The process
On the day, there’s very little for you to do. Point us to the joints and we will get on with it. The job generally takes anything from an hour or two to most of a day, depending on the size of the job from start to finish. Somewhere like Wigtown 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.
- First, we check where the water gets in.
- 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.
- We check the finished joints and test with water where it’s safe.
Getting ready for the visit
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Mention any sign-in or site rules at work premises
- Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed

Related advice
Glazing silicone for homes and businesses in Wigtown
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 work on rooflights, glass balustrade bases and glass-to-frame joints, and common reasons people get in touch are shower screens leaking along the wall or tray and glazing silicone that has cracked or come away.
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.
Big or small, it’s backed by our 12-month guarantee.

DIY versus a professional finish
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and doesn’t move well, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. Silicone does not stick to old silicone, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. All the old material has to come out first.
Questions from Wigtown
Can you do glazing silicone in Wigtown?
Yes. We work across all of Scotland, and Wigtown is part of that. Just drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk with a few details of the job.
Will you come out to Wigtown?
Yes. Wigtown is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. We work across all of Scotland. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
How do I get a quote for glazing silicone in Wigtown?
It depends on the job, so we quote each one individually. To get one, email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk and let us know what needs doing and where.
Is a special sealant needed for glass?
We use a neutral-cure glazing silicone that suits the glass and frame. Shower screens get anti-fungal silicone.
How long should I leave it?
Cure times vary by product and the conditions. Before we leave, we’ll tell you the cure time.
Do you do commercial work?
Yes. We work in offices, washrooms, hotels and other commercial premises. Working times can be discussed when we quote.
Do you fit new glass or sealed units?
No, our work is the silicone. Glass and sealed units need a glazier.
How long will you be here?
That depends on how much there is to do, but as a guide it takes a few hours, depending on how many joints need doing. We will give you a better idea when we quote.

What we cannot put right
Sealant isn’t the answer to every problem, and we will tell you before any work starts. Sealant will not put right:

- Misting between the panes of a double-glazed unit (a failed unit for a glazier)

Frames and glazing around Wigtown
Wigtown 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. Private landlords in Scotland must meet the Repairing Standard, which includes keeping a home wind and watertight, and failed outside joints work against that.
If you live in an older home near Sacred Heart Church, the joint between an old wall and a newer frame is usually the first place rain gets in. In and around Wigtown, as anywhere, good glazing silicone starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint.

What the job involves on each surface
Shower screens
Black or peeling silicone on a screen lets water out. A full reseal sorts it.
Glass balustrade bases
The base joint is cut out and resealed. Glass fitting is a separate trade.
Keeping the joints in good condition
Once the sealant has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Keep air moving in the conservatory
- Squeegee the shower screen after each use
- Keep harsh solvents off the silicone
- Act on drips or damp patches early
Avoid scraping near the new silicone when you clean. Stick to a soft cloth.
A leaking shower screen may not show at first. It can damage the floor or the ceiling below before you spot it.
