Etteridge Glazing Silicone
Problem with your glazing joints in Etteridge? We cut out the old, prepare the joints and apply the right sealant, and the work is guaranteed for a year.
- Stained, discoloured glazing silicone
- Drips on the inside of a conservatory window
- Split or lifting silicone on glass
How to look after the new joints
No joint lasts for ever, but care makes a real difference. A few tips:
- Keep conservatory gutters clear of leaves
- Run a squeegee over the glass when you are done
- Keep harsh solvents off the silicone
- Use a gentle glass cleaner and a soft cloth
Clear the conservatory gutters regularly so water does not back up against the seals. Blocked gutters can push water where it shouldn’t go.
Conservatory leaks rarely stay small. Water runs along frames and down walls so it’s best dealt with right away.
Glazing silicone for homes and businesses in Etteridge
Sealant on glazing doesn’t last for ever. Weather and movement take their toll and cracked joints let water in. Renewing it keeps glazing joints doing their job. We work on shower screens, glass balustrade bases and glass-to-glass joints, and the jobs we see most are cracked silicone between glass panels 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 our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Highland.

Etteridge questions
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Newtonmore station?
Yes, we work for letting agents and landlords. Just send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk and tell us about the property, and we will send you a clear quote.
Can you do glazing silicone in Etteridge?
Yes. We work across all of Scotland, and Etteridge is part of that. Just email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk with a few details of the job, and we’ll give you a clear price.
Are you ARBOMaster approved?
Yes. ARBOMaster is the approved applicator scheme for Arbo sealants, and we’re part of it.
Is it enough to run a bead over the old sealant?
Silicone does not stick to silicone, so a top-up soon lets water through. We cut out the old sealant first.
Do you reseal glass shower screens?
Yes, it’s a common job. The screen is resealed with anti-fungal silicone suited to bathrooms.
How long does glazing silicone take?
As a guide, most jobs take anything from an hour or two to most of a day, depending on the size of the job. Larger jobs naturally take longer, and we will tell you how long to expect.
What sealant do you use on glazing?
We use a neutral-cure glazing silicone suited to glass and the frame. In bathrooms, we use anti-fungal silicone.
How much does glazing silicone cost in Etteridge?
There’s no set price, as it depends on the job: how much there is, what’s there now, how we reach it and what it needs. You will get a clear quote before any work starts.
DIY versus a professional finish
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.
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and does not move well, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.

Signs you need glazing silicone in Etteridge
Sunlight breaks sealant down and roof joints get the most sun. Old silicone hardens, cracks and loses its grip on the glass.
Common reasons people contact us are:
- Shower screens leaking along the wall or tray
- Water tracking down the inner face of the glass
- Mouldy sealant around glass panels
- A quick top-up bead that didn’t last
Around Etteridge, as everywhere, glazing silicone is only as good as the preparation behind it.
What to look for in a quote
- Is the old sealant removed completely?
- How the surfaces are prepared before sealing
- What the cure time is
- What happens if the job turns out different

What happens if it’s left?
Topping up old silicone can look like a fix, but silicone does not stick to silicone and water soon finds its way back. A proper reseal is the lasting answer. Around Etteridge, water from a failed joint in an older stone home can soak into timber and plaster, which is a far bigger job than the sealant.
The cost depends on the amount of work, how much old material has to come out and access to the work. We give a clear quote before any work starts, so you know where you stand.

Glazing silicone in Etteridge: local notes

Different surfaces, different methods
Glass-to-frame joints
Where glass sits in a frame, silicone keeps water out. When it splits, water can get into the frame.
Shower screens
A screen’s wall joint and tray joint are where leaks start. Both are resealed with anti-fungal silicone.
