About our remedial sealant in Unthank
The wrong product in the wrong joint fails however neatly it’s applied. Out it comes, and in goes a sealant suited to the job. We work on leaking tray & enclosure joints, mouldy bath & shower sealant and failed movement joints, and common reasons people get in touch are decorators’ caulk around a bath or shower and thick, messy sealant smeared over tiles.
For a place like Unthank, the job is the same as anywhere: everything old is cut out, the joints are cleaned and dried, and new sealant or grout goes in. The journey and access are simply planned in advance.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there’s a problem with our work within the year, let us know and we will sort it.

How the visit works
Every visit runs the same way: we check the joints, protect the area around them, carry out the job and clear up. Most jobs take a few hours, depending on how many layers have to come out. Outside jobs in Unthank need a dry day, because sealant will not bond to a wet joint, so an outdoor job can move if the forecast changes. Work indoors is not affected.
- First we find out how and where the joint has failed.
- Every layer of old sealant is cut and cleaned out.
- We clean the joint, treat any mould and let it dry.
- Moving joints get backing and a flexible sealant to suit.
- The new joint is tooled neatly and we explain anything else we found.
How to prepare
- Tell us about any previous sealing or DIY attempts
- Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed
- For business premises, tell us about site rules or sign-in

DIY sealant or a professional job?
If you are set on DIY, put the effort into preparation: take out all the old sealant, make sure the joint is clean and dry, and give it the full cure time. If it does not work out, we can still put it right.
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, such as a straightforward joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.

Do you take on hotel work around Unthank?
Yes, hotels and guest houses are among the places we work. Rooms can be done a few at a time, so the building stays open.
Should I try DIY first?
Some simple jobs can be done by a careful DIYer. Most DIY failures come from sealing over old material, wet joints or too much sealant.

Yes. Tell us about everything you’d like done and you’ll get one quote.

Are you ARBOMaster approved?
Yes. We are approved under the ARBOMaster scheme, the approved applicator scheme for Arbo sealants.

How the job changes by surface
Worktops & kitchens
Old kitchen sealant pulls back from the wall over time. It’s cut out, degreased and resealed.
Leaking trays & enclosures
Repeat shower leaks often come from a tray that flexes or an enclosure sealed in the wrong place. We check both before any new sealant goes on.

Do you need remedial sealant in Unthank?
Water from somewhere else can ruin a good seal. A slow leak behind the tiles soaks the joint from the back, and the sealant lifts or goes mouldy from underneath.
Most people get in touch when they notice something like this:
- Worktop sealant that has shrunk and split
- Sealant peeling off a dusty or damp surface
- Smears and lumps from a botched reseal
- Leaks that keep coming back after resealing
For an older house near a landmark such as West and St Columba's Parish Church, timber floors under older bathrooms flex, so joints need a sealant that moves with them.
Questions to ask before booking
- Whether you can choose the colour
- How much experience the applicator has
- Is the old sealant removed completely?
- Are they insured?
