Bath, shower, basin, wet room, worktop and sink resealing for homes and businesses in Thornliebank and across Glasgow. Fully insured, ARBOMaster approved and guaranteed for a year.

- Water getting behind the bath panel
Should I try it myself first?
If you do try it yourself, take your time over the preparation: take out all the old sealant, make sure the joint is clean and dry, and give it the full cure time. If it fails, we can still redo it.
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.
About our bathroom resealing in Thornliebank
Mr Mastic has more than 20 years’ experience of sealant work, and our applicators reseal bathrooms and kitchens across Thornliebank. We’re fully insured ARBOMaster approved applicators, and the work comes with a 12-month guarantee. We work on sinks & splashbacks, baths and basins & vanity units, and people most often call us about lumpy, uneven sealant from a DIY attempt and cracked, shrunken or lifting silicone.
Tenement flats are common in all four of Scotland’s big cities, 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, and that’s as true in Thornliebank as anywhere in the city.
You are covered for a year from the day we finish. If anything isn’t right with it, drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk.

What we do, step by step
When we get to you, we check the joints match what you told us. If anything is different, we explain it before carrying on. After that, the work takes half a day or less for one room, longer when the kitchen is included. In a Scottish city, a lot of jobs are in tenement flats, up a common stair from a shared close. In Thornliebank, it helps to know the floor, the door entry arrangements and the nearest parking.
- We cover the area around the joints we’re working on.
- Old sealant is sliced away and the residue removed.
- Mould is treated, then the joint is left to dry thoroughly.
- Any bath is filled with water, then we lay a bead of anti-fungal silicone in white, clear or a matching colour.
- We finish the joint, clear up and tell you how long to leave it before it gets wet.
Before we arrive
- On commercial sites, let us know about site rules
- Mention any parking rules near the property
- Let us know if you’ve seen damp or leaks

Advice
What the job involves on each surface
Sinks & splashbacks
The edge of an inset sink is a common place for water to get under the worktop. We reseal the visible edge of the sink where it has failed.
Baths
The long joint down the side of a bath is where most leaks start, especially under a shower. We finish it with a single, even bead of anti-fungal silicone.

Work for landlords, hotels and businesses
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.
Housing providers, facilities teams and property managers book us too. Several sites can go on one quote, and we are fully insured for the work.
What happens if it’s left?
A clean new bead makes a room look cared for, which matters if you are letting a property or selling it. Lumpy sealant with smears on the tiles has the opposite effect. Scottish rain finds any gap around a frame or wall joint, and in a tall building in Thornliebank, damp can travel a long way before it shows.
Doing several joints on one visit normally makes better use of the time than several visits, so tell us about everything that needs sealing. We will give you a clear price for the lot.
What you get with us
- 20+ years of sealant experience
- Neat joints and a tidy finish
- White, clear, grey or coloured to suit, where the product allows
- Approved under the ARBOMaster scheme
Bathroom resealing in Thornliebank: local notes
Glasgow has a lot of sandstone tenements, so many bathrooms sit right above a neighbour’s ceiling. 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.
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Eastwood High School, 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.

Silicone needs a clean, dry surface without any grease to stick to. Soap residue, oils and leftover silicone film all get in the way, and a joint that looked fine soon begins to come away.
The most common problems we see are:
- Two layers of silicone, both failing
- Gaps between the worktop and the wall
- Failed sealant on the screen profile
- A messy, uneven bead from a previous reseal
Letting a property close to Whitecraigs station? Then fresh sealant around the bath, shower and sink between tenancies helps a property present well and keeps leaks at bay.

Thornliebank: your questions answered
Do you cover Thornliebank for bathroom resealing?
Yes, Thornliebank is within the area we cover. Our work covers the whole of Scotland. Just email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk with a few details of the job.
Can a failed shower seal in a tenement flat in Thornliebank leak into the flat below?
Yes, it can. In a tenement, water that gets past failed sealant or cracked grout can run under the bath or tray and through to the ceiling below, and then the repair involves your neighbours too. Replacing tired sealant early is the simplest way to avoid that.
What do you need from me for a quote?
Tell us what needs doing and where, with photos by email if possible. We will ask anything else we need to know.
How long before the new sealant can get wet?
Around 24 hours is typical, and we confirm the time for the product used. Getting it wet too early can spoil the new joint.
Do you do kitchens as well as bathrooms?
Yes. Kitchen joints get extra degreasing before the new bead goes on, then we reseal in a colour to suit.
Do the sealants smell?
There can be a smell while the sealant cures, which fades as it sets. Opening a window helps.
Where is Mr Mastic based?
Mr Mastic is based in Crawley. Our applicators cover Thornliebank.
Can you do several jobs on one visit?
Yes, and it often makes sense. Combining jobs makes good use of the visit, so mention them when you ask for a quote.
