Remedial sealant in Townhead, done properly
A movement joint stops working when its sealant splits or sets hard. The old sealant comes out and backing goes in to control the depth, then a flexible sealant matched to the movement goes in. If you have a second bead peeling off the first and repeat leaks from the same joint, we can help, on botched or over-sealed joints, expansion joints and shrunken worktop sealant alike.
Townhead is in one of Scotland’s four big cities, where many tenement bathrooms were fitted into rooms that weren’t built for them. Rooms like that are often small and slow to dry out, and steam with nowhere to go is what turns sealant black and grout grey.

Why deal with it now?
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. Private landlords in Townhead must meet the Repairing Standard, and damp or leaks can fall short of it, so it’s worth fixing failed sealant before a tenant reports it.

What affects the quote in Townhead
The price is agreed before any work begins. It’s based on:
- Mould in or behind the old joints
- How many rooms, windows or areas are involved
- The old material and how stubborn it is
- The size of the job
No two jobs are quite the same, so we quote each one individually. The number of joints, how easy they are to reach and the sealant needed all make a difference.
What to tell us for a quote
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote. When you ask for a quote, tell us:
- How many joints, rooms or windows are involved
- Pictures of the joints, sent by email
- Whether it has been sealed before
- What the problem is, such as mould, gaps, leaks or cracking

Aftercare tips
To keep the joints looking good and working properly:
- Use a soft cloth, not a scourer, on silicone
- Never fill a movement joint with mortar or grout
- Air the bathroom so the sealant can dry
- Report a tray that rocks or a worktop that lifts
Go easy on the new sealant: no scraping, scouring pads or harsh chemicals.
A split movement joint lets rain into walls and floors, and the longer it’s left, the more the joint edges break down. Resealing while the edges are sound is simpler.
Honest limits
Some problems need a builder, plumber or other trade rather than us:
- Failed tanking or loose tiles behind the sealant
- Old mastic in a building from before 2000 that should be checked for asbestos before it’s disturbed
- A tray or worktop that needs refixing first
Not sure which it is? You can email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk and we will tell you honestly.
Joints and surfaces we work on

DIY versus a professional finish
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that’s fine. We cut it out and start again, so just mention it when you contact us.
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and doesn’t move well, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.
How it works
Most of a good job is in the preparation, so that’s where we spend the time. Every joint is cleaned and dried before new material goes in. In total, it normally takes a few hours, depending on how many layers have to come out. In a city area like Townhead, 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.
- We protect the surfaces around the joint.
- The botched or failed sealant is cut away completely.
- We clean and degrease the joint and look for signs of movement or water.
- New sealant goes in once the joint is dry, and is tooled smooth.
- We give you the cure time and explain what caused the failure.
How to prepare
- Tell us about access, such as stairs, a lift or high-level joints
- Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children
