DIY sealant or a professional job?
If you do try it yourself, take your time over the preparation: take out all the old sealant, make sure the joint is clean and dry, and give it the full cure time. If it fails, we can still redo it.
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions, then guaranteed for a year.
About our commercial sealant in Abune-the-Hill
In a hotel, office or washroom, failed sealant is more than an eyesore. It’s a cleaning problem, a leak risk and something guests and staff notice. We reseal bathrooms, washrooms, welfare areas and kitchens so they look cared for again. We are often asked to deal with whole floors of tired en suites and worktop sealant that has shrunk and stained, across retail & leisure sites, hotel bathrooms and welfare facilities.
In a smaller place like Abune-the-Hill, commercial jobs are more likely to be a hotel, guest house, school, surgery or community hall than an office block. All of them have washrooms, kitchens and fire-rated joints that need looking after.
You get a 12-month guarantee, the same in Abune-the-Hill as everywhere else we work.

How it works
Before we leave, we go over the finished joints with you and tell you how long to leave it. The work normally takes anything from a few hours to several days, depending on the number of rooms, depending on the size of the job. Around Abune-the-Hill, distance and access matter more than parking. Let us know how to find you and how to reach the joints, and the visit is planned around that.
- We start by looking at the rooms and agreeing what’s needed.
- Working hours are agreed, including early starts or out-of-hours work where it can be arranged.
- Areas are protected and the failed sealant removed.
- Once dry, every joint is resealed and tooled.
- Housekeeping or site staff are told when each area can be used.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention any sign-in or site rules at work premises
- Mention any parking rules near the property
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children

Related advice
What the job involves on each surface
Retail & leisure sites
Changing areas and showers at leisure sites are wet all day, so joints are sealed with anti-fungal sanitary silicone.
Rental portfolios
Between tenancies is a good time to reseal, so the next tenant moves in to clean, sound joints.
Common questions in Abune-the-Hill
Do you cover Abune-the-Hill for commercial sealant?
Yes. We work across all of Scotland, and Abune-the-Hill is part of that. You can send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk and let us know what needs doing.
Will you come out to Abune-the-Hill?
Yes, we do. Our work covers the whole of Scotland, islands included, and smaller places are part of that. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
Can you reseal every bathroom in a hotel?
Yes. We work through big sites room by room or floor by floor, so only part of the building is affected at once.
Do you work for landlords and letting agents?
Yes. Tell us the addresses and the rooms, and we will quote for the lot.
Will you leave a mess?
Very little: the area around the joints is protected first, and we clear up the old sealant and our materials before we leave.
Is it OK to seal over old sealant?
No, it won’t last. It may look fine at first, but the new bead soon lifts. Removing the old sealant completely is the only lasting way.
Do you offer different sealant colours?
We will suggest a colour to suit the surroundings, from white and clear to greys and other shades. The choice depends on the product the joint needs.
Can you start early or work out of hours?
In many cases. Tell us your opening hours and quiet times, and we will see what can be arranged.

What affects the quote in Abune-the-Hill
The price is agreed before any work begins. It’s based on:
- Any mould that needs treating
- Any working-time requirements on site
- The type of sealant required
- The number of rooms or windows
The cost depends on how much there is to do, how hard the old material is to remove and how easy the joints are to reach. You’ll have a clear quote before any work starts, so you know where you stand.
What to tell us for a quote
Photos by email are helpful but not essential. Try to tell us:
- The rough size of the job
- Photos by email, if that is easy
- Whether it has been sealed before
- The problem you’ve noticed
We quote each job on its own. Simply send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk and describe the job, and pictures are welcome.
What we can’t put right
Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits too:
- Extraction that is not working, which needs an electrician or ventilation contractor
- Cracked trays or baths rather than failed joints
- Tiles coming off the wall
Not sure which it is? You can email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk and we will tell you honestly.
Joints and surfaces we work on
- Office washrooms & kitchens
- Rental portfolios
- Welfare facilities
- Retail & leisure sites
- Student & care accommodation
- Hotel bathrooms
Why deal with it now?
Replacing a whole washroom takes time, money and several trades. When the fittings are sound, renewing the sealant brings it back with far less upheaval. We’ll tell you if we find anything that needs another trade. In a place like Abune-the-Hill, small leaks are easy to put off, but water behind a failed seal does the most damage when nobody’s watching.
The cost reflects the work involved, not guesswork. That’s why we ask a few questions first and send you a clear quote before any work starts.
What you get with us
- ARBOMaster approved applicator
- Fully insured
- White, clear, grey or another colour, product permitting
- Any old sealant cut out fully, not covered over
