How we handle remedial sealant in Juniper Green
If a joint fails again and again, something is causing it. Movement, the wrong product or a leak from somewhere else will beat any new bead. We look for the cause before we reseal. We work on shrunken worktop sealant, failed movement joints and leaking tray & enclosure joints, and the jobs we see most are floor or wall movement joints that have failed and sealant applied over old sealant that has lifted.
In and around a place like Juniper Green, homes range from older stone-built properties to newer houses. Older buildings can move a little, and that shows first in cracked grout and split sealant.
Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee in Juniper Green and across Edinburgh.

Bathrooms and kitchens in Juniper Green
Tenement flats are common across Edinburgh, and in a tenement, a leaking seal can reach the neighbours below. 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.
If you let a flat or house near Wester Hailes station, botched sealant from a previous quick fix is easier to strip out between tenants.

There’s no need to move everything out before we come, only the area right around the joints. Everything nearby is protected, and the job takes a few hours for a typical bath or shower, longer where several layers have been applied for a typical job. Around Juniper Green, distance and access matter more than parking. Let us know how to find you and how to reach the joints, and the visit is planned around that.
- Surrounding tiles, trays and frames are protected first.
- Every layer of failed sealant is stripped out.
- We clean and degrease the joint and look for signs of movement or water.
- Once dry, a suitable sealant is applied and tooled.
- We give you the cure time and explain what caused the failure.
Before we arrive
- Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work
- Mention any parking rules near the property

Signs you need remedial sealant in Juniper Green
Using the wrong product is a common cause: caulk where it gets wet, rigid sealant where things move, or an acetoxy silicone on a surface it can mark. None of them last.
Most people get in touch when they notice one of these:
- Sealant that came away because the surface wasn’t prepared
- A shower that leaks however often it’s resealed
- A second bead peeling off the first
- Thick, messy sealant smeared over tiles
Around Juniper Green, as everywhere, remedial sealant is only as good as the preparation behind it.

Leave it or put it right?
Ripping out a bathroom is not usually needed. When the fittings are sound, stripping and resealing the joints is often enough. Where something else has failed, you’ll hear it from us. In a place like Juniper Green, small leaks are easy to put off, but water behind a failed seal does the most damage when nobody’s watching.
What it costs depends on how much there is to do, how much old material has to come out and access to the work. We give a clear quote before work begins, so you know where you stand.
What you get with us
- Old sealant always removed completely
- Trusted Arbo and Everbuild sealants
- Neat joints and a tidy finish

Do you fix expansion and movement joints?
Yes. We cut out the failed sealant, fit backing and reseal with a flexible product.
Do the sealants smell?
Sometimes, a little. Any smell clears as the sealant cures.

What the job involves on each surface
Worktops & kitchens
Kitchen joints often have grease and cleaning residue deep in them, so we spend extra time cleaning.
Movement & expansion joints
Joints filled with mortar, grout or rigid filler cannot move. Where it can be raked out, we replace it with flexible sealant.
