About our remedial sealant in Claverhouse
If a joint fails again and again, something is causing it. Movement, the wrong product or a leak from somewhere else will beat any new bead. We look for the cause before we reseal. We are often asked to deal with sealant applied over old sealant that has lifted and kitchen joints letting water behind the worktop, on mouldy bath & shower sealant, leaking tray & enclosure joints and failed movement joints.
Scotland’s cities have a lot of flats, from sandstone or granite tenements to modern blocks, as well as houses in the suburbs. Generally soft Scottish water means less limescale, but steam and poor ventilation still let mould into the sealant and grout.
A 12-month guarantee comes as standard, so you’re covered after we have gone.

Claverhouse homes and their sealant
Claverhouse 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. In Scotland, private landlords have to meet the Repairing Standard, which covers keeping fixtures and fittings in a reasonable state of repair. Failed sealant around a bath or shower is worth sorting between tenancies.
If you live in an older home near Mains Parish Church, timber floors under older bathrooms flex, so joints need a sealant that moves with them. Letting a property close to Dundee station? Then failed or mouldy sealant is worth putting right between tenancies, before it turns into a leak.

FAQs for Claverhouse
Could a leaking bath seal in my Claverhouse flat reach the neighbours below?
Yes, it can. In a tenement, water that gets past failed sealant or cracked grout can run under the bath or tray and through to the ceiling below, and then the repair involves your neighbours too. It’s worth sorting sealant and grout before it gets that far.

DIY sealant or a professional job?
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.
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and does not move well, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.
Different surfaces, different methods
Leaking trays & enclosures
Where the joints are the problem, every bead is stripped and resealed with anti-fungal sanitary silicone, tray edges and screen profiles included.
Over-sealed & botched joints
A thick bead smeared across tiles often hides mould or gaps. We strip it back so we can see the joint, then reseal neatly.
When to call us in Claverhouse
Even good sealant ages. Over the years it shrinks, hardens and gets colonised by mould, especially in damp, poorly aired rooms. At that point it has to come out.
These are the problems we’re asked about most:
- Kitchen joints letting water behind the worktop
- Sealant that came away because the surface wasn’t prepared
- A shower that leaks however often it’s resealed
- Over-sealed joints coming away
Schools such as Scottish School of Contemporary Dance are buildings too, and we reseal washrooms and kitchens in schools and businesses as well as homes.

How to look after the new joints
Looking after new joints is easy:
- Act on a lifting corner right away
- Air the bathroom so the sealant can dry
- Always have old sealant cut out, not covered
- Do not point over movement joints
If we have found a cause, such as a loose tray or a leaking waste, get it fixed, because the new sealant can’t hold back a problem underneath.
Mould trapped under over-sealed joints spreads unseen. When it finally shows, the whole bead needs to come out.
The process
Before we leave, we go over the finished joints with you and explain the cure time. The work normally takes a few hours, depending on how many layers have to come out, depending on how much there is to do. Parking in city streets around Claverhouse can be tight or controlled, so it helps to know about permits or nearby bays. For flats, mention the door entry system and any shared-stair arrangements.
- First we find out how and where the joint has failed.
- All the old sealant comes out, including any layers underneath.
- We clean the joint, treat any mould and let it 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.
How to prepare
- Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work
- Mention any sign-in or site rules at work premises
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive
