Remedial sealant in Govan, done properly
Water on the floor doesn’t always mean failed silicone. A cracked tray, a failed shower valve or a leaking waste can look just the same. When the fault is elsewhere, we say so instead of resealing for the sake of it. Common call-outs are for torn expansion joints and a shower that leaks however often it’s resealed, on mouldy bath & shower sealant, leaking tray & enclosure joints and expansion joints.
Stone-built tenements are part of every Scottish city, alongside suburban houses and modern blocks. In a tenement, most bathrooms sit above someone else’s ceiling, so failed sealant around a bath or shower can soon become a neighbour’s problem, and that’s as true in Govan as anywhere in the city.
Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by our 12-month guarantee.

Landlord and commercial work in Govan
In hotels, rooms out of use cost money, so the work can be planned room by room around your bookings where we can. We’ve worked in hotels as well as homes and businesses.
We also work for property managers and facilities teams in Govan and across Glasgow. We can quote a run of properties together, and we are fully insured for the work.
How to look after the new joints
Good habits help new joints last longer. Our tips:
- Run the fan after every shower
- Never fill a movement joint with mortar or grout
- Don’t wait for a small gap to become a leak
- Get the cause of a repeat leak found before resealing
Go easy on the new sealant: no scraping, scouring pads or harsh chemicals.
Warning signs: peeling layers, mould showing through the bead, leaks after showering or cracks in a movement joint. Any of them means it’s time for remedial work.
Your questions about remedial sealant in Govan
Do you work for hotels and guest houses in Govan?
Yes, hospitality work, including hotels, is part of what we do. Jobs can be programmed room by room, with out-of-hours working possible to arrange.
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Partick station?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. Just email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk and tell us about the property, and we’ll give you a clear price.
Can you take off two layers of silicone?
Yes. It’s slower than a standard reseal, because every layer has to come out cleanly, but it’s the only way the new joint will last.
Where are you based?
We are based in Crawley, West Sussex, and we cover South East England, London and all of Scotland.
Do I have to be there?
It depends on the job. Inside work needs someone to give us access, while outside work can sometimes be arranged differently.
What do you need from me for a quote?
Just the basics: where it is, what you’ve noticed and how we reach it. Then email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk.
Do you remove the old sealant?
Yes, always, and completely. New silicone does not stick to old silicone, so the joint is cleaned back first.
Are you ARBOMaster approved?
Yes. We are ARBOMaster approved, the scheme for applicators of Arbo sealants.
How the visit works
We bring everything the job needs with us, so you don’t need to buy or prepare anything. Once we have agreed what’s being done, we protect the area and start. Most jobs take a few hours for a typical bath or shower, longer where several layers have been applied. For a tenement in Govan, work inside your flat is between us and you, while shared parts may need the factor or neighbours to agree. It helps to know which it is when you get in touch.
- The failure is looked at first, so we know whether it’s sealant, movement or water from elsewhere.
- Each layer is cut out and the residue cleaned off.
- We treat any mould and dry the joint thoroughly.
- We reseal with a product suited to the joint, backed where needed.
- We finish neatly and point out anything that needs another trade.
Preparing for the visit
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive
- Let us know if you’ve seen damp or leaks
- Clear items away from the joints we are working on

Remedial sealant around Govan
Scottish Water supplies are generally soft, so limescale is less of a problem than in hard-water areas. Mould is another matter: a bathroom that stays damp still turns sealant and grout black. In Scotland, private landlords have to meet the Repairing Standard, which covers keeping fixtures and fittings in a reasonable state of repair. Failed sealant around a bath or shower is worth sorting between tenancies.
For an older house near a landmark such as St Mary's Church, older homes can move a little, which is hard on rigid grout and tired sealant. Rented homes near Partick station change hands often, and failed or mouldy sealant is worth putting right between tenancies, before it turns into a leak.

How the job changes by surface
Leaking trays & enclosures
When failed joints are the cause, they’re all cut out and renewed, tray edges and screen profiles included.
Worktops & kitchens
A loose worktop splits its sealant. It needs fixing down first, which we’ll point out.
When it is not the sealant
Honest advice matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what sealant cannot fix:
- A bath, tray or worktop that moves until it’s properly fixed
- Old mastic in a building from before 2000 that should be checked for asbestos before it’s disturbed
- Plumbing leaks behind walls or under trays
Not sure which it is? You can send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk and we will tell you honestly before booking.
Surfaces we seal
- Expansion joints
- Failed movement joints
- Shrunken worktop sealant
- Mouldy bath & shower sealant
- Botched or over-sealed joints
- Leaking tray & enclosure joints
What else we do in Govan
DIY versus a professional finish
Some jobs are best left to a professional: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas need the right product, the right access and the right method.
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. Everything old must be removed first.
Leave it or put it right?
Mould under a bead can’t be reached by cleaning. The layers have to come out. Private landlords in Govan must meet the Repairing Standard, and damp or leaks can fall short of it, so failed sealant is best replaced before it becomes a complaint.
Instead of a standard rate, we look at what your job involves: the amount of work, the old material and the access. You will know the price before we begin.
