One of two things has happened here:

1. You did not clean all the old sealer off the first time and therefore the new sealer cannot get into that area
2. When they applied the new sealer they have not sealed it properly.

The spotting is being caused by either the cleaning not being done correctly or their wrong application of the sealer. You need to decide what has gone wrong and then sort it! Either clean it again or seal it properly!
