Commercial & hotel sealant in Dounby, Orkney Islands
Problem with your washrooms, bathrooms and kitchens in Dounby? We cut out the old, prepare the joints and apply the right sealant, with a 12-month guarantee.
- Silicone laid over old silicone by a previous contractor
- Split sealant around staff kitchen worktops and sinks
- Tired sealant in let properties
What we cannot put right
Honest advice matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what new sealant will not do:
- Cracked trays or baths rather than failed joints
- Extraction that isn’t working, which needs an electrician or ventilation contractor
- Water coming from plumbing rather than sealant
If in doubt, drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk and we’ll say what we think before you book.
Surfaces we seal
- Retail & leisure sites

Looking after it afterwards
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Check the joints during routine room inspections
- Report broken fans quickly
- Act on lifting sealant before it leaks
- Schedule work around occupancy
Each room is handed back with its cure time, which is generally around 24 hours. Pass it on to housekeeping or cleaners so nobody showers or cleans the joint too early.
Water from a failed shower seal can travel: through floors, into ceilings and across into corridors. Early resealing keeps it from getting that far.

What happens if it’s left?
Sealant work is quick by the room: it takes a few hours per room, so whole buildings are phased. After that, each area needs its cure time before use, so planning the order matters more than the hours on site. Around Dounby, water from a failed joint in an older stone home can soak into timber and plaster, which is a far bigger job than the sealant.
Rather than a set price list, we price the job in front of us: the amount of work, the old material and the access. You’ll know the price before we begin.

Questions from Dounby
Do you cover Dounby for commercial sealant?
Yes. We work across all of Scotland, and Dounby is part of that. Just drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk with a few details of the job, and we’ll give you a clear price.
Is commercial sealant in Dounby guaranteed?
Every job comes with our one-year guarantee, wherever it is. We are fully insured, and an ARBOMaster approved applicator.
Do you take out the old sealant first?
Yes, every time. New sealant will not bond properly to old, so the joint is cleaned back first.
Can you match the sealant colour?
Most of the time, yes. We’ll explain which colours are available.
Will there be a smell?
There can be a smell while the sealant cures, but it fades. Opening a window helps.
Can you seal over the old sealant?
No. Fresh sealant doesn’t stick to old sealant, and it traps any mould or water underneath. It all has to come out first.
How long will you be here?
That depends on how much there is to do, but most jobs take a few hours per room, so whole buildings are phased. We will give you a better idea when we quote.
What should I tell you?
A short description and the location, with photos by email if possible. If we need more, we will ask.
What affects the quote in Dounby
There’s no set price list, because jobs vary so much. The quote depends on:
- Whether the work is at height
- Whether there’s mould to deal with
- How much there is to do
- The number of rooms or windows
The cost reflects the work involved, not guesswork. That is why we ask about the job first and give you a clear quote before we start.
What we need to know
Photos by email are helpful but not essential. Try to tell us:
- The address or postcode of the job
- The type of property
- The rough size of the job
- A few photos by email, if you can
A good description makes for an accurate quote. Let us know the location, the problem and roughly how many joints, and add photos by email if you can.
How the visit works
At the end, we look at the finished work together. The visit itself usually takes a few hours for a single washroom, longer for a whole building, depending on the size of the job. Outdoor work around Dounby depends on the weather, as sealant needs a dry surface, so an outdoor job can move if the forecast changes. Indoor work goes ahead whatever the weather.

Different surfaces, different methods
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.
Commercial buildings in Dounby
For seaside hotels, guest houses and holiday lets around Dounby, busy months put washrooms and kitchens under pressure, so it’s worth checking the sealant before the busiest weeks.

For jobs in and around Dounby, choosing the right material for each joint is as important as a tidy finish. In and around Dounby, as anywhere, good commercial sealant starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint.
