Leave it or put it right?
A failed seal rarely means a new bathroom. If the bath, tray and tiles are sound, remedial resealing usually puts it right. Where something else has failed, you’ll hear it from us. In a place like Boddam, small leaks are easy to put off, but water behind a failed seal does the most damage when nobody’s watching.
Doing several joints on one visit is usually more efficient than separate visits, so tell us about everything that needs sealing. We will send you a clear quote for the lot.

How we handle remedial sealant in Boddam
The wrong product in the wrong joint will not last, however tidy it looks. Out it comes, and in goes a sealant suited to the job. We are often asked to deal with beads that never stuck properly and caulk or the wrong sealant used in a wet area, across botched or over-sealed joints, shrunken worktop sealant and expansion joints.
A bathroom in a place like Boddam gets the same daily wear as one in a city flat. Limescale is less of a problem with Scotland’s generally soft water, but mould still takes hold in damp sealant and grout.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you’re not left on your own once the job is done.

Boddam homes and their sealant
Boddam is close to the coast. Near the coast, holiday lets and guest houses can see bathrooms used by one guest after another, and sealant and grout that work that hard wear out sooner. Scottish Water supplies are generally soft, so limescale is less of a problem than in hard-water areas. Mould is another matter: a bathroom that stays damp still turns sealant and grout black.
If you live in an older home near Dunrossness Parish Church, bathrooms in older houses have often been refitted more than once, with sealant laid over sealant.

How the visit works
Most of a good job is in the preparation, so that’s where we spend the time. Joints are cleaned back and dried before anything new goes in. In total, it generally takes a few hours for a typical bath or shower, longer where several layers have been applied. Outdoor work around Boddam depends on the weather, as sealant needs a dry surface, so an outdoor job can move if the forecast changes. Indoor work goes ahead whatever the weather.
- Surrounding tiles, trays and frames are protected first.
- The botched or failed sealant is cut away completely.
- The joint is degreased and checked for movement and leaks.
- Once dry, a suitable sealant is applied and tooled.
- You get the cure time and our view on why the joint failed.
How to prepare
- Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Let us know if you’ve seen damp or leaks

What the job involves on each surface
Windows & doors
Wrong-coloured or messy mastic can be replaced for appearance too, in a colour that suits the frame.
Worktops & kitchens
Old kitchen sealant pulls back from the wall over time. It’s cut out, degreased and resealed colour-matched to the worktop.
What we are called out for in Boddam
Sealant needs a clean, dry surface with no grease on it. Soap film, dust, damp or old residue stop it gripping, so it starts lifting sooner than it should.
People generally contact us when they notice something like this:
- Worktop sealant that has shrunk and split
- Beads that never stuck properly
- Sealant applied over old sealant that has lifted
- Torn expansion joints
In and around Boddam, as anywhere, good remedial sealant starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint.
Questions to ask before booking
- Which colour the sealant will be
- Are they insured?
- Who turns up on the day
- How the surfaces are prepared before sealing

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.
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is.
