Common problems we fix in Dumbiedykes
A rushed reseal between guests rarely lasts. New silicone over old, joints that weren’t dried, or an unsuitable product all lead to the same thing: another reseal before long.
Look out for these signs:
- Large numbers of bathrooms needing the same work
- Leaks from showers into rooms or ceilings below
- Mouldy washroom sealant that staff and guests notice
- Washrooms that need sorting before an inspection
Managing a site like Old Royal High School? Then busy washrooms and kitchens can be resealed in phases so they stay open.
Questions to ask before booking
- How the joint is cleaned and prepared
- How long the guarantee is
- What insurance they hold
- Which colour the sealant will be
Commercial sealant in Dumbiedykes, done properly
Guest bathrooms are cleaned every day and used by different people every night, so sealant there has a hard life. Rooms are resealed in batches, keeping most rooms available, with a cure time for each room so housekeeping know when to release it. If you’re dealing with mouldy bathrooms flagged at a tenancy check and water marks on ceilings under bathrooms, we can put it right.
Hotels, serviced apartments and student accommodation in Scotland’s cities need their bathrooms kept in order between guests, so jobs in Dumbiedykes can be programmed room by room, with out-of-hours working possible to arrange.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there’s a problem with our work within the year, let us know and we will sort it.

Different surfaces, different methods
Office washrooms & kitchens
A row of basins on a vanity top has a long joint that collects water. It’s cut out, cleaned and resealed in one neat line.
Hotel bathrooms
In a hotel, every bathroom is used and cleaned daily, so joints are finished smooth and sealed with anti-fungal sanitary silicone.
DIY versus a professional finish
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
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 does not work out, we can still put it right.

The process
All our tools and materials come with us in the van, so there’s nothing for you to buy. Once we’ve agreed what’s being done, we protect the area and start. 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 Dumbiedykes, it helps to know the floor, the door entry arrangements and the nearest parking.
- Tell us the rooms, hours and site rules, and we’ll plan the programme.
- Tell us what paperwork your site needs, and we confirm what we can supply before we start.
- Old sealant is cut out room by room and joints cleaned and treated.
- We reseal with the right product for each joint.
- Rooms are handed back in order, each with its cure time.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any parking rules near the property
- On commercial sites, let us know about site rules
- Move anything stored near the joints
How to get a quote
A good description makes for an accurate quote. Let us know the location, the problem and roughly how many joints, and add pictures by email if you can.

What affects the cost of commercial sealant
Jobs vary more than people expect. The main factors:
- Mould in or behind the old joints
- How much there is to do
- The number of rooms or windows
- How much old sealant there is and how hard it is to remove
The cost depends on the size of the job, how much old material has to come out and how easy the joints are to reach. We give a clear quote before we start, so you know where you stand.
Asking for a quote
You do not need to know the technical terms. Just tell us:
- Roughly how big the job is
- Where the job is, and your postcode
- Access, such as stairs, a lift or height
- Any previous sealing or DIY work
We do not publish a price list. Instead, your job gets its own clear quote. To arrange one, send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk.
Why act early in Dumbiedykes
Fixing rooms one complaint at a time is the slow way. A planned programme deals with every room in order, with less disruption and one clear quote. In a Scottish city tenement, failed sealant affects more than one flat: water can reach the flat below, and gaps in shared walls or fire-stopping affect the whole stair.
Instead of a standard rate, we look at what your job involves: the amount of work, the old material and the access. You will know the price before we begin.
Why Dumbiedykes clients choose us
- More than 20 years in sealant work
