About our bathroom resealing in Sandyhills
The secret of a lasting bead is the preparation. Every bit of old silicone comes out, down to the thin film left on the tiles, then the joint is cleaned, degreased and treated for mould. Only once it’s dry does the new bead go on. We work on baths, kitchen worktops & upstands and shower trays & enclosures, and the jobs we see most are failed sealant on the screen profile and gaps between the worktop and the wall.
Scotland’s cities have a lot of flats, from sandstone or granite tenements to modern blocks, as well as houses in the suburbs. Generally soft Scottish water means less limescale, but steam and poor ventilation still let mould into the sealant and grout.
Each job carries a 12-month guarantee.

Bathroom resealing around Sandyhills
In Scotland, private landlords have to meet the Repairing Standard, which includes keeping fixtures and fittings in reasonable repair. Tired, leaking sealant is worth putting right before a new tenant moves in. Glasgow has a lot of sandstone tenements, where most bathrooms sit above another flat.
Rented homes near Shettleston station change hands often, and a reseal between tenants is a quick way to make the bathroom and kitchen look cared for.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Sandyhills
Water getting past a failed joint can damage the building, which is a bigger problem in a rented property. Keeping joints in good order is simple maintenance that we can handle for you.
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Tell us the address, the job and how access works and we’ll quote.
Should I try it myself first?
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. New silicone will not bond to old, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. Everything old must be removed first.
Not every job suits DIY: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs need the right product, the right access and the right method.
When it is not the sealant
We’d rather tell you now than do work that will not last, so these are the limits:
- Failed grout lines across the wall
- Movement from a bath with loose feet or no proper support
- A leaking waste, trap or valve
Not sure which it is? You can drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk and we will tell you honestly before you book.
What we seal
- Sinks & splashbacks
- Shower trays & enclosures
- Kitchen worktops & upstands
- Baths
- Wet rooms
- Basins & vanity units
Your questions about bathroom resealing in Sandyhills
I’m in a tenement in Sandyhills. Could worn sealant affect the flat downstairs?
Yes. With flats above and below, a leak from a failed seal rarely stays in one flat. Cutting out the old sealant and laying a fresh bead puts a stop to it.
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Shettleston station?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for. Just drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk with the address and what needs doing, and we will give you a clear price.
Is white the only colour available?
Most people choose white or clear, but other colours can be used to suit tiles and worktops. Let us know your preference when you ask for a quote.
Do you work in Sandyhills?
Yes, we do. Sandyhills is part of the area we cover, and the service is the same as everywhere else.
What do you put in the joint?
The product depends on the job: anti-fungal sanitary silicone in wet areas, and other sealants where joints move or face the weather. We use products from Arbo and Everbuild.
Can you reseal around my kitchen sink and worktop?
Yes. Where it’s needed by the sink, we use a food-safe sealant.
Do you do commercial work?
Yes. Hotels, offices and other businesses use us and we’re fully insured.
Where are you based?
Our base is Crawley, with over 20 years’ experience. We work across South East England, London and Scotland.
What we are called out for in Sandyhills
Plenty of failed sealant has been laid over the top of older sealant. New silicone will not bond to old silicone, so it lifts, lets water in and traps mould underneath.
Look out for these signs:
- Water getting behind the bath panel
- Two layers of silicone, both failing
- Smears of silicone across the tiles
- Failed sealant on the screen profile
If you look after a building such as Eastbank Academy, its toilets, changing areas and kitchens need their sealant renewed like any other building’s.
What your quote should include
- Which colour the sealant will be
- How long the guarantee is
- Whether all the old sealant comes out first
- How long to leave it before use

What else we do in Sandyhills
Why deal with it now?
Tired sealant is not a reason to replace a bath or shower. Replacing the joint is normally all it takes, provided the bath, tray and tiles are in good order. If we find a deeper problem, you will hear it from us. Wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint on the outside of a city building, and in Sandyhills, damp can spread through stone and plaster before anyone sees it.
We don’t show prices on the website, because each job is priced on what it involves. For a quick quote, please email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk and we’ll talk you through it.

Aftercare tips
After the cure time, these simple habits help:
- Move toiletries away from the joint
- Never pick at the silicone with a blade
- Wipe up water along the back of the worktop
- Wait for the cure time we give you
Have a look at the joints every few months. A small split or a corner lifting is easy to spot, so if something does not look right, just email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk.
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.
How it works
All our tools and materials come with us in the van. After a quick look at the joints together, we protect the area and start. It normally takes around two hours for one bath or shower, longer for a whole bathroom. For a tenement in Sandyhills, 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.
- First the area is protected and every bit of old sealant removed, including the film left on the tiles.
- Next, the joint is cleaned and any mould is treated.
- We let it dry fully and fill the bath with water before sealing.
- A single bead of anti-fungal sanitary silicone is applied and tooled smooth.
- Finally we tidy up and explain the cure time before we leave.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention any parking rules near the property
- Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work
- Clear items away from the joints we are working on
