About our remedial sealant in Scone
Water on the floor does not always mean failed silicone. A cracked tray, a failed shower valve or a leaking waste can look just the same. When the fault is elsewhere, we say so instead of resealing for the sake of it. We work on expansion joints, failed movement joints and leaking tray & enclosure joints, and people most often call us about kitchen joints letting water behind the worktop and black mould underneath the bead.
For a place like Scone, the job is the same as anywhere: old material out, joints cleaned and dried, and a fresh, even finish. We just plan the journey and access beforehand.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee.

Different surfaces, different methods
Mouldy bath & shower sealant
Mould often spreads under the bead as well as through it. We treat the exposed joint once the bead is out so the new sealant starts clean.
Windows & doors
Frames resealed over the top end up with hard, layered mastic. All of it is cut out and the frame and wall cleaned before backing and resealing.
What affects the cost of remedial sealant
For a quick quote, just ask. The main things that affect it are:
- How many rooms, windows or areas are involved
- Working hours on commercial sites
- The type of sealant required
- Any mould that needs treating
Combining jobs into one visit is usually more efficient than separate visits. You’ll get one clear quote for the whole job.

Keeping the joints in good condition
After the cure time, these simple habits help:
- Ask why a joint failed before redoing it
- Keep the room well ventilated
- Do not wait for a small gap to become a leak
- Check ceilings under showers for marks
Do not let anyone seal over it later. Over-sealing is how many remedial jobs start, so the old bead should always come out first.
Mould under a second layer of sealant keeps growing out of sight. By the time it shows through, the joint is well past saving.
Scone homes and their sealant
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. But mould still grows into sealant and grout in a room that doesn’t dry out.
Around Scone, as everywhere, remedial sealant is only as good as the preparation behind it. For landlords with property near Perth station, failed or mouldy sealant is worth putting right between tenancies, before it turns into a leak.
Scone is about 2 miles north-east of Perth, in Perth and Kinross. We carry out remedial sealant for householders, landlords and businesses in Scone and nearby.

Local landmarks in Scone

Should I try it myself first?
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions, then guaranteed for a year.
If you are set on DIY, put the effort into preparation: remove every trace of old sealant, clean and dry the joint, and follow the product’s cure time. If it fails, we can still redo it.
Why it’s worth doing now in Scone
Stripping out botched sealant adds time to a reseal, but not by much: the work takes a few hours, depending on how many layers have to come out. Compared with chasing the same leak every few months, it’s time well spent. Exposed walls in smaller Scottish places take a lot of wind and rain, and damp in stone or harled walls takes a long time to dry once water gets behind a joint.
A few things move the cost up or down: the old material and how easily it comes out, whether mould needs treating, and whether we need extra access for height. Your quote takes all of that into account.

Common questions in Scone
Do you work in hotels near Scone?
Yes. Hotel and guest-house work is part of what we do. Work can be planned room by room, and out-of-hours working can be arranged.
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Perth station?
Yes, we work for letting agents and landlords. You can email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk with the address and a few details, and we will give you a fixed price before any work starts.
Can old silicone be taken off without scratching the tiles?
Yes. Residue is removed with a product suited to the surface rather than scraped hard.
Can I choose the sealant colour?
Yes. White, clear and grey are common, and other colours are available, and we agree the colour with you before we start.
Is there any odour?
That depends on the sealant. Some products have a noticeable smell, others very little, and any smell fades as they cure.
What if resealing will not fix my leak?
You will hear it from us. If it’s a cracked tray, a failed valve or a leaking waste, resealing will not fix it, so we won’t pretend it will.
Is remedial work guaranteed?
Yes, for 12 months. Where we have flagged another fault, it needs fixing for the joint to last.
Can you quote for more than one area?
Of course. Combining jobs makes good use of the visit.
How the visit works
Good joint work is mostly preparation, and we do not rush it. Every joint is cleaned and dried before new material goes in. In total, it normally takes a few hours, depending on how many layers have to come out. Around Scone, distance and access matter more than parking. Tell us how to find the property and how to reach the work, and the visit is planned around that.
- First we work out whether the problem is the sealant, movement or a leak.
- Each layer is cut out and the residue cleaned off.
- We treat any mould and dry the joint thoroughly.
- The right product goes in, with backing where the joint moves.
- We finish neatly and point out anything that needs another trade.
Before we arrive
- Mention any parking rules near the property
- For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can
- Let us know if you’ve seen damp or leaks

Related advice
When it isn’t the sealant
Sealant isn’t the answer to every problem, and we will tell you before we start. Sealant will not put right:
- Old mastic in a building from before 2000 that should be checked for asbestos before it’s disturbed
- Cracks in the fitting rather than the joint
- A leaking trap, valve or supply pipe
If in doubt, email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk and we’ll say what we think before booking.
