How we handle remedial sealant in Menzieshill
A joint that keeps failing normally has a reason. Movement, the wrong product or a leak from somewhere else will beat any new bead. Finding that cause comes before any new sealant. Typical jobs include smears and lumps from a botched reseal and sealant applied over old sealant that has lifted, across failed movement joints, botched or over-sealed joints and leaking tray & enclosure joints.
Stone-built tenements are part of every Scottish city, alongside houses and newer flats. With flats above and below, a leak from a tired seal can reach the flat underneath.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee.

Surface by surface
Over-sealed & botched joints
Botched joints sometimes have damaged edges from earlier scraping. We work carefully to avoid adding to it, and tell you about any damage we find.
Mouldy bath & shower sealant
Where mould keeps coming back, ventilation is usually part of the cause. We’ll reseal and tell you if extraction looks to be the issue.

What else we do in Menzieshill
How it works
A visit follows a simple pattern: we check the joints, protect the area around them, carry out the job and tidy away. It usually takes a few hours for a typical bath or shower, longer where several layers have been applied. For a tenement in Menzieshill, work inside your flat is between us and you, while shared parts may need the factor or neighbours to agree. Tell us which applies when you book.
- Surrounding tiles, trays and frames are protected first.
- The botched or failed sealant is cut away completely.
- The joint is degreased and checked for movement and leaks.
- New sealant goes in once the joint is dry, and is tooled smooth.
- You get the cure time and our view on why the joint failed.
Preparing for the visit
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive
- Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed
- Let us know about parking restrictions

Why deal with it now?
Hidden water does the most damage: wet floors, stained ceilings and swollen worktops. By comparison, sorting the joint is quick. Wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint on the outside of a city building, and in Menzieshill, damp can spread through stone and plaster before anyone sees it.
Every job is a little different, so each one gets its own quote. Size, access and the product the joint needs all play a part, and we will explain the quote if you ask.

When to call us in Menzieshill
Water from somewhere else can ruin a good seal. A slow leak behind the tiles soaks the joint from the back, so the silicone goes mouldy or lets go.
Most people get in touch after spotting one of these:
- Torn expansion joints
- Sealant peeling off a dusty or damp surface
- Wide, uneven beads that look worse than the old ones
- Repeat leaks from the same joint
Letting a property close to Invergowrie station? Then a joint that keeps failing is best fixed properly while the property is empty.

Can I do it myself?
If you’re set on DIY, put the effort into preparation: remove every trace of old sealant, clean and dry the joint, and follow the product’s cure time. If it does not work out, we can still put it right.
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. Silicone doesn’t stick to old silicone, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. Everything old must be removed first.
