Commercial & hotel sealant in Firrhill, Edinburgh
Our applicators work in Firrhill on sealant work for offices, hotels, washrooms and commercial buildings. Old sealant removed completely, joints prepared properly and every job guaranteed for a year.
- Failed joints in office kitchens and tea points
- Repeated reseals that don’t last
- Washroom sealant that looks dirty however often it’s cleaned
Keeping the joints in good condition
No joint lasts for ever, but care makes a real difference. A few tips:
- Put a squeegee in each shower
- Get split or lifting joints looked at early
- Report broken fans quickly
- Check the joints during routine room inspections
Daily cleaning with harsh chemicals shortens the life of any sealant. Ask cleaners to use mild products and soft cloths on the sealant.
A room that can’t be let or used is lost income. Small sealant faults caught early can be fixed between bookings or tenancies, before they become leaks that take the room out of use.

Leave it or put it right?
Replacing a whole washroom takes time, money and several trades. If the fittings are in good order, new sealant is often all it needs. We will tell you if we find anything that needs another trade. Wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint on the outside of a city building, and in Firrhill, damp can spread through stone and plaster before anyone sees it.
What it costs depends on the amount of work, how much old material has to come out and access to the work. You’ll have a clear quote before any work starts.

Can I do it myself?
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. Silicone does not stick to old silicone, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. Everything old must be removed first.
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and doesn’t move well, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.
The process
Every visit runs the same way: we look at the joints together, mask and protect the surrounding surfaces, do the work and clear up. It usually takes a few hours per area, with larger sites planned over several visits. For a tenement in Firrhill, work inside your flat is between us and you, while shared parts may need the factor or neighbours to agree. It helps to know which it is when you get in touch.
- We start with a site walk to agree the rooms and the timing.
- Room by room, we protect the area and remove all the old sealant.
- We clean the joints, treat any mould and let them dry.
- New sealant suited to each area is applied and tooled.
- Each room is checked and handed back with its cure time.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know if you’ve seen damp or leaks
- Mention any sign-in or site rules at work premises
- Clear the area around the work

Landlords, agents and businesses in Firrhill
We also work for businesses, from offices to washrooms and kitchens. For commercial premises, we can talk through working times when we quote.
A neglected joint can let water reach the structure, which is a bigger problem in a rented property. Keeping joints in good order is simple maintenance that we can handle for you.
What affects the cost of commercial sealant
Some jobs are bigger than they look, and some smaller. What affects the quote:
- Any working-time requirements on site
- The number of rooms or windows
- Access and height
- Whether there’s mould to deal with
Doing several joints on one visit is normally more efficient than separate visits, so it’s worth mentioning everything you’d like done. We’ll send you a clear quote for the lot.
Asking for a quote
To make quoting easier, please include:
- Where the property is
- Photos by email, if that is easy
- How we’d reach the joints
- The problem you’ve noticed
For a quote, send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk with the location and a short description of the problem. We’ll give you a clear price before any work starts.
What we cannot put right
Some problems need a builder, plumber or other trade rather than us:
- Water damage behind the tiles that needs a tiler or builder
- Extraction that isn’t working, which needs an electrician or ventilation contractor
- Leaking pipework, valves or wastes (a plumber’s job)
Not sure which it is? You can drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk and we will tell you honestly.
