What happens on the day
There’s no need to move everything out before we come, only the area right around the joints. Everything nearby is protected, and the work takes a few hours for a typical bath or shower, longer where several layers have been applied in most cases. For a place like Askomill, longer drives are planned in advance. Tell us about tracks, gates, a ferry crossing or anything unusual about getting there.
- We look at how the sealant has failed and check for movement or a leak path.
- Every layer of old sealant is cut and cleaned out.
- The joint is cleaned, treated for mould and left to dry.
- We use the right backing and sealant for any joint that moves.
- We tool the joint and tell you about anything else that needs attention.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us if parking is tricky
- Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work

Remedial sealant in Askomill
Removing failed sealant is the hardest part of the job. We cut out every layer, clear the residue and degrease the surfaces, taking care not to scratch the surfaces around it. New sealant only bonds to a clean, dry joint. We work on botched or over-sealed joints, mouldy bath & shower sealant and expansion joints, and people most often call us about leaks that keep coming back after resealing and thick, messy sealant smeared over tiles.
Across smaller places in Scotland, homes range from stone and harled cottages to newer houses. Where a building moves, cracked grout and split sealant are usually the first signs.
Our work is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you are.

Should I try it myself first?
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and does not move well, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that’s fine. We cut it out and start again, so tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Askomill
Water getting past a failed joint can damage the building, which matters even more when someone else lives there. Keeping joints in good order is simple maintenance.
Letting agents and landlords in Askomill can book us as well as householders. Resealing between tenancies keeps a property looking cared for before the next move-in.
Leave it or put it right?
Mould under a bead can’t be reached by cleaning. The layers have to come out, and the joint treated and dried before resealing. Around Askomill, water from a failed joint in an older stone home can soak into timber and plaster, which is a far bigger job than the sealant.
Some things make a job bigger or smaller: the old material and how easily it comes out, any mould to treat, and whether the work is at height. We take all of that into account in your quote.
Why us?
- Anti-fungal sanitary silicone in wet areas
- Old sealant always removed completely
- 20+ years of sealant experience
- One-year guarantee on every job

Askomill homes and their sealant
Askomill is close to the coast. Coastal homes, holiday lets and guest houses can see heavy bathroom use in busy months, which wears sealant and grout out faster than in a quiet home. Private landlords in Scotland must be registered and meet the Repairing Standard, which includes keeping fixtures and fittings in reasonable repair. Tired, leaking sealant is worth putting right before a new tenant moves in.
Whether the job is in Askomill itself or nearby, the right material for each joint matters as much as a neat finish.

Different surfaces, different methods
Over-sealed & botched joints
Previous removal attempts can leave scratches or gouges. We work carefully to avoid adding to it, and point out any existing damage.
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.
