What the job involves on each surface
Shower screens
A screen’s wall joint and tray joint are where leaks start. We reseal both with anti-fungal silicone.
Glass balustrade bases
The base of a glass balustrade is usually sealed. When it fails, water can sit in the channel.
About our glazing silicone in Nisbet
We renew glazing silicone on conservatories, rooflights and glass panels plus shower screens and the bases of glass balustrades. Each joint is cut out, cleaned and resealed. We work on glass-to-frame joints, shower screens and glass balustrade bases, and people most often call us about a quick top-up bead that didn’t last and failed joints on frameless glass.
In and around a place like Nisbet, homes range from older stone-built cottages to newer houses. Wind-driven rain finds any gap around a frame or sill, so the mastic there works hard.
Each job carries a 12-month guarantee, large or small.

Why deal with it now?
Topping up old silicone can look like a fix, but silicone does not stick to silicone and water soon finds its way back. Cutting out and resealing properly lasts. When the nearest tradesperson is a drive away, it’s tempting to leave a small leak, but water through a failed joint keeps working away until it’s fixed.
No two jobs are quite the same, so each one gets its own quote. The number of joints, how easy they are to reach and the sealant needed all play a part, and we will explain the quote if you ask.

Can I do it myself?
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and doesn’t move well, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that’s fine. We cut it out and start again, so tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
What happens on the day
All our tools and materials come with us in the van, so there’s nothing for you to buy. Once we’ve agreed what’s being done, we protect the area and start. It normally takes a few hours, depending on how many joints need doing. For a place like Nisbet, longer drives are planned in advance. Tell us about tracks, gates, a ferry crossing or anything unusual about getting there.
- First, we check where the water gets in.
- We remove the old sealant carefully.
- We clean the glass and frame so the new silicone bonds.
- A neutral-cure glazing silicone is applied and tooled.
- We check the finished joints and test with water where it’s safe.
Before we arrive
- Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed
- Tell us if parking is tricky
- Move anything stored near the joints

Common problems we fix in Nisbet
New silicone over old silicone will not bond. Many failed joints we see have been topped up rather than cut out, and water gets between the layers.
Common reasons people contact us are:
- Water escaping where a screen meets the wall
- Glass-to-glass joints that have split
- Failed sealant around rooflight glass
- Leaks where conservatory glass meets the frame
If you live in an older home near Crailing Parish Church, the windows may be timber, sash or later replacements, and each needs the right sealant against the wall.

What glazing silicone looks like in Nisbet
Under the Repairing Standard, private landlords in Scotland have to keep homes wind and watertight, and failed outside joints work against that. Sash and case windows are common in older Scottish homes, and the joint between the box frame and the stone or render is traditionally pointed with sand mastic.

Aftercare tips
Simple care keeps the joints in good condition. Our advice:
- Avoid scraping close to the bead
- Don’t leave a drip for the next storm
- Inspect the sealant on glazing annually
- Run a squeegee over the glass when you’re done
Check the joints once a year. Spotting a crack early means a simpler fix.
Conservatory leaks rarely stay small. Water runs along frames and down walls, so get it looked at when you first see it.
