Questions from Forres
Do you work for hotels and guest houses in Forres?
Yes, hospitality work, including hotels, is part of what we do. Jobs can be programmed room by room, with out-of-hours working possible to arrange.
Do you cover Forres for commercial sealant?
Yes. We work across all of Scotland, and Forres is part of that. You can send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk and let us know what needs doing, and we’ll give you a clear price.
How long does the job take?
It depends on the size of the job, but as a guide it takes a few hours for a single washroom, longer for a whole building. We will tell you when we quote.
What do you put in the joint?
It depends on the joint: sanitary silicone where it gets wet, and sealants suited to movement or weather elsewhere. Brands we use include Arbo and Everbuild.
Where do you work from?
Our base is in Crawley, West Sussex, and we cover South East England, London and all of Scotland.
Can you start early or work out of hours?
Out-of-hours work and early starts can be arranged. Let us know your hours when you get in touch.
Can you seal over the old sealant?
No. Fresh sealant does not stick to old sealant, and it traps any mould or water underneath. It all has to come out first.
Do you take out the old sealant first?
Yes. All of the old material is cut out and the joint cleaned.
How we handle commercial sealant in Forres
In showers and washrooms we use anti-fungal sanitary silicone, with a food-safe sealant by kitchen sinks where needed. Products include Arbo and Everbuild sealants, chosen to suit each joint. We work on retail & leisure sites, welfare facilities and office washrooms & kitchens, and the jobs we see most are sealant failing again soon after quick repairs and large numbers of bathrooms needing the same work.
Building work in Scotland comes under its own regulations and technical handbooks, and fire-rated sealant has to go in to the manufacturer’s tested details. For any building in Forres, that applies just the same.
Every job comes with a one-year guarantee.

Advice
Commercial sealant in Forres: local notes
If you run a hotel, guest house or holiday let in a coastal place like Forres, 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, so landlords with several properties often need sealant work across them all.
For landlords with property near Forres station, we can quote for one property or a whole portfolio of rentals. Community buildings like Castlehill Church are part of the picture too: any kitchen and washrooms need the same sealant care as any other building. Managing a site like Andersons Primary School? Then sealant in washrooms, kitchens and changing areas can be renewed around term times or opening hours.

How to look after the new joints
How long the joints last depends on use and care. We suggest:
- Ask cleaners to go gently on the silicone
- Act on lifting sealant before it leaks
- Include the silicone on your room checklists
- Put a squeegee in each shower
A squeegee in each shower is a simple help: less water sits on the joints between uses.
Signs to look for: mould, splits, peeling corners or water marks downstairs. Any of these means the joints need attention.
Different surfaces, different methods
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.
Office washrooms & kitchens
Kitchen and tea point joints are degreased and resealed, using a food-safe sealant by sinks where it’s needed.
Can I do it myself?
Some jobs are best left to a professional: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs need the right product, the right access and the right method.
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. New silicone won’t bond to old, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. All the old material has to come out first.
What sealant work cannot fix
A few problems are outside what sealant work can do:
- Failed tanking or loose tiles behind the sealant
- Faulty shower valves and leaking traps
- Damaged sanitaryware that needs replacing
Not sure which it is? You can send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

What happens if it’s left?
In a building with rooms above rooms, a failed shower seal can soon show on a ceiling below. Then two rooms are out of action, not one. Resealing first is the smaller job. For landlords in Forres, damp and leaks can fall under the Repairing Standard. Replacing failed sealant early is simpler than dealing with a complaint.
Doing several joints on one visit is generally more efficient than separate visits, so tell us about everything that needs sealing. You will get one clear quote for the whole job.
