Remedial sealant in West Side, done properly
Movement and expansion joints fail when the sealant cannot stretch. The old sealant comes out and backing goes in to control the depth, then a flexible sealant matched to the movement goes in. We work on mouldy bath & shower sealant, shrunken worktop sealant and leaking tray & enclosure joints, and people most often call us about sealant that came away because the surface wasn’t prepared and floor or wall movement joints that have failed.
For a place like West Side, the job is the same as anywhere: everything old is cut out, the joints are cleaned and dried, and new sealant or grout goes in. We just plan the journey and access beforehand.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything is not right with it, drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk.

What we do, step by step
On the day, there’s very little for you to do. Point us to the joints and we will get on with it. The job generally takes a few hours, depending on how many layers have to come out from start to finish. Around West Side, distance and access matter more than parking. Let us know how to find you and how to reach the joints.
- We start by checking the joint for movement, leaks and the reason it failed.
- All the old sealant comes out, including any layers underneath.
- The joint is cleaned, treated for mould and left to dry.
- Moving joints get backing and a flexible sealant to suit.
- We tool the joint and tell you about anything else that needs attention.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive
- For business premises, tell us about site rules or sign-in

How to look after the new joints
No joint lasts for ever, but care makes a real difference. Our tips:
- Report a tray that rocks or a worktop that lifts
- Clean sealant with mild products only
- Act on a lifting corner right away
- Run the fan after every shower
Where we’ve pointed out another fault, have it put right, because the new sealant can’t hold back a problem underneath.
Don’t keep resealing the same joint. Have someone find out why, or the next bead will go the same way.
When to call us in West Side
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 most common problems we see are:
- Floor or wall movement joints that have failed
- Decorators’ caulk around a bath or shower
- A second bead peeling off the first
- Black mould underneath the bead
For jobs in and around West Side, choosing the right material for each joint is as important as a tidy finish.

Remedial sealant around West Side
West Side is within about 2 miles of the coast. Coastal homes, holiday lets and guest houses can see heavy bathroom use in busy months, and sealant and grout that work that hard wear out sooner. 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.
In and around West Side, as anywhere, good remedial sealant starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint.

Should I try it myself first?
If you do try it yourself, take your time over the preparation: take out all the old sealant, make sure the joint is clean and dry, and give it the full cure time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still put it right.
A DIY attempt doesn’t rule out a professional job. We remove it and do the joint properly, so tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
What happens if it’s left?
A failed seal rarely means a new bathroom. When the fittings are sound, stripping and resealing the joints is often enough. Where something else has failed, you will hear it from us. In a place like West Side, small leaks are easy to put off, but water behind a failed seal does the most damage when nobody’s watching.
Doing several joints on one visit normally makes better use of the time than several visits, so tell us about everything that needs sealing. We will send you a clear quote for the lot.

Common questions in West Side
Is remedial sealant in West Side guaranteed?
All our work, in West Side and everywhere else, comes with a 12-month guarantee. We are also fully insured and ARBOMaster approved.
Can you do remedial sealant in West Side?
Yes, West Side is within the area we cover. Our work covers the whole of Scotland. You can send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk and let us know what needs doing.
Will it make a mess?
Not at all. The area is protected while we work and cleaned up afterwards.
Will the old sealant be removed?
Yes, every time. New silicone doesn’t stick to old silicone, so any old material comes out before anything new goes in.
Do the sealants smell?
Possibly a little. Any smell clears as the sealant cures, and ventilation helps.
Can you remove sealant that is been put over old sealant?
Yes. We remove every layer; new silicone does not bond to old silicone, which is why over-sealing fails.
Someone resealed my shower and it’s leaking again. Can you help?
Yes. We check it’s the sealant and not the tray, valve or waste, then the joints are stripped and resealed.
What if resealing won’t fix my leak?
You’ll hear it from us. If it’s a cracked tray, a failed valve or a leaking waste, resealing won’t fix it, so we won’t pretend it will.
