What we do, step by step
When we arrive, we look over the joints with you first, so there are no surprises. We protect the surfaces around the joints before any work starts. Most jobs take two to three hours for a typical bath, depending on how much old sealant there is. Parking in city streets around Cowcaddens can be tight or controlled, so it helps to know about permits or nearby bays. If you’re in a flat, let us know how we get in at the street door.
- We cover the area around the joints we are working on.
- We cut away the old sealant and clean off what’s left.
- We treat any mould and let the joint dry properly.
- Baths are filled first, then anti-fungal sanitary silicone is applied in a colour to suit.
- We finish the joint, clear up and tell you how long to leave it before it gets wet.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed
- Let us know about parking restrictions
- Clear the area around the work

Bathroom resealing in Cowcaddens
Across Cowcaddens, the joints we reseal are the ones that fail in any home: the long edge of the bath, the base of the shower tray, the back of the basin and the line along the worktop. Each one is stripped, cleaned and dried before new silicone goes in. We work on kitchen worktops & upstands, wet rooms and baths, and common reasons people get in touch are water escaping at the shower enclosure and a messy, uneven bead from a previous reseal.
Cowcaddens 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.
Your job is guaranteed for a year, as with all our work.

Aftercare tips
To keep the joints looking good and working properly:
- Keep scourers and sharp tools away from the bead
- Do not leave water standing on kitchen joints
- Stick to a soft cloth and a mild cleaner
- Don’t let bottles sit on the bead
Keep bottles and razors off the sealant line, because they trap water against the silicone. A quick squeegee after showering keeps water from sitting on the joint.
Small signs come before a leak: a corner lifting, a gap behind the bead, a dark line under the silicone or a damp patch on the ceiling below. Any of these means the joint needs attention.
Landlord and commercial work in Cowcaddens

Businesses can book us for washrooms, kitchens, offices and more. For commercial premises, we can talk through working times when we quote.
How the job changes by surface
Sinks & splashbacks
Next to the sink, the sealant has to cope with constant water, and a food-safe product where it’s needed. The bead is finished smooth so it wipes clean.
Shower trays & enclosures
There are usually two jobs in a shower: the tray-to-wall joint and the enclosure joints. Both take water every day, so both are resealed with anti-fungal sanitary silicone.

Why deal with it now?
Running new silicone over the old joint can look tidy for a few weeks, but it will not bond. Water creeps under it and mould follows, and the next reseal means two layers to cut out. Wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint on the outside of a city building, and in a tall building in Cowcaddens, damp can travel a long way before it shows.
A failed joint rarely gets cheaper to fix by waiting, because water and mould keep working on it. If you’re unsure, drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk and we’ll give you an honest view and a quote.

FAQs for Cowcaddens
I’m in a tenement in Cowcaddens. Could worn sealant affect the flat downstairs?
Yes, it can. In a tenement, water that gets past failed sealant or cracked grout can run under the bath or tray and through to the ceiling below, and then the repair involves your neighbours too. It’s worth sorting sealant and grout before it gets that far.
I let a flat near Charing Cross (Glasgow) station. Can you help?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. Just send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk and tell us about the property, and we’ll send you a clear quote.

Signs you need bathroom resealing in Cowcaddens
Plenty of failed sealant has been laid over the top of older sealant. Fresh silicone cannot grip the old bead underneath, so it peels, leaks and hides mould behind it.
The problems people generally mention when they call are:
- A reseal done over the top of the old bead
- Water escaping at the shower enclosure
- Damp behind the bath or under the tray
- Splits where the tray meets the wall
For landlords with property near Charing Cross (Glasgow) station, fresh sealant around the bath, shower and sink between tenancies helps a property present well and keeps leaks at bay.

DIY versus a professional finish
A DIY attempt does not rule out a professional job. We remove it and do the joint properly.
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and doesn’t move well, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.
