Common questions in Heriot
Is commercial sealant in Heriot guaranteed?
Every job comes with our one-year guarantee, wherever it is. We are also fully insured and ARBOMaster approved.
Do you cover smaller places like Heriot?
Yes. Heriot is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. We work across all of Scotland. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Should I try DIY first?
Sometimes. Preparation is everything: all the old sealant out, and a clean, dry joint. We can always put it right if it fails.
Is out-of-hours working possible?
It can be arranged. The hours are agreed before work starts.
Can you take on a whole building?
Yes. We work through big sites room by room or floor by floor, so only part of the building is affected at once.
Are you ARBOMaster approved?
Yes. ARBOMaster is the approved applicator scheme for Arbo sealants, and we’re part of it.
How long will you be here?
Most jobs take a morning for a small washroom, and a planned programme for bigger sites, including the preparation. Your quote will say how long we expect yours to take.
How much does commercial sealant cost in Heriot?
The cost depends on the size of the job, access and how much old sealant has to come out. Call for a quick quote and we’ll talk you through it.

Do you need commercial sealant in Heriot?
Internal washrooms and en suites without a window rely entirely on extraction, so if the fan is weak, steam lingers and the sealant stays damp. That’s when black mould sets into the bead.
These are the problems we’re asked about most:
- Mouldy bathrooms flagged at a tenancy check
- Silicone laid over old silicone by a previous contractor
- Tired sealant ahead of a health and safety audit
- Worktop sealant that has shrunk and stained
In and around Heriot, as anywhere, good commercial sealant starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint.
What your quote should include
- How much experience the applicator has
- Is the old sealant removed completely?
- What the cure time is
- How hidden problems are handled
DIY versus a professional finish
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, such as a straightforward joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that’s fine. We cut it out and start again.

What happens on the day
There is not much for you to do on the day. Point us to the joints and we will get on with it. The work itself takes a few hours per area, with larger sites planned over several visits, including the tidy-up. Outside jobs in Heriot need a dry day, because sealant will not bond to a wet joint, so an outdoor job can move if the forecast changes. Work indoors is not affected.
- We agree a programme with you: which rooms, in what order, at what times.
- We go through your site’s paperwork needs, such as RAMS, before work begins.
- In each room, the old bead comes out and the joint is cleaned and treated.
- We reseal with the right product for each joint.
- Rooms are handed back in order, each with its cure time.
Getting ready for the visit
- Keep children and pets away from the work area
- Let us know about stairs, lifts or work at height

Related advice
For landlords and businesses
We work for landlords and agents as well as householders. Resealing between tenancies is a simple way to keep a property in good order.
In hotels, rooms out of use cost money, so the work can be planned room by room. Hotel work is part of what we do, alongside homes and businesses.
How the job changes by surface
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.
Welfare facilities
Busy staff showers wear sealant out quickly. We reseal with anti-fungal sanitary silicone, including accessible wet rooms.
How we quote for commercial sealant
We quote each job individually. These are the things that affect it:
- Whether there’s mould to deal with
- The number of rooms or windows
- The amount of work
- Access and height
Doing several joints on one visit normally makes better use of the time than several visits. We will give you a clear price for the lot.
Asking for a quote
You do not need to know the technical terms. Just tell us:
- The address or postcode of the job
- How we’d reach the joints
- Whether it has been sealed before
- The type of property
Quotes start with a quick conversation. Describe the problem, the location and the size of the job. When it suits you, email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk.
Looking after it afterwards
No joint lasts for ever, but care makes a real difference. Our tips:
- Keep a record of which rooms were resealed and when
- Encourage users to squeegee shower walls
- Give housekeeping the cure time for every room
- Book larger programmes for quieter times of year
Daily cleaning with harsh chemicals shortens the life of any sealant. Ask cleaners to use mild products and soft cloths on the sealant, with stronger products kept off the bead.
Mould in shared washrooms gets noticed and talked about. Left long enough, it spreads through the bead, and only replacement fixes it.
