Commercial sealant in Holyrood, done properly
In showers and washrooms we use anti-fungal sanitary silicone, with a food-safe sealant by kitchen sinks where needed. We use sealants from Arbo and Everbuild, chosen to suit each joint. If you have sealant failing again soon after quick repairs and washroom sealant that looks dirty however often it’s cleaned, we can put it right, whatever the surface.
In a Scottish city, commercial sealant work covers offices, hotels, student accommodation, care homes and factored tenement blocks. For a building in Holyrood, the job might be washroom resealing or fire-rated sealant around service openings.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything isn’t right with it, email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk.

Holyrood: your questions answered
Do you work for landlords with property near Edinburgh Waverley station?
Yes. We work for landlords and agents as well as householders. You can drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk with the details for a clear quote.
Do you take on hotel work around Holyrood?
Yes. Hotel and guest-house work is part of what we do. Jobs can be programmed room by room, with out-of-hours working possible to arrange.
Can you quote for more than one area?
Yes, we can. Several rooms, windows or areas can go on one quote.
Do you provide RAMS?
Let us know your site’s requirements. We will confirm what we can supply before work is booked.
Can you start early or work out of hours?
It can be arranged for many jobs. The hours are agreed before work starts.
Will the old sealant be removed?
Yes. All of the old material is cut out and the joint cleaned.
Are you an approved applicator?
Yes. We’re an ARBOMaster approved applicator, which is run for the Arbo sealant brand.
Is it OK to seal over 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.

The process
The work is kept neat and contained to the joints we are treating. Expect the work to take a few hours per room, so whole buildings are phased. Inside a flat in Holyrood, the job is planned with you; outside, shared parts may need the factor or other owners involved. Tell us which applies when you book.
- First we visit and agree the scope, the sequence and the working hours.
- Every area is sheeted and the old silicone stripped out.
- The joints are degreased, treated and left to dry.
- Anti-fungal sanitary silicone goes into wet areas, with suitable sealants elsewhere.
- Rooms are checked and returned with a cure time so staff know when to use them.

Honest limits
We will always be straight with you, so here’s what sealant can’t fix:
- Failed tanking or loose tiles behind the sealant
- Leaking pipework, valves or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- Damaged sanitaryware that needs replacing
If in doubt, drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk and we’ll say what we think before booking.
Joints and surfaces we work on
- Rental portfolios
- Welfare facilities
- Student & care accommodation
- Office washrooms & kitchens
- Hotel bathrooms
- Retail & leisure sites
Different surfaces, different methods
Rental portfolios
A sound seal protects the property as well as its appearance, especially where you rarely see the bathroom yourself.
Student & care accommodation
Empty rooms between terms or tenancies are easy to reseal, but occupied rooms can be planned in as well.
DIY versus a professional finish
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is, and the work is guaranteed for a year.
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and doesn’t move well, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.
Common problems we fix in Holyrood
A rushed reseal between guests rarely lasts. New silicone over old, joints that weren’t dried, or an unsuitable product all lead to the same thing: another reseal before long.
Most people get in touch when they notice one of these:
- Failed joints in office kitchens and tea points
- Joints that need doing before an inspection or audit
- Large numbers of bathrooms needing the same work
- Mouldy bathrooms flagged at a tenancy check
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Old Royal High School, washroom and kitchen sealant can be programmed around term times or opening hours.

Commercial sealant in Holyrood: local notes
For seaside hotels, guest houses and holiday lets around Holyrood, busy months put washrooms and kitchens under pressure, so it’s worth checking the sealant before the busiest weeks. Private landlords in Scotland must meet the Repairing Standard, and keeping sealant sound across a portfolio is part of that.
If you let a flat or house near Edinburgh Waverley station, we can quote for one property or a whole portfolio of rentals. If you look after a church, hall or community building such as St Cuthbert's Church, halls and community kitchens see heavy use, and their sealant shows it.

What happens if it’s left?
First impressions are often made in the washroom. Black sealant makes a clean room look dirty, and cleaning rarely puts it right. Replacing it does. In a tenement flat in Holyrood, a failed seal is rarely just your problem: a leak can come through the ceiling below, and gaps in shared walls or fire-rated joints matter to every flat.
The cost reflects the work involved, not guesswork. That is why we ask a few questions first and give you a clear price before work begins.
