Commercial sealant in Canonmills
Wet areas get anti-fungal sanitary silicone, and kitchens get a food-safe product where it’s needed. We use sealants from Arbo and Everbuild, applied by ARBOMaster approved applicators. We work on rental portfolios, student & care accommodation and retail & leisure sites, and people most often call us about leaks from showers into rooms or ceilings below and mouldy bathrooms flagged at a tenancy check.
Scotland’s cities have offices, hotels, student flats, care homes and tenement blocks looked after by factors. For a building in Canonmills, the job might be washroom resealing or fire-rated sealant around service openings.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there’s a problem with our work within the year, let us know and we’ll sort it.

We won’t take on work that won’t last, so these are the limits:

- Water damage behind the tiles that needs a tiler or builder

What affects the quote in Canonmills
Call for a quick quote. What matters most is:
- Whether the work is at height
- Any working-time requirements on site
- The number of rooms or windows
- The type of sealant required
Leaving a failed joint usually makes the job bigger, not smaller. If you’re not sure whether it needs doing, email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk and we’ll give you an honest view and a quote.

- The address or postcode of the job
- Access, such as stairs, a lift or height
- What the problem is, such as mould, gaps, leaks or cracking
- The type of property

DIY sealant or a professional job?
Not every job suits DIY: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions, then guaranteed for a year.
Leave it or put it right?
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. For landlords in Canonmills, damp and leaks can be a Repairing Standard issue, so failed sealant is best replaced before it becomes a complaint.
Homes and businesses are quoted the same way: how much there is to do, how we reach it and what it needs, along with when we can work on site. Ask us for a quote and we will explain what it covers.
What you get with us

When to call us in Canonmills
Wet rooms and accessible showers are designed for the whole floor to get wet, so floor-to-wall joints take standing water. A failed joint there can soon let water into the floor or walls.
These are the problems we are asked about most:
- Failed joints in office kitchens and tea points
- Mouldy bathrooms flagged at a tenancy check
- Washroom sealant that looks dirty however often it’s cleaned
- Water marks on ceilings under bathrooms
If you let a flat or house near Edinburgh Waverley station, sealant work can be quoted for a single flat or a whole portfolio.
What to look for in a quote
- How long to leave it before use
- Whether they’re fully insured
- How the colour is chosen
- The length of the guarantee
How to look after the new joints
Good habits help new joints last longer. A few tips:
- Report broken fans quickly
- Ask cleaners to go gently on the silicone
- Pass on the cure time to whoever cleans the rooms
- Get split or lifting joints looked at early
Ask staff to report splits or lifting sealant early. A small gap caught quickly is a short fix.
Planned resealing is easier to manage than emergency repairs. We can fit the work around bookings, shifts and opening hours, instead of rooms closing without warning.
What happens on the day
When we arrive, we look over the joints with you first. We protect the surfaces around the joints before work begins. The work normally takes anything from a few hours to several days, depending on the number of rooms. Many homes in Scotland’s cities are tenement flats, reached through a shared close and up a common stair. In Canonmills, it helps to know the floor, the door entry arrangements and the nearest parking.
- We start by looking at the rooms and agreeing what’s needed.
- We agree when we’ll work, with early or out-of-hours slots where they 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
- Tell us about any previous sealing or DIY attempts
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit
- Tell us if parking is tricky
Getting a quote
Asking for a quote is easy: let us know the job and the location, and roughly how big it is. A few photos by email make the job easier to understand, and we’ll come back to you with a quote.

Commercial buildings in Canonmills
If you run a hotel, guest house or holiday let in a coastal place like Canonmills, heavy use in the busy months is hard on washroom and kitchen sealant, and any building work there should leave fire-rated joints made good. In Scotland, private landlords have to meet the Repairing Standard, and keeping sealant sound across a portfolio is part of that.
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Drummond Community High School, sealant in washrooms, kitchens and changing areas can be renewed around term times or opening hours.
