Remedial sealant for homes and businesses in Lochboisdale
The wrong product in the wrong joint will not last, however tidy it looks. Out it comes, and in goes a sealant suited to the job. We work on leaking tray & enclosure joints, shrunken worktop sealant and failed movement joints, and people most often call us about thick, messy sealant smeared over tiles and sealant applied over old sealant that has lifted.
Being further from a city doesn’t change the work: old material out, joints cleaned and dried, and a fresh, even finish. We just plan the journey and access beforehand.
All our work is covered by our 12-month guarantee, wherever you are in Na h-Eileanan Siar.

What happens on the day
Good joint work is mostly preparation, and we do not rush it. Every joint is cleaned and dried before new material goes in. All told, the work takes a few hours for a typical bath or shower, longer where several layers have been applied. In smaller Scottish places, parking is normally less of an issue than access and distance. 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
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before
- Tell us about any water getting in
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive

DIY sealant or a professional job?
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions, and the work is guaranteed for a year.
Bathrooms and kitchens in Lochboisdale
Lochboisdale is within about 1 mile of the coast. Coastal homes, holiday lets and guest houses can see heavy bathroom use in busy months, and sealant and grout that work that hard wear out sooner. 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.
Whether the job is in Lochboisdale itself or nearby, the right material for each joint matters as much as a neat finish. In and around Lochboisdale, as anywhere, good remedial sealant starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint.

Questions from Lochboisdale
Do you cover smaller places like Lochboisdale?
Yes, Lochboisdale is covered. We work across all of Scotland, islands included, and smaller places are part of that. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
What guarantee comes with remedial sealant in Lochboisdale?
Every job comes with our one-year guarantee, wherever it is. We are also fully insured and ARBOMaster approved.
Can you strip sealant from an acrylic tray safely?
Yes. Careful removal is most of a remedial job, especially on acrylic, enamel and uPVC.
Do you work for hotels and businesses?
Yes. Larger jobs can be planned room by room or area by area.
How long does the work take?
It takes a few hours for a typical bath or shower, longer where several layers have been applied. You’ll know the timing when we quote.
Someone sealed over the old bead. Can you fix it?
Yes. We remove every layer; new silicone does not bond to old silicone, which is why over-sealing fails.
What do you put in the joint?
The product depends on the job: anti-fungal sanitary silicone in wet areas, and other sealants where joints move or face the weather. We use products from Arbo and Everbuild.
Do the sealants smell?
Sometimes, a little. Any smell clears as the sealant cures, and ventilation helps.

Aftercare tips
After the cure time, these simple habits help:
- Don’t add new sealant on top of old
- Air the bathroom so the sealant can dry
- Look for stains below bathrooms now and then
- Keep movement joints clear of mortar and paint
Do not let anyone seal over it later. Over-sealing is how many remedial jobs start, so the old bead should always come out first.
A split movement joint lets rain into walls and floors, and left long enough, the edges of the joint can crumble. Resealing while the edges are sound is simpler.
Different surfaces, different methods
Mouldy bath & shower sealant
Mould that has grown into silicone does not clean out for good. The sealant is cut out completely, the joint treated with a mould remover and dried ahead of a new anti-fungal bead.
Worktops & kitchens
If a worktop moves when you lean on it, the sealant will keep splitting. It needs fixing down first, which we’ll point out.
