Remedial sealant & repairs in Ardbeg, Argyll and Bute
Problem with your failed sealant joints in Ardbeg? We remove the old material, prepare the joints and seal them properly.

How we handle remedial sealant in Ardbeg
If a joint fails again and again, something is causing it. A tray that moves, a worktop that is not fixed, the wrong sealant or water getting in elsewhere will beat any new bead. We look for the cause before we reseal. If you have leaks that keep coming back after resealing and kitchen joints letting water behind the worktop, we can put it right, whatever the surface.
Being further from a city does not change the work: old material out, joints cleaned and dried, and a fresh, even finish. We just plan the journey and access beforehand.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there’s a problem with our work within the year, let us know and we will sort it.

What we are called out for in Ardbeg
Movement tears sealant that is not designed for it. Flexing baths, rocking trays and building movement joints split any bead that’s too stiff or too thin.
Look out for any of the following:
- Beads that never stuck properly
- Repeat leaks from the same joint
- Smears and lumps from a botched reseal
- Products that weren’t meant for the joint
For jobs in and around Ardbeg, choosing the right material for each joint is as important as a tidy finish.

Remedial sealant in Ardbeg: local notes
Ardbeg is close to 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. But mould still grows into sealant and grout in a room that does not dry out.
In and around Ardbeg, as anywhere, good remedial sealant starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint.
Ardbeg is in Argyll and Bute. Ardbeg gets the same service as everywhere we cover: the old material taken out, joints prepared properly and a 12-month guarantee. Ardbeg is one of 118 towns and villages in Argyll and Bute where we work for remedial sealant. For nearby work, see our Glasgow page.
Our applicators cover all of the PA42 postcode area for remedial sealant and the streets around it. We also cover the places around Ardbeg: Port Ellen (3 miles west), Imeraval (4 miles west), Bowmore (11 miles north-west), Port Charlotte (13 miles north-west) and Keills (14 miles north). For island and remote addresses, the job takes a little more planning, so mention it when you ask for a quote.

A little further out are Dunyvaig Castle (0.8 miles south-west). Not far away are Lochan Sholum.
Keeping the joints in good condition
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Air the bathroom so the sealant can dry
- Do not point over movement joints
- Keep an eye on the ceiling below the bathroom
- Always have old sealant cut out, not covered
Leave the new joint to cure fully before it gets wet or moves: normally around 24 hours, or as long as we advise.
A split movement joint lets rain into walls and floors, and the longer it’s left, the more the joint edges break down. Resealing while the edges are sound is simpler.

How much does remedial sealant cost in Ardbeg?

Work for landlords, hotels and businesses
We also work for property managers and facilities teams. We can quote a run of properties together, and we are fully insured for the work.
We also work for businesses, from offices to washrooms and kitchens. For commercial premises, we can talk through working times when we quote.
What happens on the day
Most of a good job is in the preparation, and we do not rush it. Every joint is cleaned and dried before new material goes in. All told, the work takes a few hours, depending on how many layers have to come out. Outside jobs in Ardbeg need a dry day, because sealant won’t bond to a wet joint, so an outdoor job can move if the forecast changes. Indoor work goes ahead whatever the weather.
- First we find out how and where the joint has failed.
- We strip the joint completely, removing any layers below.
- We clean the joint, treat any mould and let it dry.
- Where the joint moves, backing and a flexible sealant suited to the movement go in.
- Finally we finish the joint and talk you through what we found.
Before we arrive
- Keep children and pets away from the work area
- Let us know about stairs, lifts or work at height
- Let us know if you’ve seen damp or leaks

DIY sealant or a professional job?
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
A DIY attempt doesn’t rule out a professional job. We cut it out and start again, so tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
