Commercial sealant for homes and businesses in Drylaw
Hotel bathrooms take hard daily use and constant cleaning, so sealant wears out faster than it would at home. Rooms are resealed in batches, so only a few are out of use at once. We work on retail & leisure sites, office washrooms & kitchens and hotel bathrooms, and people most often call us about tired sealant in let properties and black, stained silicone in guest bathrooms.
Hotels, serviced apartments and student accommodation in Scotland’s cities need their bathrooms kept in order between guests, so jobs in Drylaw can be programmed room by room, with out-of-hours working possible to arrange.
Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by our 12-month guarantee in Drylaw and across Edinburgh.

Commercial sealant in Drylaw: local notes
For seaside hotels, guest houses and holiday lets around Drylaw, busy months put washrooms and kitchens under pressure, so it’s worth checking the sealant before the busiest weeks. In Scotland, private landlords have to meet the Repairing Standard, and keeping sealant sound across a portfolio is part of that.
If you look after a church, hall or community building such as St Columba's Parish Church, any kitchen and washrooms need the same sealant care as any other building. Rented homes near Haymarket station change hands often, and several rental properties can be resealed on one programme.
Drylaw is about 2 miles west of Stockbridge, in Edinburgh. We provide commercial sealant to homeowners, landlords and businesses in Drylaw and the surrounding area. Our area takes in 175 places across Edinburgh.

How the visit works
We keep the work tidy and contained to the area we’re working on, so you can carry on as normal.

What else we do in Drylaw
What we’re called out for in Drylaw
A rushed reseal between guests rarely lasts. Sealing over old silicone, sealing wet joints or using the wrong product means the joint fails again soon.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Split sealant where wet room floors meet walls
- Silicone laid over old silicone by a previous contractor
- Shower leaks reaching the floor below
- Washrooms that need sorting before an inspection
Managing a site like Craigroyston Community High School? Then washroom and kitchen sealant can be programmed around term times or opening hours.
Questions to ask before you book
- How much experience the applicator has
- What preparation is included
- The length of the guarantee
- Whether you can choose the colour
Looking after it afterwards
Good habits help new joints last longer. A few tips:
- Act on lifting sealant before it leaks
- Add sealant to your planned maintenance checks
- Report broken fans quickly
- Keep a record of which rooms were resealed and when
Add sealant checks to your planned maintenance. Checking joints alongside other room checks catches failures before they leak.
It’s easier to plan a programme than to react to failures. Rooms can be scheduled around occupancy and staff, instead of rooms closing without warning.
Why act early in Drylaw
First impressions are often made in the washroom. Mouldy silicone looks unhygienic, however hard housekeeping work, and cleaning rarely puts it right. New sealant does. Scottish rain finds any gap around a frame or wall joint, and in Drylaw, damp can spread through stone and plaster before anyone sees it.
Homes and businesses are quoted the same way: the amount of work, the access and the products needed, along with when we can work on site. Ask us for a quote and we’ll go through it with you.
What you get with us
- White, clear, grey or another colour, product permitting
- You choose the colour before work begins
- Fully insured
- Tidy, careful work

Quotes for commercial sealant in Drylaw
There’s no set price list. The quote depends on:
- The product the joint needs
- Whether the work is at height
- The size of the job
- The old material and how stubborn it is
Rather than a set price list, we look at what your job involves: the amount of work, the old material and the access. The price is agreed before we begin.
Asking for a quote
What to tell us when you ask for a quote:
- Whether it has been sealed before

- Access, such as stairs, a lift or height
- Roughly how big the job is
Want a quote for commercial sealant? Please send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk with a few details. You will know what we plan to do, and what it will cost, before any work begins.
Should I try it myself first?
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions.
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, such as a straightforward joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
When something else is needed
A few problems are outside what sealant work can do:
- A broken extractor fan behind the mould problem
- Leaking pipework, valves or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- Damaged sanitaryware that needs replacing
If in doubt, drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk and we’ll say what we think before booking.
