Should I try it myself first?
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that is fine. We cut it out and start again, so tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.

Germiston is in one of Scotland’s four big cities, where many tenement bathrooms were fitted into rooms that weren’t built for them. Rooms like that are often small and slow to dry out, which is hard on sealant and grout.

The process
Every visit runs the same way: we look at the joints together, protect the area around them, do the work and tidy away. It usually takes a few hours for most joints, depending on how much old sealant has to come out. In a Scottish city, a lot of jobs are in tenement flats, up a common stair from a shared close. In Germiston, it helps to know the floor, the door entry arrangements and the nearest parking.
- 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.
- We reseal with a product suited to the joint, backed where needed.
- We finish neatly and point out anything that needs another trade.
Getting ready for the visit
- For business premises, tell us about site rules or sign-in

Advice
What affects the cost of remedial sealant
There’s no set price list, because no two jobs are the same. What we look at:
- The number of rooms or windows
- Any working-time requirements on site
- The number and length of the joints
- How much old sealant there is and how hard it is to remove
Commercial jobs are quoted on the same basis as homes: how much there is to do, how we reach it and what it needs, along with when we can work on site. Ask us for a quote and we’ll go through it with you.
What we need to know
There’s no need for technical detail. It helps if you can tell us:
- Roughly how big the job is
- How we’d reach the joints
- What’s wrong with the joints now
- The address or postcode of the job
Getting a quote is simple: let us know the job and the location. A few photos by email make the job easier to understand.
Aftercare tips
How long the joints last depends on use and care. Here’s what we suggest:
- Air the bathroom so the sealant can dry
- Keep bleach and abrasives off the bead
- Look for stains below bathrooms now and then
- Have loose fittings fixed before resealing
Ventilation keeps mould away from the new bead: use the extractor or open a window after showering.
A split movement joint lets rain into walls and floors, and left long enough, the edges of the joint can crumble. Resealing while the edges are sound is simpler.
For landlords and businesses
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Tell us the address, the job and how access works.
Housing providers, facilities teams and property managers book us too. Several sites can go on one quote, and we’re fully insured for the work.
What remedial sealant looks like in Germiston
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. In Scotland, private landlords have to 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.
Schools such as St. Roch's Secondary School are buildings too, and its toilets, changing areas and kitchens need their sealant renewed like any other building’s. In the older streets around Our Lady of Good Counsel Church, timber floors under older bathrooms flex, so joints need a sealant that moves with them.

What we are called out for in Germiston
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, so it tears when the joint moves. Backing sets the depth and stops that.
People usually contact us after spotting something like this:
- Worktop sealant that has shrunk and split
- Floor or wall movement joints that have failed
- Products that weren’t meant for the joint
- A shower that leaks however often it’s resealed
Rented homes near Barnhill station change hands often, and failed or mouldy sealant is worth putting right between tenancies, before it turns into a leak.
