Do you work for hotels and businesses?
Yes, regularly. Larger jobs can be planned room by room or area by area.

Do I need to be at home?
If the work is inside, we need someone to let us in. Once we have agreed the job, you do not need to watch us work.

Most of the time, yes. We will tell you which colours the right product comes in and agree one before we start.
Can I do it myself?
Some simple jobs can be done by a careful DIYer. The usual mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using too much.
Remedial sealant for homes and businesses in Tomintoul
Removing failed sealant is the hardest part of the job. Every layer is cut out, the residue cleaned off and the joint degreased, without scratching tiles, trays or frames. New sealant only bonds to a clean, dry joint. We’re often asked to deal with movement joints that have split or pulled away and kitchen joints letting water behind the worktop, on expansion joints, mouldy bath & shower sealant and shrunken worktop sealant.
Being further from a city doesn’t change the work: old material out, joints cleaned and dried, and a fresh, even finish. We just plan the journey and access beforehand.
All of our work is guaranteed for twelve months.

DIY versus a professional finish
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, such as a straightforward joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
Some jobs are best left to a professional: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
Quotes for remedial sealant in Tomintoul
Jobs vary more than people expect. The main factors:
- Whether the work is at height
- How many areas need sealing
- The type of sealant required
- Whether old sealant or filler has to be cut out
A few things move the cost up or down: the old material and how easily it comes out, any mould to treat, and whether the work is at height. We take all of that into account in your quote.
What to tell us for a quote
Before you ask for a quote, have a think about:
- Where the property is
- A few photos by email, if you can
- Any previous sealing or DIY work
- If it’s domestic, commercial or a hotel
Getting a quote is simple: let us know the job and the location and its rough size. Photos by email help us understand the job.
Different surfaces, different methods
Worktops & kitchens
If a worktop moves when you lean on it, the sealant will keep splitting. It needs fixing down first, which we’ll point out.
Movement & expansion joints
A sealant stuck to the back of the joint cannot stretch. Backing stops that, letting the sealant flex between the two faces.
The process
You don’t need to clear the whole room or building before we come, just the space around the work. We protect the rest, and the work takes a few hours, depending on how many layers have to come out in most cases. Outside jobs in Tomintoul 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.
- The failure is looked at first, so we know whether it’s sealant, movement or water from elsewhere.
- Each layer is cut out and the residue cleaned off.
- Mould is treated and the joint dried.
- We reseal with a product suited to the joint, backed where needed.
- The joint is tooled and you’re told about anything else we found.
How to prepare
- Mention any parking rules near the property
- Mention any sign-in or site rules at work premises
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive

Related advice
Why act early in Tomintoul
Remedial work takes longer than a straight reseal, but rarely a lot: it takes a few hours, depending on how many layers have to come out. It’s far less disruption than resealing the same joint again and again. In a place like Tomintoul, small leaks are easy to put off, but water behind a failed seal does the most damage when nobody’s watching.
Instead of a standard rate, we look at what your job involves: the amount of work, the old material and the access. The price is agreed before we begin.

When to call us in Tomintoul
Movement tears sealant that is not designed for it. A bath that flexes, a tray that rocks or a building joint that opens and closes split any bead that is too stiff or too thin.
These are the problems we are asked about most:
- Repeat leaks from the same joint
- Smears and lumps from a botched reseal
- Torn expansion joints
- Kitchen joints letting water behind the worktop
Whether the job is in Tomintoul itself or nearby, the right material for each joint matters as much as a neat finish.

Tomintoul homes and their sealant
Scotland’s water is generally soft, so sealant and grout see less limescale than in much of England. Mould is another matter: a bathroom that stays damp still turns sealant and grout black. 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.
