Remedial sealant in Wellbank
Remedial work is what we do when sealant has failed or been done badly. New sealant over old, smeared beads, unsuitable products and hidden mould all have to come out. If you are dealing with floor or wall movement joints that have failed and dark patches showing through the sealant, we can put it right, on leaking tray & enclosure joints, failed movement joints and botched or over-sealed joints alike.
In and around a place like Wellbank, homes range from older stone-built properties to newer houses. Where a building moves, cracked grout and split sealant are generally the first signs.
Our work is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you are.

What happens on the day
Once we are on site, we check the joints match what you told us. If anything is different, we explain it before carrying on. Most jobs then take a few hours, depending on how many layers have to come out. Outdoor work around Wellbank depends on the weather, as sealant needs a dry surface, so an outdoor job can move if the forecast changes. Work indoors is not affected.
- First we find out how and where the joint has failed.
- All the old sealant comes out, including any layers underneath.
- The joint is cleaned, treated for mould and left to dry.
- Where the joint moves, backing and a flexible sealant suited to the movement go in.
- 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

Questions from Wellbank
Do you cover smaller places like Wellbank?
Yes, Wellbank is covered. Our work covers the whole of Scotland, and smaller places are part of that. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
Do you work for landlords with property near Monifieth station?
Yes, we work for landlords and agents. Just email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk and tell us about the property, and we will give you a clear price.
Can you reseal a split movement joint?
Yes. Backing sets the depth and stops the sealant sticking to the back, which lets it stretch.
Which products do you use?
It depends on the joint: sanitary silicone where it gets wet, and sealants suited to movement or weather elsewhere. We use products from Arbo and Everbuild.
Should I try DIY first?
Some simple jobs can be done by a careful DIYer. The usual mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using too much.
Do the sealants smell?
Sometimes, a little. Any smell clears as the sealant cures.
Can you quote for more than one area?
Yes. Just list everything you need.
Will you leave a mess?
No. We work neatly, protect the area around the joints and tidy up afterwards.
Surface by surface
Windows & doors
A frame that keeps leaking may not be the mastic. We check the joint and tell you if it looks to be something else.
Over-sealed & botched joints
Botched joints sometimes have damaged edges from earlier scraping. We work carefully to avoid adding to it, and point out any existing damage.
Bathrooms and kitchens in Wellbank
Dundee has plenty of sandstone tenements, where a failed bath or shower seal can reach the flat below. 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 does not dry out.
Letting a property close to Monifieth station? Then failed or mouldy sealant is worth putting right between tenancies, before it turns into a leak.

Do you need remedial sealant in Wellbank?
Joint depth matters. A bead bonded on three sides, or laid too thick, cannot flex, and tears at the first real movement. Backing sets the depth and stops that.
The problems people generally mention when they call are:
- Caulk or the wrong sealant used in a wet area
- Over-sealed joints coming away
- Sealant that came away because the surface wasn’t prepared
- Floor or wall movement joints that have failed
In and around Wellbank, as anywhere, good remedial sealant starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint.

Aftercare tips
So the new joints stay in good condition:
- Never fill a movement joint with mortar or grout
- Always have old sealant cut out, not covered
- Report a tray that rocks or a worktop that lifts
- Get the cause of a repeat leak found before resealing
Where we have pointed out another fault, have it put right, or the new joint may fail again.
Mould trapped under over-sealed joints spreads unseen. When it finally shows, the whole bead needs to come out.
What happens if it’s left?
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. In a place like Wellbank, small leaks are easy to put off, but water behind a failed seal does the most damage when nobody’s watching.
A failed joint rarely gets cheaper to fix by waiting, as water and mould keep getting in. If you’re unsure, email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk for an honest opinion and a quote.
