- New silicone smeared over old sealant
DIY versus a professional finish
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions.
How we handle glazing silicone in Tarbert
Sealant on glazing does not last for ever. Weather and movement take their toll, and once it cracks, water follows. Renewing it keeps glazing joints doing their job. If you are dealing with water running down inside the glass and a quick top-up bead that didn’t last, we can put it right, on rooflights, shower screens and glass-to-glass joints alike.
In and around a place like Tarbert, homes range from older stone-built cottages to newer houses. Wind-driven rain finds any gap around a frame or sill, so the mastic there works hard.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

Questions from Tarbert
Can you do glazing silicone in Tarbert?
Yes. Our work covers the whole of Scotland, and Tarbert is part of that. You can drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk and tell us what needs doing, and we’ll give you a clear quote.
Do you cover smaller places like Tarbert?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. We work across all of Scotland, including the islands, where work is planned around ferry crossings. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Can you quote for more than one area?
Yes, and it often makes sense. Combining jobs makes good use of the visit.
Do you reseal glass shower screens?
Yes, we do these often. The screen is resealed with anti-fungal silicone made for wet areas.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just make sure your landlord agrees.
Should I try DIY first?
You can, for simple jobs. Preparation is everything: all the old sealant out, and a clean, dry joint. We can always put it right if it fails.
Do the sealants smell?
That depends on the sealant. Some smell for a while, some hardly at all, and any smell fades as they cure.
Will resealing stop my conservatory leaking?
It depends on the cause. Sealant joints we can renew but roof and panel problems need another trade.
What happens on the day
You don’t need to clear the whole room or building before we come, just the space around the work. We protect the rest, and the job takes anything from an hour or two to most of a day, depending on the size of the job in most cases. Outside jobs in Tarbert need a dry day, because sealant won’t bond to a wet joint, so external jobs may need to move if the day turns wet. Work indoors isn’t affected.
- We look at the glazing and agree which joints need resealing.
- We cut away the failed silicone.
- We clean and prepare the joint.
- New glazing silicone goes in and is finished neatly.
- The joints are checked before we leave.
Before we arrive
- Tell us about any water getting in
- For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can
- Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work
How to get a quote
A good description makes for an accurate quote. Tell us where the job is, what’s wrong and how much there is.

Windows and doors in Tarbert
Tarbert 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.
In and around Tarbert, as anywhere, good glazing silicone starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint.

Rooflights
Water around a rooflight is not always the sealant. We find the cause first.
Shower screens
Silicone holds the water in on frameless screens. We reseal without scratching the glass.
Work for landlords, hotels and businesses
Water getting past a failed joint can damage the building, which matters even more when someone else lives there. Resealing at the right time is simple maintenance that we can handle for you.
We also work for property managers and facilities teams in Tarbert and across Na h-Eileanan Siar. We can quote a run of properties together, and we’re fully insured.
Why it’s worth doing now in Tarbert
Glazing joints need a sealant made for the job. General-purpose sealant from a DIY shop may not suit glass or the frame, so we use neutral-cure glazing silicone. Around Tarbert, water from a failed joint in an older stone home can soak into timber and plaster.
What you pay reflects the work, not guesswork. That’s why we ask about the job first and give you a clear price before any work starts.
What you get with us
- ARBOMaster approved applicator
- A sealant colour to suit the surroundings
- Domestic, commercial and hotel work
- Old sealant always removed completely
When to call us in Tarbert
Using a sealant not made for glass causes many failures. Not every silicone sticks properly to glass and vinegar-smelling acetoxy silicone can attack some metals.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- Leaks from the base of a shower screen
- Mouldy sealant around glass panels
- Glazing silicone that has cracked or come away
- Leaking glazing joints on a rooflight
Whether the job is in Tarbert itself or nearby, the right material for each joint matters as much as a neat finish.
