Glazing silicone in Torbrex
Glazing silicone that has yellowed, blackened or come away looks poor and can leak. It comes off cleanly, without marking the glass and reseal the joint. We’re often asked to deal with a quick top-up bead that didn’t last and leaks where conservatory glass meets the frame, on glass-to-glass joints, shower screens and glass-to-frame joints.
Outdoor sealant needs a dry surface, so window work around Torbrex is planned around the weather, and longer journeys are planned in advance. Tell us about access to all the windows and doors, upstairs included.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you’re covered after we have gone.

Leave it or put it right?
Dealing with a leaking shower screen early protects the floor and ceiling. Water from a failed joint can soak into the floor before it shows. When the nearest tradesperson is a drive away, it’s tempting to leave a small leak, but water behind a failed seal does the most damage when nobody’s watching.
Every job is a little different, so we quote each one individually. Size, access and the product the joint needs all play a part.
Why Torbrex clients choose us
- Old sealant always removed completely
- Quality sealants from Arbo and Everbuild

Torbrex homes and the weather
Sash and case windows are common in older Scottish homes, often pointed into the wall with traditional 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.
If you look after a building such as Wallace High School, larger buildings have plenty of frames, and the mastic around each one ages.

Common questions in Torbrex
Do you work for landlords with property near Stirling station?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. You can send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk with the address and a few details, and we will give you a fixed price before any work starts.
Is Torbrex in your area for glazing silicone?

Can you just put new silicone over the old?
Many leaks we see come from exactly that. We remove the old silicone, clean the joint and reseal.
How long should I leave it?
Many sealants skin over quickly but take longer to cure fully. We’ll tell you how long to leave the joint.
Will it make a mess?
We keep the work tidy. Nearby surfaces are protected, and we clear up when we’re done.
How long does glazing silicone take?
Typically it takes a few hours, depending on how many joints need doing. Larger jobs naturally take longer, and we will say how long yours will take.
Do the sealants smell?
Some sealants have a smell while they cure. Ventilation helps.
Are you an approved applicator?
Yes. We are ARBOMaster approved, the scheme for applicators of Arbo sealants.

Can I do it myself?
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. Silicone does not stick to old silicone, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. All the old material has to come out first.
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.
What we are called out for in Torbrex
Sealant laid over old sealant does not last. Many failed joints we see have been topped up rather than cut out leaving a path for water.
If you can see any of these, it’s time to have the joints looked at:
- Leaks from the base of a shower screen
- Water tracking down the inner face of the glass
- Water getting into a conservatory at the joints
- Glazing silicone that has cracked or come away
Letting a property close to Stirling station? Then a shower screen or conservatory joint that leaks is easier to reseal while the property is empty.
