Bathroom & kitchen resealing in Hillhead, Glasgow
Baths, showers and worktops in Hillhead need attention? We remove the old material, prepare the joints and seal them properly.
- Failed sealant on the screen profile
- Damp behind the bath or under the tray
- Shrunken sealant along the back of a worktop
Should I try it myself first?
If you’re 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 fails, we can still redo it.
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that is fine. We cut it out and start again, so tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
How we handle bathroom resealing in Hillhead
Homes in Hillhead have the same weak spots as anywhere else: the long edge of the bath, the base of the shower tray, the back of the basin and the line along the worktop. Every joint is cut out, cleaned and left dry before it’s resealed. We work on wet rooms, kitchen worktops & upstands and shower trays & enclosures, and people most often call us about a reseal done over the top of the old bead and smears of silicone across the tiles.
Hillhead is in one of Scotland’s four big cities, where many tenement bathrooms were fitted into rooms that weren’t built for them. Space is tight and ventilation can be poor, which is hard on sealant and grout.
Our work is backed for twelve months.

How the job changes by surface
Wet rooms
Wet room floors move slightly as they’re used, so the corners need a flexible seal, not grout. Where grout in a corner has cracked, we can replace it with sealant.
Shower trays & enclosures
Shower trays are sealed to the wall, and enclosures are sealed to the tray and tiles. Both get soaked every time the shower runs, so both are resealed with anti-fungal sanitary silicone.

What we are called out for in Hillhead
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.
Look out for these signs:
- A bead that has pulled away from the tiles
- Smears of silicone across the tiles
- A reseal done over the top of the old bead
- Failed sealant on the screen profile
For landlords with property near Partick station, a reseal between tenants is a quick way to make the bathroom and kitchen look cared for.

Bathroom resealing around Hillhead
Hillhead has hotels and guest accommodation nearby. Hotel bathrooms are part of our work as well as homes, and can be done room by room. Sandstone tenements are a big part of Glasgow’s housing, where most bathrooms sit above another flat.
In the older streets around Wellington Church, timber floors under older bathrooms flex, so joints need a sealant that moves with them. For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Hillhead High School, its toilets, changing areas and kitchens need their sealant renewed like any other building’s.

Questions from Hillhead
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Partick station?
Yes, we work for letting agents and landlords. Just send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk and tell us about the property, and we will send you a clear quote.
Do you take on hotel work around Hillhead?
Yes. Hotel and guest-house work is part of what we do. Jobs can be programmed room by room, with out-of-hours working possible to arrange.
Do you remove the old sealant?
Yes. All of the old material is cut out and the joint cleaned before applying anything new.
Does the resealing come with a guarantee?
Yes. Every job carries our one-year guarantee.
Where do you work from?
We work from Crawley. Our applicators cover Hillhead, along with the rest of our area.
Are you insured?
Yes, we’re fully insured for every job we do.
Can you quote for more than one area?
Yes, and it often makes sense. Doing several areas at once is normally more efficient.
What sealant do you use?
Products from Arbo and Everbuild, among others, picked for each joint. We will tell you what we’re using and why.
What happens if it’s left?
Tired sealant isn’t a reason to replace a bath or shower. Replacing the joint is normally all it takes, as long as the fittings themselves are sound. If something else is wrong, we will tell you. In a tenement flat in Hillhead, a failed seal is rarely just your problem: a leak can come through the ceiling below, and gaps in shared walls or fire-rated joints matter to every flat.
Rather than a set price list, we price the job in front of us: the amount of work, the old material and the access. The price is agreed before we begin.

What happens on the day
Once we are on site, we check the joints match what you told us. If we find something unexpected, we talk it through with you first. After that, the work takes two to three hours for a typical bath, depending on how much old sealant there is. For a tenement in Hillhead, work inside your flat is between us and you, while shared parts may need the factor or neighbours to agree. Tell us which applies when you book.
- 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.
- The joint is cleaned, degreased and treated for mould.
- 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, usually around 24 hours.
Getting ready for the visit
