Remedial sealant in Tillicoultry, done properly
A joint that keeps letting you down needs more than another bead. It helps to have pictures when you drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk. If you have mould trapped under a layer of silicone and sealant applied over old sealant that has lifted, we can put it right.
A bathroom in a place like Tillicoultry gets the same daily wear as one in a city flat. Limescale is less of a problem with Scotland’s generally soft water, but mould still takes hold in damp sealant and grout.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee.

Why deal with it now?
Ripping out a bathroom isn’t generally needed. When the fittings are sound, stripping and resealing the joints is often enough. If they’re not, we will tell you. 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.
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 else we do in Tillicoultry
How to look after the new joints
Looking after new joints is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Keep an eye on the ceiling below the bathroom
- Run the fan after every shower
- Do not add new sealant on top of old
- Check trays and worktops do not move
Keep the room ventilated: run the fan during and after showers, or open a window.
Do not keep resealing the same joint. Have someone find out why, or the next bead will go the same way.
Bathrooms and kitchens in Tillicoultry
Scottish Water supplies are generally soft, so limescale is less of a problem than in hard-water areas. 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.
Rented homes near Alloa station change hands often, and failed or mouldy sealant is worth putting right between tenancies, before it turns into a leak. Schools such as Alva Academy are buildings too, and 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. If you live in an older home near Parish Church of St. Serf, bathrooms in older houses have often been refitted more than once, with sealant laid over sealant.

Is Tillicoultry in your area for remedial sealant?
Yes. Our work covers the whole of Scotland, and Tillicoultry is part of that. Just drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk with a few details of the job.
I let a flat near Alloa station. Can you help?

Will there be a smell?
Some sealants have a smell while they cure, which fades as it sets. Opening a window helps.
How long does the work take?
The number of joints and layers decides it. We will tell you before we start.
Can you remove sealant that is been put over old sealant?
Yes. We cut out all the layers and clean off the film, then the joint is resealed once.
Do I need to be at home?
We need access to the joints, so we’ll agree that with you when we book. For inside work, that normally means someone being in.
Do you have insurance?
Yes. We are fully insured for every job we do.
Do you hold any approvals?
Yes. We are an ARBOMaster approved applicator, which is run for the Arbo sealant brand.
What we cannot put right
A few problems are outside what sealant work can do:
- Water damage behind tiles that needs a tiler
- A cracked shower tray or bath (that needs repair or replacing)
- Plumbing leaks behind walls or under trays
Not sure which it is? You can drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk and we’ll tell you honestly.
Surfaces we seal
- Botched or over-sealed joints
- Leaking tray & enclosure joints
- Expansion joints
- Failed movement joints
- Shrunken worktop sealant
- Mouldy bath & shower sealant
The process
The work is kept neat and contained to the joints we’re treating, so you can carry on as normal. Expect the work to take a few hours, depending on how many layers have to come out, and we tell you how long to leave it before we go. In smaller Scottish places, parking is normally less of an issue than access and distance. Let us know how to find you and how to reach the joints.
- First we work out whether the problem is the sealant, movement or a leak.
- Old beads and residue are removed down to clean surfaces.
- Mould is treated and the joint dried.
- We reseal with a product suited to the joint, backed where needed.
- The joint is tooled and you’re told about anything else we found.
Before we arrive
- Tell us about any previous sealing or DIY attempts
- Keep children and pets away from the work area
- Let us know about parking restrictions

Advice
Landlords, agents and businesses in Tillicoultry
We also work for businesses, from offices to washrooms and kitchens. On commercial sites, working times can be discussed when we quote.
Water getting past a failed joint can damage the building, which matters even more when someone else lives there. Keeping joints in good order is simple maintenance.
Should I try it myself first?
If you’re 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.
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. New silicone will not bond to old, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. All the old material has to come out first.
How the job changes by surface
Leaking trays & enclosures
Where the joints are the problem, every bead is stripped and resealed with anti-fungal sanitary silicone, tray edges and screen profiles included.
Windows & doors
Smeared or badly matched mastic can be cut out and redone neatly, matched to the frame colour.
