Bathroom & kitchen resealing in Old Balornock, Glasgow
We cover Old Balornock for bath, shower, basin, wet room, worktop and sink resealing. Old material cut out, joints cleaned and sealed neatly and every job guaranteed for a year.
- A reseal done over the top of the old bead
- Gaps where the bath or tray has moved
- Smears of silicone across the tiles
What we cannot put right
Sealant is not the answer to every problem, and we’ll tell you before any work starts. It will not solve:
- A tray or bath that is cracked through
- A tray that rocks until it’s re-bedded
- Leaks from a shower valve, waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
If you are not sure, just send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk and we will give you a straight answer.
Joints and surfaces we work on
- Kitchen worktops & upstands
- Sinks & splashbacks
- Shower trays & enclosures
- Wet rooms
- Baths
- Basins & vanity units
How we handle bathroom resealing in Old Balornock
Mr Mastic has more than 20 years’ experience of sealant work, and our applicators reseal bathrooms and kitchens across Old Balornock. We’re ARBOMaster approved and fully insured, and every job carries our one-year guarantee. We work on basins & vanity units, kitchen worktops & upstands and baths, and the jobs we see most are water getting behind the kitchen upstand and splits where the tray meets the wall.
Stone-built tenements are part of every Scottish city, alongside houses and newer flats. In a tenement, most bathrooms sit above someone else’s ceiling, so failed sealant around a bath or shower can soon become a neighbour’s problem.
You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Old Balornock as everywhere else we work.

Why act early in Old Balornock
Tired sealant is not a reason to replace a bath or shower. A new bead often brings the whole room back, provided the bath, tray and tiles are in good order. If we find a deeper problem, you’ll hear it from us. In a Scottish city tenement, failed sealant affects more than one flat: water can reach the flat below, and gaps in shared walls or fire-stopping affect the whole stair.
The cost reflects the work involved, not guesswork. That’s why we ask a few questions first.

Should I try it myself first?
If you do try it yourself, take your time over the preparation: remove every trace of old sealant, clean and dry the joint, and follow the product’s cure time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still put it right.
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. Silicone doesn’t stick to old silicone, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. All the old material has to come out first.
Signs you need bathroom resealing in Old Balornock
Not every tube in the shop is meant for a shower. Decorators’ caulk and all-purpose sealants are not made for constant wetting, so they crack, discolour or grow mould quickly. Wet areas call for a sanitary silicone with an anti-fungal additive.
Most people get in touch after spotting one of these:
- Failed sealant on the screen profile
- Smears of silicone across the tiles
- Mouldy sealant that has gone black
- Shrunken sealant along the back of a worktop
If you look after a building such as St. Roch's Secondary School, we reseal washrooms and kitchens in schools and businesses as well as homes.

Common questions in Old Balornock
I’m in a tenement in Old Balornock. Could worn sealant affect the flat downstairs?
It can. Tenement floors are usually timber, and water from a failed seal can find its way down to the flat below, and then the repair involves your neighbours too. It’s worth sorting sealant and grout before it gets that far.
I let a flat near Barnhill station. Can you help?
Yes. We work for landlords and letting agents as well as homeowners, and several properties can go on one quote. Just email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk with the address and what needs doing, and we’ll give you a clear price.
Can you do several jobs on one visit?
Yes. Just list everything you need and we will quote it together.
Where are you based?
Mr Mastic is based in Crawley. Our applicators cover Old Balornock, along with the rest of our area.
Is there any odour?
There can be a smell while the sealant cures, which fades as it sets. Opening a window helps.
What sealant do you use?
Each joint gets the product that suits it. Movement, water and weather all affect the choice.
Can new silicone go straight over the old?
No, and it’s one of the main reasons reseals fail. The old joint is stripped, cleaned and resealed from scratch.
What colours of sealant can you use?
White, clear and a range of colours are available. On a worktop we colour-match where the joint shows.

What the job involves on each surface
Basins & vanity units
The back of a basin gets wet every time someone washes. Old sealant there often goes black at the corners, so it’s cut out and renewed just like a bath joint.
Kitchen worktops & upstands
Upstands and back edges are cut out, cleaned of grease and resealed, since cooking leaves a film that stops silicone sticking. Proper degreasing is what helps the new joint last.
Bathrooms and kitchens in Old Balornock
Glasgow has a lot of sandstone tenements, so many bathrooms sit right above a neighbour’s ceiling. 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 does not dry out.
Homes close to Our Lady of Good Counsel Church include some older properties, and walls and floors in older homes can move, and sealant and grout show it first. Letting a property close to Barnhill station? Then fresh sealant around the bath, shower and sink between tenancies helps a property present well and keeps leaks at bay.

How it works

After that, the work takes around two hours for one bath or shower, longer for a whole bathroom. For a tenement in Old Balornock, 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.
