What the job involves on each surface
Mouldy bath & shower sealant
Where mould keeps coming back, ventilation is normally part of the cause. Along with resealing, we’ll mention if the room needs better ventilation.
Leaking trays & enclosures
Where the joints are the problem, every bead is stripped and resealed with anti-fungal sanitary silicone, tray edges and screen profiles included.
Remedial sealant in Woodside
Not every leak is a sealant leak. A cracked tray, a failed shower valve or a leaking waste can look just the same. When the fault is elsewhere, we say so instead of resealing for the sake of it. We are often asked to deal with kitchen joints letting water behind the worktop and repeat leaks from the same joint, across botched or over-sealed joints, expansion joints and failed movement joints.
Stone-built tenements are part of every Scottish city, alongside suburban houses and modern blocks. With flats above and below, a leak from a tired seal can reach the flat underneath.
Every job comes with our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Dundee.

Bathrooms and kitchens in Woodside
Woodside is within about 2 miles of the coast. Near the coast, holiday lets and guest houses can see bathrooms used by one guest after another, which wears sealant and grout out faster than in a quiet home. 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.
If you look after a building such as Scottish School of Contemporary Dance, its toilets, changing areas and kitchens need their sealant renewed like any other building’s. Letting a property close to Dundee station? Then botched sealant from a previous quick fix is easier to strip out between tenants.

Common questions in Woodside
Do you take on hotel work around Woodside?
Yes, hotels and guest houses are among the places we work. Rooms can be done a few at a time, so the building stays open.
Do you work for landlords with property near Dundee station?
Yes. We work for letting agents and landlords as well as householders. You can drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk with the details for a clear quote.
Someone resealed my shower and it’s leaking again. Can you help?
Yes, normally. We check it’s the sealant and not the tray, valve or waste, then strip and reseal the joints.
Is it worth trying it myself?
Sometimes. The key is preparation: remove all the old material and work on a clean, dry joint. We can always put it right if it fails.
How do I get a quote for remedial sealant in Woodside?
It depends on the job, so we quote each one individually. To get one, drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk with a short description of the job.
Will there be a smell?
There can be a smell while the sealant cures. Ventilation helps.
Do you guarantee remedial jobs?
Yes. Remedial work carries the same 12-month guarantee as all our work.
Will the old sealant be removed?
Always. Sealing over old sealant is the main reason resealing fails early, so we never do it.
Should I try it myself first?
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. Silicone does not stick to old silicone, 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.
Aftercare tips
So the new joints stay in good condition:
- Keep bleach and abrasives off the bead
- Ask why a joint failed before redoing it
- Don’t wait for a small gap to become a leak
- Run the fan after every shower
Keep the room ventilated: run the fan during and after showers, or open a window.
Movement joints that have split let water into the structure, and the longer it’s left, the more the joint edges break down. A joint with sound edges is far easier to reseal.
Why act early in Woodside
Hidden water does the most damage: wet floors, stained ceilings and swollen worktops. Dealing with the joint now is a small job by comparison. For landlords in Woodside, damp and leaks can be a Repairing Standard issue, so it’s worth fixing failed sealant before a tenant reports it.
What it costs depends on how much there is to do, how hard the old material is to remove and how easy the joints are to reach. You will have a clear quote before any work starts, so you know where you stand.

The process
When we get to you, we compare the joints with what we discussed. If we find something unexpected, we talk it through with you first. Most jobs then take a few hours, depending on how many layers have to come out. Many homes in Scotland’s cities are tenement flats, reached through a shared close and up a common stair. In Woodside, it helps to know the floor, the door entry arrangements and the nearest parking.
- We protect the surfaces around the joint.
- The botched or failed sealant is cut away completely.
- The joint is degreased and checked for movement and leaks.
- New sealant goes in once the joint is dry, and is tooled smooth.
- You get the cure time and our view on why the joint failed.
Before we arrive
- Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints
- Keep children and pets away from the work area
- On commercial sites, let us know about site rules

Advice
What sealant work cannot fix
We will not take on work that won’t last, so here’s what sealant cannot put right:
- Water damage behind tiles that needs a tiler
- A bath, tray or worktop that moves until it’s properly fixed
- A cracked shower tray or bath (that needs repair or replacing)
Not sure which it is? You can send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.
