What affects the quote in Drem
Your quote is based on your job. We look at:
- When we can work, for business premises
- The number and length of the joints
- Mould in or behind the old joints
- How much old sealant there is and how hard it is to remove
A few things move the cost up or down: how much old sealant there is and how stubborn it is, whether mould needs treating, and whether we need extra access for height. Your quote takes all of that into account.
Helping us quote
When you contact us, it’s useful to know:
- The type of property
- Access, such as stairs, a lift or height
- Where the job is, and your postcode
- Photos by email, if that is easy
The more we know about the job, the more useful the quote. Tell us where the job is, what’s wrong and how much there is, and add pictures by email if you can.
About our remedial sealant in Drem
Not every leak is a sealant leak. A cracked tray, a failed shower valve or a leaking waste can look just the same. When the fault is elsewhere, we say so instead of resealing for the sake of it. If you are dealing with a second bead peeling off the first and decorators’ caulk around a bath or shower, we can help.
Being further from a city does not change the work: old material out, joints cleaned and dried, and a fresh, even finish. The journey and access are simply planned in advance.
Each job carries a 12-month guarantee.

What we are called out for in Drem
A lot of failed joints have been sealed over rather than replaced. Silicone doesn’t bond to silicone, so the top layer lifts and water and mould collect between the two.
Common reasons people contact us are:
- Floor or wall movement joints that have failed
- Over-sealed joints coming away
- Leaks that keep coming back after resealing
- Wide, uneven beads that look worse than the old ones
Letting a property close to Drem station? Then failed or mouldy sealant is worth putting right between tenancies, before it turns into a leak.

Advice
Looking after it afterwards
After the cure time, these simple habits help:
- Keep an eye on the ceiling below the bathroom
- Keep bleach and abrasives off the bead
- Deal with small splits early
- Ask why a joint failed before redoing it
Keep the room ventilated: use the extractor or open a window after showering.
Mould trapped under over-sealed joints spreads unseen. By the time it shows through, the joint is well past saving.
What remedial sealant looks like in Drem
Drem is within about 3 miles of the coast. Near the coast, holiday lets and guest houses can see bathrooms used by one guest after another, which wears sealant and grout out faster than in a quiet home. In Scotland, private landlords have to meet the Repairing Standard, which includes keeping fixtures and fittings in reasonable repair. Failed sealant around a bath or shower is worth sorting between tenancies.
Around Drem, as everywhere, remedial sealant is only as good as the preparation behind it.

Should I try it myself first?
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. New silicone will not bond to old, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. Everything old must be removed first.
If you do try it yourself, take your time over the preparation: take out all the old sealant, make sure the joint is clean and dry, and give it the full cure time. If it fails, we can still redo it.
What happens if it’s left?
Spraying mould remover on a sealed-over joint does not reach what’s underneath. Removal is the only way to get at it, and the joint treated and dried before resealing. In a place like Drem, small leaks are easy to put off, but water through a failed joint keeps working away until it’s fixed.
There are no prices on our website, because the cost depends so much on the job itself. Call for a quick quote and we’ll talk you through it.
