- Water getting behind the kitchen upstand
- Lumpy, uneven sealant from a DIY attempt
- Water escaping at the shower enclosure
How it works
We work through the job in order: protect, prepare, seal, tidy. Typically it takes a couple of hours for a single bath or shower and we leave things clean and tidy. In a Scottish city, a lot of jobs are in tenement flats, up a common stair from a shared close. For a job in Blythswood Hill, tell us the floor, how the door entry system works and where we can park nearby.
- We start by protecting the area and stripping out the old bead, including the film left on the tiles.
- We clean and degrease the joint and treat any mould.
- Once it’s dry, any bath is filled so the bead is laid with it at its heaviest.
- New anti-fungal silicone goes on in a colour to suit and is tooled to a clean finish.
- We tidy up and give you the cure time, normally around 24 hours.
How to prepare
- Move anything stored near the joints
- On commercial sites, let us know about site rules
- Mention any parking rules near the property

Bathroom resealing in Blythswood Hill
The secret of a lasting bead is the preparation. The old sealant is removed to the last smear, after which the joint is degreased and any mould treated. New silicone goes on only when the joint is fully dry. We work on shower trays & enclosures, kitchen worktops & upstands and wet rooms, and people most often call us about black mould in the silicone that won’t clean off and new sealant laid over old sealant that is now lifting.
Tenement flats are common in all four of Scotland’s big cities, alongside suburban houses and modern blocks. With flats above and below, a leak from a tired seal can reach the flat underneath, and that is as true in Blythswood Hill as anywhere in the city.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something is not right with it in that time, tell us and we’ll put it right.

What else we do in Blythswood Hill
Can I do it myself?
Some jobs are best left to a professional: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas need the right product, the right access and the right method.
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. New silicone will not bond to old, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. All the old material has to come out first.
Keeping the joints in good condition
Simple care keeps the joints in good condition. We recommend:
- Use gentle cleaners on the silicone
- Wipe up water along the back of the worktop
- Keep an eye on the corners, where splits start
- Let new sealant cure fully before it gets wet
Check the sealant now and then. A small split or a corner lifting is easy to spot, so if something doesn’t look right, just email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk.
A split bead lets water through every time the bath or shower is used. Left alone, it soaks into the floor, the wall behind the tiles or the ceiling below. Early resealing closes the gap before damage is done.

Your questions about bathroom resealing in Blythswood Hill
Do you work for landlords with property near Charing Cross (Glasgow) station?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for, and several properties can go on one quote. You can email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk with the details for a clear quote.
Do you take on hotel work around Blythswood Hill?
Yes, we work for hotels as well as homes and businesses. A room-by-room programme keeps most rooms in use while the work goes on.
Can mouldy silicone be sorted out?
Yes. Once mould has grown into the silicone, it generally can’t be cleaned out for good, so we cut it out, treat the joint and reseal with anti-fungal silicone.
How long does a bath or shower reseal take?
That depends on the number of joints and the state of the old sealant. Allow a couple of hours for a typical bath or shower.
Are you an approved applicator?
Yes. ARBOMaster is the approved applicator scheme for Arbo sealants, and we’re part of it.
Is there any odour?
There can be a smell while the sealant cures. Opening a window helps.
Where do you work from?
We are a Crawley-based firm, with over 20 years’ experience. We work across South East England, London and Scotland.
Should I try DIY first?
It depends on the job. High-level, external movement and fire-rated joints are professional jobs.
What we can’t put right
We will always be straight with you, so here’s what sealant can’t fix:
- Tiles that have come away from the wall
- A bath or tray that moves because it is not properly supported
- A leaking waste, trap or valve
If in doubt, email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk and we will say what we think.
Joints and surfaces we work on
- Basins & vanity units
- Wet rooms
- Shower trays & enclosures
- Sinks & splashbacks
- Baths
- Kitchen worktops & upstands
Different surfaces, different methods
Shower trays & enclosures
Shower trays are sealed to the wall, and enclosures are sealed to the tray and tiles. Both get soaked every time the shower runs, so both are resealed with anti-fungal sanitary silicone.
Basins & vanity units
The back of a basin gets wet every time someone washes. Corners behind basins are where mould tends to start, so it’s cut out and renewed just like a bath joint.
Bathrooms and kitchens in Blythswood Hill
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.
If you live in an older home near St Columba Church of Scotland, walls and floors in older homes can move, and sealant and grout show it first. If you let a flat or house near Charing Cross (Glasgow) station, a reseal between tenants is a quick way to make the bathroom and kitchen look cared for. Managing a site like Glasgow Academy? Then its toilets, changing areas and kitchens need their sealant renewed like any other building’s.

Why it’s worth doing now in Blythswood Hill
A quick bead over the top of the old one might look better for a while, but it won’t bond. Water creeps under it and mould follows, so the next person has twice as much to remove. In a tenement flat in Blythswood Hill, 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.
A few things move the cost up or down: how much old sealant there is and how stubborn it is, any mould to treat, and whether we need extra access for height. Your quote takes all of that into account.
