How we handle remedial sealant in St Combs
A movement joint stops working when its sealant splits or sets hard. We cut out the failed sealant and set the depth with backing, then a flexible sealant matched to the movement goes in. If you have dark patches showing through the sealant and decorators’ caulk around a bath or shower, we can help.
In and around a place like St Combs, homes range from older stone-built properties to newer houses. Where a building moves, cracked grout and split sealant are normally the first signs.
You’re covered for a year from the day we finish. If there’s a problem with it, please drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk.

Why it’s worth doing now in St Combs
A failed seal rarely means a new bathroom. When the fittings are sound, stripping and resealing the joints is often enough. Where something else has failed, you’ll hear it from us. In a place like St Combs, small leaks are easy to put off, but water behind a failed seal does the most damage when nobody’s watching.

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.

Will you leave a mess?
Tidy work is part of the job. We protect what’s around the joints.
Someone resealed my shower and it’s leaking again. Can you help?
Yes, usually. First we check whether the leak is the sealant at all, then the joints are stripped and resealed.
Can you reseal a split movement joint?
Yes. The depth is set with backing so the sealant only bonds to the two sides.
Remedial sealant around St Combs
St Combs is close to 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. In Scotland, private landlords have to meet the Repairing Standard, which covers keeping fixtures and fittings in a reasonable state of repair. Failed sealant around a bath or shower is worth sorting between tenancies.
In and around St Combs, as anywhere, good remedial sealant starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint.

Do you need remedial sealant in St Combs?
All sealant wears out eventually. Mould grows into the silicone, the surface hardens and the bead shrinks. Then the only fix is removal and a new bead.
Look out for any of the following:
- Wide, uneven beads that look worse than the old ones
- Black mould underneath the bead
- Movement joints that have split or pulled away
- A shower that leaks however often it’s resealed
If you live in an older home near St Combs, older homes can move a little, which is hard on rigid grout and tired sealant.

How we quote for remedial sealant
Some jobs are bigger than they look, and some smaller. The main factors:
- Whether old sealant or filler has to be cut out
- Which sealant suits the joint
- The size of the job
- Working hours on commercial sites
Every job is a little different, so we quote each one individually. Size, access and the product the joint needs all play a part, and we will explain the quote if you ask.
What we need to know
Photos help, but a description is a good start. Try to tell us:
- Whether it’s a home or a business
- Where the job is, and your postcode
- A few photos by email, if you can
- Any access issues, like height or stairs
For a quote, send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk and tell us where the job is and what the problem looks like. We will send you a clear quote before any work starts.
How to look after the new joints
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Ask why a joint failed before redoing it
- Never fill a movement joint with mortar or grout
- Don’t wait for a small gap to become a leak
- Check trays and worktops do not move
Keep the room ventilated: run the fan during and after showers, or open a window.
Signs to act on: peeling layers, mould showing through the bead, leaks after showering or cracks in a movement joint. Each one is worth getting looked at.
Can I do it myself?
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.
What happens on the day
Before we leave, we go over the finished joints with you and tell you how long to leave it. The visit itself usually takes a few hours, depending on how many layers have to come out, depending on the size of the job. Outdoor work around St Combs depends on the weather, as sealant needs a dry surface, so external jobs may need to move if the day turns wet. Work indoors is not affected.
- We protect the surfaces around the joint.
- Every layer of failed sealant is stripped out.
- We clean and degrease the joint and look for signs of movement or water.
- Once dry, a suitable sealant is applied and tooled.
- We give you the cure time and explain what caused the failure.
How to prepare
- Mention any tricky access
- Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed
