Remedial sealant for homes and businesses in Lintmill
A joint that keeps failing normally has a reason. Movement, the wrong product or a leak from somewhere else will defeat even a perfect bead. We look for the cause before we reseal. We’re often asked to deal with wide, uneven beads that look worse than the old ones and torn expansion joints, across botched or over-sealed joints, mouldy bath & shower sealant and shrunken worktop sealant.
In and around a place like Lintmill, 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.
Your job is guaranteed for a year, as with all our work.

FAQs for Lintmill
Is remedial sealant in Lintmill guaranteed?
All our work, in Lintmill and everywhere else, comes with a 12-month guarantee. We are also fully insured and ARBOMaster approved.
Do you cover smaller places like Lintmill?
Yes, we do. Our work covers the whole of Scotland, and smaller places are part of that. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
Do you have insurance?
Yes, we are fully insured for domestic and commercial work.
Do you remove the old sealant?
Yes, every time. New silicone doesn’t stick to old silicone, so the joint is cleaned back first.
Can landlords and businesses book you?
Yes, often. We can quote for several properties at once, and between tenancies is a good time for the work.
My shower still leaks after a reseal. Can you sort it?
Yes. We will take all the sealant out, look for why it failed and reseal it properly.
Which products do you use?
Products from Arbo and Everbuild, among others, picked for each joint. We explain the product when we quote.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
When to call us in Lintmill
Some joints fail because water is reaching them from behind. A slow leak behind the tiles soaks the joint from the back, and the sealant lifts or goes mouldy from underneath.
Most people get in touch when they notice something like this:
- Beads that never stuck properly
- Wide, uneven beads that look worse than the old ones
- Black mould underneath the bead
- Products that weren’t meant for the joint
Around Lintmill, as everywhere, remedial sealant is only as good as the preparation behind it.

What the job involves on each surface
Over-sealed & botched joints
Botched joints sometimes have damaged edges from earlier scraping. We take care not to make it worse, and point out any existing damage.
Worktops & kitchens
Kitchen joints hold grease and residue, so we spend extra time cleaning.

Remedial sealant in Lintmill: local notes
Lintmill is within about 2 miles of 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. Scottish Water supplies are generally soft, so limescale is less of a problem than in hard-water areas. But mould still grows into sealant and grout in a room that does not dry out.
Homes close to St Mary's Collegiate Church include some older properties, and bathrooms in older houses have often been refitted more than once, with sealant laid over sealant.
Lintmill is about 6 miles east of Buckie, in Moray. Jobs in Lintmill get the same care as everywhere else we work: the old material taken out, joints prepared properly and a 12-month guarantee. Lintmill is one of 58 places in Moray we cover for remedial sealant. For nearby work, see our Aberdeen page.

Looking after it afterwards
How long the joints last depends on use and care. Here’s what we suggest:
- Have loose fittings fixed before resealing
- Air the bathroom so the sealant can dry
- Check ceilings under showers for marks
- Always have old sealant cut out, not covered
Go easy on the new sealant: no scraping, scouring pads or harsh chemicals.
Leaks through failed sealant grow over time. Every shower or downpour sends more water through, into whatever is behind or below. Sorting it early limits the damage.
DIY versus a professional finish
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions.
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.
What happens on the day
Every visit runs the same way: we look at the joints together, protect the area around them, do the work and clear up. Most jobs take a few hours for most joints, depending on how much old sealant has to come out. Outdoor work around Lintmill depends on the weather, as sealant needs a dry surface, so external jobs may need to move if the day turns wet. Indoor work goes ahead whatever the weather.
- The failure is looked at first, so we know whether it’s sealant, movement or water from elsewhere.
- Old beads and residue are removed down to clean surfaces.
- Mould is treated and the joint dried.
- The right product goes in, with backing where the joint moves.
- The joint is tooled and you are told about anything else we found.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us about any water getting in
- Mention any tricky access
- Keep children and pets away from the work area
