How it works
Most of a good job is in the preparation, and we do not rush it. Every joint is cleaned and dried before new material goes in. All told, the work takes a few hours per area, with larger sites planned over several visits. For a place like Garvald, longer drives are planned in advance. Mention tracks, gates, ferries or anything else about the route.
- We start by looking at the rooms and agreeing what’s needed.
- We agree when we’ll work, with early or out-of-hours slots where they can be arranged.
- Each area is protected and stripped of old sealant.
- Once dry, every joint is resealed and tooled.
- Housekeeping or site staff are told when each area can be used.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints
- For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can
- Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work

What else we do in Garvald
Garvald: your questions answered
Will you come out to Garvald?
Yes. Garvald is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. Our work covers the whole of Scotland. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
I let a flat near East Linton station. Can you help?
Yes. We work for landlords and letting agents as well as homeowners, and several properties can go on one quote. Just send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk with the address and what needs doing, and we’ll give you a clear quote.
Can you reseal every bathroom in a hotel?
Yes. With more than 20 years’ experience and over 2,847 projects behind us, we plan big jobs so the building keeps running.
Can you reseal hotel rooms while we stay open?
Yes. The order and timing are agreed with your team, and each room is handed back with a cure time.
Do you guarantee commercial jobs?
Yes. We are fully insured, ARBOMaster approved and give a one-year guarantee on every job.
Are you ARBOMaster approved?
Yes. We’re approved under the ARBOMaster scheme, the approved applicator scheme for Arbo sealants.
Do you take out the old sealant first?
Yes, always, and completely. New silicone doesn’t stick to old silicone, so any old material comes out before anything new goes in.
How do I get a quote for commercial sealant in Garvald?
It depends on the job, so we quote each one individually. For a quick quote, drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk with a short description of the job.
How to look after the new joints
No joint lasts for ever, but care makes a real difference. Our tips:
- Don’t leave a failed joint until the next refurbishment
- Tell cleaning staff when each room can be used
- Book larger programmes for quieter times of year
- Check extract fans are actually running
Extract fans need to work. In internal bathrooms, a weak or broken fan lets moisture linger, and mould comes back faster without it.
Black sealant in a staff washroom or guest bathroom draws complaints. The longer it’s left, the deeper it grows into the silicone, so the fix is replacement.
Signs you need commercial sealant in Garvald
Commercial bathrooms get far more use than domestic ones, and they’re cleaned with strong products every day. That is why sealant fails sooner.
These are the problems we’re asked about most:
- Washrooms that need sorting before an inspection
- Large numbers of bathrooms needing the same work
- Split sealant around staff kitchen worktops and sinks
- Shower leaks reaching the floor below

Questions to ask before you book
- Is the old sealant removed completely?
- How much experience the applicator has
- Is VAT in the price?
- How the colour is chosen
DIY versus a professional finish
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. All the old material has to come out first.
Not every job suits DIY: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas need the right product, the right access and the right method.
Workplaces and buildings in Garvald
Private landlords in Scotland must meet the Repairing Standard, and keeping sealant sound across a portfolio is part of that.
