Can I do it myself?

What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions.

Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. Silicone does not stick to old silicone, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. Everything old must be removed first.

When it isn’t the sealant

In fairness, some problems need a different trade:

  • Damaged sanitaryware that needs replacing
  • Faulty shower valves and leaking traps
  • Failed tanking or loose tiles behind the sealant

Not sure which it is? You can email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk and we will tell you honestly.

How we quote for commercial sealant

There’s no set price list. The quote depends on:

  • How much there is to do
  • Whether the work is at height
  • The type of sealant required
  • When we can work, for business premises

What it costs depends on how much there is to do, how much old material has to come out and access to the work. You will have a clear quote before any work starts.

Asking for a quote

To make quoting easier, let us know:

  • What the problem is, such as mould, gaps, leaks or cracking
  • How many joints, rooms or windows are involved
  • If it’s domestic, commercial or a hotel
  • A few photos by email, if you can

To get a quote, drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk and tell us where the job is and what the problem looks like. You will have a clear quote before work begins.

What happens on the day

All our tools and materials come with us in the van, so you don’t need to buy or prepare anything. After a quick look at the joints together, we protect the area and start. It normally takes a few hours per area, with larger sites planned over several visits. Inside a flat in Meadowbank, the job is planned with you; outside, shared parts may need the factor or other owners involved. It helps to know which it is when you get in touch.

  1. First we visit and agree the scope, the sequence and the working hours.
  2. Every area is sheeted and the old silicone stripped out.
  3. We clean the joints, treat any mould and let them dry.
  4. New sealant suited to each area is applied and tooled.
  5. Rooms are checked and returned with a cure time so staff know when to use them.

Preparing for the visit

  • Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit
  • Tell us about any water getting in
  • Mention if the joints have been sealed before

How to get a quote

We quote each job on its own, so start by telling us what you need. Simply send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk and describe the job.

Advice

Looking after it afterwards

To keep the joints looking good and working properly:

  • Tell cleaning staff when each room can be used
  • Act on lifting sealant before it leaks
  • Report broken fans quickly
  • Ask cleaners to go gently on the silicone

Keep the extraction running and maintained. In internal bathrooms, a weak or broken fan lets moisture linger, and that’s what keeps mould away.

Signs to look for: mould, splits, peeling corners or water marks downstairs. When you see them, it’s time to plan a reseal.

When to call us in Meadowbank

Larger buildings move, and lightweight partitions flex more than masonry. The sealant between walls, trays and fittings absorbs that strain and eventually tear.

The most common problems we see are:

  • Repeated reseals that do not last
  • Black, stained silicone in guest bathrooms
  • Shower leaks reaching the floor below
  • Rental bathrooms that need resealing between tenants

Managing a site like Mannafields Christian School? Then sealant in washrooms, kitchens and changing areas can be renewed around term times or opening hours.

What to look for in a quote

  • Are they insured?
  • What happens if the job turns out different
  • Is the old sealant removed completely?
  • Whether VAT is included
