Surface by surface
Mouldy bath & shower sealant
Mould that has grown into silicone does not clean out for good. All of it comes out, and the joint is treated and dried before anti-fungal sanitary silicone goes in.
Windows & doors
Failed frame mastic is often hard, cracked and in several layers. We remove it all and clean back to sound surfaces.
Remedial sealant in Methven
Getting old sealant out properly is slow, careful work. We cut out every layer, clear the residue and degrease the surfaces, without scratching tiles, trays or frames. New sealant only bonds to a clean, dry joint. We work on expansion joints, mouldy bath & shower sealant and failed movement joints, and people most often call us about beads that never stuck properly and black mould underneath the bead.
A bathroom in a place like Methven gets the same daily wear as one in a city flat. Generally soft Scottish water means less limescale, but steam still lets mould into sealant and grout.
All our work is covered by our 12-month guarantee, wherever you are in Perth and Kinross.

What remedial sealant looks like in Methven
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. 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.
For an older house near a landmark such as Methven Parish Church and churchyard, timber floors under older bathrooms flex, so joints need a sealant that moves with them.

Can I do it myself?
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.
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.
Why it’s worth doing now in Methven
Hidden water does the most damage: wet floors, stained ceilings and swollen worktops. By comparison, sorting the joint is quick. Around Methven, water from a failed joint in an older stone home can soak into timber and plaster.
Instead of a standard rate, we price the job in front of us: the amount of work, the old material and the access. You will know the price before we begin.

What else we do in Methven
The process
We work through the job in order: protection first, then preparation, sealing and a tidy-up. Typically it takes a few hours for most joints, depending on how much old sealant has to come out. 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.
- Surrounding tiles, trays and frames are protected first.
- Every layer of failed sealant is stripped out.
- The joint is degreased and checked for movement and leaks.
- Once dry, a suitable sealant is applied and tooled.
- You get the cure time and our view on why the joint failed.
Before we arrive
- Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints
- Tell us about any water getting in
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit

What we’re called out for in Methven
Joint depth matters. A bead bonded on three sides, or laid too thick, can’t flex, and tears at the first real movement. Backing rod or bond-breaker tape prevents it.
Keep an eye out for these signs:
- Movement joints that have split or pulled away
- Kitchen joints letting water behind the worktop
- Sealant peeling off a dusty or damp surface
- A shower that leaks however often it’s resealed
In and around Methven, as anywhere, good remedial sealant starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint.
What your quote should include
- How much experience the applicator has
- How long to leave it before use
- What guarantee comes with the work

Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits:

What do you put in the joint?
