What the job involves on each surface
Movement & expansion joints
Bonding on three sides is a common reason movement joints tear. Backing stops that, so the sealant grips the two sides only.
Worktops & kitchens
Old kitchen sealant pulls back from the wall over time. We strip it, degrease the joint and reseal in a colour to suit.
Remedial sealant around An Druim Beag
An Druim Beag is within about 2 miles of the coast. Coastal homes, holiday lets and guest houses can see heavy bathroom use in busy months, which wears sealant and grout out faster than in a quiet home. Private landlords in Scotland must be registered and meet the Repairing Standard, which covers keeping fixtures and fittings in a reasonable state of repair. Tired, leaking sealant is worth putting right before a new tenant moves in.
For jobs in and around An Druim Beag, choosing the right material for each joint is as important as a tidy finish.

When to call us in An Druim Beag
A lot of failed joints have been sealed over rather than replaced. Silicone doesn’t bond to silicone, so the top layer lifts and water and mould collect between the two.
These are the problems we are asked about most:
- Dark patches showing through the sealant
- A shower that leaks however often it’s resealed
- Thick, messy sealant smeared over tiles
- Kitchen joints letting water behind the worktop
In and around An Druim Beag, as anywhere, good remedial sealant starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint.

When it is not the sealant
We’d rather tell you now than do work that will not last, so these are the limits:
- Failed tanking or loose tiles behind the sealant
- Sealant in an older building that needs testing for asbestos first
- A leaking trap, valve or supply pipe

Can I do it myself?
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. New silicone will not bond to old, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. All the old material has to come out first.
If you’re set on DIY, put the effort into preparation: remove every trace of old sealant, clean and dry the joint, and follow the product’s cure time. If it fails, we can still redo it.
Questions from An Druim Beag
Will you come out to An Druim Beag?
Yes, we do. We work across all of Scotland, from towns to the smallest places. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
Is remedial sealant in An Druim Beag guaranteed?
All our work, in An Druim Beag and everywhere else, comes with a 12-month guarantee. We are also fully insured and ARBOMaster approved.
What sealant do you use?
The product depends on the job: anti-fungal sanitary silicone in wet areas, and other sealants where joints move or face the weather. We use products from Arbo and Everbuild.
Do you take out the old sealant first?
Always. Sealing over the old bead is the commonest cause of early failure, so we never do it.
Do you do commercial work?
Yes. Hotels, offices and other businesses use us and we’re fully insured.
My shower still leaks after a reseal. Can you sort it?
Yes. We’ll take all the sealant out, look for why it failed and reseal it properly.
Can you remove old sealant without damaging the bath?
Yes. Residue is removed with a product suited to the surface rather than scraped hard, so the new sealant bonds cleanly.
Where do you work from?
We are a Crawley-based firm. Our area covers South East England, London and Scotland.
Looking after it afterwards
A little care helps the new joints last. We recommend:
- Have loose fittings fixed before resealing
- Don’t add new sealant on top of old
- Air the bathroom so the sealant can dry
- Use a soft cloth, not a scourer, on silicone
Where we have pointed out another fault, have it put right, because the new sealant cannot hold back a problem underneath.
A split movement joint lets rain into walls and floors, and left long enough, the edges of the joint can crumble. A joint with sound edges is far easier to reseal.
Why act early in An Druim Beag
Adding more sealant is the usual quick fix, and it rarely works. It does not grip the old layer, leaving the leak in place and one more layer to cut out later. Out of town in Scotland, exposed walls take a lot of weather, and once water gets behind a failed joint, damp in stone or harled walls is slow to dry out.
