- Smears of silicone across the tiles
Common problems we fix in Hardgate
Sealing over old silicone is one of the commonest mistakes we find. New silicone will not bond to old silicone, so it lifts, lets water in and traps mould underneath.
Common reasons people contact us are:
- Leaks into the floor or ceiling below
- Water escaping at the shower enclosure
- Black mould in the silicone that will not clean off
- Lumpy, uneven sealant from a DIY attempt
For landlords with property near Singer station, fresh sealant around the bath, shower and sink between tenancies helps a property present well and keeps leaks at bay.

Bathroom resealing in Hardgate, done properly
A shower joint gets soaked every day. Tray edges, screen profiles and wet room joints all rely on silicone to stay watertight. Each gets a bead of anti-fungal sanitary silicone, finished smooth so water drains away rather than collecting. Typical jobs include a messy, uneven bead from a previous reseal and two layers of silicone, both failing, on shower trays & enclosures, basins & vanity units and wet rooms.
Bathrooms in smaller places like Hardgate work just as hard as those in the cities. Generally soft Scottish water means less limescale, but steam still lets mould into sealant and grout.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If there’s a problem with it, please email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk.

Are you ARBOMaster approved?

What the job involves on each surface
Wet rooms
If a wet room leaks, the cause may be the tanking or the drain rather than the joints. We check the joints and say so if the fault looks to be elsewhere.
Kitchen worktops & upstands
Worktop joints get wet and wiped every day. The new bead is colour-matched where it shows.
How to look after the new joints
Good habits help new joints last longer. Our tips:
- Squeegee the walls and tray after use
- Avoid abrasive pads on the sealant
- Wipe up water along the back of the worktop
- Keep the fan on for a while after bathing
Keep bottles and razors off the sealant line, as they hold water against it. A quick squeegee after showering keeps water from sitting on the joint.
A failed kitchen joint is easy to miss. Water gets behind the upstand and into the edge of a laminate worktop, where it can make the board swell. A reseal in time can save the worktop.
Hardgate homes and their sealant
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. Scottish Water supplies are generally soft, so limescale is less of a problem than in hard-water areas. But mould still grows into sealant and grout in a room that doesn’t dry out.
Managing a site like Clydebank High School? Then its toilets, changing areas and kitchens need their sealant renewed like any other building’s.

When something else is needed
We won’t take on work that will not last, so here’s what sealant cannot put right:
- Cracks in the tray itself rather than the joint
- Leaks from a shower valve, waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
- Cracked or missing grout between tiles (that is regrouting)
If you are not sure, just send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk and we will give you a straight answer.
