Commercial sealant in Colinton
In showers and washrooms we use anti-fungal sanitary silicone, with a food-safe sealant by kitchen sinks where needed. Products include Arbo and Everbuild sealants, applied by ARBOMaster approved applicators. Typical jobs include water marks on ceilings under bathrooms and too many rooms to reseal without closing the building, on hotel bathrooms, office washrooms & kitchens and student & care accommodation.
In Scotland, building work comes under the Building (Scotland) Regulations and their technical handbooks. In Colinton, as anywhere, fire-rated sealant goes in to the product’s tested details and washroom sealant is chosen to cope with heavy use.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything is not right with it, send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk.

What we cannot put right
New sealant can’t fix everything, and we’d rather say so up front. It won’t solve:
- A shower tray, bath or basin that is cracked or broken
- Failed tanking or loose tiles behind the sealant
- Fire risk assessments or certification
If in doubt, email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk and we will say what we think.

What the job involves on each surface
Welfare facilities
Shower rooms in welfare blocks get heavy use and need sound joints. We reseal with anti-fungal sanitary silicone.
Retail & leisure sites
Retail and leisure sites have washrooms, kitchens and changing areas with sealant to maintain. Work can be arranged outside opening hours where that’s possible.
How to look after the new joints
Joint life depends on how it’s used and looked after. Here’s what we suggest:
- Log resealing so you know what’s due
- Check extract fans are actually running
- Schedule work around occupancy
- Don’t leave a failed joint until the next refurbishment
Each room is handed back with its cure time, generally around 24 hours. Make sure housekeeping or cleaning staff know it so nobody showers or cleans the joint too early.
Mould in shared washrooms gets noticed and talked about. The longer it’s left, the deeper it grows into the silicone, and only replacement fixes it.
DIY versus a professional finish
If you do try it yourself, take your time over the preparation: remove every trace of old sealant, clean and dry the joint, and follow the product’s cure time. If it fails, we can still redo it.
Not every job suits DIY: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs need the right product, the right access and the right method.

What we’re called out for in Colinton
Quick fixes come back quickly. Sealing over old silicone, sealing wet joints or using the wrong product all lead to the same thing: another reseal before long.
People generally contact us when they notice something like this:
- Shower leaks reaching the floor below
- Worktop sealant that has shrunk and stained
- Split sealant where wet room floors meet walls
- Washrooms that need sorting before an inspection
For buildings such as Colinton Parish Church, any kitchen and washrooms need the same sealant care as any other building.
Questions to ask before you book
- Whether you can choose the colour
- How long to leave it before use
- How much experience the applicator has
- How the joint is cleaned and prepared
Colinton questions
Is there a guarantee on commercial sealant in Colinton?
Every job comes with our 12-month guarantee, wherever it is. We are also fully insured and ARBOMaster approved.
Is Colinton in your area for commercial sealant?
Yes, Colinton is within the area we cover. We work across all of Scotland. Just drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk with a few details of the job.
Where is Mr Mastic based?
Our base is in Crawley, and we cover South East England, London and all of Scotland.
Do you hold any approvals?
Yes. We are approved under the ARBOMaster scheme, which is run for the Arbo sealant brand.
When can guests or staff use the shower again?
Plan for around 24 hours, or the cure time we give for that area. Planning the order of rooms keeps that downtime manageable.
Will the old sealant be removed?
Yes. Sealing over old sealant is the main reason resealing fails early, so we never do it.
Can the hotel stay open while you work?
Yes. We agree a batch of rooms for each visit, working around check-out and check-in where possible.
Can you match the sealant colour?
We help you choose a colour that suits, from white and clear to greys and other shades. The product needed can limit the range.
What commercial sealant looks like in Colinton
Private landlords in Scotland must meet the Repairing Standard, and keeping sealant sound across a portfolio is part of that.
If you let a flat or house near Kingsknowe station, we can quote for one property or a whole portfolio of rentals. For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Army School of Bagpipe Music and Highland Drumming, sealant in washrooms, kitchens and changing areas can be renewed around term times or opening hours.

How the visit works
The work is kept neat and contained to the joints we are treating. The job generally takes a few hours per area, with larger sites planned over several visits, and we tell you how long to leave it before we go. Many homes in Scotland’s cities are tenement flats, reached through a shared close and up a common stair. In Colinton, it helps to know the floor, the door entry arrangements and the nearest parking.
- 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.
- 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
- Let us know about parking restrictions
- Move anything stored near the joints
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children
