Tannadice Remedial Sealant
Remedial sealant across Tannadice and nearby, with every bit of old sealant taken out first.
- Mould trapped under a layer of silicone
- Over-sealed joints coming away
- Sealant peeling off a dusty or damp surface
How it works
Most of a good job is in the preparation, so that is where we spend the time. Every joint is cleaned and dried before new material goes in. In total, it usually takes a few hours for most joints, depending on how much old sealant has to come out. Somewhere like Tannadice may be a longer drive, and the journey is planned ahead. Mention tracks, gates, ferries or anything else about the route.
- 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.
- We treat any mould and dry the joint thoroughly.
- The right product goes in, with backing where the joint moves.
- The joint is tooled and you’re told about anything else we found.
Before we arrive
- For business premises, tell us about site rules or sign-in
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit
- Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed

Remedial sealant for homes and businesses in Tannadice
Decorators’ caulk in a shower, bathroom silicone on a window, a rigid filler in a movement joint fails however neatly it’s applied. We take it out and use a sealant made for that joint. We’re often asked to deal with gaps opening along the back of the worktop and products that weren’t meant for the joint, across mouldy bath & shower sealant, botched or over-sealed joints and failed movement joints.
Bathrooms in smaller places like Tannadice 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.
All of our work is guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you are.

Tannadice questions
Is there a guarantee on remedial sealant in Tannadice?
Every job comes with our one-year guarantee, wherever it is. We’re fully insured, and an ARBOMaster approved applicator.
Is Tannadice in your area for remedial sealant?
Yes, Tannadice is within the area we cover. Our work covers the whole of Scotland. Just send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk with a few details of the job, and we will send you a clear quote.
Can failed expansion joints be resealed?
Yes. We cut out the failed sealant, fit backing and reseal with a flexible product.
Is it messy?
No. We work neatly, protect the area around the joints and tidy up afterwards.
Is there any odour?
Some sealants have a smell while they cure, which fades as it sets. Opening a window helps.
Can you match the sealant colour?
Normally, yes. White, clear and grey are common, and other colours are available for many products, and we will agree it with you first.
Should I try DIY first?
Sometimes. Preparation is everything: all the old sealant out, and a clean, dry joint. We can always put it right if it fails.
Can tenants book the work?
We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
Different surfaces, different methods
Windows & doors
Failed frame mastic is often hard, cracked and in several layers. All of it is cut out and the frame and wall cleaned.
Movement & expansion joints
Joints filled with mortar, grout or rigid filler cannot move. We rake that out where it can be removed and seal with a flexible product.
What else we do in Tannadice
How to look after the new joints
Once the sealant has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Keep movement joints clear of mortar and paint
- Report a tray that rocks or a worktop that lifts
- Act on a lifting corner right away
- Clean sealant with mild products only
If the joint ever needs renewing, have it cut out, not sealed over. Over-sealing is how many remedial jobs start, so the old bead should always come out first.
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.
What remedial sealant looks like in Tannadice
Private landlords in Scotland must be registered and meet the Repairing Standard, which includes keeping fixtures and fittings in reasonable repair. Failed sealant around a bath or shower is worth sorting between tenancies. 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 does not dry out.
In the older streets around Parish Church And Old Parish Church, walls and floors in older homes can move, and sealant and grout show it first. In and around Tannadice, as anywhere, good remedial sealant starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint.

Why it’s worth doing now in Tannadice
A failed seal rarely means a new bathroom. If the bath, tray and tiles are sound, remedial resealing normally puts it right. If they’re not, we’ll tell you. 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.
Rather than a set price list, we look at what your job involves: the amount of work, the old material and the access. You will know the price before we begin.
Why us?
- You choose the colour before work begins
- Old sealant always removed completely
- Arbo and Everbuild products
- Colour picked to suit the job

How we quote for remedial sealant
We don’t publish a price list, because jobs vary so much. The quote depends on:
- The number of rooms or windows
- The number and length of the joints
- The type of sealant required
- Whether the work is at height
A failed joint rarely gets cheaper to fix by waiting, because water and mould keep working on it. If you’re not sure whether it needs doing, drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk and we will give you an honest view and a quote.
Asking for a quote
There’s no need for technical detail. Just tell us:
- Where the property is
- Access, such as stairs, a lift or height
- Whether it has been sealed before
- The type of property
Need a quote? Please email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk with a few details. You will know what we plan to do, and what it will cost, before any work begins.
What sealant work can’t fix
Honest advice matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what sealant cannot fix:
- Leaks from a shower valve, waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
- A bath, tray or worktop that moves until it’s properly fixed
- Cracks in the fitting rather than the joint
Not sure which it is? You can drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk and we’ll tell you honestly.
