- Sealant failing again soon after quick repairs
- Leaks from showers into rooms or ceilings below
What we do, step by step
On the day, we start by going over the job with you. We protect the surfaces around the joints before any work starts. The work generally takes anything from a few hours to several days, depending on the number of rooms. Outside jobs in Cairston need a dry day, because sealant will not bond to a wet joint, so an outdoor job can move if the forecast changes. Indoor work goes ahead whatever the weather.
- The first visit is a look round the site to agree the scope.
- Working hours are agreed, including early starts or out-of-hours work where it can be arranged.
- Each area is protected and stripped of old sealant.
- Joints are dried, then resealed and tooled neatly.
- We let your team know the cure time for every area.
How to prepare
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive
- For business premises, tell us about site rules or sign-in
- Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work

How we handle commercial sealant in Cairston
For a rental portfolio, resealing between tenants keeps bathrooms and kitchens presentable. We can quote for several properties at once. We are often asked to deal with water marks on ceilings under bathrooms and black, stained silicone in guest bathrooms, on retail & leisure sites, student & care accommodation and welfare facilities.
In a smaller place like Cairston, commercial jobs are more likely to be a hotel, guest house, school, surgery or community hall than an office block. Each needs sound sealant in its washrooms and kitchens, and fire-rated joints kept in good order.
There’s a 12-month guarantee on every job, large or small.

What the job involves on each surface
Rental portfolios
A sound seal protects the property as well as its appearance, especially where you rarely see the bathroom yourself.
Hotel bathrooms
In a hotel, every bathroom is used and cleaned daily, so we use anti-fungal sanitary silicone and finish joints smooth for easy cleaning.
How to look after the new joints
Aftercare is simple:
- Include the silicone on your room checklists
- Book larger programmes for quieter times of year
- Pass on the cure time to whoever cleans the rooms
- Get split or lifting joints looked at early
Add sealant checks to your planned maintenance. A quick look at each bathroom when rooms are checked spots problems early.
Black sealant in a staff washroom or guest bathroom draws complaints. Left long enough, it spreads through the bead, so the fix is replacement.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Cairston
We work for landlords and letting agents as well as householders. Sealant work between tenants keeps a property looking cared for before the next move-in.
Businesses can book us for washrooms, kitchens, offices and more. For commercial premises, we can talk through working times when we quote.
DIY sealant or a professional job?
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.
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.
What else we do in Cairston
Cairston: your questions answered
Will you come out to Cairston?
Yes, Cairston is covered. Our work covers the whole of Scotland, islands included, and smaller places are part of that. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
Do you cover Cairston for commercial sealant?
Yes. Our work covers the whole of Scotland, and Cairston is part of that. Just email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk with a few details of the job.
Does commercial work come with a guarantee?
Yes. Every job, domestic or commercial, carries our 12-month guarantee.
Do you take on large, multi-room jobs?
Yes. We work through big sites room by room or floor by floor, so only part of the building is affected at once.
Can I do it myself?
It depends on the job. Work at height, movement joints, fire-rated gaps and large areas are best left to a professional.
Is there any odour?
Sometimes, a little. Any smell clears as the sealant cures.
Will the old sealant be removed?
Yes. All of the old material is cut out and the joint cleaned before resealing.
Are you an approved applicator?
Yes. ARBOMaster is the approved applicator scheme for Arbo sealants, and we’re part of it.
Do you need commercial sealant in Cairston?
Plenty of commercial bathrooms have no window at all, so if the fan is weak, steam lingers and the sealant stays damp. Mould then takes hold in the silicone.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Silicone laid over old silicone by a previous contractor
- Shower leaks reaching the floor below
- Split sealant around staff kitchen worktops and sinks
- Washrooms that need sorting before an inspection
If you look after a building such as stromness primary school, busy washrooms and kitchens can be resealed in phases so they stay open.

Why it’s worth doing now in Cairston
A leaking shower in a hotel room or flat above can damage the ceiling below. That means a second room out of use and a repair to pay for. Resealing first is the smaller job. Around Cairston, water from a failed joint in an older stone home can soak into timber and plaster.
