Remedial sealant in Broomhill, done properly
A joint that keeps letting you down needs more than another bead. Send photos when you drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk, and say how long ago it was last done. We work on mouldy bath & shower sealant, failed movement joints and botched or over-sealed joints, and common reasons people get in touch are gaps opening along the back of the worktop and sealant applied over old sealant that has lifted.
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.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything isn’t right with it, email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk.

What happens on the day
Once we are on site, we check the joints match what you told us. If anything is different, we explain it before carrying on. After that, the work takes a few hours for most joints, depending on how much old sealant has to come out. Many homes in Scotland’s cities are tenement flats, reached through a shared close and up a common stair. For a job in Broomhill, tell us the floor, how the door entry system works and where we can park nearby.
- We protect the surfaces around the joint.
- The botched or failed sealant is cut away completely.
- We clean and degrease the joint and look for signs of movement or water.
- New sealant goes in once the joint is dry, and is tooled smooth.
- You get the cure time and our view on why the joint failed.
Before we arrive
- For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can
- Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed
- Mention any parking rules near the property

Remedial sealant around Broomhill
Private landlords in Scotland must be registered and meet the Repairing Standard, which covers keeping fixtures and fittings in a reasonable state of repair. Failed sealant around a bath or shower is worth sorting between tenancies. Scotland’s water is generally soft, so sealant and grout see less limescale than in much of England. Mould is another matter: a bathroom that stays damp still turns sealant and grout black.
Schools such as Thornwood Primary School are buildings too, and washroom and kitchen sealant there needs the same care as at home, and schools and businesses are part of our work as well as homes. Rented homes near Hyndland station change hands often, and failed or mouldy sealant is worth putting right between tenancies, before it turns into a leak. In the older streets around Broomhill Church, timber floors under older bathrooms flex, so joints need a sealant that moves with them.

Why it’s worth doing now in Broomhill
Repeat failures have a cause. Taking time to find the cause, whether it’s movement, a leak or the wrong product, is what stops it happening again. Wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint on the outside of a city building, and in a tall building in Broomhill, damp can travel a long way before it shows.
There are no prices on our website, because the cost depends so much on the job itself. For a quick quote, please drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk and we will talk you through it.

Surface by surface
Windows & doors
Frames resealed over the top end up with hard, layered mastic. All of it is cut out and the frame and wall cleaned before backing and resealing.
Over-sealed & botched joints
Previous removal attempts can leave scratches or gouges. We work carefully to avoid adding to it, and point out any existing damage.
Broomhill: your questions answered
Could a leaking bath seal in my Broomhill flat reach the neighbours below?
It can. Tenement floors are generally timber, and water from a failed seal can find its way down to the flat below. It’s worth sorting sealant and grout before it gets that far.
I let a flat near Hyndland station. Can you help?
Yes, we work for letting agents and landlords. You can drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk with the address and a few details, and we’ll give you a fixed price before work begins.
Can you do several jobs on one visit?
Yes. Just list everything you need.
Can you take off two layers of silicone?
Yes. It’s slower than a standard reseal, because every layer has to come out cleanly, but it’s what makes the new bead last.
Do the sealants smell?
That depends on the sealant. Some smell for a while, some hardly at all.
Do you hold any approvals?
Yes. We hold ARBOMaster approved applicator status.
What do you put in the joint?
Each joint gets the product that suits it. Where it moves, gets wet or faces the weather makes a difference, and we’ll explain our choice.
What does remedial sealant cost?
We do not publish prices, because the cost depends on the job: how much there is, what’s there now, how we reach it and what it needs. You will get a clear quote before any work starts.
Looking after it afterwards
Good habits help new joints last longer. A few tips:
- Keep an eye on the ceiling below the bathroom
- Run the fan after every shower
- Find out why the sealant failed first
- Clean sealant with mild products only
Where we’ve pointed out another fault, have it put right, because the new sealant cannot hold back a problem underneath.
If a joint has failed more than once, stop resealing it. Have someone find out why, or the next bead will go the same way.
