Remedial sealant in Tweedbank, done properly
Some sealant jobs aren’t a simple reseal, because someone has already had a go. New sealant over old, smeared beads, unsuitable products and hidden mould all have to come out. We work on leaking tray & enclosure joints, expansion joints and mouldy bath & shower sealant, and common reasons people get in touch are beads that never stuck properly and decorators’ caulk around a bath or shower.
A bathroom in a place like Tweedbank 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.
Our work is backed for twelve months.

Leave it or put it right?
Spraying mould remover on a sealed-over joint doesn’t reach what’s underneath. Removal is the only way to get at it, so the joint can be treated and resealed. In an older home around Tweedbank, damp from a failed joint can get into timber and plaster, which is a far bigger job than the sealant.
Homes and businesses are quoted the same way: the amount of work, the access and the products needed. Call for a quick quote and we will explain what it covers.

When something else is needed
Sealant isn’t the answer to every problem, and we will tell you before any work starts. It will not solve:
- Failed tanking or loose tiles behind the sealant
- A leaking trap, valve or supply pipe
- A bath, tray or worktop that moves until it’s properly fixed
Not sure which it is? You can drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.
What we seal
- Leaking tray & enclosure joints
- Mouldy bath & shower sealant
- Expansion joints
- Botched or over-sealed joints
- Failed movement joints
- Shrunken worktop sealant
Looking after it afterwards
How long the joints last depends on use and care. Here’s what we suggest:
- Check ceilings under showers for marks
- Never seal over old silicone
- Report a tray that rocks or a worktop that lifts
- Keep the room well ventilated
Clean gently: no scraping, scouring pads or harsh chemicals.
Do not keep resealing the same joint. Get the cause found first, otherwise the next attempt will fail too.
The process
Our applicators work methodically: protect, prepare, seal, tidy. Typically it takes a few hours for a typical bath or shower, longer where several layers have been applied and we leave things clean and tidy. Outdoor work around Tweedbank depends on the weather, as sealant needs a dry surface, so external jobs may need to move if the day turns wet. Indoor work goes ahead whatever the weather.
- First we find out how and where the joint has failed.
- We strip the joint completely, removing any layers below.
- Next, any mould is treated and the joint dried.
- Moving joints get backing and a flexible sealant to suit.
- The new joint is tooled neatly and we explain anything else we found.
Before we arrive
- Keep children and pets away from the work area
- Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints
- Let us know if you’ve seen damp or leaks

Surface by surface
Worktops & kitchens
Old kitchen sealant pulls back from the wall over time. We strip it, degrease the joint and reseal colour-matched to the worktop.
Over-sealed & botched joints
Previous removal attempts can leave scratches or gouges. We take care not to make it worse, and tell you about any damage we find.
What remedial sealant looks like in Tweedbank
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. Tired, leaking sealant is worth putting right before a new tenant moves in.

If you look after a building such as Galashiels Academy, 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.
