About our remedial sealant in Rigside
Remedial jobs in Rigside normally fall into a few patterns: sealant over sealant, mould under the bead, leaks that come back and movement joints that have split. We strip each one back and start from scratch. We work on failed movement joints, leaking tray & enclosure joints and mouldy bath & shower sealant, and people most often call us about a shower that leaks however often it’s resealed and gaps opening along the back of the worktop.
In and around a place like Rigside, 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.
Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee in Rigside and across South Lanarkshire.

Different surfaces, different methods
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.
Movement & expansion joints
A movement joint must be able to stretch. Failed sealant is cut out, backing rod or tape is fitted and the joint resealed.

Keeping the joints in good condition
No joint lasts for ever, but care makes a real difference. A few tips:
- Have loose fittings fixed before resealing
- Ask why a joint failed before redoing it
- Look for stains below bathrooms now and then
- Do not point over movement joints
Go easy on the new sealant: no scraping, scouring pads or harsh chemicals.
Mould under a second layer of sealant keeps growing out of sight. When it finally shows, the whole bead needs to come out.
Remedial sealant in Rigside: local notes
Scottish Water supplies are generally soft, so limescale is less of a problem than in hard-water areas. Mould is another matter: a bathroom that stays damp still turns sealant and grout black. 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 Rigside itself or nearby, the right material for each joint matters as much as a neat finish. In and around Rigside, as anywhere, good remedial sealant starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint.

The process
Our applicators work methodically: protect, prepare, seal, tidy. For most jobs that takes a few hours for a typical bath or shower, longer where several layers have been applied, and the area is left clean. Around Rigside, distance and access matter more than parking. Tell us how to find the property and how to reach the work, and the visit is planned around that.
- 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.
- Once dry, a suitable sealant is applied and tooled.
- We give you the cure time and explain what caused the failure.
Preparing for the visit
- Clear items away from the joints we’re working on
- On commercial sites, let us know about site rules
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children

Advice
DIY sealant or a professional job?
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. New silicone won’t bond to old, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. All the old material has to come out 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.
