When it is not the sealant
A few problems are outside what sealant work can do:

From a single let to a portfolio, you get the same standard of work: the old material taken out, careful preparation and a 12-month guarantee.
Do you need remedial sealant in An t-Àth Leathann?
All sealant wears out eventually. Mould grows into the silicone, the surface hardens and the bead shrinks, faster where ventilation is poor. Then the only fix is removal and a new bead.
Common reasons people contact us include:
- Kitchen joints letting water behind the worktop
- A second bead peeling off the first
- Thick, messy sealant smeared over tiles
- A shower that leaks however often it’s resealed
Around An t-Àth Leathann, as everywhere, remedial sealant is only as good as the preparation behind it.

Remedial sealant around An t-Àth Leathann
An t-Àth Leathann is close to 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. But mould still grows into sealant and grout in a room that doesn’t dry out.
In the older streets around Broadford Parish Church, walls and floors in older homes can move, and sealant and grout show it first.
An t-Àth Leathann (Gaelic: Broadford) is in Highland. Jobs in An t-Àth Leathann get the same care as everywhere else we work: the old material taken out, joints prepared properly and a 12-month guarantee. Our Highland coverage runs to 253 places, An t-Àth Leathann among them.
All of IV49 is within our area for remedial sealant, from the main roads to the quietest streets. If you need remedial sealant at a property on Ionad Bhoraraig, Suisnish Place and MacLennan Place or anywhere close by, our applicators can take on the job. Nearby, we also carry out remedial sealant in Blackpark (1 mile south-east), Corry (1 mile north), Harrapul (1 mile east), Kyleakin (7 miles east) and Kyle of Lochalsh (8 miles east).

DIY versus a professional finish
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 does not work out, we can still put it right.
Some jobs are best left to a professional: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
Why act early in An t-Àth Leathann
It’s easy to scratch acrylic, enamel or an uPVC frame cutting out old sealant, and any film left behind stops new sealant sticking. Careful stripping is where most of our time goes. Around An t-Àth Leathann, water from a failed joint in an older stone home can soak into timber and plaster, which is a far bigger job than the sealant.
A few things move the cost up or down: the old material and how easily it comes out, whether mould needs treating, and whether we need extra access for height. Your quote takes all of that into account.

What we do, step by step
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. After that, the work takes a few hours for a typical bath or shower, longer where several layers have been applied. For a place like An t-Àth Leathann, longer drives are planned in advance. Tell us about tracks, gates, a ferry crossing or anything unusual about getting there.
- First we find out how and where the joint has failed.
- Every layer of old sealant is cut and cleaned out.
- Next, any mould is treated and the joint dried.
- Moving joints get backing and a flexible sealant to suit.
- We tool the joint and tell you about anything else that needs attention.
Before we arrive
- Let us know if you’ve seen damp or leaks
- Mention any sign-in or site rules at work premises
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive
