For landlords and businesses
In hotels, rooms out of use cost money, so we plan the work room by room around your bookings where we can. Hotel work is part of what we do, alongside homes and businesses.
Letting agents often deal with us directly. Tell us the address, the job and how access works and we will give you a quote.
Remedial sealant in Wattston
Movement and expansion joints fail when the sealant cannot stretch. We cut out the failed sealant and set the depth with backing, then a flexible sealant matched to the movement goes in. If you are dealing with leaks that keep coming back after resealing and sealant peeling off a dusty or damp surface, we can put it right, whatever the surface.
A bathroom in a place like Wattston 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.
Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee.

What affects the cost of remedial sealant
For a quick quote, just ask. The main things that affect it are:
- Mould in or behind the old joints
- The number of rooms or windows
- Working hours on commercial sites
- Access and height
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.
What to tell us for a quote
Before you ask for a quote, have a think about:
- Pictures of the joints, sent by email
- Any previous sealing or DIY work
- How we’d reach the joints
- What’s wrong with the joints now
There’s no standard price list, as no two jobs are quite the same. Instead, we give you a clear price for your job. To arrange one, drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk.
What we’re called out for in Wattston
Products get mixed up: acrylic caulk in a wet area, a general-purpose sealant on a moving joint, or an acetoxy silicone on natural stone or some metals. Each fails in its own way.
It’s worth asking for a quote if you see:
- Torn expansion joints
- Worktop sealant that has shrunk and split
- Repeat leaks from the same joint
- Products that weren’t meant for the joint
For landlords with property near Greenfaulds station, failed or mouldy sealant is worth putting right between tenancies, before it turns into a leak.
What your quote should include
- Which colour the sealant will be
- What happens if they find a problem under the old sealant
- Whether they seal over old material or remove it
- Who does the work, and how experienced they are
How to look after the new joints
A little care helps the new joints last. We recommend:
- Deal with small splits early
- Have loose fittings fixed before resealing
- Check ceilings under showers for marks
- Do not point over movement joints
Keep an eye on the joint at first, particularly where the original failure was caused by movement. Should anything change, drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk.
Signs to act on: peeling layers, mould showing through the bead, leaks after showering or cracks in a movement joint. Each one is worth getting looked at.
DIY versus a professional finish
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. 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.
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.

What else we do in Wattston
What we cannot put right
A few problems are outside what sealant work can do:
- Older mastics that may need an asbestos check before removal
- A bath, tray or worktop that moves until it’s properly fixed
- Water damage behind tiles that needs a tiler
If you are not sure, just send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk and we will give you a straight answer.
What we seal
- Expansion joints
- Shrunken worktop sealant
- Botched or over-sealed joints
- Leaking tray & enclosure joints
- Mouldy bath & shower sealant
- Failed movement joints
The process
We keep the work tidy and contained to the joints we are treating, so you can get on with your day. Expect the work to take a few hours for a typical bath or shower, longer where several layers have been applied. In smaller Scottish places, parking is usually less of an issue than access and distance. Let us know how to find you and how to reach the joints, and the visit is planned around that.
- Surrounding tiles, trays and frames are protected first.
- Every layer of failed sealant is stripped out.
- We clean and degrease the joint and look for signs of movement or water.
- Once dry, a suitable sealant is applied and tooled.
- You get the cure time and our view on why the joint failed.
Preparing for the visit
- Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work
- Mention any parking rules near the property
- Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed

Remedial sealant in Wattston: local notes
In Scotland, private landlords have to meet the Repairing Standard, which covers keeping fixtures and fittings in a reasonable state of repair. Failed sealant around a bath or shower is worth sorting between tenancies. Scotland’s water is generally soft, so sealant and grout see less limescale than in much of England. Mould is another matter: a bathroom that stays damp still turns sealant and grout black.
