About our remedial sealant in Oakbank
Remedial jobs in Oakbank normally fall into a few patterns: over-sealed joints, hidden mould, repeat leaks and split movement joints. Each is stripped back and done again properly. We’re often asked to deal with sealant peeling off a dusty or damp surface and black mould underneath the bead, across expansion joints, leaking tray & enclosure joints and shrunken worktop sealant.
A bathroom in a place like Oakbank gets the same daily wear as one in a city flat. Limescale is less of a problem with Scotland’s generally soft water, but mould still takes hold in damp sealant and grout.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard.

What else we do in Oakbank
Should I try it myself first?
Not every job suits DIY: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs need the right product, the right access and the right method.
A DIY attempt does not rule out a professional job. We remove it and do the joint properly, so tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
What remedial sealant looks like in Oakbank
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. 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.
If you look after a building such as Perth High School, we reseal washrooms and kitchens in schools and businesses as well as homes.

What happens on the day
When we arrive, we start by going over the job with you, so there are no surprises. Surfaces next to the work are protected before any work begins. Most jobs take a few hours for most joints, depending on how much old sealant has to come out. Outside jobs in Oakbank need a dry day, because sealant won’t bond to a wet joint, so external jobs may need to move if the day turns wet. Work indoors is not affected.
- Surrounding tiles, trays and frames are protected first.
- The botched or failed sealant is cut away completely.
- We clean and degrease the joint and look for signs of movement or water.
- New sealant goes in once the joint is dry, and is tooled smooth.
- We give you the cure time and explain what caused the failure.
Before we arrive
- Let us know if you’ve seen damp or leaks
- Let us know about stairs, lifts or work at height
- For business premises, tell us about site rules or sign-in

Aftercare tips
To keep the joints looking good and working properly:
- Report a tray that rocks or a worktop that lifts
- Do not add new sealant on top of old
- Find out why the sealant failed first
- Keep an eye on the ceiling below the bathroom
Keep the room ventilated: use the extractor or open a window after showering.
Warning signs: peeling layers, mould showing through the bead, leaks after showering or cracks in a movement joint. Any of them means it’s time for remedial work.
When to call us in Oakbank
Silicone only bonds to surfaces that are clean and dry. Residue, moisture or dust left in the joint weaken the bond, so it starts lifting sooner than it should.
Any of these means the joints need attention:
- Sealant peeling off a dusty or damp surface
- Sealant applied over old sealant that has lifted
- Gaps opening along the back of the worktop
- Thick, messy sealant smeared over tiles
If you let a flat or house near Perth station, botched sealant from a previous quick fix is easier to strip out between tenants.

- Where the job is, and your postcode
- What’s wrong with the joints now

How the job changes by surface
Worktops & kitchens
Kitchen joints often have grease and cleaning residue deep in them, so cleaning takes longer than in a bathroom.
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.
