About commercial sealant in the Shetland Islands
Larger jobs around the Shetland Islands start with a walk round the site. After that, you get one clear quote. For commercial sealant in the Shetland Islands, just email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk. Common call-outs are for washrooms that need sorting before an inspection and worktop sealant that has shrunk and stained, across office washrooms & kitchens, rental portfolios and hotel bathrooms.
Before we leave, we go over the finished joints with you and explain the cure time. The work normally takes a few hours per area, with larger sites planned over several visits, depending on the amount of work.
- We walk the site with you and agree the rooms, the order and the hours.
- Each area is protected and the old sealant cut out completely.
- The joints are degreased, treated and left to dry.
- We lay the right sealant for each area, with anti-fungal silicone in wet rooms.
- Rooms are checked and returned with a cure time so staff know when to use them.
What affects the price in the Shetland Islands

Commercial sealant across the Shetland Islands: local notes
In the Shetland Islands, commercial sealant work takes in washrooms, kitchens, shared areas and service openings, in Lerwick, Sound and Scalloway and well beyond. Room-by-room programmes and out-of-hours working can be arranged.
We work across all of Scotland, from the cities to the islands, and the Shetland Islands is part of that. Longer journeys are planned in advance, and outdoor work around the weather. Coastal guest houses and holiday lets in the Shetland Islands can see heavy use in busy months, so their sealant and grout wear faster than most.
Lerwick: Community buildings like St Margaret's Roman Catholic Church are part of the picture too: any kitchen and washrooms need the same sealant care as any other building. If you look after a building such as Anderson High School, busy washrooms and kitchens can be resealed in phases so they stay open.
When it is not the sealant
Sealant isn’t the answer to every problem, and we’ll tell you before work begins. It won’t solve:
- Assessing what fire stopping a building needs
- Water coming from plumbing rather than sealant
- Failed tanking or loose tiles behind the sealant
For landlords and businesses
For anyone letting property in or around the Shetland Islands, jobs at different addresses can go on one quote. Send us the addresses and the work at each.
Water getting past a failed joint can damage the building, which matters even more when someone else lives there. Keeping joints in good order is simple maintenance that we can handle for you.
What affects the quote in the Shetland Islands
Your quote is based on your job. We look at:
- The number and length of the joints
- How many areas need sealing
- Any mould that needs treating
- Whether old sealant or filler has to be cut out
We don’t show prices on the 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 and we’ll talk you through it.
What we need to know
Before you ask for a quote, have a think about:
- The address or postcode of the job
- A few pictures by email, if you can
- Whether it has been sealed before
- If it’s domestic, commercial or a hotel
A good description makes for an accurate quote. Tell us where the job is, what’s wrong and how much there is, and add photos by email if you can.
DIY sealant or a professional job?
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, such as a straightforward joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. New silicone won’t bond to old, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. All the old material has to come out first.
Looking after it afterwards
Good habits help new joints last longer. Our tips:
- Note the date each area was done
- Encourage users to squeegee shower walls
- Pass on the cure time to whoever cleans the rooms
- Schedule work around occupancy
Daily cleaning with harsh chemicals shortens the life of any sealant. Ask cleaners to use mild products and soft cloths on the sealant, with stronger products kept off the bead.
Mould in shared washrooms gets noticed and talked about. Left long enough, it spreads through the bead, so the fix is replacement.
