When to call us in Lauriston
Shower trays and baths in busy buildings move more: people of all sizes, daily cleaning and constant loading all work at the joint. A tray that is not fully supported soon tears its seal.
Keep an eye out for these signs:
- Leaking joints in shower rooms and changing areas
- Black, stained silicone in guest bathrooms
- Failed joints in office kitchens and tea points
- Silicone laid over old silicone by a previous contractor
For buildings such as Lauriston Church, halls and community kitchens see heavy use, and their sealant shows it.

About our commercial sealant in Lauriston
In a hotel, office or washroom, failed sealant is more than an eyesore. It’s a cleaning problem, a leak risk and something guests and staff notice. We reseal bathrooms, washrooms, welfare areas and kitchens so they look cared for again. We work on student & care accommodation, rental portfolios and welfare facilities, and the jobs we see most are split sealant where wet room floors meet walls and water marks on ceilings under bathrooms.
In Scotland, building work comes under the Building (Scotland) Regulations and their technical handbooks. In Lauriston, as anywhere, fire-rated sealant goes in to the product’s tested details and washroom sealant is chosen to cope with heavy use.
Our work is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you are.

How to look after the new joints
To keep the joints looking good and working properly:
- Check the joints during routine room inspections
- Do not leave a failed joint until the next refurbishment
- Tell cleaning staff when each room can be used
- Note the date each area was done
Squeegees in guest and staff showers help: less water sits on the joints between uses.
Mould in shared washrooms gets noticed and talked about. Left long enough, it spreads through the bead, and only replacement fixes it.
Quotes for commercial sealant in Lauriston
Some jobs are bigger than they look, and some smaller. The main factors:
- How many areas need sealing
- Working hours on commercial sites
- The number and length of the joints
- The type of sealant required
A failed joint rarely gets cheaper to fix by waiting, because water and mould keep working on it. If you’re not sure whether it needs doing, email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk and we’ll give you an honest view and a quote.
What to tell us for a quote
You don’t need to know the technical terms. Just tell us:
- A few photos by email, if you can
- Access, such as stairs, a lift or height
- Where the job is, and your postcode
- Roughly how big the job is
Asking for a quote is easy: let us know the job and the location. Photos by email help us understand the job, and we will take it from there.
What we do, step by step
A visit follows a simple pattern: we check the joints, protect the area around them, do the work and tidy away. It usually takes a morning for a small washroom, and a planned programme for bigger sites. For a tenement in Lauriston, work inside your flat is between us and you, while shared parts may need the factor or neighbours to agree. Tell us which applies when you book.
- Tell us the rooms, hours and site rules, and we’ll plan the programme.
- We go through your site’s paperwork needs, such as RAMS, before work begins.
- Old sealant is cut out room by room and joints cleaned and treated.
- Anti-fungal sanitary silicone goes into wet areas, with suitable sealant elsewhere.
- Each finished area is checked with you and given a cure time.
Preparing for the visit
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit
- Let us know if you’ve seen damp or leaks
- Let us know about stairs, lifts or work at height

Water getting past a failed joint can damage the building, which is a bigger problem in a rented property. Resealing at the right time is simple maintenance that we can handle for you.
Can I do it myself?
If you do try it yourself, take your time over the preparation: take out all the old sealant, make sure the joint is clean and dry, and give it the full cure time. If it does not work out, we can still put it right.
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.
