Surface by surface
Shower screens
Frameless screens rely on silicone at the base and wall. We renew it without marking the glass.
Glass balustrade bases
Glass balustrades sit in a channel that’s often finished with sealant. Failed sealant there lets water collect.
Glazing silicone in Oban, done properly
Glazing silicone is a maintenance item. Weather and movement take their toll, and once it cracks, water follows. Renewing it keeps glazing joints doing their job. If you’re dealing with cracked silicone between glass panels and silicone pulling away from the glass, we can help.
Outdoor sealant needs a dry surface, so window work around Oban is planned around the weather, and longer journeys are planned in advance. Let us know about access to every frame, including any upstairs.
All of our work is guaranteed for twelve months.

Oban: your questions answered
Is Oban within the area you cover?
Yes, Oban is covered. We work across all of Scotland, and smaller places are part of that. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
Do you work for landlords with property near Oban station?
Yes. We work for landlords and agents as well as householders. Just send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk with the address and what needs doing, and we will send you a clear quote.
Will you leave a mess?
We keep the work tidy. Nearby surfaces are protected, and we clear up when we’re done.
Where are you based?
We work from Crawley. Our applicators cover Oban, along with the rest of our area.
Is the work guaranteed?
Our 12-month guarantee applies on all our work.
What sealant do you use?
We choose the sealant for the joint, not the other way round. Movement, water and weather all affect the choice, and we’ll explain our choice.
Can a conservatory leak be sealed?
Often, if the leak is at a sealant joint. We find where the water gets in first, so you know what you are paying for.
Is it worth trying it myself?
That depends on the joint. High-level, external movement and fire-rated joints are professional jobs.
The process
On the day, we look over the joints with you first. Surfaces next to the work are protected before work begins. The work normally takes a few hours, depending on how many joints need doing. For a place like Oban, longer drives are planned in advance. Mention tracks, gates, ferries or anything else about the route.
- First, we trace the leak and check it’s coming through a sealant joint.
- The old sealant is removed from the glass and frame without scratching them.
- We clean the joint with a solvent that suits the glass and frame.
- New glazing silicone goes in and is tooled to a neat finish.
- We look over every joint and, where we can, test it with water.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us if parking is tricky
- Let us know if you’ve seen damp or leaks
- Clear items away from the joints we are working on

What glazing silicone looks like in Oban
Oban is close to the coast, where wind-driven rain is a fact of life and, nearer the shore, so is salt air. That’s hard on glazing joints and frame seals, especially on the side facing the sea. Many older homes in Scotland have sash and case windows, and the joint between the box frame and the stone or render is traditionally pointed with sand mastic.
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Oban High School, the mastic around its windows and doors needs looking after like any other building’s. In the older streets around Old Parish Church, the windows may be timber, sash or later replacements, and each needs the right sealant against the wall. Letting a property close to Oban station? Then a shower screen or conservatory joint that leaks is easier to reseal while the property is empty.

Looking after it afterwards
Simple care keeps the joints in good condition. We recommend:
- Keep scrapers and blades away from the silicone
- Use a gentle glass cleaner and a soft cloth
- Wipe the screen down after showering
- Get a new leak looked at quickly
Use mild cleaners on and around the silicone. Harsh solvents may damage the bead.
Conservatory leaks rarely stay small. Water runs along frames and down walls, so get it looked at when you first see it.
Quotes for glazing silicone in Oban
We quote each job individually. These are the things that affect it:
- How many rooms, windows or areas are involved
- The old material and how stubborn it is
- Which sealant suits the joint
- When we can work, for business premises
No two jobs are quite the same, so each one gets its own quote. Size, access and the product the joint needs all make a difference.
What to tell us for a quote
Photos help, but a description is a good start. Please mention:
- A few pictures by email, if you can
- Any previous sealing or DIY work
- How many joints, rooms or windows are involved
- Access, such as stairs, a lift or height
For a quick quote, get us on the phone, or send an email if you’d rather. Describe what needs sealing and we’ll talk you through the work.
Should I try it myself first?
A DIY attempt does not rule out a professional job. We remove it and do the joint properly, so tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, such as a straightforward joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Oban
Failed sealant is one of the commonest items on a check-out report. We can quote for more than one property at once.
We also work for businesses, from offices to washrooms and kitchens. For commercial premises, we can talk through working times when we quote.
What we cannot put right
We’d rather tell you now than do work that won’t last, so here’s what sealant cannot put right:
- A sealed unit that has misted inside
- Water coming through the roof rather than a sealant joint
- A frame that needs repairing or replacing
Not sure which it is? You can email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk and we will tell you honestly before booking.
