What the job involves on each surface
Shower screens
A screen’s wall joint and tray joint are where leaks start. We reseal both with anti-fungal silicone.
Rooflights
Rooflight leaks can come from the sealant or the roof. We check which it is.
Glazing silicone in Baltasound
Cracked, stained or lifting silicone on glass spoils the look and lets water in. We remove it without scratching the glass or frame and reseal the joint. We work on rooflights, glass balustrade bases and shower screens, and common reasons people get in touch are stained, discoloured glazing silicone and failed sealant around rooflight glass.
Outdoor sealant needs a dry surface, so window work around Baltasound is planned around the weather, and longer journeys are planned in advance. Let us know about access to every frame, including any upstairs.
Our work is backed for twelve months, in Baltasound and everywhere else we cover.

How we quote for glazing silicone
The price is agreed before any work begins. It takes into account:
- The old material and how stubborn it is
- Which sealant suits the joint
- The number and length of the joints
- Whether there’s mould to deal with
There are no prices on our website, because each job is priced on what it involves. For a quick quote, please email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk.
What to tell us for a quote

- The type of property
- The problem you’ve noticed
- Any access issues, like height or stairs
- How many joints, rooms or windows are involved

How the visit works
At the end, we look at the finished work together and tell you how long to leave it. The work normally takes a few hours, depending on how many joints need doing, depending on the size of the job. Outside jobs in Baltasound need a dry day, because sealant will not bond to a wet joint, so external jobs may need to move if the day turns wet. Work indoors is not affected.
- First, we trace the leak and check it’s coming through a sealant joint.
- We cut out the failed silicone, taking care of the glass and frame.
- The glass and frame are cleaned and degreased.
- We apply a neutral-cure glazing silicone and tool it smooth.
- We look over every joint and, where we can, test it with water.
How to prepare
- On commercial sites, let us know about site rules
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive

Related advice
DIY versus a professional finish
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and doesn’t move well, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that’s fine. We cut it out and start again, so tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
Common problems we fix in Baltasound
Sunlight breaks sealant down and roof joints get the most sun. Old silicone hardens, cracks and loses its grip on the glass.
Any of these means the joints need attention:
- Black or yellowed silicone on glass joints
- New silicone smeared over old sealant
- Water escaping where a screen meets the wall
- Split or lifting silicone on glass
Schools such as Baltasound Junior High School are buildings too, and its window and door frames need their mastic kept sound, just like a home’s.

Frames and glazing around Baltasound
Baltasound is close to the coast, where wind-driven rain is a fact of life and, nearer the shore, so is salt air. That is hard on glazing joints and frame seals, especially on the side facing the sea. Work on the islands has to be planned around ferry crossings and the weather, so give us as much notice as you can.
In the older streets around Kirkhoull, the joint between an old wall and a newer frame is usually the first place rain gets in.
Baltasound is in the Shetland Islands. Our applicators cover glazing silicone for homes and businesses in Baltasound and nearby, as part of our work across the Shetland Islands. Our the Shetland Islands coverage runs to 63 places, Baltasound among them.

Common questions in Baltasound
Will you come out to Baltasound?
Yes. Baltasound is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. We work across all of Scotland, including the islands, where work is planned around ferry crossings. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Does the coastal weather in Baltasound affect outside sealant?
Near the coast, wind-driven rain and, nearer the shore, salt air make outside sealant work harder. The right product, a clean joint and the right depth all help it cope.
How much does glazing silicone cost in Baltasound?
We don’t publish prices, because the cost depends on the job: its size, the old material, access and the product needed. We agree the price before any work begins.
Do you replace glass?
That is not something we do. A misted unit has failed inside and needs replacing by a glazier.
Is it messy?
No. We work neatly, protect the area around the joints and tidy up afterwards.
Can you reseal a frameless shower screen?
Yes, we do these often. The screen is resealed with anti-fungal silicone suited to bathrooms.
Do you hold any approvals?
Yes. We’re approved under the ARBOMaster scheme, the approved applicator scheme for Arbo sealants.
Do you remove the old sealant?
Yes. Sealing over old sealant is the main reason resealing fails early, so we never do it.

When something else is needed
Sealant isn’t the answer to every problem, and we’d rather say so up front. Sealant won’t put right:
- Misting between the panes of a double-glazed unit (a failed unit for a glazier)
- Failed flashing around a conservatory
- Structural problems with a conservatory roof
If you are not sure, just send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk and we will give you a straight answer.
