How we handle glazing silicone in Bantaskin
A frameless shower screen depends on its silicone. The joint down the wall and the one along the tray are common leak points and both get fresh anti-fungal silicone. We work on glass-to-frame joints, shower screens and rooflights, and people most often call us about new silicone smeared over old sealant and rooflight joints letting water in.
Outdoor sealant needs a dry surface, so window work around Bantaskin is planned around the weather, and longer journeys are planned in advance. Let us know about access to every frame, including any upstairs.
There’s a 12-month guarantee on every job, large or small.

Bantaskin homes and the weather
Sash and case windows are common in older Scottish homes, often pointed into the wall with traditional sand mastic. Under the Repairing Standard, private landlords in Scotland have to keep homes wind and watertight, and failed outside joints work against that.
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Falkirk High School, larger buildings have plenty of frames, and the mastic around each one ages. In the older streets around Falkirk, frames set in older brick or stone need a sealant that suits the wall as well as the frame.

Looking after it afterwards
How long the joints last depends on use and care. We suggest:
- Stick to mild cleaners on glass
- Check the gutters above the glazing for debris
- Keep air moving in the conservatory
- Inspect the sealant on glazing annually
Keep the new joints dry for as long as we advise. After that, clean glass with a mild cleaner.
A leaking shower screen may not show at first. Water can soak into the floor or reach the room below before you spot it.
What we can’t put right
New sealant can’t fix everything, and we’d rather say so up front. Sealant will not put right:
- Rotten or badly damaged frames
- Cracked or broken glass
- A sagging or failing conservatory roof
If you’re not sure, just send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk and we’ll give you a straight answer.
Surfaces we seal
- Glass balustrade bases
- Glass-to-frame joints
- Rooflights
- Glass-to-glass joints
- Conservatory frames
- Shower screens
DIY sealant or a professional job?
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. New silicone won’t bond to old, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. All the old material has to come out first.
Not every job suits DIY: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs call for the right materials, safe access and experience.

What happens if it’s left?
Fixing a leaking screen early protects what’s underneath. A small leak can reach the floor below before it shows. In an older home around Bantaskin, damp from a failed joint can get into timber and plaster.
Doing several joints on one visit generally makes better use of the time than several visits. You will get one clear quote for the whole job.
