About our remedial sealant in Bràigh na h-Aoidhe
Removing failed sealant is the hardest part of the job. We cut out every layer, clear the residue and degrease the surfaces, without scratching tiles, trays or frames. New sealant only bonds to a clean, dry joint. We work on expansion joints, mouldy bath & shower sealant and botched or over-sealed joints, and the jobs we see most are wide, uneven beads that look worse than the old ones and caulk or the wrong sealant used in a wet area.
Being further from a city does not change the work: everything old is cut out, the joints are cleaned and dried, and new sealant or grout goes in. We just plan the journey and access beforehand.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard.

What the job involves on each surface
Leaking trays & enclosures
Repeat shower leaks often come from a tray that flexes or an enclosure sealed in the wrong place. Both are checked before any new sealant goes on.
Movement & expansion joints
Joints filled with mortar, grout or rigid filler cannot move. Where it can be raked out, we replace it with flexible sealant.

Advice
What we’re called out for in Bràigh na h-Aoidhe
Silicone only bonds to surfaces that are clean and dry. Soap film, dust, damp or old residue stop it gripping, and the joint starts to come away early.
The most common problems we see are:
- Sealant that came away because the surface wasn’t prepared
- Caulk or the wrong sealant used in a wet area
- Smears and lumps from a botched reseal
- Floor or wall movement joints that have failed
Around Bràigh na h-Aoidhe, as everywhere, remedial sealant is only as good as the preparation behind it.
What your quote should include
- What the cure time is
- Whether they’re fully insured
- How the surfaces are prepared before sealing
- Whether all the old sealant comes out first
How to look after the new joints
Good habits help new joints last longer. Our tips:
- Air the bathroom so the sealant can dry
- Find out why the sealant failed first
- Look for stains below bathrooms now and then
- Act on a lifting corner straight away
Ventilation keeps mould away from the new bead: run the fan during and after showers, or open a window.
Mould under a second layer of sealant keeps growing out of sight. When it finally shows, the whole bead needs to come out.
Why it’s worth doing now in Bràigh na h-Aoidhe
Ripping out a bathroom is not usually needed. If the bath, tray and tiles are sound, remedial resealing generally puts it right. If they’re not, we will tell you. Exposed walls in smaller Scottish places take a lot of wind and rain, and damp in stone or harled walls takes a long time to dry once water gets behind a joint.
Doing several joints on one visit is normally more efficient than separate visits, so it’s worth mentioning everything you’d like done. We’ll give you a clear quote for the lot.

Remedial sealant around Bràigh na h-Aoidhe
Bràigh na h-Aoidhe is within about 1 mile of the coast. Coastal homes, holiday lets and guest houses can see heavy bathroom use in busy months, 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. But mould still grows into sealant and grout in a room that doesn’t dry out.
Homes close to St Columba's Church include some older properties, and bathrooms in older houses have often been refitted more than once, with sealant laid over sealant.
