What do you need from me for a quote?
A short description and the location. We’ll ask anything else we need to know.
Do you reseal glass shower screens?
Yes. We remove the old sealant and reseal the wall and tray joints.
Is a special sealant needed for glass?
A neutral-cure glazing silicone that suits the glass and frame. Shower screens get anti-fungal silicone.
Where are you based?
We are based in Crawley, and we work across South East England, London and Scotland.
Can you match the sealant colour?

No. We protect the surfaces around the joints, and we clear up the old sealant and our materials before we leave.
How we handle glazing silicone in Downiehills
We work across Downiehills on glazing joints for homes and businesses. From conservatories to shower screens, it’s the same careful method, with a sealant chosen for the joint. We work on glass-to-frame joints, conservatory frames and rooflights, and people most often call us about glazing silicone that has cracked or come away and leaks from the base of a shower screen.
Across smaller places in Scotland, homes range from stone and harled cottages to newer houses, many standing in the open. Wind-driven rain finds any gap around a frame or sill.
All our work is covered by a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Aberdeenshire.

Whether it’s one flat or a portfolio, the work is the same standard: old sealant fully removed, joints prepared properly and a 12-month guarantee.
What happens on the day
We bring everything the job needs with us, so you do not need to buy or prepare anything. Once we’ve agreed what’s being done, we protect the area and start. Most jobs take a few hours, depending on how many joints need doing. Somewhere like Downiehills may be a longer drive, and the journey is planned ahead. Mention tracks, gates, ferries or anything else about the route.
- 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.
Preparing for the visit
- For business premises, tell us about site rules or sign-in
- Keep children and pets away from the work area
- Clear items away from the joints we are working on

We quote each job on its own, so start by telling us what you need. Simply email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk and describe the job and send pictures if you have them.
Related advice
Should I try it myself first?
If you are set on DIY, put the effort into preparation: remove every trace of old sealant, clean and dry the joint, and follow the product’s cure time. If it does not work out, we can still put it right.
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.
How the job changes by surface
Glass-to-glass joints
You see these joints clearly, so we take care to leave a neat bead.
Conservatory frames
Frame joints face sun and rain all year. A fresh bead seals them again.
When it is not the sealant
It helps to know what we cannot do too:
- Rotten or badly damaged frames
- Glass that needs replacing
- A roof that has moved or dropped
If you are not sure, just send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.
Joints and surfaces we work on
- Rooflights
- Glass-to-frame joints
- Conservatory frames
- Glass-to-glass joints
- Shower screens
- Glass balustrade bases
Looking after it afterwards
Joint life depends on how it’s used and looked after. We suggest:
- Keep scrapers and blades away from the silicone
- Clean glass with a mild cleaner and a soft cloth
- Check the silicone on glass every year or so
- Use gentle products around the joints
Follow the cure time we give you before the joints get wet so the silicone can set properly. After that, clean glass with a mild cleaner.
Cracked glazing silicone means the joint has failed. Resealing now is a small job compared with fixing water damage later.

Glazing silicone in Downiehills: local notes
Downiehills 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. 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.
Whether the job is in Downiehills itself or nearby, the right material for each joint matters as much as a neat finish. In and around Downiehills, as anywhere, good glazing silicone starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint.

What affects the quote in Downiehills
Some jobs are bigger than they look, and some smaller. The main factors:
- The number and length of the joints
- Mould in or behind the old joints
- When we can work, for business premises
- How much old sealant there is and how hard it is to remove
The cost depends on the amount of work, how hard the old material is to remove and access to the work. You will have a clear quote before any work starts.
Asking for a quote
You don’t need to know the technical terms. Just tell us:
- Roughly how big the job is
- The type of property
- Any access issues, like height or stairs
- If someone has resealed it before
Call for a quick quote, or send an email if you’d rather. Describe what needs sealing and we will explain what’s involved before giving you a price.
