- Split or lifting silicone on glass
What we do, step by step
We bring everything the job needs with us, so you don’t need to buy or prepare anything. Once we’ve agreed what’s being done, the area is protected and the work begins. Most jobs take a few hours for most jobs. In a Scottish city, a lot of jobs are in tenement flats, up a common stair from a shared close. For a job in Govan, tell us the floor, how the door entry system works and where we can park nearby.
- We find where water is getting in and check whether it’s a sealant joint.
- The old sealant is removed from the glass and frame without scratching them.
- The glass and frame are cleaned and degreased.
- Glazing silicone suited to the joint is applied and tooled.
- We look over every joint and, where we can, test it with water.
How to prepare
- Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work
- Tell us about any water getting in
- Move anything stored near the joints
How to get a quote

Glazing silicone in Govan, done properly
Cracked, stained or lifting silicone on glass spoils the look and lets water in. It comes off cleanly, without marking the glass before the new bead goes in. If you have water escaping where a screen meets the wall and new silicone smeared over old sealant, we can put it right, whatever the surface.
Tenement flats in Scotland’s cities often have windows high above the street, where failing mastic is easy to miss. For a flat in Govan, access is the first thing to plan.
Every job is covered by our one-year guarantee.

What affects the quote in Govan
For a quick quote, just ask. The main things that affect it are:
- Whether there’s mould to deal with
- How much there is to do
- Working hours on commercial sites
- How many rooms, windows or areas are involved
Rather than a set price list, we price the job in front of us: the amount of work, the old material and the access. The price is agreed before we begin.
Asking for a quote
A few details help us give you an accurate quote. When you ask for a quote, tell us:
- Any access issues, like height or stairs
- Roughly how big the job is
- Where the job is, and your postcode
- If someone has resealed it before
It all starts with a short chat. Describe the problem, the location and the size of the job, and we’ll explain how we’d tackle it. When it suits you, send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk.
What the job involves on each surface
Shower screens
Silicone holds the water in on frameless screens. We renew it without marking the glass.
Rooflights
Rooflight leaks can come from the sealant or the roof. We find the cause first.
Looking after it afterwards
So the new joints stay in good condition:
- Act on drips or damp patches early
- Clear the conservatory gutters regularly
- Keep air moving in the conservatory
- Wipe the screen down after showering
Look over the glazing joints every year or so. Catching a split early keeps the repair small.
Damp patches, drips and condensation along a joint are worth checking. It may be sealant, or something else, and we will tell you which.
Govan homes and the weather
Glasgow’s tenements are largely red and blond sandstone, and porous sandstone needs a sealant that will not mark it. The Tenements (Scotland) Act 2004 sets out how owners share the upkeep of common parts like the roof and outside walls, often through a property factor. Windows normally belong to the flat, but the title deeds have the final say.
In the older streets around St Mary's Church, replacement windows fitted into old openings often leave uneven gaps that need backing and a flexible joint. Rented homes near Partick station change hands often, and a shower screen or conservatory joint that leaks is easier to reseal while the property is empty.

When it is not the sealant
To be straight with you, some problems need a different trade:
- Failed flashing around a conservatory
- A roof that has moved or dropped
- Frames that have decayed or split
If in doubt, send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk and we’ll say what we think.
Joints and surfaces we work on
- Rooflights
- Shower screens
- Glass-to-frame joints
- Conservatory frames
- Glass-to-glass joints
- Glass balustrade bases
What happens if it’s left?
A leaking joint won’t fix itself. Left, water can mark floors, damage plaster and rot timber so early action saves a bigger repair. Scottish rain finds any gap around a frame or wall joint, and in a tall building in Govan, damp can travel a long way before it shows.
No two jobs are quite the same, so we quote each one individually. Size, access and the product the joint needs all play a part, and we’ll explain the quote if you ask.
Why book with us
- Homes, businesses and hotels
- ARBOMaster approved applicator
- Anti-fungal silicone where joints get wet
- Sealant colour chosen to suit

Govan: your questions answered
I let a flat near Partick station. Can you help?
Yes, we work for letting agents and landlords. You can email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk with the address and a few details, and we will give you a fixed price before any work starts.
Is Govan in your area for glazing silicone?
Yes. We work across all of Scotland, and Govan is part of that. You can send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk and let us know what needs doing, and we’ll send you a clear quote.
Can you replace a misted double-glazed unit?
Glass replacement isn’t our trade. We look after the sealant joints, and we will tell you if a unit looks like it has failed.
What does glazing silicone cost?
It depends on the job, so we quote each one individually. To get one, drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk with a short description of the job.
What guarantee do I get?
You get our one-year guarantee on all our work.
How long does the job take?
That depends on the amount of work, but most jobs take a few hours, depending on how many joints need doing. We’ll tell you when we quote.
Is it messy?
We keep the work tidy. Nearby surfaces are protected, and we clear up when we are done.
Can I do it myself?
It depends on the job. Work at height, movement joints, fire-rated gaps and large areas are best left to a professional.
DIY versus a professional finish
A DIY attempt does not rule out a professional job. We cut it out and start again.
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 doesn’t work out, we can still put it right.
