Inverinan Remedial Sealant
Problem with your failed sealant joints in Inverinan? We cut out the old, prepare the joints and apply the right sealant.
- Sealant peeling off a dusty or damp surface
- Movement joints that have split or pulled away
- Caulk or the wrong sealant used in a wet area
Remedial sealant for homes and businesses in Inverinan
Movement and expansion joints fail when the sealant can’t stretch. We cut out the failed sealant and set the depth with backing, before resealing with a flexible product suited to the movement. We work on mouldy bath & shower sealant, expansion joints and leaking tray & enclosure joints, and common reasons people get in touch are sealant peeling off a dusty or damp surface and products that weren’t meant for the joint.
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.
Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by our one-year guarantee in Inverinan and across Argyll and Bute.

Aftercare tips
So the new joints stay in good condition:
- Keep movement joints clear of mortar and paint
- Don’t add new sealant on top of old
- Use a soft cloth, not a scourer, on silicone
- Have loose fittings fixed before resealing
Do not let anyone seal over it later. New silicone does not bond to old, so the old bead should always come out first.
Movement joints that have split let water into the structure, and left long enough, the edges of the joint can crumble. Resealing while the edges are sound is simpler.
What the job involves on each surface
Windows & doors
Frames resealed over the top end up with hard, layered mastic. All of it is cut out and the frame and wall cleaned before backing and resealing.
Over-sealed & botched joints
Every layer has to come out, and silicone residue is cleaned off the tiles too. Only a clean joint will take a new bead.
The process
Good joint work is mostly preparation, so that is where we spend the time. Every joint is cleaned and dried before new material goes in. All told, the work takes a few hours for most joints, depending on how much old sealant has to come out. Somewhere like Inverinan may be a longer drive, and the journey is planned ahead. Tell us about tracks, gates, a ferry crossing or anything unusual about getting there.
- We protect the surfaces around the joint.
- The botched or failed sealant is cut away completely.
- The joint is degreased and checked for movement and leaks.
- Once dry, a suitable sealant is applied and tooled.
- We give you the cure time and explain what caused the failure.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know about parking restrictions
- Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints
- Tell us about access, such as stairs, a lift or high-level joints

What else we do in Inverinan
Why act early in Inverinan
A failed seal rarely means a new bathroom. If the bath, tray and tiles are sound, remedial resealing generally puts it right. Where something else has failed, you will hear it from us. In an older home around Inverinan, damp from a failed joint can get into timber and plaster, which is a far bigger job than the sealant.
There are no prices on our website, because the cost depends so much on the job itself. Call for a quick quote.

Common questions in Inverinan
Will you come out to Inverinan?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Our work covers the whole of Scotland. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Is there a guarantee on remedial sealant in Inverinan?
Every job comes with our 12-month guarantee, wherever it is. We’re also fully insured and ARBOMaster approved.
Can you work on commercial sites?
Yes. Hotels, offices and other businesses use us and we’re fully insured.
Do you take out the old sealant first?
Yes, always, and completely. New sealant will not bond properly to old, so the joint is cleaned back first.
Can I choose the sealant colour?
Yes. Sealants come in white, clear, grey and other colours, and we will agree it with you first.
Do you have insurance?
Yes. We’re fully insured for domestic and commercial work.
Can you fix a reseal that hasn’t worked?
Yes. All the sealant comes out, we find out why it failed, and the joint is resealed properly.
Can you strip sealant from an acrylic tray safely?
Yes, with care. We cut and lift the old sealant with tools suited to the surface, and the residue is cleaned away. We point out any damage that’s already there.
Common problems we fix in Inverinan
One of the commonest remedial jobs is sealant on top of sealant. New silicone can’t stick to the old bead, so the top layer lifts and water and mould collect between the two.
These are the problems we’re asked about most:
- Black mould underneath the bead
- Kitchen joints letting water behind the worktop
- Movement joints that have split or pulled away
- A second bead peeling off the first
In and around Inverinan, as anywhere, good remedial sealant starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint.

DIY sealant or a professional job?
A DIY attempt does not rule out a professional job. We cut it out and start again, so just mention it when you contact us.
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is, and the work is guaranteed for a year.
Inverinan homes and their sealant
In Scotland, private landlords have to meet the Repairing Standard, which covers keeping fixtures and fittings in a reasonable state of 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. Mould is another matter: a bathroom that stays damp still turns sealant and grout black.
For jobs in and around Inverinan, choosing the right material for each joint is as important as a tidy finish.
