About remedial sealant in North Lanarkshire

Decorators’ caulk in a shower, bathroom silicone on a window, a rigid filler in a movement joint will not last, however tidy it looks. We take it out and use a sealant made for that joint. We work on mouldy bath & shower sealant, shrunken worktop sealant and botched or over-sealed joints, and people most often call us about sealant that came away because the surface wasn’t prepared and a shower that leaks however often it’s resealed.

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 for most joints, depending on how much old sealant has to come out.

We start by checking the joint for movement, leaks and the reason it failed.
Every layer of old sealant is cut and cleaned out.
Next, any mould is treated and the joint dried.
Where the joint moves, backing and a flexible sealant suited to the movement go in.
We tool the joint and tell you about anything else that needs attention.

Bathrooms and kitchens across North Lanarkshire

Our remedial sealant work across North Lanarkshire covers homes, rentals and businesses, from Motherwell, Cumbernauld and Coatbridge to the quieter places in between. The method is the same everywhere: old material cut out, joints cleaned and dried, and a fresh finish laid.

We work across all of Scotland, from the cities to the islands, and North Lanarkshire is part of that. Journeys are planned ahead, and outside jobs are booked around the forecast.

Motherwell: If you let a flat or house near Motherwell station, botched sealant from a previous quick fix is easier to strip out between tenants. If you live in an older home near Dalziel High Parish Church, walls and floors in older homes can move, and sealant and grout show it first.

Honest limits

It helps to know what we cannot do:

Tiles that have come away from the wall
Cracks in the fitting rather than the joint
A tray or worktop that needs refixing first

Why deal with it now?

Remedial work takes longer than a straight reseal, but rarely a lot: it takes a few hours for a typical bath or shower, longer where several layers have been applied. It’s far less disruption than resealing the same joint again and again.

Questions to ask before booking

Whether they seal over old material or remove it
How hidden problems are handled
Who does the work, and how experienced they are
Whether the sealant suits the joint

Surface by surface

Windows & doors

Some leaks around windows come from the wall or the window itself. If the frame joint isn’t the cause, we’ll say so.

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.

Looking after it afterwards

No joint lasts for ever, but care makes a real difference. A few tips:

Keep an eye on the ceiling below the bathroom
Never fill a movement joint with mortar or grout
Ask why a joint failed before redoing it
Report a tray that rocks or a worktop that lifts

Clean gently: a mild cleaner and a soft cloth, with no blades or scourers.

Mould trapped under over-sealed joints spreads unseen. By the time it shows through, the joint is well past saving.

DIY versus a professional finish

A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.

Not every job suits DIY: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas need the right product, the right access and the right method.

North Lanarkshire questions

Is it worth trying it myself?

That depends on the joint. Work at height, movement joints, fire-rated gaps and large areas are best left to a professional, while a short indoor joint may be within reach.

Do you work for letting agents?

Yes, we do. Domestic, commercial and hotel work are all part of what we do.

Do I have to be there?

If the work is inside, we need someone to let us in. Once we’ve agreed the job, you don’t need to watch us work.

What do you need from me for a quote?

The location, the problem and the rough size of the job. If you can, email a few photos.

Can you work on commercial sites?

Yes, regularly. We can plan bigger jobs in stages.

Can old silicone be taken off without scratching the tiles?

Yes, with care. We cut and lift the old sealant with tools suited to the surface, then clean off the residue. Any existing damage is pointed out before any work starts.

Do you hold any approvals?

Yes. We’re an ARBOMaster approved applicator, which is run for the Arbo sealant brand.
