Bathroom resealing for homes and businesses in Toryglen
The bead of silicone around a bath, tray or worktop is what keeps water out of the gaps. Once it cracks or goes mouldy, water starts to find its way through and into the wall or floor. Every trace of the old sealant is taken out and replaced with anti-fungal sanitary silicone. Typical jobs include a bead that has pulled away from the tiles and water getting behind the kitchen upstand, on sinks & splashbacks, baths and kitchen worktops & upstands.
Stone-built tenements are part of every Scottish city, 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.
Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by our one-year guarantee.

Toryglen questions
Do you work for landlords with property near Kings Park station?
Yes, we work for landlords and agents. You can send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk with the address and a few details, and we’ll give you a fixed price before work begins.
Do you work for hotels and guest houses in Toryglen?
Yes, hospitality work, including hotels, is part of what we do. Work can be planned room by room, and out-of-hours working can be arranged.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes. All our work comes with a 12-month guarantee, and we are fully insured.
Are you insured?
Yes. We’re fully insured.
How long before the new sealant can get wet?
Silicone is touch-dry quite quickly, but it takes longer to cure. Keep water off it for around 24 hours, or follow the cure time we give you.
Can you get rid of the black mould in my sealant?
Yes. Mould inside the bead rarely cleans out for good, so the bead comes out, the joint is treated and new anti-fungal silicone goes in.
Is it worth trying it myself?
For a simple, easy-to-reach joint, a careful DIYer can do a reasonable job. Most DIY failures come from sealing over old material, wet joints or too much sealant.
Will there be a smell?
Some sealants have a smell while they cure, but it fades. Ventilation helps.

Keeping the joints in good condition
Once the sealant has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Use gentle cleaners on the silicone
- Dry worktop joints after washing up
- Give the silicone its full cure time
- Dry the bead with a towel now and then
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 drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk.
Small signs come before a leak: a corner lifting, a gap behind the bead, a dark line under the silicone or a damp patch on the ceiling below. If you spot one, it’s time to reseal.

Signs you need bathroom resealing in Toryglen
A bath shifts a little every time it’s filled and emptied. Acrylic in particular gives slightly under the weight of water and a person, while a poorly supported tray can shift underfoot. Over time the joint tears or pulls away from the tile.
Keep an eye out for these signs:
- Black spots spreading through the bead
- Water escaping at the shower enclosure
- A bead that has pulled away from the tiles
- A messy, uneven bead from a previous reseal
If you look after a building such as Holyrood Secondary School, its toilets, changing areas and kitchens need their sealant renewed like any other building’s.
Questions to ask before you book
- Are they insured?
- What the quote includes, VAT included or not
- Whether all the old sealant comes out first
- What guarantee comes with the work
DIY sealant or a professional job?
A DIY attempt does not rule out a professional job. We cut it out and start again, so just mention it when you contact us.
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. New silicone will not bond to old, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. Everything old must be removed first.
When something else is needed
Some problems need a builder, plumber or other trade rather than us:
- Water getting in through the grout rather than the sealant
- A leaking waste, trap or valve
- A tray or bath that’s cracked through
If in doubt, drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk and we will say what we think.
Surfaces we seal
- Kitchen worktops & upstands
- Sinks & splashbacks
- Basins & vanity units
- Baths
- Wet rooms
- Shower trays & enclosures
