How we handle commercial sealant in Colinton Mains
Guest bathrooms are cleaned every day and used by different people every night, so sealant there has a hard life. We work through rooms in batches, keeping most rooms available. Typical jobs include split sealant around staff kitchen worktops and sinks and joints that need doing before an inspection or audit, across office washrooms & kitchens, hotel bathrooms and rental portfolios.
In Scotland’s cities, hotels and student accommodation need sealant work done without emptying the building, so work in Colinton Mains can be planned room by room, and out of hours where needed.
Big or small, it’s backed by our 12-month guarantee in Colinton Mains and across Edinburgh.

What we do, step by step
When we arrive, we look over the joints with you first, so there are no surprises. We protect the surfaces around the joints before work begins. Most jobs take a few hours per room, so whole buildings are phased. In a Scottish city, a lot of jobs are in tenement flats, up a common stair from a shared close. In Colinton Mains, it helps to know the floor, the door entry arrangements and the nearest parking.
- We walk the site with you and agree the rooms, the order and the hours.
- Room by room, we protect the area and remove all the old sealant.
- Joints are cleaned, treated for mould and dried.
- New sealant suited to each area is applied and tooled.
- Each room is checked and handed back with its cure time.
Preparing for the visit
- Move anything stored near the joints
- For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can
- Mention any sign-in or site rules at work premises

Should I try it myself 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.
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. Silicone does not stick to old silicone, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. All the old material has to come out first.
Commercial buildings in Colinton Mains
Private landlords in Scotland must meet the Repairing Standard, and keeping sealant sound across a portfolio is part of that.

Different surfaces, different methods
Student & care accommodation
Vacant rooms make resealing quick and simple.
Office washrooms & kitchens
In staff kitchens, we degrease joints before resealing, with a food-safe product beside sinks where needed.
Honest limits
In fairness, there are a few things sealant won’t fix:
- Extraction that isn’t working, which needs an electrician or ventilation contractor
- Damaged sanitaryware that needs replacing
- Leaking pipework, valves or wastes (a plumber’s job)
If in doubt, drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk and we’ll say what we think.

Why deal with it now?
Refitting a washroom is a big, disruptive project. When the fittings are sound, renewing the sealant brings it back with far less upheaval. If something else is wrong, we will say so. Scottish rain finds any gap around a frame or wall joint, and in a tall building in Colinton Mains, damp can travel a long way before it shows.
Some things make a job bigger or smaller: how much old sealant there is and how stubborn it is, whether mould needs treating, and whether we need extra access for height. We take all of that into account in your quote.
Why book with us
- Anti-fungal silicone where joints get wet
- 12-month guarantee on every job
- An ARBOMaster approved applicator
- White, clear, grey or coloured to suit, where the product allows
Do you need commercial sealant in Colinton Mains?
Larger buildings move, and stud walls move more than solid ones. Joints between different materials take the strain.
The problems people generally mention when they call include:
- Tired sealant in let properties
- Mouldy washroom sealant that staff and guests notice
- Large numbers of bathrooms needing the same work
- Water marks on ceilings under bathrooms
Schools such as Firrhill High School are buildings too, and washroom and kitchen sealant can be programmed around term times or opening hours.
Questions to ask before booking
- How the surfaces are prepared before sealing
- Whether VAT is included
- What happens if the job turns out different
- How much experience the applicator has
Common questions in Colinton Mains
Do you cover Colinton Mains for commercial sealant?
Yes, Colinton Mains is within the area we cover. We work across all of Scotland. You can email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk and let us know what needs doing, and we’ll give you a clear quote.
Do you work for landlords with property near Slateford station?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. You can send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk with the address and a few details, and we’ll give you a fixed price before we start.
What do you put in the joint?
We choose the sealant for the joint, not the other way round. Movement, water and weather all affect the choice, and we’ll explain our choice.
Can you work around guests in a hotel?
Normally, yes. We agree the room order and times with your managers, and each room is handed back with a cure time.
Can you match the sealant colour?
Generally, yes. White, clear and grey are common, and other colours are available, and we’ll agree it with you first.
Can new sealant go over the old?
No. Fresh sealant doesn’t stick to old sealant, and anything trapped underneath, including mould and water, stays there. We remove it all first.
Do you guarantee commercial jobs?
Yes. We are fully insured, ARBOMaster approved and give a one-year guarantee on every job.
Can you reseal every bathroom in a hotel?
Yes, we can. Larger jobs are planned as a room-by-room or floor-by-floor programme, keeping most of it in use.
