About our remedial sealant in Kaimend
A movement joint stops working when its sealant splits or sets hard. 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 shrunken worktop sealant, failed movement joints and expansion joints, and people most often call us about dark patches showing through the sealant and sealant applied over old sealant that has lifted.
For a place like Kaimend, the job is the same as anywhere: 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.
You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Kaimend as everywhere else we work.

Common problems we fix in Kaimend
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, and tears at the first real movement. Backing sets the depth and stops that.
Keep an eye out for these signs:
- Floor or wall movement joints that have failed
- Mould trapped under a layer of silicone
- A shower that leaks however often it’s resealed
- Products that weren’t meant for the joint
For landlords with property near Carstairs station, a joint that keeps failing is best fixed properly while the property is empty.
Questions to ask before you book
- What product goes in the joint
- Whether you can choose the colour
- What preparation is included

What remedial sealant looks like in Kaimend
Private landlords in Scotland must be registered and 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. 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.
Around Kaimend, as everywhere, remedial sealant is only as good as the preparation behind it.

Worktops & kitchens
Kitchen joints hold grease and residue, so we spend extra time cleaning.
Movement & expansion joints
Some movement joints have been filled with mortar or grout. Where it can be raked out, we replace it with flexible sealant.

DIY sealant or a professional job?
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, such as a straightforward joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and does not move well, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.
The process
We keep the work tidy and contained to the joints we are treating. The job generally takes a few hours for most joints, depending on how much old sealant has to come out. Outdoor work around Kaimend depends on the weather, as sealant needs a dry surface, so external jobs may need to move if the day turns wet. Work indoors isn’t affected.
- First we find out how and where the joint has failed.
- We strip the joint completely, removing any layers below.
- We clean the joint, treat any mould and let it dry.
- We use the right backing and sealant for any joint that moves.
- The new joint is tooled neatly and we explain anything else we found.
How to prepare
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive
- Tell us about access, such as stairs, a lift or high-level joints
- Tell us about any water getting in

Can you quote for more than one area?
Yes, we can. More than one area can be quoted together.
Can old silicone be taken off without scratching the tiles?
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 is already there.
How to look after the new joints
Simple care keeps the joints in good condition. Our advice:
- Get the cause of a repeat leak found before resealing
- Never fill a movement joint with mortar or grout
- Air the bathroom so the sealant can dry
- Deal with small splits early
If we’ve found a cause, such as a loose tray or a leaking waste, get it fixed, or the new joint may fail again.
A failing joint rarely gets better on its own. Each use pushes more water behind the bead, into floors, walls or ceilings. Sorting it early limits the damage.
