About our bathroom resealing in Shawlands
It is not only bathrooms. Worktop upstands, sink edges and splashback joints get wet every single day, and water behind a laminate worktop can make it swell. Kitchen joints get a sealant suited to kitchens, colour-matched where it shows. We are often asked to deal with splits where the tray meets the wall and black mould in the silicone that won’t clean off, across sinks & splashbacks, wet rooms and shower trays & enclosures.
Tenement flats are common in all four of Scotland’s big cities, alongside houses and newer flats. With flats above and below, a leak from a tired seal can reach the flat underneath.
All of our work is guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you are.

What else we do in Shawlands
Different surfaces, different methods
Shower trays & enclosures
A tray that rocks will split any sealant. Movement is checked before anything is resealed, and tell you if it needs re-bedding first.
Baths
Acrylic baths flex the most, and even steel and cast iron baths settle slightly when full. Loading the bath with water before sealing allows for it.

Glasgow has a lot of sandstone tenements, where most bathrooms sit above another flat. Shawlands has hotels and guest accommodation nearby. As well as homes, we work in hotel bathrooms, where resealing and regrouting can be done room by room.

Homes close to Shawlands Trinity Church and Halls include some older properties, and walls and floors in older homes can move, and sealant and grout show it first.

Why it’s worth doing now in Shawlands
Fresh sealant smartens a bathroom or kitchen with very little disruption, which matters if you’re letting a property or selling it. Lumpy sealant with smears on the tiles has the opposite effect. Wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint on the outside of a city building, and in a tall building in Shawlands, damp can travel a long way before it shows.
Every job is a little different, so we quote each one individually. The number of joints, how easy they are to reach and the sealant needed all play a part.

What happens on the day
Our applicators work methodically: protection first, then preparation, sealing and a tidy-up. For most jobs that takes around two hours for one bath or shower, longer for a whole bathroom and we leave things clean and tidy. Parking in city streets around Shawlands can be tight or controlled, so it helps to know about permits or nearby bays. If you are in a flat, let us know how we get in at the street door.
- 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.
- Baths are filled first, then anti-fungal sanitary silicone is applied in a colour to suit.
- The joint is finished neatly and we explain when it can get wet.
How to prepare
- Keep children and pets away from the work area
- Tell us about any previous sealing or DIY attempts
- Let us know if you’ve seen damp or leaks

Advice
Your questions about bathroom resealing in Shawlands
Do you take on hotel work around Shawlands?
Yes, hotels and guest houses are among the places we work. Rooms can be done a few at a time, so the building stays open.
Do you work for landlords with property near Shawlands station?
Yes, we work for landlords and agents. You can email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk with the address and a few details, and we will give you a fixed price before work begins.
Do you take out the old sealant first?
Always. Sealing over the old bead is the commonest cause of early failure, so we never do it.
When can I use the bath or shower again?
The surface skins over fairly quickly, but the bead needs longer to cure right through. Keep water off it for around 24 hours, or as long as we advise for that product.
Do you hold any approvals?
Yes. ARBOMaster is the approved applicator scheme for Arbo sealants, and we are part of it.
Can you quote for more than one area?
Yes, and it often makes sense. Doing several areas at once is normally more efficient.
My sealant has gone black. Can you sort it?
Yes, we can. We strip the bead, treat the joint and lay new anti-fungal silicone.
How long does a bath or shower reseal take?
It depends on how many joints there are and how much old sealant has to come out. For most single baths or showers, allow a couple of hours.
What we are called out for in Shawlands
Mould is the reason many people want their sealant replaced. Steamy rooms that do not dry out give mould all the damp it needs, and mould that has grown into the silicone generally will not clean off.
Keep an eye out for these signs:
- Black spots spreading through the bead
- Water escaping at the shower enclosure
- Shrunken sealant along the back of a worktop
- Sealant that has split, shrunk or peeled away
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Shawlands Academy, its toilets, changing areas and kitchens need their sealant renewed like any other building’s.
What to look for in a quote
- How much experience the applicator has
- Is the old sealant removed completely?
- How the surfaces are prepared before sealing
- What the quote includes, VAT included or not
Looking after it afterwards
A little care helps the new joints last. We recommend:
- Move toiletries away from the joint
- Stick to a soft cloth and a mild cleaner
- Wipe the sealant dry after showering
- Keep scourers and sharp tools away from the bead
Give the silicone time to cure before it gets wet, following the cure time we give you. Once it’s cured, wiping it down after use keeps it looking new.
There’s no need to wait for a full refurbishment. Sealant is a maintenance item, like the paint on a window frame, and replacing it when it fails protects the rest of the room.
Landlord and commercial work in Shawlands
We also work for property managers and facilities teams. We can quote a run of properties together, and we’re fully insured.
A neglected joint can let water reach the structure, which matters even more when someone else lives there. Resealing at the right time is simple maintenance.
