Bathroom resealing across Glasgow: what to expect

Kitchens need the same care as bathrooms. The joint between worktop and wall, the edge of the sink and the bottom of the splashback get wet every single day, and water behind a laminate worktop can make it swell. We reseal them with a kitchen-suitable silicone, matched to the worktop where it’s on show. We work on sinks & splashbacks, kitchen worktops & upstands and baths, and people most often call us about leaks into the floor or ceiling below and splits where the tray meets the wall.

On the day, there’s very little for you to do. Show us the job and we will take it from there. The work itself takes around two hours for one bath or shower, longer for a whole bathroom, including the tidy-up.

  1. We look at every joint first and check for movement or leaks.
  2. Every trace of the old bead is removed, including the thin smear on the tiles.
  3. Joints are degreased and any mould is treated.
  4. With the joint dry, and any bath loaded with water, a single bead of anti-fungal silicone is applied.
  5. The bead is tooled smooth and you are told the cure time, normally around 24 hours.

What affects the price in Glasgow

No two jobs are quite the same, so we quote each one individually. The number of joints, how easy they are to reach and the sealant needed all play a part.

Bathrooms and kitchens across Glasgow

In Glasgow, bathroom resealing takes in flats, houses, rentals and businesses, in Hillhead, Dowanhill and Woodlands and well beyond. Wherever the job is, all the old material comes out before anything new goes in.

We work across all of Scotland, from the cities to the islands, and Glasgow is part of that. Longer journeys are planned in advance, and outdoor work around the weather.

Glasgow: Letting a property close to Anderston station? Then mouldy sealant is one of the first things a new tenant notices, so it’s worth renewing between lets. Schools such as Our Lady and St Margaret's Primary School are buildings too, and washroom and kitchen sealant there needs the same care as at home, and schools and businesses are part of our work as well as homes.

Should I try it myself first?

What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is, and the work is guaranteed for a year.

Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.

Landlord and commercial work in Glasgow

A neglected joint can let water reach the structure, which is a bigger problem in a rented property. Resealing at the right time is simple maintenance that we can handle for you.

From a single let to a portfolio, you get the same standard of work: the old material taken out, careful preparation and a 12-month guarantee.

Common problems we fix in Glasgow

A bath shifts a little every time it’s filled and emptied. An acrylic bath flexes under load, and a tray that isn’t fully bedded can rock. That movement works at the bead until it splits or peels away.

Look out for any of the following:

  • A bead that has pulled away from the tiles
  • Gaps between the worktop and the wall
  • A messy, uneven bead from a previous reseal
  • Splits where the tray meets the wall

How to look after the new joints

How long the joints last depends on use and care. Here’s what we suggest:

  • Use gentle cleaners on the silicone
  • Give the silicone its full cure time
  • Look for lifting corners and small gaps now and then
  • Wipe the sealant dry after showering

Treat the new bead gently when you clean: a mild bathroom cleaner and a soft cloth is enough. Scourers and blades can nick the surface, because a damaged bead gives mould a foothold.

A failed kitchen joint is easy to miss. Water gets behind the upstand and into the edge of a laminate worktop, and the board underneath can swell. Resealing before that happens protects the worktop.

What affects the cost of bathroom resealing

There’s no set price list, because jobs vary so much. What we look at:

  • The amount of work
  • How easy the joints are to reach
  • The type of sealant required
  • Whether there’s mould to deal with

Instead of a standard rate, we look at what your job involves: how many joints, what’s in them now and how we reach them. The price is agreed before we begin.

Glasgow: your questions answered

Do you do commercial work?

Yes. Commercial and hotel work is a large part of what we do, as well as homes. Working times can be discussed when we quote.

Do you work in Glasgow?

Yes. We work in Glasgow. For a quote, drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk.

Do you remove the old sealant?

Yes, always, and completely. New silicone doesn’t stick to old silicone, so the joint is cleaned back first.

Can tenants book the work?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

Is it worth trying it myself?

Some simple jobs can be done by a careful DIYer. The usual mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using too much.

Is there any odour?

That depends on the sealant. Some smell for a while, some hardly at all, and any smell fades as they cure.

Where do you work from?

Our base is Crawley. Our area covers South East England, London and Scotland.
