Commercial sealant in Gorseness
In a hotel, office or washroom, failed sealant is more than an eyesore. Cleaners struggle with it, water gets through it and people notice it. Our applicators renew sealant across washrooms, welfare areas, kitchens and guest bathrooms. We work on welfare facilities, retail & leisure sites and student & care accommodation, and people most often call us about rental bathrooms that need resealing between tenants and washrooms that need sorting before an inspection.
For holiday lets, guest houses and community buildings in or near Gorseness, the washrooms and kitchens need the same care as any city building, and fire-rated joints should be kept in good order.
Every job is covered by a 12-month guarantee, wherever you are in the Orkney Islands.

What affects the cost of commercial sealant
Jobs vary more than people expect. The main factors:
- Whether the work is at height
- Which sealant suits the joint
- Whether there’s mould to deal with
- Working hours on commercial sites
A few things move the cost up or down: the old material and how easily it comes out, any mould to treat, and whether we need extra access for height. We take all of that into account in your quote.
What we need to know
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote. When you ask for a quote, tell us:
- Pictures of the joints, sent by email
- Where the property is
- How many joints, rooms or windows are involved
- How we’d reach the joints
Every job is quoted individually. Simply email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk and describe the job and send pictures if you have them.
Why it’s worth doing now in Gorseness
Sealing over the old bead can seem the fastest option, but it won’t bond, and it lifts again soon. Doing it properly once is less disruptive than doing it badly twice. Around Gorseness, water from a failed joint in an older stone home can soak into timber and plaster, which is a far bigger job than the sealant.
Instead of a standard rate, we price the job in front of us: how many joints, what’s in them now and how we reach them. You will know the price before we begin.
Why us?
- Experience in homes, commercial sites and hotels
- White, clear, grey or another colour, product permitting
- A sealant colour to suit the surroundings
- Fully insured

Signs you need commercial sealant in Gorseness
A rushed reseal between guests rarely lasts. New silicone over old, joints that weren’t dried, or an unsuitable product means the joint fails again soon.
Any of these means the joints need attention:
- Too many rooms to reseal without closing the building
- Split sealant around staff kitchen worktops and sinks
- Mouldy washroom sealant that staff and guests notice
- Repeated reseals that don’t last
Community buildings like North Hackland Church are part of the picture too: halls and community kitchens see heavy use, and their sealant shows it.

Work for landlords, hotels and businesses
A neglected joint can let water reach the structure, which is a bigger problem in a rented property. Resealing at the right time is simple maintenance.
Letting agents often deal with us directly. Tell us the address, the job and how access works and we’ll quote.
Keeping the joints in good condition
So the new joints stay in good condition:
- Do not leave a failed joint until the next refurbishment
- Note the date each area was done
- Keep extractor fans working and serviced
- Add sealant to your planned maintenance checks
We give a cure time for every area we finish, which is usually around 24 hours. Pass it on to housekeeping or cleaners so the new sealant isn’t wetted or scrubbed too soon.
A room that can’t be let or used is lost income. Catching faults early means they can be put right in a short window, before they become leaks that take the room out of use.
Honest limits
Sealant is not the answer to every problem, and we’d rather say so up front. Sealant will not put right:
- Damaged sanitaryware that needs replacing
- Faulty shower valves and leaking traps
- Tiles coming off the wall
If you’re not sure, just send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk and we will give you a straight answer.
What we seal

When can guests or staff use the shower again?

Is it worth trying it myself?

Yes, in most cases. Each visit covers an agreed batch of rooms.
Can you reseal bathrooms across several rental properties?
Yes. For several properties, we can plan the work as one programme.
Is there any odour?
Possibly a little. It fades as the sealant cures, and ventilation helps.
Can I choose the sealant colour?
Most of the time, yes. We will tell you which colours the right product comes in.
How it works
A visit follows a simple pattern: we look at the joints together, mask and protect the surrounding surfaces, carry out the job and clear up. It normally takes a few hours for a single washroom, longer for a whole building. For a place like Gorseness, longer drives are planned in advance. Tell us about tracks, gates, a ferry crossing or anything unusual about getting there.
- We walk the site with you and agree the rooms, the order and the hours.
- Room by room, we protect the area and remove all the old sealant.
- Joints are cleaned, treated for mould and dried.
- We lay the right sealant for each area, with anti-fungal silicone in wet rooms.
- Each room is checked and handed back with its cure time.
Getting ready for the visit
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Tell us about any previous sealing or DIY attempts
- Tell us if parking is tricky
