Remedial sealant in Midlothian: how it works

Remedial jobs in Midlothian normally fall into a few patterns: over-sealed joints, hidden mould, repeat leaks and split movement joints. Each is stripped back and done again properly. We work on shrunken worktop sealant, leaking tray & enclosure joints and botched or over-sealed joints, and the jobs we see most are dark patches showing through the sealant and a second bead peeling off the first.

On the day, we start by going over the job with you. We protect the surfaces around the joints before any work starts. The work normally takes a few hours, depending on how many layers have to come out.

We look at how the sealant has failed and check for movement or a leak path.
We strip the joint completely, removing any layers below.
The joint is cleaned, treated for mould and left to dry.
Moving joints get backing and a flexible sealant to suit.
Finally we finish the joint and talk you through what we found.

Doing several joints on one visit normally makes better use of the time than several visits, so tell us about everything that needs sealing. You will get one clear quote for the whole job.

Landmarks near Bonnyrigg

Typical jobs here are in homes near Bonnyrigg Parish Church, Lasswade High School Centre and Public Library. The nearest railway station is Eskbank station, roughly 1.1 miles north-east. Other landmarks nearby include Dalhousie Castle (1.2 miles south-east) and Midlothian Community Hospital (0.8 miles north-east). Green spaces nearby include The New Leaf Co-op and Edgelaw Reservoir.

Where we work in Midlothian

Midlothian has homes of every age, old and new, and in places like Bonnyrigg, Dalkeith and Penicuik there’s plenty of rented property too. Remedial sealant keeps bathrooms and kitchens watertight and looking cared for.

Scottish weather is hard on outside joints, especially in the wetter west, while generally soft water means less limescale indoors but no less mould. That shapes the choice of sealant for jobs across Midlothian. Along the coast in Midlothian, holiday lets and guest houses can have bathrooms in near-constant use, so their sealant and grout wear faster than most.

Bonnyrigg: If you let a flat or house near Eskbank station, botched sealant from a previous quick fix is easier to strip out between tenants. For an older house near a landmark such as Bonnyrigg Parish Church, bathrooms in older houses have often been refitted more than once, with sealant laid over sealant.

Why deal with it now?

Adding more sealant is the usual quick fix, and it rarely works. It does not grip the old layer, so the leak carries on and there’s now more to remove.

Whether the sealant suits the joint
Who does the work, and how experienced they are
What guarantee comes with the work
How the surfaces are prepared before sealing

What affects the cost of remedial sealant

The quote reflects the job in front of us. We look at:

How many rooms, windows or areas are involved
Which sealant suits the joint
Whether old sealant or filler has to be cut out
How much there is to do

Instead of a standard rate, we look at what your job involves: how many joints, what’s in them now and how we reach them. You’ll know the price before we begin.

What we need to know

To make quoting easier, please include:

If someone has resealed it before
How we’d reach the joints
Pictures of the joints, sent by email
The problem you’ve noticed

Asking for a quote is easy: tell us what needs doing and where, and roughly how big it is. Photos by email help us understand the job.

How the job changes by surface

Movement & expansion joints

Movement joints in floors, walls and façades need a flexible sealant set to the right depth. Failed sealant is cut out, backing rod or tape is fitted and the joint resealed.

Leaking trays & enclosures

If the tray is cracked, or the leak is from the valve or waste, sealant will not fix it. We say so rather than reseal.

Work for landlords, hotels and businesses

Housing providers, facilities teams and property managers book us too across Midlothian. Several sites can go on one quote, and we are fully insured.

Hotels need rooms back in use, so we plan the work room by room around your bookings where we can. We’ve worked in hotels as well as homes and businesses.

What we are called out for in Midlothian

Even good sealant ages. Mould grows into the silicone, the surface hardens and the bead shrinks. Then the only fix is removal and a new bead.

Most people get in touch after spotting something like this:

Decorators’ caulk around a bath or shower
Movement joints that have split or pulled away
Sealant peeling off a dusty or damp surface
Dark patches showing through the sealant

Midlothian: your questions answered

When is the sealant fully cured?

It depends on the product and the conditions. Before we leave, we’ll tell you the cure time.

Is remedial work guaranteed?

Yes. Our one-year guarantee covers the work.

Do you have insurance?

Yes. Full insurance covers our work.

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.

What if resealing won’t fix my leak?

We will tell you. If it’s a cracked tray, a failed valve or a leaking waste, resealing won’t fix it, and we won’t reseal for the sake of it.

Will the old sealant be removed?

Always. Sealing over old sealant is the main reason resealing fails early, so we never do it.

What sealant do you use?

It depends on the joint: anti-fungal sanitary silicone in wet areas, and other sealants where joints move or face the weather. Brands we use include Arbo and Everbuild.
