti-fungal sanitary silicone goes in.
Windows & doors
Wrong-coloured or messy mastic can be replaced for appearance too, matched to the frame colour.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Roslin
A neglected joint can let water reach the structure, which is a bigger problem in a rented property. Keeping joints in good order is simple maintenance that we can handle for you.
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 be quoted together.
