Bathroom & kitchen resealing in Broomhouse, Glasgow
Bath, shower, basin, wet room, worktop and sink resealing for homes and businesses in Broomhouse and across Glasgow. ARBOMaster approved applicators, fully insured, with a one-year guarantee.
- Leaks into the floor or ceiling below
- Shrunken sealant along the back of a worktop
- Black spots spreading through the bead
What we do, step by step
We keep the work tidy and contained to the area we’re working on, so you can carry on as normal. The job usually takes around two hours for one bath or shower, longer for a whole bathroom, and we explain the cure time before we leave. Outside jobs in Broomhouse need a dry day, because sealant won’t bond to a wet joint, so an outdoor job can move if the forecast changes. Indoor work goes ahead whatever the weather.
- First, each joint is checked for movement and signs of water.
- The old silicone is cut out completely, along with the film it leaves on the tiles.
- The joint is cleaned, degreased and treated for mould.
- With the joint dry, and any bath loaded with water, a single bead of anti-fungal silicone is applied.
- We tool the bead to a neat finish and give you the cure time, usually around 24 hours.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know about parking restrictions
- Let us know if you’ve seen damp or leaks
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children

Bathroom resealing for homes and businesses in Broomhouse
Homes in Broomhouse have the same weak spots as anywhere else: the long edge of the bath, the base of the shower tray, the back of the basin and the line along the worktop. Each one is stripped, cleaned and dried before new silicone goes in. If you are dealing with two layers of silicone, both failing and gaps where the bath or tray has moved, we can put it right, whatever the surface.
Being further from a city does not change the work: 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.
A 12-month guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

DIY sealant or a professional job?
A DIY attempt does not rule out a professional job. We remove it and do the joint properly.
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.
Common problems we fix in Broomhouse
Sealant laid on a damp, dusty or greasy joint never bonds properly. Traces of soap, bath oil and old sealant stop it gripping, and a joint that looked fine soon begins to come away.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- A joint torn by a bath that flexes
- Water getting behind the kitchen upstand
- New sealant laid over old sealant that is now lifting
- Lumpy, uneven sealant from a DIY attempt
In the older streets around Baillieston St Andrew's Church, timber floors under older bathrooms flex, so joints need a sealant that moves with them.

Aftercare tips
To keep the joints looking good and working properly:
- Use gentle cleaners on the silicone
- Move toiletries away from the joint
- Avoid abrasive pads on the sealant
- Wait for the cure time we give you
Keep bottles and razors off the sealant line, as they hold water against it. Squeegeeing the walls and tray after use helps the joint dry.
Each shower pushes a little more water through a failed joint. Left alone, it soaks into the floor, the wall behind the tiles or the ceiling below. Resealing early stops it.

What else we do in Broomhouse
What the job involves on each surface
Shower trays & enclosures
If a tray moves underfoot, new silicone won’t last. Movement is checked before anything is resealed, and if the tray needs refixing, we’ll say so.
Basins & vanity units
On a basin, neatness shows: the bead is right in front of you, so it’s tooled cleanly and evenly, finished in a colour that suits the basin.
Broomhouse homes and their sealant
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. In Scotland, private landlords have to meet the Repairing Standard, which covers keeping fixtures and fittings in a reasonable state of repair. Tired, leaking sealant is worth putting right before a new tenant moves in.
If you let a flat or house near Baillieston station, mouldy sealant is one of the first things a new tenant notices, so it’s worth renewing between lets. Schools such as Bannerman High School are buildings too, and we reseal washrooms and kitchens in schools and businesses as well as homes.

Honest limits
New sealant cannot fix everything, and we’d rather say so up front. It will not solve:
- Water getting in through the grout rather than the sealant
- Damage behind the tiles that needs a tiler
- A cracked shower tray or bath (that needs repair or replacement)

Broomhouse: your questions answered
Do you work for landlords with property near Baillieston station?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for, and several properties can be quoted together. Just drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk with the address and what needs doing, and we will give you a clear quote.
Is Broomhouse within the area you cover?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Our work covers the whole of Scotland. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
Will it make a mess?
Tidy work is part of the job. We protect what’s around the joints, and we clear up when we’re done.
Do you reseal kitchen worktops and sinks too?
Yes, often alongside a bathroom. Where it’s needed by the sink, we use a food-safe sealant.
Can I do it myself?
It depends on the job. High-level, external movement and fire-rated joints are professional jobs, while a short indoor joint may be within reach.
Can new silicone go straight over the old?
No. New silicone won’t bond to old silicone, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. We always take the old sealant out completely.
Can I choose the colour of the sealant?
Most people choose white or clear, and other colours are available to suit tiles, trays and worktops. Let us know your preference when you ask for a quote.
Will there be a smell?
That depends on the sealant. Some products have a noticeable smell, others very little.

We don’t publish a price list. The quote depends on:
