Bathroom & kitchen resealing in Broomhill, Glasgow
Problem with your baths, showers and worktops in Broomhill? We cut out the old, prepare the joints and apply the right sealant.
- Mouldy sealant that has gone black
- A reseal done over the top of the old bead
- Water getting behind the bath panel
How to look after the new joints
To keep the joints looking good and working properly:
- Dry worktop joints after washing up
- Dry the bead with a towel now and then
- Keep the fan on for a while after bathing
- Let new sealant cure fully before it gets wet
Good ventilation does more than any cleaner. Run the extractor fan during and after a shower, so the bead dries out between uses.
A split bead lets water through every time the bath or shower is used. Left alone, it soaks into the floor, the wall behind the tiles or the ceiling below. Early resealing closes the gap before damage is done.
About our bathroom resealing in Broomhill
The bead of silicone around a bath, tray or worktop is what keeps water out of the gaps. Once it cracks or goes mouldy, water starts to find its way through. Our team cut the old bead out completely and lay a new one in anti-fungal sanitary silicone. If you have two layers of silicone, both failing and failed sealant on the screen profile, we can help, on sinks & splashbacks, basins & vanity units and shower trays & enclosures alike.
Tenement flats are common in all four of Scotland’s big cities, alongside houses and newer flats. With flats above and below, a leak from a tired seal can reach the flat underneath, and that is as true in Broomhill as anywhere in the city.
Your job is guaranteed for a year, as with all our work.

Different surfaces, different methods
Shower trays & enclosures
A tray that rocks will split any sealant. Movement is checked before anything is resealed, and tell you if it needs re-bedding first.
Baths
Acrylic baths flex the most, while steel and cast iron baths move less but still settle when full. Loading the bath with water before sealing allows for it.
Work for landlords, hotels and businesses
Failed sealant is one of the commonest items on a check-out report, and it’s quick to put right between tenancies. Several properties can be quoted together.
Water getting past a failed joint can damage the building, which is a bigger problem in a rented property. Resealing at the right time is simple maintenance.
Honest limits
Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits too:
- Leaks from a shower valve, waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
- Tiles that have come away from the wall
- Cracks in the tray itself rather than the joint
If in doubt, email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk and we will say what we think before you book.

Questions from Broomhill
Do you work for landlords with property near Hyndland station?
Yes. We work for letting agents and landlords as well as homeowners, and several properties can be quoted together. You can send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk with the details for a clear quote.
Could a leaking bath seal in my Broomhill flat reach the neighbours below?
Yes, it can. In a tenement, water that gets past failed sealant or cracked grout can run under the bath or tray and through to the ceiling below, and then the repair involves your neighbours too. Replacing tired sealant early is the simplest way to avoid that.
What information do you need?
Only a few details: the address or postcode, what’s wrong and any access issues. Then send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk.
Do you hold any approvals?
Yes. We hold ARBOMaster approved applicator status.
Do you reseal kitchen worktops and sinks too?
Yes. Next to the sink we use a food-safe product where it’s needed.
Can new silicone go straight over the old?
No. New silicone will not bond to old silicone, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. All the old sealant comes out first.
Do you work for hotels and businesses?
Yes. Hotels, offices and other businesses use us and we’re fully insured.
Are you insured?
Yes. Mr Mastic is fully insured.
Common problems we fix in Broomhill
Silicone does not last for ever. Daily water, heat and cleaning products slowly wear it down, and how long it lasts comes down to use, cleaning and ventilation.
Keep an eye out for these signs:
- A joint torn by a bath that flexes
- Lumpy, uneven sealant from a DIY attempt
- Water getting behind the kitchen upstand
- Mouldy sealant that has gone black
In the older streets around Broomhill Church, older homes can move a little, which is hard on rigid grout and tired sealant.
What your quote should include

- How the colour is chosen

What happens on the day
On the day, there’s very little for you to do. Point us to the joints and we will get on with it. The work itself takes a couple of hours for one bath or shower, or most of a day for a full bathroom and kitchen. In a city area like Broomhill, parking may be by permit or pay-and-display, so tell us what’s nearby. For flats, mention the door entry system and any shared-stair arrangements.
- First the area is protected and every bit of old sealant removed, including the film left on the tiles.
- The joint is cleaned, degreased and treated for mould.
- Once it’s dry, any bath is filled so the bead is laid with it at its heaviest.
- We apply anti-fungal sanitary silicone in one even bead and tool it neatly.
- We tidy up and give you the cure time, usually around 24 hours.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention any parking rules near the property
- Tell us about any water getting in
- Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints
