Aftercare tips
Good habits help new joints last longer. A few tips:
- Get a new leak looked at quickly
- Keep air moving in the conservatory
- Wipe the screen down after showering
- Check the silicone on glass every year or so
Use mild cleaners on and around the silicone. Strong solvents can soften or mark it.
A leaking shower screen may not show at first. It can damage the floor or the ceiling below long before you see it.
Glazing silicone for homes and businesses in High Blantyre
Glazing joints need a sealant made for glass. Our applicators use neutral-cure glazing silicone, which suits glass and most frame materials, finished with a neat, even bead. We work on rooflights, shower screens and glass balustrade bases, and common reasons people get in touch are silicone pulling away from the glass and black or yellowed silicone on glass joints.
Outdoor sealant needs a dry surface, so window work around High Blantyre is planned around the weather. Tell us about access to all the windows and doors, upstairs included.

How we quote for glazing silicone
There’s no set price list. The quote depends on:
- The number and length of the joints
- Which sealant suits the joint
- Whether old sealant or filler has to be cut out
- Whether there’s mould to deal with
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
Photos by email are helpful but not essential. Please mention:
- If it’s domestic, commercial or a hotel
- What the problem is, such as mould, gaps, leaks or cracking
- Whether it has been sealed before
- Photos by email, if that’s easy
There’s no standard price list. Instead, we send you a clear quote for your job. To get started, drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk.
Different surfaces, different methods

Common problems we fix in High Blantyre
UV light ages silicone and roof joints get the most sun. It goes brittle, cracks and stops sticking to the glass and frame.
These are the problems we are asked about most:
- Drips on the inside of a conservatory window
- Leaks where conservatory glass meets the frame
- New silicone smeared over old sealant
- Failed sealant around rooflight glass
For an older house near a landmark such as Blantyre Old Parish Church, frames set in older brick or stone need a sealant that suits the wall as well as the frame.

Do you reseal glass shower screens?
Yes, we do these often. The screen is resealed with anti-fungal silicone suited to bathrooms.
Can I do it myself?
You can, for simple jobs. Preparation is everything: all the old sealant out, and a clean, dry joint. We can always put it right if it fails.
Will resealing stop my conservatory leaking?
That depends where the water is getting in. Failed glazing and frame joints can be resealed but roof and panel problems need another trade.
What do you put in the joint?
Products from Arbo and Everbuild, among others, chosen to suit the joint. We explain the product when we quote.
Is there any odour?
There can be a smell while the sealant cures, which fades as it sets. Opening a window helps.
Can you match the sealant colour?
In most cases you can choose. We’ll tell you which colours the right product comes in.

DIY sealant or a professional job?
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. New silicone won’t bond to old, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. All the old material has to come out first.
Some jobs are best left to a professional: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs need the right product, the right access and the right method.
