Water getting past a failed joint can damage the building, which is a bigger problem in a rented property. Keeping joints in good order is simple maintenance that we can handle for you.
Remedial sealant in Pollokshaws
Not every leak is a sealant leak. 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. We work on mouldy bath & shower sealant, failed movement joints and expansion joints, and people most often call us about sealant peeling off a dusty or damp surface and caulk or the wrong sealant used in a wet area.
Tenement flats are common in all four of Scotland’s big cities, alongside houses and newer flats. 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 is as true in Pollokshaws as anywhere in the city.
Your job is guaranteed for a year, as with all our work.

What the job involves on each surface
Mouldy bath & shower sealant
Repeat mould normally points to a damp, poorly aired room. We will reseal and tell you if extraction looks to be the issue.
Movement & expansion joints
Movement joints in floors, walls and façades need a flexible sealant set to the right depth. We remove the failed sealant, fit backing and reseal with a low-modulus product.

Common problems we fix in Pollokshaws
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. None of them last.
If you can see any of these, it’s time to have the joints looked at:
- A shower that leaks however often it’s resealed
- Smears and lumps from a botched reseal
- Worktop sealant that has shrunk and split
- Movement joints that have split or pulled away

Pollokshaws questions
Do you work for hotels and guest houses in Pollokshaws?
Yes. Hotel and guest-house work is part of what we do. Work can be planned room by room, and out-of-hours working can be arranged.
Do you work for landlords with property near Pollokshaws West station?
Yes, we work for letting agents and landlords. You can drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk with the address and a few details, and we will give you a fixed price before any work starts.
Someone resealed my shower and it’s leaking again. Can you help?
Yes. All the sealant comes out, we find out why it failed, and the joint is resealed properly.
Will it make a mess?
Not at all. The area is protected while we work and cleaned up afterwards.
Is there any odour?
That depends on the sealant. Some smell for a while, some hardly at all.
Do you fix expansion and movement joints?
Yes. Where mortar or filler has been used instead of sealant, it’s removed where it can be, then the joint is sealed properly.
Can you take off two layers of silicone?
Yes. We cut out all the layers and clean off the film, then the joint is resealed once.
Do you guarantee remedial jobs?
Yes. Every job comes with our 12-month guarantee.
The process
Most of a good job is in the preparation, so that’s where we spend the time. Every joint is cleaned and dried before new material goes in. In total, it normally takes a few hours for most joints, depending on how much old sealant has to come out. In a Scottish city, a lot of jobs are in tenement flats, up a common stair from a shared close. For a job in Pollokshaws, tell us the floor, how the door entry system works and where we can park nearby.
- We look at how the sealant has failed and check for movement or a leak path.
- All the old sealant comes out, including any layers underneath.
- The joint is cleaned, treated for mould and left to dry.
- We use the right backing and sealant for any joint that moves.
- Finally we finish the joint and talk you through what we found.
Before we arrive
- Tell us if parking is tricky
- Clear items away from the joints we’re working on
- Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints

Advice
Honest limits
Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits:
- Older mastics that may need an asbestos check before removal
- A tray or worktop that needs refixing first
- Tiles that have come away from the wall
If in doubt, drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk and we will say what we think.
Joints and surfaces we work on
- Mouldy bath & shower sealant
- Shrunken worktop sealant
- Failed movement joints
- Leaking tray & enclosure joints
- Expansion joints
- Botched or over-sealed joints
What happens if it’s left?
Repeat failures have a cause. Finding it, whether movement, water from elsewhere or an unsuitable product, ends the cycle. Private landlords in Pollokshaws 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.
Some things make a job bigger or smaller: how much old sealant there is and how stubborn it is, any mould to treat, and whether we need extra access for height. We take all of that into account in your quote.
