Glazing silicone in Baillieston, done properly
Frameless shower screens rely on sealant to keep water in. The joint down the wall and the one along the tray are common leak points and both get fresh anti-fungal silicone. We’re often asked to deal with new silicone smeared over old sealant and stained, discoloured glazing silicone, across glass balustrade bases, glass-to-frame joints and rooflights.
Mastic can only go onto a dry joint, so outside work in Baillieston depends on the weather. Tell us about access to all the windows and doors, upstairs included.
Our work is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you are.

FAQs for Baillieston
Is Baillieston in your area for glazing silicone?
Yes. We work across all of Scotland, and Baillieston is part of that. You can send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk and let us know what needs doing.
Do you work for landlords with property near Baillieston station?
Yes. We work for landlords and agents as well as homeowners. You can send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk with the details for a clear quote.
Do the sealants smell?
Sometimes, a little. Any smell clears as the sealant cures.
Is it worth trying it myself?
That depends on the joint. Work at height, movement joints, fire-rated gaps and large areas are best left to a professional, while a short indoor joint may be within reach.
Do you replace glass?
That’s not something we do. Misting between panes means the sealed unit has failed, and a glazier needs to replace it.
What does glazing silicone cost?
It depends on the job, so we quote each one individually. For a quick quote, drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk and tell us what needs doing and where.
Is a special sealant needed for glass?
A neutral-cure glazing silicone that suits the glass and frame. In bathrooms, we use anti-fungal silicone.
Can you do several jobs on one visit?
Yes. Tell us about everything you’d like done and you will get one quote.
For landlords and businesses
Businesses can book us for washrooms, kitchens, offices and more. For commercial premises, we can talk through working times when we quote.
In hotels, rooms out of use cost money, so we plan the work room by room around your bookings where we can. Hotel work is part of what we do, alongside homes and businesses.
Common problems we fix in Baillieston
New silicone over old silicone will not bond. Plenty of leaks come from a quick top-up over the old bead, and water gets between the layers.
It’s worth asking for a quote if you see:
- Leaks from the base of a shower screen
- Failed joints on frameless glass
- Water tracking down the inner face of the glass
- New silicone smeared over old sealant
In the older streets around Baillieston St Andrew's Church, the windows may be timber, sash or later replacements, and each needs the right sealant against the wall.

What the job involves on each surface
Rooflights
Rooflights get the full force of the weather. The sealant around the glass and frame wears faster than most.
Shower screens
Mouldy or lifting sealant on a screen leaks. Cutting it out and resealing fixes it.
What happens on the day
Every visit runs the same way: we check the joints, mask and protect the surrounding surfaces, carry out the job and tidy away. Most jobs take anything from an hour or two to most of a day, depending on the size of the job. Around Baillieston, distance and access matter more than parking. Tell us how to find the property and how to reach the work, and the visit is planned around that.
- First we agree the joints to be done.
- Old sealant is removed from the glass and frame.
- The surfaces are cleaned with a suitable solvent.
- We apply and tool the new silicone.
- We inspect the work and test it where we can.
Before we arrive
- Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints
- For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can
- Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work
Getting a quote
It all starts with a short chat. Describe the problem, the location and the size of the job. Whenever you’re ready, drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk.

DIY sealant or a professional job?
Some jobs are best left to a professional: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas need the right product, the right access and the right method.
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.

Looking after it afterwards
To keep the joints looking good and working properly:
- Keep scrapers and blades away from the silicone
- Keep conservatory gutters clear of leaves
- Check the silicone on glass every year or so
- Ventilate the conservatory to cut condensation
Follow the cure time we give you before the joints get wet so the silicone can set properly. From then on, a mild glass cleaner is all it needs.
Drips or damp near a glazing joint shouldn’t be ignored. The cause may be sealant or another part, and we’ll tell you which.
Honest limits
Sealant is not the answer to every problem, and we’d rather say so up front. It won’t solve:
- Leaks from the roof covering or flashing (a roofer’s job)
- A sagging or failing conservatory roof
- Rotten or badly damaged frames
If in doubt, drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk and we will say what we think.

Glazing silicone in Baillieston: local notes
Many older homes in Scotland have sash and case windows, often pointed into the wall with traditional sand mastic. With historic houses such as Provand's Lordship (about 4.9 miles west) nearby, there’s older building stock in the area around Baillieston as well as newer homes. In older buildings, older timber frames in brick or stone need a different approach from a modern uPVC window.
Schools such as Bannerman High School are buildings too, and its window and door frames need their mastic kept sound, just like a home’s. Rented homes near Baillieston station change hands often, and a shower screen or conservatory joint that leaks is easier to reseal while the property is empty.
