- A cracked shower tray or bath (that needs repair or replacing)
- Old mastic in a building from before 2000 that should be checked for asbestos before it’s disturbed

Remedial sealant in Mansewood, done properly
Decorators’ caulk in a shower, bathroom silicone on a window, a rigid filler in a movement joint won’t last, however tidy it looks. We take it out and use a sealant made for that joint. Common call-outs are for beads that never stuck properly and mould trapped under a layer of silicone, across mouldy bath & shower sealant, expansion joints and failed movement joints.
In Scotland’s cities, including the area around Mansewood, many older flats had their bathrooms added into small rooms later on. Space is tight and ventilation can be poor, and steam with nowhere to go is what turns sealant black and grout grey.
All of our work is guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you are.

Work for landlords, hotels and businesses
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.
Mouldy or split sealant often shows up at the end of a tenancy, and it’s easy to sort out between tenants. Several properties can be quoted together.
Should I try it myself first?
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.
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
Signs you need remedial sealant in Mansewood
A lot of failed joints have been sealed over rather than replaced. New silicone cannot stick to the old bead, so the top layer lifts and water and mould collect between the two.
These are the problems we’re asked about most:
- Beads that never stuck properly
- Smears and lumps from a botched reseal
- Dark patches showing through the sealant
- A shower that leaks however often it’s resealed
Schools such as Hillpark Secondary School are buildings too, and we reseal washrooms and kitchens in schools and businesses as well as homes.

What else we do in Mansewood
What remedial sealant looks like in Mansewood
Sandstone tenements are a big part of Glasgow’s housing, where most bathrooms sit above another flat. Scotland’s water is generally soft, so sealant and grout see less limescale than in much of England. But mould still grows into sealant and grout in a room that doesn’t dry out.
Rented homes near Pollokshaws West 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 Pollokshaws Parish Church, walls and floors in older homes can move, and sealant and grout show it first.

Advice
How the job changes by surface
Mouldy bath & shower sealant
Repeat mould generally points to a damp, poorly aired room. Along with resealing, we will mention if the room needs better ventilation.
Leaking trays & enclosures
A shower that leaks after resealing often has a tray that moves or an enclosure sealed on the wrong side. We check both before any new sealant goes on.
