Remedial sealant in Cowcaddens

If a joint has been resealed and is leaking again, it’s worth a proper look. Send pictures when you drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk. Typical jobs include repeat leaks from the same joint and caulk or the wrong sealant used in a wet area, on leaking tray & enclosure joints, mouldy bath & shower sealant and botched or over-sealed joints.

In Scotland’s cities, including the area around Cowcaddens, many older flats had their bathrooms added into small rooms later on. Rooms like that are often small and slow to dry out, which is hard on sealant and grout.

We guarantee the work for a year. If there’s a problem with our work within the year, let us know and we will sort it.

Why it’s worth doing now in Cowcaddens

Ripping out a bathroom is not generally needed. When the fittings are sound, stripping and resealing the joints is often enough. Where something else has failed, you’ll hear it from us. In a Scottish city tenement, failed sealant affects more than one flat: water can reach the flat below, and gaps in shared walls or fire-stopping affect the whole stair.

There are no prices on our website, because the cost depends so much on the job itself. For a quick quote, please drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk.

Remedial sealant in Cowcaddens: local notes

Cowcaddens has hotels and guest accommodation nearby. Hotel bathrooms are part of our work as well as homes, and can be done room by room. In Scotland, private landlords have to meet the Repairing Standard, which covers keeping fixtures and fittings in a reasonable state of repair. Tired, leaking sealant is worth putting right before a new tenant moves in.

If you look after a building such as St Aloysius' College, its toilets, changing areas and kitchens need their sealant renewed like any other building’s. If you let a flat or house near Charing Cross (Glasgow) station, failed or mouldy sealant is worth putting right between tenancies, before it turns into a leak.

What we do, step by step

A visit follows a simple pattern: we look at the joints together, protect the area around them, carry out the job and tidy away. It normally takes a few hours for most joints, depending on how much old sealant has to come out. Inside a flat in Cowcaddens, the job is planned with you; outside, shared parts may need the factor or other owners involved. Tell us which applies when you book.

  1. We start by checking the joint for movement, leaks and the reason it failed.
  2. All the old sealant comes out, including any layers underneath.
  3. The joint is cleaned, treated for mould and left to dry.
  4. We use the right backing and sealant for any joint that moves.
  5. Finally we finish the joint and talk you through what we found.

Should I try it myself first?

Not every job suits DIY: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas call for the right materials, safe access and experience.

Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.

Leaking trays & enclosures

When failed joints are the cause, they’re all cut out and renewed, tray edges and screen profiles included.
