About our remedial sealant in Corkerhill
Getting old sealant out properly is slow, careful work. Every layer is cut out, the residue cleaned off and the joint degreased, without scratching tiles, trays or frames. New sealant only bonds to a clean, dry joint. We work on botched or over-sealed joints, leaking tray & enclosure joints and shrunken worktop sealant, and the jobs we see most are floor or wall movement joints that have failed and a shower that leaks however often it’s resealed.
Corkerhill is in one of Scotland’s four big cities, where many tenement bathrooms were fitted into rooms that weren’t built for them. Space is tight and ventilation can be poor, which is hard on sealant and grout.
Big or small, you get the same 12-month guarantee.

What affects the quote in Corkerhill
For a quick quote, just ask. What matters most is:
- How much old sealant there is and how hard it is to remove
- How many areas need sealing
- Whether there’s mould to deal with
- The number and length of the joints
No two jobs are quite the same, so each one gets its own quote. The number of joints, how easy they are to reach and the sealant needed all play a part, and we’ll explain the quote if you ask.
Asking for a quote
There’s no need for technical detail. Just tell us:
- The problem you’ve noticed
- The address or postcode of the job
- Whether it’s a home or a business
- How we’d reach the joints
A good description makes for an accurate quote. Tell us where the job is, what’s wrong and how much there is, and email photos if that is easy.
Why deal with it now?
A joint that has failed twice will fail again unless the cause is dealt with. Taking time to find the cause, whether it’s movement, a leak or the wrong product, is what stops it happening again. In a tenement flat in Corkerhill, a failed seal is rarely just your problem: water can reach the flat below, and gaps in shared walls or fire-stopping affect the whole stair.
Homes and businesses are quoted the same way: how much there is to do, how we reach it and what it needs, along with when we can work on site. Call for a quick quote and we will explain what it covers.

- White, clear, grey or coloured to suit, where the product allows

Aftercare tips
No joint lasts for ever, but care makes a real difference. A few tips:
- Never fill a movement joint with mortar or grout
- Ask why a joint failed before redoing it
- Use a soft cloth, not a scourer, on silicone
- Don’t wait for a small gap to become a leak
If we have found a cause, such as a loose tray or a leaking waste, get it fixed, because the new sealant can’t hold back a problem underneath.
Don’t keep resealing the same joint. Get the cause found first, otherwise the next attempt will fail too.
What the job involves on each surface
Over-sealed & botched joints
Botched joints sometimes have damaged edges from earlier scraping. We work carefully to avoid adding to it, and tell you about any damage we find.
Mouldy bath & shower sealant
Where mould keeps coming back, ventilation is generally part of the cause. Along with resealing, we will mention if the room needs better ventilation.
DIY sealant or a professional job?
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.
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, then guaranteed for a year.
Questions from Corkerhill
I’m in a tenement in Corkerhill. Could worn sealant affect the flat downstairs?
Yes, it can. In a tenement, water that gets past failed sealant or cracked grout can run under the bath or tray and through to the ceiling below, and then the repair involves your neighbours too. It’s worth sorting sealant and grout before it gets that far.
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Corkerhill station?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for. Just send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk with the address and what needs doing, and we will give you a clear quote.
How do I get a quote for remedial sealant in Corkerhill?
We do not publish prices, because the cost depends on the job: how much there is, what’s there now, how we reach it and what it needs. We agree the price before any work begins.
How long does the work take?
Allow a few hours, depending on how many layers have to come out. We’ll give you a timescale when we quote.
Is it worth trying it myself?
It depends on the job. High-level, external movement and fire-rated joints are professional jobs.
Are you ARBOMaster approved?
Yes. We are ARBOMaster approved, the scheme for applicators of Arbo sealants.
Can you take off two layers of silicone?
Yes. Each layer is cut out and the residue cleaned off, then the joint is resealed once.
My shower still leaks after a reseal. Can you sort it?
Yes. All the sealant comes out, we find out why it failed, and the joint is resealed properly.
Corkerhill homes and their sealant
In Scotland, private landlords have to meet the Repairing Standard, which includes keeping fixtures and fittings in reasonable repair. Failed sealant around a bath or shower is worth sorting between tenancies. Sandstone tenements are a big part of Glasgow’s housing, so many bathrooms sit right above a neighbour’s ceiling.
In the older streets around St James' (Pollok) Parish Church, bathrooms in older houses have often been refitted more than once, with sealant laid over sealant. Rented homes near Corkerhill station change hands often, and failed or mouldy sealant is worth putting right between tenancies, before it turns into a leak.

When to call us in Corkerhill
Products get mixed up: acrylic caulk in a wet area, a general-purpose sealant on a moving joint, or an acetoxy silicone on natural stone or some metals. Each fails in its own way.
Most people get in touch when they notice one of these:
- A second bead peeling off the first
- Dark patches showing through the sealant
- Kitchen joints letting water behind the worktop
- Smears and lumps from a botched reseal
If you look after a building such as St. Paul's High School, its toilets, changing areas and kitchens need their sealant renewed like any other building’s.
