Remedial sealant for homes and businesses in Tillydrone
Getting old sealant out properly is slow, careful work. Every layer is cut out, the residue cleaned off and the joint degreased, taking care not to scratch the surfaces around it. New sealant only bonds to a clean, dry joint. If you have smears and lumps from a botched reseal and dark patches showing through the sealant, we can help, on shrunken worktop sealant, expansion joints and mouldy bath & shower sealant alike.
Tenement flats are common in all four of Scotland’s big cities, alongside suburban houses and modern blocks. In a tenement, most bathrooms sit above someone else’s ceiling, so failed sealant around a bath or shower can soon become a neighbour’s problem, and that is as true in Tillydrone as anywhere in the city.
Our work is backed for twelve months.

How it works
We keep the work tidy and contained to the area we’re working on, so you can carry on as normal. The job generally takes a few hours for most joints, depending on how much old sealant has to come out, and we tell you how long to leave it before we go. In a city area like Tillydrone, parking may be by permit or pay-and-display, so tell us what’s nearby. For flats, mention the door entry system and any shared-stair arrangements.
- 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.
- We reseal with a product suited to the joint, backed where needed.
- The joint is tooled and you are told about anything else we found.
How to prepare
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive
- Mention any sign-in or site rules at work premises
- Tell us if parking is tricky

- Whether it has been sealed before

- Where the job is, and your postcode

FAQs for Tillydrone
Do you work for landlords with property near Aberdeen station?
Yes, we work for landlords and agents. Just drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk and tell us about the property, and we’ll give you a clear price.
Do you work in hotels near Tillydrone?
Yes, hospitality work, including hotels, is part of what we do. Jobs can be programmed room by room, with out-of-hours working possible to arrange.
Is it worth trying it myself?
You can, for simple jobs. The key is preparation: remove all the old material and work on a clean, dry joint. If it doesn’t work out, we can redo it.
Do you have insurance?
Yes. We’re fully insured.
Is it messy?
No. The area is protected while we work and cleaned up afterwards.
Can you reseal a split movement joint?
Yes. If a joint has been filled with mortar or rigid filler, we rake it out where possible, then the joint is sealed properly.
What sealant do you use?
Each joint gets the product that suits it. Movement, water and weather all affect the choice, and we’ll tell you what we’re using.
How long does the work take?
That depends on how many layers there are and how many joints. You will have a timescale before any work begins.
Why it’s worth doing now in Tillydrone
Mould under a bead can’t be reached by cleaning. The layers have to come out, so the joint can be treated and resealed. For landlords in Tillydrone, damp and leaks can be a Repairing Standard issue, so failed sealant is best replaced before it becomes a complaint.
There are no prices on our website, because each job is priced on what it involves. Call for a quick quote and we’ll talk you through it.
Why book with us
- White, clear, grey or another colour, product permitting
- We are fully insured
- More than 20 years in sealant work
- We never seal over old sealant
Common problems we fix in Tillydrone
All sealant wears out eventually. Mould grows into the silicone, the surface hardens and the bead shrinks, faster where ventilation is poor. At that point it has to come out.
These are the problems we’re asked about most:
- Repeat leaks from the same joint
- Floor or wall movement joints that have failed
- Beads that never stuck properly
- Mould trapped under a layer of silicone
Rented homes near Aberdeen station change hands often, and botched sealant from a previous quick fix is easier to strip out between tenants.
What your quote should include
- What happens if they find a problem under the old sealant
- How the colour is chosen
- When the joint can take water or movement
- Which sealant they’ll use, and why
What we can’t put right
New sealant can’t fix everything, and we will tell you before work begins. Sealant won’t put right:
- Older mastics that may need an asbestos check before removal
- A tray or bath that’s cracked
- Plumbing leaks behind walls or under trays
If in doubt, drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk and we will say what we think before you book.
Surfaces we seal
- Leaking tray & enclosure joints
- Expansion joints
- Botched or over-sealed joints
- Failed movement joints
- Mouldy bath & shower sealant
- Shrunken worktop sealant
Remedial sealant around Tillydrone
Tillydrone is within about 2 miles of 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. 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.
Schools such as St Machar Academy are buildings too, and we reseal washrooms and kitchens in schools and businesses as well as homes. For an older house near a landmark such as St Joseph's Church, older homes can move a little, which is hard on rigid grout and tired sealant.

Keeping the joints in good condition
So the new joints stay in good condition:
- Act on a lifting corner right away
- Look for stains below bathrooms now and then
- Clean sealant with mild products only
- Have loose fittings fixed before resealing
Keep an eye on the joint at first, especially if movement was the problem. If anything changes, just drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk.
Mould under a second layer of sealant keeps growing out of sight. By the time it shows through, the joint is well past saving.
