About our remedial sealant in Broomhouse
Getting old sealant out properly is slow, careful work. We cut out every layer, clear the residue and degrease the surfaces, without scratching tiles, trays or frames. Only then can new sealant bond. Common call-outs are for sealant peeling off a dusty or damp surface and caulk or the wrong sealant used in a wet area, on failed movement joints, leaking tray & enclosure joints and botched or over-sealed joints.
Broomhouse is in one of Scotland’s four big cities, where many tenement bathrooms were fitted into rooms that weren’t built for them. Space is tight and ventilation can be poor, and steam with nowhere to go is what turns sealant black and grout grey.

FAQs for Broomhouse
I let a flat near Kingsknowe station. Can you help?
Yes. We work for landlords and agents as well as homeowners. You can email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk with the details for a clear quote.
Do you work in hotels near Broomhouse?
Yes, we work for hotels as well as homes and businesses. Rooms can be done a few at a time, so the building stays open.
Are you ARBOMaster approved?
Yes. ARBOMaster is the approved applicator scheme for Arbo sealants, and we’re part of it.
How long will it take to strip and reseal the joint?
That depends on how many layers there are and how many joints. We’ll tell you before we start.
Where do you work from?
Mr Mastic is based in Crawley. Our applicators cover Broomhouse.
Do I have to be there?
We need access to the joints, so we will agree that with you when we book. Indoors, that generally means someone at home.
Will there be a smell?
Some sealants have a smell while they cure, which fades as it sets. Ventilation helps.
What should I tell you?
Only a few details: the address or postcode, what’s wrong and any access issues. Then send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk.

Bathrooms and kitchens in Broomhouse
Broomhouse has hotels and guest accommodation nearby. As well as homes, we work in hotel bathrooms, where resealing and regrouting can be done room by room. 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.
For landlords with property near Kingsknowe station, failed or mouldy sealant is worth putting right between tenancies, before it turns into a leak. Homes close to St Joseph's RC Church include some older properties, and timber floors under older bathrooms flex, so joints need a sealant that moves with them.

How we quote for remedial sealant
The price is agreed before any work begins. It takes into account:
- Which sealant suits the joint
- Any mould that needs treating
- Access and height
- Any working-time requirements on site
Some things make a job bigger or smaller: the old material and how easily it comes out, any mould to treat, and whether the work is at height. Your quote takes all of that into account.
What to tell us for a quote
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote. When you get in contact, it helps to mention:
- If it’s domestic, commercial or a hotel
- Where the property is
- Pictures of the joints, sent by email
- Roughly how big the job is
Every job is quoted individually, so start by telling us what you need. Just send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk with the details.
How it works
We work through the job in order: protection first, then preparation, sealing and a tidy-up. Typically it takes a few hours, depending on how many layers have to come out. For a tenement in Broomhouse, work inside your flat is between us and you, while shared parts may need the factor or neighbours to agree. Tell us which applies when you book.
- Surrounding tiles, trays and frames are protected first.
- Every layer of failed sealant is stripped out.
- The joint is degreased and checked for movement and leaks.
- New sealant goes in once the joint is dry, and is tooled smooth.
- We give you the cure time and explain what caused the failure.
Before we arrive
- Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work
- For business premises, tell us about site rules or sign-in
- Move anything stored near the joints

For landlords and businesses
Water getting past a failed joint can damage the building, which matters even more when someone else lives there. Resealing at the right time is simple maintenance.
We work for landlords and letting agents as well as homeowners. Sealant work between tenants is a simple way to keep a property in good order.
Why act early in Broomhouse
A failed seal rarely means a new bathroom. If the bath, tray and tiles are sound, remedial resealing normally puts it right. If they’re not, we’ll tell you. In a tenement flat in Broomhouse, a failed seal is rarely just your problem: a leak can come through the ceiling below, and gaps in shared walls or fire-rated joints matter to every flat.
Combining jobs into one visit usually makes better use of the time than several visits, so it’s worth mentioning everything you’d like done. We will send you a clear quote for the lot.
Why Broomhouse clients choose us

What we are called out for in Broomhouse
A lot of failed joints have been sealed over rather than replaced. New silicone can’t stick to the old bead, so the new layer peels, and damp and mould settle between them.
The problems people normally mention when they call include:
- Repeat leaks from the same joint
- Sealant peeling off a dusty or damp surface
- Mould trapped under a layer of silicone
- Kitchen joints letting water behind the worktop
Managing a site like Forrester High School? Then its toilets, changing areas and kitchens need their sealant renewed like any other building’s.
Before you book anyone
- Whether VAT is included
- Is the old sealant removed completely?
- What happens if they find a problem under the old sealant
- Whether you can choose the colour
Can I do it myself?
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.
If you do try it yourself, take your time over the preparation: take out all the old sealant, make sure the joint is clean and dry, and give it the full cure time. If it fails, we can still redo it.
