About commercial sealant in the Scottish Borders
Guest bathrooms are cleaned every day and used by different people every night, so sealant wears out faster than it would at home. Rooms are resealed in batches, keeping most rooms available. We work on hotel bathrooms, office washrooms & kitchens and student & care accommodation, and people most often call us about joints that need doing before an inspection or audit and too many rooms to reseal without closing the building.
We bring everything the job needs with us, so there’s nothing for you to buy. After a quick look at the joints together, we protect the area and start. It normally takes a few hours per room, so whole buildings are phased.
- We agree a programme with you: which rooms, in what order, at what times.
- We go through your site’s paperwork needs, such as RAMS, before work begins.
- Old sealant is cut out room by room and joints cleaned and treated.
- We reseal with the right product for each joint.
- Rooms are handed back in order, each with its cure time.

Landmarks near Galashiels
We work in homes and buildings around Galashiels, Public House and Galashiels Academy. There’s a railway station in Galashiels itself: Galashiels station. A little further out are Borders General Hospital (2.7 miles south-east) and Castle Holydean (4.4 miles south-east). For a walk, there’s Eildon Mid Hill.
Commercial sealant across the Scottish Borders: local notes
Across the Scottish Borders, from Galashiels, Hawick and Peebles outwards, offices, hotels, schools and shops all need sealant work from time to time, from washroom silicone to fire-rated sealant around service openings.
Our work covers the whole of Scotland, the Scottish Borders included. Journeys are planned ahead, and outside jobs are booked around the forecast. Parts of the Scottish Borders are on or near the coast, where wind-driven rain and, closer to the shore, salt air are hard on outside sealant. Joints on seaward walls tend to fail first.
Galashiels: For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Galashiels Academy, busy washrooms and kitchens can be resealed in phases so they stay open. If you let a flat or house near Galashiels station, sealant work can be quoted for a single flat or a whole portfolio.
DIY versus a professional finish
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. Silicone doesn’t stick to old silicone, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. Everything old must be removed first.
A DIY attempt does not rule out a professional job. We cut it out and start again, so tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
Keeping the joints in good condition
How long the joints last depends on use and care. We suggest:
- Give housekeeping the cure time for every room
- Check extract fans are actually running
- Book larger programmes for quieter times of year
- Check the joints during routine room inspections
Each room is handed back with its cure time, which is generally around 24 hours. Pass it on to housekeeping or cleaners so nobody showers or cleans the joint too early.
A room that cannot be let or used is lost income. Small sealant faults caught early can be fixed between bookings or tenancies, before they become leaks that take the room out of use.
When something else is needed
We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what new sealant won’t do:
- Assessing what fire stopping a building needs
- Extraction that isn’t working, which needs an electrician or ventilation contractor
- Water damage behind the tiles that needs a tiler or builder
Surface by surface
Office washrooms & kitchens
Long vanity tops have joints that hold water and grime. It’s cut out, cleaned and resealed in one neat line.
Retail & leisure sites
Gym and leisure changing rooms take heavy use and plenty of water, so anti-fungal sanitary silicone is the product we use.

Common questions in the Scottish Borders
Should I try DIY first?
You can, for simple jobs. Preparation is everything: all the old sealant out, and a clean, dry joint. We can always put it right if it fails.
Do I need to be at home?
Access is agreed with you when the job is booked. For inside work, that normally means someone being in.
Can you reseal every bathroom in a hotel?
Yes. With more than 20 years’ experience and over 2,847 projects behind us, we plan big jobs so the building keeps running.
Can you start early or work out of hours?
In many cases. Tell us your opening hours and quiet times, and we will plan the work around them.
Can you reseal between tenancies?
Yes. For several properties, we can plan the work as one programme, fitting around access to each property.
Can you send RAMS and insurance details for our site?
We’re fully insured, and we’ll go through your site’s requirements with you. We will confirm what we can supply when we quote.
What information do you need?
Just the basics: the address or postcode, what’s wrong and any access issues. After that, simply email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk.
