About our commercial sealant in Hermiston
In student and care accommodation, there are often many near-identical bathrooms. A room-by-room programme keeps the job organised, working around residents and staff routines. Typical jobs include joints that need doing before an inspection or audit and silicone laid over old silicone by a previous contractor, across rental portfolios, welfare facilities and student & care accommodation.
If you look after holiday lets, a guest house or a community building in or near Hermiston, the washrooms and kitchens need the same care as any city building, and fire-rated joints should be kept in good order.
Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee.

Surface by surface
Hotel bathrooms
Guest bathrooms are resealed room by room or in batches, so most rooms stay available. Housekeeping get a cure time for each room.
Retail & leisure sites
Changing areas and showers at leisure sites are wet all day, so joints are sealed with anti-fungal sanitary silicone.
What we do, step by step
Once we’re on site, we compare the joints with what we discussed. If anything is different, we explain it before carrying on. After that, the work takes a few hours per room, so whole buildings are phased. Around Hermiston, distance and access matter more than parking. Tell us how to find the property and how to reach the work.
- First we visit and agree the scope, the sequence and the working hours.
- Every area is sheeted and the old silicone stripped out.
- 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.
Preparing for the visit
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive
- Clear the area around the work
- Keep children and pets away from the work area

Common problems we fix in Hermiston
Internal washrooms and en suites without a window rely entirely on extraction, and where extraction is poor, damp hangs around. Mould then takes hold in the silicone.
It’s worth asking for a quote if you see:
- Mouldy bathrooms flagged at a tenancy check
- Black, stained silicone in guest bathrooms
- Tired sealant ahead of a health and safety audit
- Too many rooms to reseal without closing the building
In and around Hermiston, as anywhere, good commercial sealant starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint.
Before booking anyone
- What happens if the job turns out different
- The length of the guarantee
- What product goes in the joint
- How the joint is cleaned and prepared
Looking after it afterwards
A little care helps the new joints last. We recommend:
- Leave squeegees in busy showers
- Note the date each area was done
- Check extract fans are actually running
- Do not leave a failed joint until the next refurbishment
Squeegees in guest and staff showers 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.
DIY versus a professional finish
If you’re set on DIY, put the effort into preparation: remove every trace of old sealant, clean and dry the joint, and follow the product’s cure time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still put it right.
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. New silicone won’t bond to old, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. Everything old must be removed first.
What sealant work cannot fix
To be straight with you, some problems need a different trade:
- Assessing what fire stopping a building needs
- Tiles coming off the wall
- Water coming from plumbing rather than sealant
If you’re not sure, just send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.

Your questions about commercial sealant in Hermiston
I let a flat near Edinburgh Park station. Can you help?
Yes. We work for letting agents and landlords as well as householders, and several properties can be quoted together. Just drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk with the address and what needs doing, and we will send you a clear quote.
Do you cover smaller places like Hermiston?
Yes, Hermiston is covered. Our work covers the whole of Scotland, and smaller places are part of that. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
Can you start early or work out of hours?
Out-of-hours work and early starts can be arranged. Tell us what you need when you ask for a quote.
Will it make a mess?
No. We work neatly, protect the area around the joints and tidy up afterwards.
Will the old sealant be removed?
Yes. All of the old material is cut out and the joint cleaned.
Do you provide RAMS?
Let us know which documents your site needs, such as method statements, risk assessments or insurance details, and we will confirm what we can provide when we quote.
What sealant do you use?
Quality sealants from brands including Arbo and Everbuild, chosen to suit the joint. We explain the product when we quote.
Can you seal over the old sealant?
No, and we never do. It can look neat for a few weeks, but the new bead soon lifts. Removing the old sealant completely is the only lasting way.
For landlords and businesses
Whether it’s one flat or a portfolio, the work is the same standard: old sealant fully removed, joints prepared properly and a one-year guarantee.
We also work for property managers and facilities teams in Hermiston and across Edinburgh. Several sites can go on one quote, and we’re fully insured for the work.
