Remedial sealant & repairs in Thomshill, Moray
Problem with your failed sealant joints in Thomshill? We cut out the old, prepare the joints and apply the right sealant.
- Smears and lumps from a botched reseal
- A second bead peeling off the first
- Floor or wall movement joints that have failed
Remedial sealant in Thomshill
The wrong product in the wrong joint will not last, however tidy it looks. We take it out and use a sealant made for that joint. We work on expansion joints, shrunken worktop sealant and botched or over-sealed joints, and common reasons people get in touch are mould trapped under a layer of silicone and wide, uneven beads that look worse than the old ones.
Across smaller places in Scotland, homes range from stone and harled cottages to newer houses. Older buildings can move a little, and that shows first in cracked grout and split sealant.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you’re not left on your own once the job is done.

Remedial sealant around Thomshill
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. Private landlords in Scotland must be registered and 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.
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Elgin High School, washroom and kitchen sealant there needs the same care as at home, and schools and businesses are part of our work as well as homes. Rented homes near Elgin station change hands often, and failed or mouldy sealant is worth putting right between tenancies, before it turns into a leak.

Your questions about remedial sealant in Thomshill
Is Thomshill within the area you cover?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. We work across all of Scotland. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Elgin station?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for, and several properties can be quoted together. Just drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk with the address and what needs doing, and we’ll give you a clear price.
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?
Yes. Sealants come in white, clear, grey and other colours for many products, and we agree the colour with you before any work starts.
What sealant do you use?
Each joint gets the product that suits it. Where it moves, gets wet or faces the weather makes a difference, and we’ll explain our choice.
Do you hold any approvals?
Yes. Mr Mastic is an ARBOMaster approved applicator, and we are fully insured.
Can you take off two layers of silicone?
Yes. Both layers come out; new silicone does not bond to old silicone, which is why over-sealing fails.
What if resealing will not fix my leak?
In that case, we tell you what we’ve found. You may need a plumber or bathroom fitter.

Advice
How to look after the new joints
Simple care keeps the joints in good condition. Our advice:
- Ask why a joint failed before redoing it
- Don’t wait for a small gap to become a leak
- Keep movement joints clear of mortar and paint
- Keep an eye on the ceiling below the bathroom
Keep an eye on the joint at first, especially if movement was the problem. Should anything change, email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk.
Don’t keep resealing the same joint. Have someone find out why, or the next bead will go the same way.
Can I do it myself?
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that is fine. We cut it out and start again, so just mention it when you contact us.
Not every job suits DIY: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs need the right product, the right access and the right method.
What we’re called out for in Thomshill
Products get mixed up: caulk where it gets wet, rigid sealant where things move, or an acetoxy silicone on a surface it can mark. Each fails in its own way.
It’s worth asking for a quote if you see:
- Repeat leaks from the same joint
- Black mould underneath the bead
- Sealant peeling off a dusty or damp surface
- Sealant applied over old sealant that has lifted
Homes close to Birnie Kirk include some older properties, and timber floors under older bathrooms flex, so joints need a sealant that moves with them.
Questions to ask before you book
- When the joint can take water or movement
- Are they insured?
- How hidden problems are handled
- Which colour the sealant will be
Quotes for remedial sealant in Thomshill

- Working hours on commercial sites
Instead of a standard rate, we look at what your job involves: how many joints, what’s in them now and how we reach them. You’ll know the price before we begin.
What we need to know
What to tell us when you ask for a quote:
- The rough size of the job
- Where the job is, and your postcode
- What’s wrong with the joints now
- Whether it has been sealed before
Call for a quick quote, or send an email if you’d rather. Tell us about the joints that need doing and we’ll explain what’s involved and give you a clear quote.
Why it’s worth doing now in Thomshill
A joint that has failed twice will fail again unless the cause is dealt with. Taking time to find the cause, whether it’s movement, a leak or the wrong product, is what stops it happening again. 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 the work is at height. Your quote takes all of that into account.
What you get with us
- Colour picked to suit the job
- Over 20 years’ experience
- A choice of colours where the product allows
- ARBOMaster approved applicator

How the job changes by surface
Mouldy bath & shower sealant
Mould that has grown into silicone doesn’t clean out for good. 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, in a colour that suits the frame.
