Bathroom resealing in Garthamlock
The bead of silicone around a bath, tray or worktop is what keeps water out of the gaps. When it splits, shrinks or turns black, water gets behind it. Our team cut the old bead out completely and lay a new one in anti-fungal sanitary silicone. We are often asked to deal with leaking joints on a shower screen and leaks into the floor or ceiling below, on wet rooms, kitchen worktops & upstands and baths.
Being further from a city doesn’t change the work: everything old is cut out, the joints are cleaned and dried, and new sealant or grout goes in. The journey and access are simply planned in advance.
You’re covered for a year from the day we finish. If anything is not right with it, drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk.

DIY sealant or a professional job?
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, 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.
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and does not move well, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.
How to look after the new joints
So the new joints stay in good condition:
- Wait for the cure time we give you
- Keep the fan on for a while after bathing
- Wipe the sealant dry after showering
- Do not let bottles sit on the bead
Treat the new bead gently when you clean: a mild bathroom cleaner and a soft cloth is enough. Avoid scouring pads and anything sharp, and a nicked bead lets mould in sooner.
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.

Bathroom resealing in Garthamlock: local notes
Sandstone tenements are a big part of Glasgow’s housing, so many bathrooms sit right above a neighbour’s ceiling. Private landlords in Scotland must be registered and meet the Repairing Standard, which includes keeping fixtures and fittings in reasonable repair. Failed sealant around a bath or shower is worth sorting between tenancies.
If you live in an older home near Saint Benedict's Church, older homes can move a little, which is hard on rigid grout and tired sealant. Letting a property close to Stepps station? Then fresh sealant around the bath, shower and sink between tenancies helps a property present well and keeps leaks at bay. If you look after a building such as St Andrew's Secondary School, its toilets, changing areas and kitchens need their sealant renewed like any other building’s.

Around Garthamlock
Around Garthamlock, our work takes us to homes and buildings near St. Leonard's Secondary School, among other places. The nearest railway station is Stepps station, roughly 1.3 miles north of the centre. Well-known places in the area include Glasgow Fort (within half a mile east) and Tollcross Museum (2 miles south-west). For a walk, there’s Lenzie Moss and Hogganfield Loch.
How it works
On the day, there’s very little for you to do. Show us the job and we’ll take it from there. The work itself takes a couple of hours for one bath or shower, or most of a day for a full bathroom and kitchen from start to finish. Outside jobs in Garthamlock need a dry day, because sealant will not bond to a wet joint, so external jobs may need to move if the day turns wet. Indoor work goes ahead whatever the weather.
- Protection goes down around the bath, shower or worktop.
- We cut away the old sealant and clean off what’s left.
- We treat any mould and let the joint dry properly.
- Any bath is filled with water, then we lay a bead of anti-fungal silicone in white, clear or a matching colour.
- The joint is finished neatly and we explain when it can get wet.
Before we arrive
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before
- Let us know about parking restrictions
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit

What we cannot put right
Some problems need a builder, plumber or other trade rather than us:
- Cracked or missing grout between tiles (that’s regrouting)
- Loose or hollow tiles, or failed tanking behind them
- A cracked shower tray or bath (that needs repair or replacement)
Not sure which it is? You can drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk and we will tell you honestly.

Why it’s worth doing now in Garthamlock
Bleach and mould sprays may lighten black marks for a while, but mould that has grown into the sealant tends to return. The lasting answer is to remove the bead and start again. When the nearest tradesperson is a drive away, it’s tempting to leave a small leak, but water behind a failed seal does the most damage when nobody’s watching.
Combining jobs into one visit usually makes better use of the time than several visits. We will give you a clear price for the lot.

Will there be a smell?

Do you remove the old sealant?
Yes, always, and completely. New sealant will not bond properly to old, so any old material comes out before anything new goes in.
Surface by surface
Shower trays & enclosures
If a tray moves underfoot, new silicone will not last. We check for movement before we reseal, and if the tray needs refixing, we will say so.
Basins & vanity units
On a basin, neatness shows: the bead is right in front of you, so it’s tooled cleanly and evenly, in white, clear or a colour to suit.
