Remedial sealant in Hatton of Fintray, done properly
Getting old sealant out properly is slow, careful work. Every layer is cut out, the residue cleaned off and the joint degreased, taking care not to scratch the surfaces around it. New sealant only bonds to a clean, dry joint. We’re often asked to deal with repeat leaks from the same joint and movement joints that have split or pulled away, across mouldy bath & shower sealant, botched or over-sealed joints and shrunken worktop sealant.
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.
Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by our 12-month guarantee.

If the work is inside, we need someone to let us in. Once we’ve agreed the job, you don’t need to watch us work.
Should I try DIY first?

What we do, step by step
We keep the work tidy and contained to the area we are working on. Expect the work to take a few hours for a typical bath or shower, longer where several layers have been applied, and we tell you how long to leave it before we go. Outdoor work around Hatton of Fintray depends on the weather, as sealant needs a dry surface, so external jobs may need to move if the day turns wet. Work indoors is not affected.
- First we work out whether the problem is the sealant, movement or a leak.
- Old beads and residue are removed down to clean surfaces.
- 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.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us about any water getting in
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before
- On commercial sites, let us know about site rules

Related advice
Different surfaces, different methods
Mouldy bath & shower sealant
Where mould keeps coming back, ventilation is usually part of the cause. Along with resealing, we will mention if the room needs better ventilation.
Windows & doors
Frames resealed over the top end up with hard, layered mastic. We remove it all and clean back to sound surfaces before backing and resealing.

Remedial sealant in Hatton of Fintray: local notes
Scotland’s water is generally soft, so sealant and grout see less limescale than in much of England. But mould still grows into sealant and grout in a room that doesn’t dry out. 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.
For an older house near a landmark such as Old Parish Church, older homes can move a little, which is hard on rigid grout and tired sealant.

How to look after the new joints
Simple care keeps the joints in good condition. We recommend:
- Get the cause of a repeat leak found before resealing
- Air the bathroom so the sealant can dry
- Don’t add new sealant on top of old
- Use a soft cloth, not a scourer, on silicone
Keep the room ventilated: run the fan during and after showers, or open a window.
Don’t keep resealing the same joint. Have someone find out why, or the next bead will go the same way.
When to call us in Hatton of Fintray
Sealant needs a clean, dry surface with no grease on it. Residue, moisture or dust left in the joint weaken the bond, and the joint starts to come away early.
It’s worth asking for a quote if you see:
- Sealant applied over old sealant that has lifted
- Gaps opening along the back of the worktop
- Sealant that came away because the surface wasn’t prepared
- Smears and lumps from a botched reseal
For landlords with property near Kintore station, botched sealant from a previous quick fix is easier to strip out between tenants.
Before booking anyone
- Is the old sealant removed completely?
- What happens if the job turns out different
- Whether the sealant suits the joint
- How much experience the applicator has

DIY sealant or a professional job?
If you are set on DIY, put the effort into preparation: remove every trace of old sealant, clean and dry the joint, and follow the product’s cure time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still put it right.
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, such as a straightforward joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.
