About our commercial sealant in Merkinch
For a rental portfolio, resealing between tenants keeps bathrooms and kitchens presentable. Several addresses can go on one quote. We work on student & care accommodation, office washrooms & kitchens and hotel bathrooms, and the jobs we see most are tired sealant ahead of a health and safety audit and too many rooms to reseal without closing the building.
Commercial work around smaller Scottish places tends to mean hotels, guest houses, schools and halls rather than offices. Each needs sound sealant in its washrooms and kitchens, and fire-rated joints kept in good order.
Every job is covered by a 12-month guarantee.

Commercial sealant in Merkinch: local notes
If you run a hotel, guest house or holiday let in a coastal place like Merkinch, 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, so landlords with several properties often need sealant work across them all.
If you look after a building such as Inverness High School, busy washrooms and kitchens can be resealed in phases so they stay open. For landlords with property near Inverness station, sealant work can be quoted for a single flat or a whole portfolio.

What happens on the day
Most of a good job is in the preparation, and we don’t rush it. Every joint is cleaned and dried before new material goes in. All told, the work takes a few hours per area, with larger sites planned over several visits. Around Merkinch, distance and access matter more than parking. Let us know how to find you and how to reach the joints.
- The first visit is a look round the site to agree the scope.
- Working hours are agreed, including early starts or out-of-hours work where it can be arranged.
- Areas are protected and the failed sealant removed.
- Once dry, every joint is resealed and tooled.
- We let your team know the cure time for every area.
How to prepare
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before
- Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed
How to get a quote
It all starts with a short chat. Tell us what’s wrong, where it is and how much there is, and we will talk you through what we’d do. When it suits you, drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk.
Advice
Aftercare tips
Good habits help new joints last longer. Our tips:
- Keep a record of which rooms were resealed and when
- Ask cleaners to go gently on the silicone
- Book larger programmes for quieter times of year
- Encourage users to squeegee shower walls
Ask staff to report splits or lifting sealant early. A small gap caught quickly is a short fix, and if anything looks wrong, just send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk.
Watch for the warning signs: mould, splits, peeling corners or water marks downstairs. Any of these means the joints need attention.
What we’re called out for in Merkinch
Shower trays and baths in busy buildings move more: people of all sizes, daily cleaning and constant loading. A tray that isn’t fully supported soon tears its seal.
Look out for any of the following:
- Silicone laid over old silicone by a previous contractor
- Leaks from showers into rooms or ceilings below
- Failed joints in office kitchens and tea points
- Joints that need doing before an inspection or audit
For buildings such as St Michael & All Angels, halls and community kitchens see heavy use, and their sealant shows it.
Questions to ask before booking
- Whether all the old sealant comes out first
- How much experience the applicator has
- What the quote includes, VAT included or not
- When the joint can take water or movement
Merkinch: your questions answered
Do you work for hotels and guest houses in Merkinch?
Yes, we work for hotels as well as homes and businesses. A room-by-room programme keeps most rooms in use while the work goes on.
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Inverness station?
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.
Can you seal over the old sealant?
No. New silicone will not bond to old silicone, and it traps any mould or water underneath. We remove it all first.
Can you send RAMS and insurance details for our site?
We are fully insured, and we will go through your site’s requirements with you. We’ll confirm what we can supply when we quote.
Do you work in Merkinch?
Yes, we do. Merkinch is part of the area we cover, and the service is the same as everywhere else.
How long do rooms need to be out of use?
Around 24 hours is typical for sanitary silicone. We tell your team the cure time for every area.
What sealant do you use?
Products from Arbo and Everbuild, among others, chosen to suit the joint. We explain the product when we quote.
Can you match the sealant colour?
We help you choose a colour that suits. The product needed can limit the range.
What happens if it’s left?
First impressions are often made in the washroom. Black sealant makes a clean room look dirty, and scrubbing will not fix it. Replacing it does. In an older home around Merkinch, damp from a failed joint can get into timber and plaster.
What it costs depends on the size of the job, how much old material has to come out and how easy the joints are to reach. We give a clear quote before any work starts.
What you get with us
- Homes, businesses and hotels
- We never seal over old sealant
- We’re fully insured
- Sanitary silicone with an anti-fungal additive in wet areas
Should I try it myself first?
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, such as a straightforward joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is.
What the job involves on each surface
Welfare facilities
Welfare facilities, shower rooms and changing areas need to stay usable. Work can be split into sections.
Hotel bathrooms
In a hotel, every bathroom is used and cleaned daily, so joints are finished smooth and sealed with anti-fungal sanitary silicone.
