How it works
Our applicators work methodically: protect, prepare, seal, tidy.

Tell us about tracks, gates, a ferry crossing or anything unusual about getting there.
- The failure is looked at first, so we know whether it’s sealant, movement or water from elsewhere.
- Each layer is cut out and the residue cleaned off.
- We treat any mould and dry the joint thoroughly.
- The right product goes in, with backing where the joint moves.
- We finish neatly and point out anything that needs another trade.
Before we arrive
- Keep children and pets away from the work area
- Tell us about any previous sealing or DIY attempts
- For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can

How we handle remedial sealant in Fintry

Keeping the joints in good condition
To keep the joints looking good and working properly:
- Keep bleach and abrasives off the bead
- Have loose fittings fixed before resealing
- Always have old sealant cut out, not covered
- Air the bathroom so the sealant can dry
Ventilation keeps mould away from the new bead: use the extractor or open a window after showering.
Warning signs: 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.

Fintry questions
Will you come out to Fintry?
Yes, we do. We work across all of Scotland, from towns to the smallest places. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
Is there a guarantee on remedial sealant in Fintry?
Every job comes with our one-year guarantee, wherever it is. We’re fully insured, and an ARBOMaster approved applicator.
Can you reseal a split movement joint?
Yes. Failed movement joints are cut out and resealed with backing and a flexible sealant suited to the movement.
Someone sealed over the old bead. Can you fix it?
Yes. We remove every layer; new silicone doesn’t bond to old silicone, which is why over-sealing fails.
Where are you based?
We are based in Crawley, and we work across South East England, London and Scotland.
Can you work on commercial sites?
Yes. Commercial and hotel work is a large part of what we do. Working times can be discussed when we quote.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are glad to have it sorted.
Can you strip sealant from an acrylic tray safely?
Yes. We take our time over removal, especially on acrylic, enamel and uPVC.
Common problems we fix in Fintry
Some joints fail because water is reaching them from behind. A leaking valve, a failed waste or cracked grout feeds water behind the bead, so the silicone goes mouldy or lets go.
Any of these means the joints need attention:
- Decorators’ caulk around a bath or shower
- Leaks that keep coming back after resealing
- Dark patches showing through the sealant
- Sealant applied over old sealant that has lifted
Around Fintry, as everywhere, remedial sealant is only as good as the preparation behind it.
Questions to ask before booking
- How much experience the applicator has
- How the colour is chosen
- When the joint can take water or movement
- What guarantee comes with the work
Why it’s worth doing now in Fintry
A failed seal rarely means a new bathroom. When the fittings are sound, stripping and resealing the joints is often enough. If they’re not, we will tell you. Around Fintry, water from a failed joint in an older stone home can soak into timber and plaster.
Combining jobs into one visit usually makes better use of the time than several visits, so tell us about everything that needs sealing. You’ll get one clear quote for the whole job.

DIY versus a professional finish
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
Some jobs are best left to a professional: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas call for the right materials, safe access and experience.

Fintry homes and their sealant
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. 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 does not dry out.
Homes close to Old Fintry Parish Church include some older properties, and timber floors under older bathrooms flex, so joints need a sealant that moves with them.
