About our remedial sealant in Dalton
Some sealant jobs aren’t a simple reseal, because someone has already had a go. Silicone laid over silicone, smears across tiles, the wrong product in a moving joint or mould trapped underneath all need stripping out before the joint can be done properly. Typical jobs include gaps opening along the back of the worktop and floor or wall movement joints that have failed, on leaking tray & enclosure joints, expansion joints and failed movement joints.
Being further from a city doesn’t 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 12-month guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

Dalton homes and their sealant
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. 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.
Rented homes near Newton station change hands often, and failed or mouldy sealant is worth putting right between tenancies, before it turns into a leak. Schools such as High Blantyre Primary are buildings too, and 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.

We provide remedial sealant to homes and businesses in Dalton and the surrounding area, as part of our work across South Lanarkshire.

How long before the joint can be used?
That depends on the sealant used, so follow the cure time we give you when we finish.
Can you remove old sealant without damaging the bath?
Yes. We avoid heavy scraping and use the right cleaner for each surface, so the new sealant bonds cleanly.

Different surfaces, different methods
Leaking trays & enclosures
A shower that leaks after resealing often has a tray that moves or an enclosure sealed on the wrong side. We check both before we reseal.
Windows & doors
Smeared or badly matched mastic can be cut out and redone neatly, in a colour that suits the frame.

Why deal with it now?
Leaks that are left keep doing damage out of sight: wet floors, stained ceilings and swollen worktops. Dealing with the joint now is a small job by comparison. In a place like Dalton, small leaks are easy to put off, but water behind a failed seal does the most damage when nobody’s watching.
Homes and businesses are quoted the same way: the amount of work, the access and the products needed. Ask us for a quote and we will explain what it covers.

Keeping the joints in good condition
No joint lasts for ever, but care makes a real difference. Our tips:
- Get the cause of a repeat leak found before resealing
- Don’t point over movement joints
- Report a tray that rocks or a worktop that lifts
- Do not add new sealant on top of old
If we’ve found a cause, such as a loose tray or a leaking waste, get it fixed, or the new joint may fail again.
Signs to act on: sealant lifting at the ends, a second bead visible on top of the first, black mould under the silicone, or stains below a bathroom. Each one is worth getting looked at.
