Our remedial sealant service in Aberdeen
Some sealant jobs aren’t a simple reseal, because someone has already had a go. Silicone laid over silicone, smears across tiles, the wrong product in a moving joint or mould trapped underneath all need stripping out before the joint can be done properly. Common call-outs are for sealant that came away because the surface wasn’t prepared and leaks that keep coming back after resealing, on mouldy bath & shower sealant, botched or over-sealed joints and leaking tray & enclosure joints.
When we get to you, we check the joints match what you told us. 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.
- Surrounding tiles, trays and frames are protected first.
- Every layer of failed sealant is stripped out.
- We clean and degrease the joint and look for signs of movement or water.
- New sealant goes in once the joint is dry, and is tooled smooth.
- We give you the cure time and explain what caused the failure.

Remedial sealant across Aberdeen: local notes
Aberdeen has homes of every age, old and new, with plenty of rented property in places like Rosemount, Berryden and Ferryhill. Remedial sealant keeps bathrooms and kitchens watertight and looking cared for.
The west of Scotland is wetter than the east, but outside joints take plenty of weather everywhere, while generally soft water means less limescale indoors but no less mould. Sealants for jobs in Aberdeen are chosen with that in mind. Aberdeen includes coastal places, where outside joints face more wind, rain and salt than they would inland. Walls facing the sea are usually the first to need attention.
Aberdeen: If you live in an older home near Rutherford Church And Church Hall, older homes can move a little, which is hard on rigid grout and tired sealant. Schools such as Aberdeen Grammar School are buildings too, and we reseal washrooms and kitchens in schools and businesses as well as homes.
DIY sealant or a professional job?
Some jobs are best left to a professional: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas need the right product, the right access and the right method.
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and doesn’t move well, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.
What affects the cost of remedial sealant
There’s no set price list, because jobs vary so much. What we look at:
- Whether old sealant or filler has to be cut out
- Any mould that needs treating
- The amount of work
- Any working-time requirements on site
No two jobs are quite the same, so each one gets its own quote. The number of joints, how easy they are to reach and the sealant needed all play a part.
What we need to know
Photos help, but a description is a good start. Please mention:
- How many joints, rooms or windows are involved
- Whether it has been sealed before
- Where the job is, and your postcode
- Pictures of the joints, sent by email

How the job changes by surface
Leaking trays & enclosures
Repeat shower leaks often come from a tray that flexes or an enclosure sealed in the wrong place. We check both before we reseal.
Windows & doors
Failed frame mastic is often hard, cracked and in several layers. All of it is cut out and the frame and wall cleaned before backing and resealing.
Work for landlords, hotels and businesses
We work for landlords and agents as well as homeowners. Resealing between tenancies is a simple way to keep a property in good order before the next move-in.
Housing providers, facilities teams and property managers book us too. We can quote a run of properties together, and we are fully insured.
How to look after the new joints
After the cure time, these simple habits help:
- Keep movement joints clear of mortar and paint
- Keep the room well ventilated
- Check trays and worktops do not move
- Never seal over old silicone
Clean gently: a mild cleaner and a soft cloth, with no blades or scourers.
A failing joint rarely gets better on its own. Every shower or downpour sends more water through, into floors, walls or ceilings. Sorting it early limits the damage.
Questions from Aberdeen
Will there be a smell?
It depends on the product. Some products have a noticeable smell, others very little.
When is the sealant fully cured?
Different products cure at different speeds, so please follow the time we give you.
Can failed expansion joints be resealed?
Yes. The depth is set with backing so the sealant only bonds to the two sides, which lets it stretch.
Will it make a mess?
No. We protect the surfaces around the joints, and we clear up the old sealant and our materials before we leave.
Will the old sealant be removed?
Yes, always, and completely. New silicone doesn’t stick to old silicone, so any old material comes out before anything new goes in.
What does remedial sealant cost?
The cost depends on the size of the job, access and how much old sealant has to come out. Call for a quick quote.
Are you insured?
Yes, we’re fully insured for every job we do.
