Portpatrick: your questions answered
Is glazing silicone in a coastal place like Portpatrick any different?
Near the sea, outside joints face more wind, rain and salt than they would inland, so preparation and the right sealant matter all the more. It’s worth checking the walls that face the sea first.
Is Portpatrick within the area you cover?
Yes, we do. We work across all of Scotland, and smaller places are part of that. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
Can you do several jobs on one visit?
Yes. Tell us about everything you’d like done and you’ll get one quote.
Can you replace a misted double-glazed unit?
No. A misted unit has failed inside and needs replacing by a glazier.
Can I do it myself?
You can, for simple jobs. The key is preparation: remove all the old material and work on a clean, dry joint. If it does not work out, we can redo it.
Where is Mr Mastic based?
Mr Mastic is based in Crawley. Our applicators cover Portpatrick.
Do you work for letting agents?
Yes, regularly. We can quote for several properties at once, and between tenancies is a good time for the work.
Are you an approved applicator?
Yes. ARBOMaster is the approved applicator scheme for Arbo sealants, and we are part of it.
Glazing silicone in Portpatrick, done properly
Across Portpatrick, we reseal glazing joints in homes, offices and hotels. Conservatories, rooflights, glass panels and shower screens are all part of the job. We work on conservatory frames, glass balustrade bases and glass-to-frame joints, and people most often call us about stained, discoloured glazing silicone and leaks from the base of a shower screen.
Mastic can only go onto a dry joint, so outside work in Portpatrick depends on the weather, and longer journeys are planned in advance. Let us know about access to every frame, including any upstairs.
Your job is guaranteed for a year, as with all our work.

What happens on the day
There’s no need to move everything out before we come, only the area right around the joints. Everything nearby is protected, and the job takes a few hours for most jobs in most cases. Outside jobs in Portpatrick need a dry day, because sealant will not bond to a wet joint, so an outdoor job can move if the forecast changes. Indoor work goes ahead whatever the weather.
- We look at the glazing and agree which joints need resealing.
- Old sealant is removed from the glass and frame.
- We clean and prepare the joint.
- New glazing silicone goes in and is finished neatly.
- We inspect the work and test it where we can.
Preparing for the visit
- Clear items away from the joints we are working on
- Let us know if you’ve seen damp or leaks
- Mention any sign-in or site rules at work premises

Advice
Windows and doors in Portpatrick
Portpatrick is close to the coast, where wind-driven rain is a fact of life and, nearer the shore, so is salt air. Both are hard on glazing joints and frame seals, which can dry out and crack sooner where a building faces the weather. Many older homes in Scotland have sash and case windows, often pointed into the wall with traditional sand mastic.
For jobs in and around Portpatrick, choosing the right material for each joint is as important as a tidy finish. Around Portpatrick, as everywhere, glazing silicone is only as good as the preparation behind it.

When it is not the sealant
A few problems are outside what sealant work can do:
- Frames that have decayed or split
- A roof that has moved or dropped
- A broken pane or roof panel

Surfaces we seal
- Glass-to-glass joints
- Glass-to-frame joints
- Shower screens
- Conservatory frames
- Rooflights
- Glass balustrade bases
Surface by surface
Glass balustrade bases
Outdoor balustrade joints face the weather. A sound sealant joint keeps them tidy and dry.
Glass-to-glass joints
Glass-to-glass joints depend entirely on the sealant. It must be clean, neat and well bonded.
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 matched to the joint and its conditions, then guaranteed for a year.
If you’re 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 fails, we can still redo it.
Why it’s worth doing now in Portpatrick
Replacing a conservatory roof is major work. If the leak is a failed sealant joint, resealing is far simpler. If the roof is the problem, we will say so. Around Portpatrick, water from a failed joint in an older stone home can soak into timber and plaster, which is a far bigger job than the sealant.
The cost reflects the work involved, not guesswork. That’s why we ask about the job first and give you a clear quote before work begins.

Looking after it afterwards
So the new joints stay in good condition:
- Wipe the screen down after showering
- Avoid strong solvents on or near the sealant
- Check the silicone on glass every year or so
- Keep scrapers and blades away from the silicone
Squeegee a shower screen after each shower and keep the room ventilated. It helps stop mould getting into the silicone.
If silicone on glass has cracked, water is already getting in. Resealing now is a small job compared with fixing water damage later.
