About our bathroom resealing in Kelvingrove
Mr Mastic has more than 20 years’ experience of sealant work, and our applicators reseal bathrooms and kitchens across Kelvingrove. We’re fully insured ARBOMaster approved applicators, and every job carries our one-year guarantee. Typical jobs include lumpy, uneven sealant from a DIY attempt and water getting behind the bath panel, on kitchen worktops & upstands, wet rooms and sinks & splashbacks.
From stone-built tenements to new flats and suburban houses, Kelvingrove is in a city with every kind of home. Generally soft Scottish water means less limescale, but steam and poor ventilation still let mould into the sealant and grout.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something is not right with it in that time, tell us and we will put it right.

Work for landlords, hotels and businesses
Hotels need rooms back in use, so the work can be planned room by room around your bookings where we can. Hotel work is part of what we do, alongside homes and businesses.
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, what’s needed and the access arrangements and we will quote.
Can I do it myself?
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, such as a straightforward joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.
If you are set on DIY, put the effort into preparation: remove every trace of old sealant, clean and dry the joint, and follow the product’s cure time. If it does not work out, we can still put it right.

Bathrooms and kitchens in Kelvingrove
Glasgow has a lot of sandstone tenements, so many bathrooms sit right above a neighbour’s ceiling. There are hotels and other places to stay in and around Kelvingrove. Hotel bathrooms are part of our work as well as homes, and can be done room by room.
Managing a site like Glasgow Gaelic School? Then its toilets, changing areas and kitchens need their sealant renewed like any other building’s. If you live in an older home near Kelvingrove Parish Church, bathrooms in older houses have often been refitted more than once, with sealant laid over sealant.

What the job involves on each surface
Baths
The long joint down the side of a bath is where most leaks start, especially under a shower. We finish it with a single, even bead of anti-fungal silicone.
Sinks & splashbacks
Water getting under the rim of an inset sink can soak the worktop. Where the sealant around the visible edge has failed, we renew it.
Common problems we fix in Kelvingrove
Silicone needs a clean, dry surface without any grease to stick to. Soap residue, oils and leftover silicone film all get in the way, so a rushed job can start to lift early.
Most people get in touch when they notice something like this:
- Water getting behind the bath panel
- Leaking joints on a shower screen
- Two layers of silicone, both failing
- Water getting behind the kitchen upstand
If you let a flat or house near Exhibition Centre station, a reseal between tenants is a quick way to make the bathroom and kitchen look cared for.

Keeping the joints in good condition
After the cure time, these simple habits help:
- Keep scourers and sharp tools away from the bead
- Let new sealant cure fully before it gets wet
- Move toiletries away from the joint
- Keep an eye on the corners, where splits start
Give the silicone time to cure before it gets wet, which is normally around 24 hours. After that, a quick wipe after showering helps keep it clean.
Each shower pushes a little more water through a failed joint. Over time that water reaches floors, walls and ceilings. Early resealing closes the gap before damage is done.

To make quoting easier, please include:
- How we’d reach the joints
- The type of property

- The rough size of the job

The process
The work is kept neat and contained to the joints we are treating, so you can carry on as normal. Expect the work to take a couple of hours for one bath or shower, or most of a day for a full bathroom and kitchen, and we explain the cure time before we leave. Inside a flat in Kelvingrove, the job is planned with you; outside, shared parts may need the factor or other owners involved. It helps to know which it is when you get in touch.
- First, each joint is checked for movement and signs of water.
- Every trace of the old bead is removed, including the thin smear on the tiles.
- Joints are degreased and any mould is treated.
- With the joint dry, and any bath loaded with water, a single bead of anti-fungal silicone is applied.
- We tool the bead to a neat finish and give you the cure time, normally around 24 hours.
Before we arrive
- Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed
- On commercial sites, let us know about site rules
- For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can

Advice
Kelvingrove questions
I let a flat near Exhibition Centre station. Can you help?
Yes. We work for letting agents and landlords as well as homeowners, and several properties can be quoted together. Just send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk with the address and what needs doing, and we’ll give you a clear price.
I’m in a tenement in Kelvingrove. 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.
Will you leave a mess?
Not at all. The area is protected while we work and cleaned up afterwards.
Do you work in Kelvingrove?
Yes, we do. Our applicators work in Kelvingrove.
What colours of sealant can you use?
Most people choose white or clear, but other colours can be used to suit tiles and worktops. Tell us what you’d like when you get in touch.
Where is Mr Mastic based?
Mr Mastic is based in Crawley. Our applicators cover Kelvingrove.
Does someone need to be in?
For indoor joints, yes, someone needs to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Are you ARBOMaster approved?
Yes. We hold ARBOMaster approved applicator status.
