Surface by surface
Glass-to-frame joints
Glass-to-frame joints need a sealant that bonds to both. We use a glazing silicone suited to each.
Shower screens
Frameless screens rely on silicone at the base and wall. We reseal without scratching the glass.
How we handle glazing silicone in Blackhills
We work across Blackhills on glazing joints for homes and businesses. From conservatories to shower screens, it’s the same careful method. If you’re dealing with stained, discoloured glazing silicone and sealant that was laid over old silicone and failed, we can put it right.
In and around a place like Blackhills, homes range from older stone-built cottages to newer houses. Exposed frames and sills take the full force of wind-driven rain, so the mastic there works hard.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something is not right with it in that time, tell us and we’ll put it right.

Related advice
Can I do it myself?
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that is fine. We cut it out and start again.
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, such as a straightforward joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
Windows and doors in Blackhills
Sash and case windows are common in older Scottish homes, and the joint between the box frame and the stone or render is traditionally pointed with sand mastic. Under the Repairing Standard, private landlords in Scotland have to keep homes wind and watertight, and sound outside sealant is part of that.
For landlords with property near Elgin station, leaking glazing joints, shower screens or conservatory seals are worth sorting between tenancies.

How we quote for glazing silicone
There’s no set price list, because no two jobs are the same. What we look at:
- Whether old sealant or filler has to be cut out
- Whether the work is at height
- The amount of work
- Any working-time requirements on site
A failed joint rarely gets cheaper to fix by waiting, as water and mould keep getting in. If you are not sure whether it needs doing, email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk and we will give you an honest view and a quote.
Asking for a quote
Photos by email are helpful but not essential. Please mention:
- What the problem is, such as mould, gaps, leaks or cracking
- Pictures of the joints, sent by email
- Any previous sealing or DIY work
- Access, such as stairs, a lift or height
The more we know about the job, the more useful the quote. Tell us where the job is, what’s wrong and how much there is.
What we are called out for in Blackhills

Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Glazing silicone that has cracked or come away
- Water running down inside the glass
- Stained, discoloured glazing silicone
- Glass-to-glass joints that have split
In and around Blackhills, as anywhere, good glazing silicone starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint.

Why it’s worth doing now in Blackhills
Leaks get worse, not better. Left, water can mark floors, damage plaster and rot timber, so it pays to deal with it early. When the nearest tradesperson is a drive away, it’s tempting to leave a small leak, but water through a failed joint keeps working away until it’s fixed.
Instead of a standard rate, we price the job in front of us: how many joints, what’s in them now and how we reach them. You will know the price before we begin.
Why book with us
- Old sealant always removed completely
- 180+ five-star Google reviews
- We are fully insured
- Anti-fungal silicone where joints get wet
Looking after it afterwards
So the new joints stay in good condition:
- Wipe the screen down after showering
- Clean glass with a mild cleaner and a soft cloth
- Avoid scraping close to the bead
- Get a new leak looked at quickly
Follow the cure time we give you before the joints get wet. 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 will find out which.
