About our bathroom resealing in Simshill
Mr Mastic has more than 20 years’ experience of sealant work, and our applicators reseal bathrooms and kitchens across Simshill. We are fully insured ARBOMaster approved applicators, and the work comes with a 12-month guarantee. We work on shower trays & enclosures, baths and wet rooms, and common reasons people get in touch are water getting behind the bath panel and gaps between the worktop and the wall.
Simshill 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, and steam with nowhere to go is what turns sealant black and grout grey.
Our work is backed for twelve months.

Bathrooms and kitchens in Simshill
Scotland’s water is generally soft, so sealant and grout see less limescale than in much of England. But mould still grows into sealant and grout in a room that does not dry out. Glasgow has a lot of sandstone tenements, so many bathrooms sit right above a neighbour’s ceiling.
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as St Margaret Mary's Secondary School, its toilets, changing areas and kitchens need their sealant renewed like any other building’s.

Should I try it myself first?
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that is fine. We remove it and do the joint properly.
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the 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.
Surface by surface
Wet rooms
A wet room floor and its walls can move independently, so the corners need a flexible seal, not grout. Cracked grout in a corner can be cut out and replaced with silicone.
Kitchen worktops & upstands
The joint between worktop and wall takes splashes, crumbs and cleaning sprays. We seal them in a colour that suits the worktop, so the line doesn’t stand out.

Common questions in Simshill
Do you cover Simshill for bathroom resealing?
Yes, Simshill is within the area we cover. We work across all of Scotland. You can email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk and let us know what needs doing, and we’ll send you a clear quote.
I let a flat near Cathcart station. Can you help?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for. You can email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk with the details for a clear quote.
What do you need from me for a quote?
Where the job is, what the problem is and roughly how big it is. If you can, email a few pictures.
Can you get rid of the black mould in my sealant?
Yes. Mould inside the bead rarely cleans out for good, so we cut it out, treat the joint and reseal with anti-fungal silicone.
Do you do kitchens as well as bathrooms?
Yes. The old sealant is cut out and the joint degreased, because cooking grease stops silicone sticking, then a colour-matched bead is laid.
Does the resealing come with a guarantee?
Yes. All our work comes with a 12-month guarantee.
How long will the resealing take?
That depends on the number of joints and the state of the old sealant. For most single baths or showers, allow a couple of hours.
Where are you based?
We’re a Crawley-based firm, with over 20 years’ experience. We work across South East England, London and Scotland.
Work for landlords, hotels and businesses
Housing providers, facilities teams and property managers book us too in Simshill and across Glasgow. Several sites can go on one quote, and we are fully insured for the work.
Letting agents often deal with us directly. Tell us the address, the job and how access works.
What happens if it’s left?
Bleach and mould sprays may lighten black marks for a while, but mould that has grown into the sealant tends to return. The lasting answer is to remove the bead and start again. Scottish rain finds any gap around a frame or wall joint, and in a tall building in Simshill, damp can travel a long way before it shows.
The cost depends on the size of the job, how hard the old material is to remove and access to the work. You’ll have a clear quote before any work starts, so you know where you stand.

Common problems we fix in Simshill
Silicone does not last for ever. Every shower, every splash and every wipe with a cleaner slowly wear it down, so its life depends on how the room is used, cleaned and aired.
People normally contact us when they notice something like this:
- Leaks into the floor or ceiling below
- Black mould in the silicone that will not clean off
- Water escaping at the shower enclosure
- Sealant that has split, shrunk or peeled away
For landlords with property near Cathcart station, fresh sealant around the bath, shower and sink between tenancies helps a property present well and keeps leaks at bay.

How it works
All our tools and materials come with us in the van. Once we’ve agreed what’s being done, we protect the area and start. It normally takes two to three hours for a typical bath, depending on how much old sealant there is. Parking in city streets around Simshill can be tight or controlled, so it helps to know about permits or nearby bays. For flats, mention the door entry system and any shared-stair arrangements.
- We look at every joint first and check for movement or leaks.
- Every trace of the old bead is removed, including the thin smear on the tiles.
- The joint is cleaned, degreased and treated for mould.
- When the joint is dry, and a bath has been filled with water, the new silicone goes on.
- We tool the bead to a neat finish and give you the cure time, generally around 24 hours.
Before we arrive
- Let us know if you’ve seen damp or leaks
- Tell us about access, such as stairs, a lift or high-level joints
- Move anything stored near the joints
