Keeping the joints in good condition
Joint life depends on how it’s used and looked after. We suggest:
- Give the silicone its full cure time
- Keep an eye on the corners, where splits start
- Avoid abrasive pads on the sealant
- Clean with a mild bathroom cleaner and a soft cloth
Have a look at the joints every few months. A small split or a corner lifting is easy to spot, and if anything looks wrong, just send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk.
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.
How we handle bathroom resealing in Shettleston
Kitchens need the same care as bathrooms. The joint between worktop and wall, the edge of the sink and the bottom of the splashback all take splashes every day, and water that gets into the back edge of a worktop can swell the board. We reseal them with a kitchen-suitable silicone, matched to the worktop where it’s on show. We work on baths, sinks & splashbacks and wet rooms, and common reasons people get in touch are shrunken sealant along the back of a worktop and water escaping at the shower enclosure.
Stone-built tenements are part of every Scottish city, alongside houses and newer flats. With flats above and below, a leak from a tired seal can reach the flat underneath.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything is not right with it, email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk.

What we do, step by step
On the day, we look over the joints with you first, so you know exactly what we’re doing. We protect the surfaces around the joints before any work begins. Most jobs take two to three hours for a typical bath, depending on how much old sealant there is. Inside a flat in Shettleston, the job is planned with you; outside, shared parts may need the factor or other owners involved. Tell us which applies when you book.
- We look at every joint first and check for movement or leaks.
- The old silicone is cut out completely, along with the film it leaves 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, normally around 24 hours.
Getting ready for the visit

Advice
Questions from Shettleston
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Carntyne station?
Yes. We work for landlords and letting agents as well as householders. You can drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk with the details for a clear quote.
I’m in a tenement in Shettleston. Could worn sealant affect the flat downstairs?
Yes. With flats above and below, a leak from a failed seal rarely stays in one flat. A proper reseal, with all the old sealant cut out, stops it at the source.
What do you need from me for a quote?
A short description and the location, plus photos if you have them. If we need more, we’ll ask.
Can new silicone go straight over the old?
No. It’s a common reason for reseals failing. We cut out all of the old sealant, clean the joint and start again.
Do you cover Shettleston?
Yes. We’re based in Crawley and work across South East England, London and Scotland, and that includes Shettleston.
What sealant do you use?
We choose the sealant for the joint, not the other way round. Where it moves, gets wet or faces the weather makes a difference, and we’ll explain our choice.
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.
Can you quote for more than one area?
Yes, we can. More than one area can be quoted together.

What affects the cost of bathroom resealing
For a quick quote, just ask. The main things that affect it are:
- The old material and how stubborn it is
- The product the joint needs
- How many rooms, windows or areas are involved
- The number and length of the joints
Some things make a job bigger or smaller: how much old sealant there is and how stubborn it is, any mould to treat, and whether we need extra access for height. Your quote takes all of that into account.
What to tell us for a quote
What to tell us when you ask for a quote:
- Access, such as stairs, a lift or height
- Pictures of the joints, sent by email
- Where the job is, and your postcode
- Whether it has been sealed before
It all starts with a short chat. Describe the problem, the location and the size of the job, and we will explain how we’d tackle it. Whenever you are ready, email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk.
Honest limits
Some problems need a builder, plumber or other trade rather than us:
- Leaks from a shower valve, waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
- Tiles that have come away from the wall
- A tray that rocks until it’s re-bedded
Not sure which it is? You can drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk and we’ll tell you honestly.
Joints and surfaces we work on
- Baths
- Kitchen worktops & upstands
- Sinks & splashbacks
- Basins & vanity units
- Wet rooms
- Shower trays & enclosures
What the job involves on each surface
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.
Sinks & splashbacks
Splashbacks in glass, tile or acrylic meet the worktop in a long joint. It’s resealed in white, clear or a colour to suit.
What bathroom resealing looks like in Shettleston
In Scotland, private landlords have to 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 does not dry out.
Schools such as Eastbank Academy are buildings too, and washroom and kitchen sealant there needs the same care as at home, and schools and businesses are part of our work as well as homes. Letting a property close to Carntyne station? Then a reseal between tenants is a quick way to make the bathroom and kitchen look cared for.

Can I do it myself?
Some jobs are best left to a professional: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions, then guaranteed for a year.
