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 it shows. Out of town in Scotland, exposed walls take a lot of weather, and damp in stone or harled walls takes a long time to dry once water gets behind a joint.
The cost reflects the work involved, not guesswork. That is why we ask a few questions first and agree the price before starting.

Glazing silicone in Saltburn
Frameless shower screens rely on sealant to keep water in. The joint down the wall and the one along the tray are common leak points and both get fresh anti-fungal silicone. We are often asked to deal with rooflight joints letting water in and drips on the inside of a conservatory window, across shower screens, conservatory frames and rooflights.
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.
We stand behind the work with a 12-month guarantee.

Common problems we fix in Saltburn
Heat and cold make glass and frames move, and they don’t move by the same amount. Over years, that movement tears the silicone.
The problems people normally mention when they call are:
- Leaks from the base of a shower screen
- Water tracking down the inner face of the glass
- A quick top-up bead that didn’t last
- Silicone pulling away from the glass
In and around Saltburn, as anywhere, good glazing silicone starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint.

What glazing silicone looks like in Saltburn
Saltburn 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. 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.
Rented homes near Invergordon station change hands often, and glazing joints are worth checking at the end of a tenancy, before a small leak grows.

What the job involves on each surface
Shower screens
A screen’s wall joint and tray joint are where leaks start. We reseal both with anti-fungal silicone.
Glass-to-glass joints
Where two panes meet, the silicone joint takes all the movement. The bead needs to be tidy and fully bonded.
How to look after the new joints
So the new joints stay in good condition:
- Clean glass with a mild cleaner and a soft cloth
- Keep scrapers and blades away from the silicone
- Get a new leak looked at quickly
- Use gentle products around the joints
Use mild cleaners on and around the silicone. Strong solvents can soften or mark it.
A leaking shower screen may not show at first. Water can soak into the floor or reach the room below before you spot it.
What affects the cost of glazing silicone
Every job gets its own quote. These are the things that affect it:
- How much old sealant there is and how hard it is to remove
- Whether the work is at height
- The number and length of the joints
- Mould in or behind the old joints
Combining jobs into one visit normally makes better use of the time than several visits, so it’s worth mentioning everything you’d like done. We’ll give you a clear price for the lot.
What we need to know
Photos help, but a description is a good start. Please mention:
- If someone has resealed it before
- Any access issues, like height or stairs
- Where the job is, and your postcode
- How many joints, rooms or windows are involved
A good description makes for an accurate quote. Tell us where the job is, what’s wrong and how much there is.

Common questions in Saltburn
Do you cover smaller places like Saltburn?
Yes, Saltburn is covered. Our work covers the whole of Scotland, from towns to the smallest places. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Invergordon station?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. Just drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk and tell us about the property, and we will send you a clear quote.
Is a special sealant needed for glass?
We use a neutral-cure glazing silicone suited to glass and the frame. In bathrooms, we use anti-fungal silicone.
Can a conservatory leak be sealed?
Yes, when the leak is a failed sealant joint. If the cause is the roof, a panel or a unit, we will say so.
Are you fully insured?
Yes, we are fully insured for domestic and commercial work.
Why not top up the existing silicone?
New silicone won’t bond to old silicone and water gets between the layers. We cut out the old sealant first.
Do you reseal glass shower screens?
We can. We remove the old silicone carefully, and the joints are cleaned and resealed.
How much does glazing silicone cost in Saltburn?
We don’t publish prices, because the cost depends on the job: its size, the old material, access and the product needed. We agree the price before any work begins.
