When to call us in Crosshouse
How a joint is built matters as much as the product. Sealant packed too deep, or stuck to the back of the joint as well as the sides, cannot stretch, and tears at the first real movement. Backing rod or bond-breaker tape prevents it.
Any of these means the joints need attention:
- Floor or wall movement joints that have failed
- Smears and lumps from a botched reseal
- Decorators’ caulk around a bath or shower
- Mould trapped under a layer of silicone
For landlords with property near Kilmaurs station, botched sealant from a previous quick fix is easier to strip out between tenants.

Looking after it afterwards
Looking after new joints is easy:
- Run the fan after every shower
- Check trays and worktops do not move
- Clean sealant with mild products only
- Deal with small splits early
Leave the new joint to cure fully before it gets wet or moves: follow the cure time we give you.
Do not keep resealing the same joint. Have someone find out why, or the next bead will go the same way.
For landlords and businesses
We also work for businesses, from offices to washrooms and kitchens. On commercial sites, working times can be discussed when we quote.
Mouldy or split sealant often shows up at the end of a tenancy. We can quote for more than one property at once.
Surface by surface
Movement & expansion joints
Some movement joints have been filled with mortar or grout. Where it can be raked out, we replace it with flexible sealant.
Leaking trays & enclosures
If the tray is cracked, or the leak is from the valve or waste, sealant won’t fix it. We say so rather than reseal.
DIY versus a professional finish
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, such as a straightforward joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.

Bathrooms and kitchens in Crosshouse
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. Scotland’s water is generally soft, so sealant and grout see less limescale than in much of England. Mould is another matter: a bathroom that stays damp still turns sealant and grout black.
In the older streets around Crosshouse Parish Church, bathrooms in older houses have often been refitted more than once, with sealant laid over sealant. If you look after a building such as Grange Academy, washroom and kitchen sealant there needs the same care as at home, and schools and businesses are part of our work as well as homes.
