Remedial sealant in Tom nan Ragh, done properly
Getting old sealant out properly is slow, careful work. We cut out every layer, clear the residue and degrease the surfaces, taking care not to scratch the surfaces around it. New sealant only bonds to a clean, dry joint. If you have caulk or the wrong sealant used in a wet area and dark patches showing through the sealant, we can put it right.
A bathroom in a place like Tom nan Ragh 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.
All our work comes with a 12-month guarantee.

What remedial sealant looks like in Tom nan Ragh
Tom nan Ragh is close to the coast. Near the coast, holiday lets and guest houses can see bathrooms used by one guest after another, and sealant and grout that work that hard wear out sooner. 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.
Homes close to St Munn's Parish Church include some older properties, and timber floors under older bathrooms flex, so joints need a sealant that moves with them. Around Tom nan Ragh, as everywhere, remedial sealant is only as good as the preparation behind it.

Surface by surface
Windows & doors
Some leaks around windows come from the wall or the window itself. If the frame joint isn’t the cause, we’ll say so.
Leaking trays & enclosures
Where the joints are the problem, every bead is stripped and resealed with anti-fungal sanitary silicone, tray edges and screen profiles included.
For landlords and businesses
In hotels, rooms out of use cost money, so the work can be planned room by room around your bookings where we can. Hotel work is part of what we do, alongside homes and businesses.
From a single let to a portfolio, you get the same standard of work: old sealant fully removed, joints prepared properly and a 12-month guarantee.
Leave it or put it right?
Another bead over the top will not fix a failed joint. It can’t bond to what’s underneath, so the leak carries on and there’s now more to remove. In a place like Tom nan Ragh, small leaks are easy to put off, but water behind a failed seal does the most damage when nobody’s watching.
Homes and businesses are quoted the same way: the amount of work, the access and the products needed. Call for a quick quote and we’ll explain what it covers.
Why us?
- More than 20 years in sealant work
- Experience in homes, commercial sites and hotels

FAQs for Tom nan Ragh
Is there a guarantee on remedial sealant in Tom nan Ragh?
Every job comes with our 12-month guarantee, wherever it is. We’re also fully insured and ARBOMaster approved.
Do you cover smaller places like Tom nan Ragh?
Yes. Tom nan Ragh is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. Our work covers the whole of Scotland. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
Can you quote for more than one area?
Yes, we can. Several rooms, windows or areas can go on one quote.
Do I have to be there?
If the work is inside, we need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Will it make a mess?
No. The area is protected while we work and cleaned up afterwards.
When is the sealant fully cured?
Many sealants skin over quickly but take longer to cure fully. We’ll tell you how long to leave the joint.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
Can failed expansion joints be resealed?
Yes. Where mortar or filler has been used instead of sealant, it’s removed where it can be, and reseal with a flexible product.
Keeping the joints in good condition
To keep the joints looking good and working properly:
- Don’t wait for a small gap to become a leak
- Don’t point over movement joints
- Ask why a joint failed before redoing it
- Check ceilings under showers for marks
If the joint ever needs renewing, have it cut out, not sealed over. Over-sealing is how many remedial jobs start.
Warning signs: sealant lifting at the ends, a second bead visible on top of the first, black mould under the silicone, or stains below a bathroom. Each one is worth getting looked at.
What happens on the day
We bring everything the job needs with us, so you don’t need to buy or prepare anything. After a quick look at the joints together, we protect the area and start. Most jobs take a few hours, depending on how many layers have to come out. Outside jobs in Tom nan Ragh need a dry day, because sealant will not bond to a wet joint, so an outdoor job can move if the forecast changes. Indoor work goes ahead whatever the weather.
- First we find out how and where the joint has failed.
- Every layer of old sealant is cut and cleaned out.
- Next, any mould is treated and the joint dried.
- Moving joints get backing and a flexible sealant to suit.
- We tool the joint and tell you about anything else that needs attention.
Before we arrive
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Clear the area around the work
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive

Advice
DIY versus a professional finish
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, such as a straightforward joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
A DIY attempt doesn’t rule out a professional job. We remove it and do the joint properly.
