Glazing silicone in Kirkconnel, done properly
Frameless shower screens rely on sealant to keep water in. Leaks usually come from the wall joint or the tray joint, and we reseal both. If you’re dealing with leaks where conservatory glass meets the frame and cracked silicone between glass panels, we can put it right.
Older stone-built homes in Scotland often have sash and case or timber windows set in stone. Those suit a traditional sand mastic or a neutral-cure sealant, not an acetoxy silicone that can attack some stone.
Each job carries a 12-month guarantee, large or small.

How to look after the new joints
No joint lasts for ever, but care makes a real difference. A few tips:
- Keep scrapers and blades away from the silicone
- Check the gutters above the glazing for debris
- Get a new leak looked at quickly
- Keep harsh solvents off the silicone
Use mild cleaners on and around the silicone. Harsh solvents may damage the bead.
Cracked glazing silicone means the joint has failed. Resealing now is a small job compared with fixing water damage later.

Common problems we fix in Kirkconnel
Not every leak is a sealant problem: broken panels, roof problems and blocked gutters can all let water in. We find the cause before we seal anything.
Look out for these signs:
- A quick top-up bead that didn’t last
- Water escaping where a screen meets the wall
- Black or yellowed silicone on glass joints
- Glazing silicone that has cracked or come away
If you let a flat or house near Kirkconnel station, glazing joints are worth checking at the end of a tenancy, before a small leak grows.

Is Kirkconnel within the area you cover?
Yes, we do. Our work covers the whole of Scotland, and smaller places are part of that. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
What sealant do you use on glazing?
A glazing silicone chosen for the joint. Neutral-cure products suit most glass and frames, as some acetoxy types can attack certain metals.
Are you insured?
Yes. We’re fully insured, and we can confirm the details when we quote.
Do you reseal glass shower screens?
Yes, we do these often. The screen is resealed with anti-fungal silicone suited to bathrooms.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are often happy for the work to be arranged.
Should I try DIY first?
Sometimes. The key is preparation: remove all the old material and work on a clean, dry joint. If it doesn’t work out, we can redo it.

Shower screens
Most shower screen leaks come from the wall or tray joint. We reseal both with anti-fungal silicone.
Glass balustrade bases
Outdoor balustrade joints face the weather. A sound sealant joint keeps them tidy and dry.
When something else is needed
We will not take on work that will not last, so these are the limits:
- Rotten or badly damaged frames
- Failed flashing around a conservatory
- Misting between the panes of a double-glazed unit (a failed unit for a glazier)
Not sure which it is? You can send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

DIY sealant or a professional job?
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.
If you do try it yourself, take your time over the 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.
Windows and doors in Kirkconnel
Many older homes in Scotland have sash and case windows, often pointed into the wall with traditional sand mastic. Under the Repairing Standard, private landlords in Scotland have to keep homes wind and watertight, and failed outside joints work against that.
