Remedial sealant & repairs in Tulloes, Angus
Removing failed, mouldy or leaking sealant and putting it right for homeowners, landlords and businesses in Tulloes. ARBOMaster approved applicators, fully insured, with a one-year guarantee.
- Thick, messy sealant smeared over tiles
- Sealant applied over old sealant that has lifted
- Gaps opening along the back of the worktop
Can I do it myself?
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions, then guaranteed for a year.
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. New silicone won’t bond to old, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. All the old material has to come out first.
Remedial sealant for homes and businesses in Tulloes
Movement and expansion joints fail when the sealant can’t stretch. We cut out the failed sealant and set the depth with backing, before resealing with a flexible product suited to the movement. Typical jobs include sealant peeling off a dusty or damp surface and mould trapped under a layer of silicone, across leaking tray & enclosure joints, shrunken worktop sealant and failed movement joints.
In and around a place like Tulloes, homes range from older stone-built properties to newer houses. Where a building moves, cracked grout and split sealant are normally the first signs.
Each job carries a 12-month guarantee, whatever its size.

Looking after it afterwards
How long the joints last depends on use and care. Here’s what we suggest:
- Look for stains below bathrooms now and then
- Do not wait for a small gap to become a leak
- Find out why the sealant failed first
- Keep the room well ventilated
Clean gently: no scraping, scouring pads or harsh chemicals.
Mould under a second layer of sealant keeps growing out of sight. By the time it shows through, the joint is well past saving.

Different surfaces, different methods
Movement & expansion joints
Some movement joints have been filled with mortar or grout. Where it can be raked out, we replace it with flexible sealant.
Over-sealed & botched joints
Previous removal attempts can leave scratches or gouges. We work carefully to avoid adding to it, and tell you about any damage we find.
What happens on the day

We protect the rest, and the job takes a few hours for most joints, depending on how much old sealant has to come out for a typical job.

Advice
Do you need remedial sealant in Tulloes?
Joints that move need sealant that can stretch. A bath that flexes, a tray that rocks or a building joint that opens and closes split any bead that is too stiff or too thin.
People usually contact us when they notice one of these:
- Smears and lumps from a botched reseal
- Over-sealed joints coming away
- Beads that never stuck properly
- Torn expansion joints
In and around Tulloes, as anywhere, good remedial sealant starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint.
Questions to ask before you book
- Are they insured?
- How the joint is cleaned and prepared
- How long the guarantee is
- How long to leave it before use
What sealant work can’t fix
Honest advice matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what new sealant won’t do:
- Sealant in an older building that needs testing for asbestos first
- A leaking trap, valve or supply pipe
- A tray or bath that is cracked
If you’re not sure, just email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Bathrooms and kitchens in Tulloes
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 doesn’t dry out. 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.
Whether the job is in Tulloes itself or nearby, the right material for each joint matters as much as a neat finish.
