Bathroom resealing in Cranhill, done properly
A reseal only lasts if the joint is properly prepared. 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 sinks & splashbacks, kitchen worktops & upstands and baths, and common reasons people get in touch are cracked, shrunken or lifting silicone and shrunken sealant along the back of a worktop.
Stone-built tenements are part of every Scottish city, 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 Cranhill as anywhere in the city.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything isn’t right with it, send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk.

Can I do it myself?
If you are set on DIY, put the effort into preparation: take out all the old sealant, make sure the joint is clean and dry, and give it the full cure time. If it does not work out, we can still put it right.
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.
Bathrooms and kitchens in Cranhill
Private landlords in Scotland must be registered and meet the Repairing Standard, which covers keeping fixtures and fittings in a reasonable state of repair. Tired, leaking sealant is worth putting right before a new tenant moves in. Sandstone tenements are a big part of Glasgow’s housing, where most bathrooms sit above another flat.
Managing a site like St Andrew's Secondary School? Then 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. For landlords with property near Carntyne station, mouldy sealant is one of the first things a new tenant notices, so it’s worth renewing between lets.

Looking after it afterwards
Joint life depends on how it’s used and looked after. We suggest:
- Keep the fan on for a while after bathing
- Wipe up water along the back of the worktop
- Keep scourers and sharp tools away from the bead
- Wipe the sealant dry after showering
Mould needs damp, so keep the room aired. Use the fan, or open a window, while you bathe and for a while afterwards, so the silicone gets a chance to dry.
Do not wait for a refit to deal with failed sealant. Like paintwork, sealant needs renewing from time to time, and replacing it when it fails protects the rest of the room.
What happens if it’s left?
Leaving a split or mouldy bead only stores up trouble. Water that gets behind a bath soaks into the floor, the panel and sometimes the ceiling below, and that is a far bigger job than a reseal. Wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint on the outside of a city building, and in a tall building in Cranhill, damp can travel a long way before it shows.
Doing several joints on one visit normally makes better use of the time than several visits. You’ll get one clear quote for the whole job.

What affects the cost of bathroom resealing
Some jobs are bigger than they look, and some smaller. The main factors:
- Any mould that needs treating
- The old material and how stubborn it is
- How many rooms, windows or areas are involved
- The amount of work
A few things move the cost up or down: the old material and how easily it comes out, whether mould needs treating, and whether we need extra access for height. We take all of that into account in your quote.
What to tell us for a quote
To help us quote quickly, let us know:
- Pictures of the joints, sent by email
- Any access issues, like height or stairs
- If someone has resealed it before
- What the problem is, such as mould, gaps, leaks or cracking
The more we know about the job, the more useful the quote. Tell us where the job is, what’s wrong and how much there is.
How it works
There’s no need to move everything out before we come, only the area right around the joints. We protect the rest, and the job takes two to three hours for a typical bath, depending on how much old sealant there is for a typical job. For a tenement in Cranhill, work inside your flat is between us and you, while shared parts may need the factor or neighbours to agree. It helps to know which it is when you get in touch.
- We look at every joint first and check for movement or leaks.
- The old silicone is cut out completely, along with the film it leaves 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.
How to prepare
- On commercial sites, let us know about site rules
- Let us know if you’ve seen damp or leaks
- Let us know about parking restrictions

FAQs for Cranhill
Do you work for landlords with property near Carntyne station?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. Just email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk and tell us about the property, and we’ll give you a clear price.
Is Cranhill in your area for bathroom resealing?
Yes. Our work covers the whole of Scotland, and Cranhill is part of that. You can drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk and let us know what needs doing, and we’ll send you a clear quote.
Do you take out the old sealant first?
Always. Sealing over old sealant is the main reason resealing fails early, so we never do it.
Do the sealants smell?
That depends on the sealant. Some smell for a while, some hardly at all, and any smell fades as they cure.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes. All our work comes with a 12-month guarantee, and we’re fully insured.
What do you put in the joint?
Products from Arbo and Everbuild, among others, picked for each joint. We’ll tell you what we’re using and why.
Can you do several jobs on one visit?
Of course. Doing several areas at once is generally more efficient.
Can I do it myself?
Some simple jobs can be done by a careful DIYer. Most DIY failures come from sealing over old material, wet joints or too much sealant.
Different surfaces, different methods
Basins & vanity units
Basins take less water than showers, but the joint behind them is splashed every day. Old sealant there often goes black at the corners, and we treat it exactly as we would a bath.
Wet rooms
In a wet room, the joints between floor and walls take standing water. They get anti-fungal sanitary silicone, working on the surface joints, not the tanking or drainage.
