Our remedial sealant service in East Renfrewshire
Two decades of sealant work means we recognise most failures quickly. We’re ARBOMaster approved and fully insured, and remedial work carries our one-year guarantee. Typical jobs include floor or wall movement joints that have failed and gaps opening along the back of the worktop, across leaking tray & enclosure joints, shrunken worktop sealant and expansion joints.
All our tools and materials come with us in the van. After a quick look at the joints together, we protect the area and start. It normally takes a few hours, depending on how many layers have to come out.
- Surrounding tiles, trays and frames are protected first.
- The botched or failed sealant is cut away completely.
- 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.
- You get the cure time and our view on why the joint failed.
What you will pay
Combining jobs into one visit normally makes better use of the time than several visits, so it’s worth mentioning everything you’d like done. We will give you a clear price for the lot.

We work across all of Scotland, from the cities to the islands, and East Renfrewshire is part of that. Longer journeys are planned in advance, and outdoor work around the weather.
Newton Mearns: Rented homes near Patterton station change hands often, and botched sealant from a previous quick fix is easier to strip out between tenants. Schools such as Mearns Castle High School are buildings too, and its toilets, changing areas and kitchens need their sealant renewed like any other building’s.
Should I try it myself first?
A DIY attempt doesn’t rule out a professional job. We cut it out and start again.
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.
Looking after it afterwards
Aftercare is simple:
- Never fill a movement joint with mortar or grout
- Never seal over old silicone
- Look for stains below bathrooms now and then
- Run the fan after every shower
Clean gently: no scraping, scouring pads or harsh chemicals.
If a joint has failed more than once, stop resealing it. Get the cause found first, or the next bead will go the same way.
What happens if it’s left?
Stripping out botched sealant adds time to a reseal, but not by much: it takes a few hours for most joints, depending on how much old sealant has to come out. Compared with chasing the same leak every few months, it’s time well spent.
What your quote should include
- How the surfaces are prepared before sealing
- Whether they seal over old material or remove it
- Whether you can choose the colour
- What product goes in the joint
