About our remedial sealant in Kyle of Lochalsh
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. Finding that cause comes before any new sealant. If you have leaks that keep coming back after resealing and beads that never stuck properly, we can put it right.
Across smaller places in Scotland, homes range from stone and harled cottages to newer houses. Where a building moves, cracked grout and split sealant are usually the first signs.
Each job carries a 12-month guarantee, large or small.

Keeping the joints in good condition
No joint lasts for ever, but care makes a real difference. A few tips:
- Check ceilings under showers for marks
- Keep bleach and abrasives off the bead
- Deal with small splits early
- Ask why a joint failed before redoing it
Leave the new joint to cure fully before it gets wet or moves: usually around 24 hours, or as long as we advise.
If a joint has failed more than once, stop resealing it. Have someone find out why, otherwise the next attempt will fail too.

Can I do it myself?
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. Silicone does not stick to old silicone, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. All the old material has to come out first.
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that is fine. We cut it out and start again, so just mention it when you contact us.

Leaking trays & enclosures
A shower that leaks after resealing often has a tray that moves or an enclosure sealed on the wrong side. Both are checked before we reseal.
Over-sealed & botched joints
Previous removal attempts can leave scratches or gouges. We take care not to make it worse, and tell you about any damage we find.

Kyle of Lochalsh homes and their sealant
Kyle of Lochalsh is close to the coast. Coastal homes, holiday lets and guest houses can see heavy bathroom use in busy months, which wears sealant and grout out faster than in a quiet home. 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.
For landlords with property near Kyle of Lochalsh station, a joint that keeps failing is best fixed properly while the property is empty. Schools such as Lochalsh School are buildings too, and washroom and kitchen sealant there needs the same care as at home, and schools and businesses are part of our work as well as homes.

Will there be a smell?
It depends on the product. Some products have a noticeable smell, others very little, and any smell fades as they cure.

A little longer than a standard reseal. Most jobs take a few hours, and we confirm the time with your quote.

How the visit works
All our tools and materials come with us in the van. Once we’ve agreed what’s being done, the area is protected and the work begins. Most jobs take a few hours for a typical bath or shower, longer where several layers have been applied. Outside jobs in Kyle of Lochalsh need a dry day, because sealant will not bond to a wet joint, so an outdoor job can move if the forecast changes. Work indoors isn’t affected.
- 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.
- The right product goes in, with backing where the joint moves.
- We finish neatly and point out anything that needs another trade.
Before we arrive
- Clear items away from the joints we’re working on
- Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints
- Tell us about access, such as stairs, a lift or high-level joints
