Keeping the joints in good condition
A little care helps the new joints last. Our advice:
- Have loose fittings fixed before resealing
- Deal with small splits early
- Never seal over old silicone
- Keep movement joints clear of mortar and paint
Leave the new joint to cure fully before it gets wet or moves: follow the cure time we give you.
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?
Adding more sealant is the usual quick fix, and it rarely works. It cannot bond to what’s underneath, so the leak carries on and there’s now more to remove. Exposed walls in smaller Scottish places take a lot of wind and rain, and once water gets behind a failed joint, damp in stone or harled walls is slow to dry out.
Every job is a little different, so each one gets its own quote. The number of joints, how easy they are to reach and the sealant needed all play a part.

Signs you need remedial sealant in West Mains
Movement tears sealant that isn’t designed for it. Flexing baths, rocking trays and building movement joints split any bead that is too stiff or too thin.
The problems people usually mention when they call are:
- A shower that leaks however often it’s resealed
- Smears and lumps from a botched reseal
- Caulk or the wrong sealant used in a wet area
- Black mould underneath the bead
Letting a property close to East Kilbride station? Then failed or mouldy sealant is worth putting right between tenancies, before it turns into a leak.

Every job is different, so each one gets its own quote. To get one, send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk with a short description of the job.
Can you strip sealant from an acrylic tray safely?
Yes. We avoid heavy scraping and use the right cleaner for each surface.
Can you fix a reseal that hasn’t worked?
Yes. First we check whether the leak is the sealant at all, then strip and reseal the joints.
Are you insured?
Yes. Mr Mastic is fully insured.
How long will it take to strip and reseal the joint?
That depends on how many layers there are and how many joints. We will tell you before work begins.
Different surfaces, different methods
Mouldy bath & shower sealant
Black mould inside the bead won’t scrub out. The sealant is cut out completely, the joint treated with a mould remover and dried before anti-fungal sanitary silicone goes in.
Leaking trays & enclosures
A shower that leaks after resealing often has a tray that moves or an enclosure sealed on the wrong side. Both are checked before any new sealant goes on.
How it works
Once we are on site, we compare the joints with what we discussed. If anything is different, we explain it before carrying on. After that, the work takes a few hours for a typical bath or shower, longer where several layers have been applied. Somewhere like West Mains may be a longer drive, and the journey is planned ahead. Tell us about tracks, gates, a ferry crossing or anything unusual about getting there.
- We look at how the sealant has failed and check for movement or a leak path.
- We strip the joint completely, removing any layers below.
- The joint is cleaned, treated for mould and left to dry.
- Moving joints get backing and a flexible sealant to suit.
- Finally we finish the joint and talk you through what we found.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention any tricky access
- Clear items away from the joints we’re working on
- On commercial sites, let us know about site rules

Advice
Remedial sealant around West Mains
In Scotland, private landlords have to 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. Scottish Water supplies are generally soft, so limescale is less of a problem than in hard-water areas. Mould is another matter: a bathroom that stays damp still turns sealant and grout black.
Schools such as St Andrew's and St Bride's High School are buildings too, and its toilets, changing areas and kitchens need their sealant renewed like any other building’s. For an older house near a landmark such as West Kirk, bathrooms in older houses have often been refitted more than once, with sealant laid over sealant.
