About our glazing silicone in Torbothie
We do not replace glass and a misted double-glazed unit needs a glazier. Our work is the sealant joints, which is where many leaks start. We work on glass balustrade bases, shower screens and glass-to-glass joints, and common reasons people get in touch are new silicone smeared over old sealant and shower screens leaking along the wall or tray.
Mastic can only go onto a dry joint, so outside work in Torbothie depends on the weather, and longer journeys are planned in advance. Tell us about access to all the windows and doors, upstairs included.
Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by our one-year guarantee.

Aftercare tips
Good habits help new joints last longer. A few tips:
- Wipe the screen down after showering
- Clean glass with a mild cleaner and a soft cloth
- Check the silicone on glass every year or so
- Keep air moving in the conservatory
Squeegee a shower screen after each shower and keep the room ventilated. That slows mould growth on the bead.
A small conservatory leak soon spreads. Water runs along frames and down walls so it’s best dealt with right away.
Different surfaces, different methods
Conservatory frames
Conservatory frame joints are a common source of leaks. We remove the failed sealant and renew it.
Glass-to-glass joints
Frameless glass corners and panels are joined with silicone. We renew it with a clear or matching glazing silicone.
Your questions about glazing silicone in Torbothie
Do you work for landlords with property near Shotts 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.
Do you cover smaller places like Torbothie?
Yes, Torbothie is covered. We work across all of Scotland, and smaller places are part of that. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
Do you do commercial work?
Yes. Larger jobs can be planned room by room or area by area.
Will resealing stop my conservatory leaking?
That depends where the water is getting in. Sealant joints we can renew, but roof panels and structural problems need a conservatory specialist or roofer.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes, and it often makes sense. Combining jobs makes good use of the visit.
Do you have insurance?
Yes, we’re fully insured.
Does someone need to be in?
Access is agreed with you when the job is booked. Indoors, that usually means someone at home.
Do you remove the old sealant?
Yes. All of the old material is cut out and the joint cleaned before resealing.
For landlords and businesses
We also work for businesses, from offices to washrooms and kitchens. On commercial sites, working times can be discussed when we quote.
A neglected joint can let water reach the structure, which matters even more when someone else lives there. Keeping joints in good order is simple maintenance.
What we do, step by step
At the end, we look at the finished work together. The visit itself usually takes a few hours, depending on how many joints need doing, depending on the size of the job. Somewhere like Torbothie may be a longer drive, and the journey is planned ahead. Tell us about tracks, gates, a ferry crossing or anything unusual about getting there.
- We trace the leak and confirm it’s a sealant joint.
- The failed silicone is cut out without marking the glass or frame.
- We clean the glass and frame so the new silicone bonds.
- A neutral-cure glazing silicone is applied and tooled.
- Each joint is checked and, where possible, water-tested.
Preparing for the visit
- Move anything stored near the joints
- Let us know if you’ve seen damp or leaks
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before

What we are called out for in Torbothie
Shower screen silicone gets wet every day. Mould grows into the bead and the joint starts to lift.
Most people get in touch when they notice one of these:
- Shower screens leaking along the wall or tray
- Stained, discoloured glazing silicone
- Failed joints on frameless glass
- Leaks where conservatory glass meets the frame
For landlords with property near Shotts station, glazing joints are worth checking at the end of a tenancy, before a small leak grows.

Torbothie homes and the weather
Many older homes in Scotland have sash and case windows, and the joint between the box frame and the stone or render is traditionally pointed with sand mastic. Private landlords in Scotland must meet the Repairing Standard, which includes keeping a home wind and watertight, and failed outside joints work against that.
Around Torbothie, as everywhere, glazing silicone is only as good as the preparation behind it.

Why it’s worth doing now in Torbothie
You do not need new glazing because the sealant has gone. If the glass and frame are sound, new silicone is often all it takes. Around Torbothie, water from a failed joint in an older stone home can soak into timber and plaster, which is a far bigger job than the sealant.
Combining jobs into one visit is normally more efficient than separate visits. We’ll give you a clear quote for the lot.
