About our glazing silicone in Pitscottie
We renew glazing silicone on conservatories, rooflights and glass panels plus shower screens and the bases of glass balustrades. The old sealant comes out, the joint is cleaned and new silicone goes in. We work on glass-to-glass joints, glass balustrade bases and glass-to-frame joints, and common reasons people get in touch are water tracking down the inner face of the glass and water escaping where a screen meets the wall.
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, so the mastic there works hard.
All our work comes with our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Fife.

Why deal with it now?
Dealing with a leaking shower screen early protects the floor and ceiling. A small leak can reach the floor below before you notice. In an older home around Pitscottie, damp from a failed joint can get into timber and plaster, which is a far bigger job than the sealant.
Leaving a failed joint usually makes the job bigger, not smaller, because water and mould keep working on it. If you are not sure whether it needs doing, drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk and we will give you an honest view and a quote.

What affects the cost of glazing silicone
We quote each job individually. These are the things that affect it:
- Mould in or behind the old joints
- How easy the joints are to reach
- Which sealant suits the joint
- How many rooms, windows or areas are involved
There are no prices on our website, because each job is priced on what it involves. For a quick quote, please email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk.
Asking for a quote
You do not need to know the technical terms. It helps if you can tell us:
- Any access issues, like height or stairs
- Where the property is
- Whether it has been sealed before
- Photos by email, if that’s easy
Call for a quick quote, or email us if that is easier. Describe what needs sealing and we’ll explain what’s involved.
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:
- Leaks from the roof covering or flashing (a roofer’s job)
- Cracked or broken glass
- A frame that needs repairing or replacing
If you’re not sure, just email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk and we will give you a straight answer before booking.

What happens on the day
Every visit runs the same way: we look at the joints together, mask and protect the surrounding surfaces, carry out the job and tidy away. It generally takes a few hours for most jobs. Somewhere like Pitscottie may be a longer drive, and the journey is planned ahead. Tell us about tracks, gates, a ferry crossing or anything unusual about getting there.
- We trace the leak and confirm it’s a sealant joint.
- The failed silicone is cut out without marking the glass or frame.
- We clean the glass and frame so the new silicone bonds.
- We lay the new bead and tool it smooth.
- Each joint is checked and, where possible, water-tested.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before
- Mention any parking rules near the property
- Mention any tricky access

Surface by surface
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.
What glazing silicone looks like in Pitscottie
With historic houses such as Hill of Tarvit (about 2.5 miles west) nearby, there’s older building stock in the area around Pitscottie as well as newer homes. In older buildings, older timber frames in brick or stone need a different approach from a modern uPVC window. Sash and case windows are common in older Scottish homes, and the joint between the box frame and the stone or render is traditionally pointed with sand mastic.
If you let a flat or house near Cupar station, glazing joints are worth checking at the end of a tenancy, before a small leak grows. Hill of Tarvit, about 2.5 miles west, is one of the historic houses in the wider area around Pitscottie.

Looking after it afterwards
Once the sealant has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Look over the glazing joints once a year
- Keep scrapers and blades away from the silicone
- Do not leave a drip for the next storm
- Clear the conservatory gutters regularly
Clear the conservatory gutters regularly, so water drains away from the joints. Overflowing gutters can cause leaks of their own.
A leaking shower screen may not show at first. It can damage the floor or the ceiling below before you spot it.
Can I do it myself?
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is.
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, such as a straightforward joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.
