Surface by surface
Over-sealed & botched joints
Botched joints sometimes have damaged edges from earlier scraping. We work carefully to avoid adding to it, and point out any existing damage.
Mouldy bath & shower sealant
Mould that has grown into silicone does not clean out for good. The sealant is cut out completely, the joint treated with a mould remover and dried ahead of a new anti-fungal bead.
Remedial sealant in Twynholm, done properly
The wrong product in the wrong joint won’t last, however tidy it looks. We take it out and use a sealant made for that joint. Typical jobs include a shower that leaks however often it’s resealed and movement joints that have split or pulled away, across mouldy bath & shower sealant, leaking tray & enclosure joints and botched or over-sealed joints.
In and around a place like Twynholm, homes range from older stone-built properties to newer houses. Where a building moves, cracked grout and split sealant are normally the first signs.
There’s a 12-month guarantee on every job, large or small.

Why act early in Twynholm
Mould under a bead cannot be reached by cleaning. The layers have to come out, so the joint can be treated and resealed. Out of town in Scotland, exposed walls take a lot of weather, and once water gets behind a failed joint, damp in stone or harled walls is slow to dry out.
Homes and businesses are quoted the same way: the amount of work, how we reach it and what it needs, along with when we can work on site. Call for a quick quote and we will go through it with you.
What you get with us

How to look after the new joints
No joint lasts for ever, but care makes a real difference. A few tips:
- Don’t point over movement joints
- Keep an eye on the ceiling below the bathroom
- Always have old sealant cut out, not covered
- Find out why the sealant failed first
Keep the room ventilated: use the extractor or open a window after showering.
Mould under a second layer of sealant keeps growing out of sight. By the time it shows through, the joint is well past saving.
How we quote for remedial sealant
We do not publish a price list. The quote depends on:
- How many areas need sealing
- Working hours on commercial sites
- Any mould that needs treating
- The size of the job
Combining jobs into one visit usually makes better use of the time than several visits, so it’s worth mentioning everything you’d like done. We’ll give you a clear quote for the lot.

- The address or postcode of the job
- Whether it’s a home or a business

What we do, step by step
At the end, we look at the finished work together and explain the cure time. The work normally takes a few hours for most joints, depending on how much old sealant has to come out, depending on how much there is to do. For a place like Twynholm, longer drives are planned in advance. Tell us about tracks, gates, a ferry crossing or anything unusual about getting there.
- We protect the surfaces around the joint.
- The botched or failed sealant is cut away completely.
- The joint is degreased and checked for movement and leaks.
- 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.
How to prepare

Advice
What remedial sealant looks like in Twynholm
Twynholm is close to the coast. Coastal homes, holiday lets and guest houses can see heavy bathroom use in busy months, and sealant and grout that work that hard wear out sooner. 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.
Schools such as Kirkcudbright Academy are buildings too, and washroom and kitchen sealant there needs the same care as at home, and schools and businesses are part of our work as well as homes. Homes close to Twynholm Parish Church And Graveyard include some older properties, and older homes can move a little, which is hard on rigid grout and tired sealant.

Questions from Twynholm
Is there a guarantee on remedial sealant in Twynholm?
Every job comes with our 12-month guarantee, wherever it is. We are also fully insured and ARBOMaster approved.
Will you come out to Twynholm?
Yes. Twynholm is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. Our work covers the whole of Scotland. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Can you take off two layers of silicone?
Yes. Both layers come out; new silicone does not bond to old silicone, which is why over-sealing fails.
Can you remove old sealant without damaging the bath?
Yes. Residue is removed with a product suited to the surface rather than scraped hard.
Do you work for hotels and businesses?
Yes. We work in offices, washrooms, hotels and other commercial premises, as well as homes. Working times can be discussed when we quote.
Do you fix expansion and movement joints?
Yes. We cut out the failed sealant, fit backing and reseal with a flexible product.
Do you remove the old sealant?
Yes, every time. New sealant will not bond properly to old, so the joint is cleaned back first.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Several rooms, windows or areas can go on one quote.
