Commercial Sealant in Newcraighall
Problem with your washrooms, bathrooms and kitchens in Newcraighall? We cut out the old, prepare the joints and apply the right sealant.
- Failed floor-level joints in accessible wet rooms
- Mouldy washroom sealant that staff and guests notice
- Tired sealant ahead of a health and safety audit
Can I do it myself?
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, such as a straightforward joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
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.
Commercial sealant for homes and businesses in Newcraighall
Landlords and agents with several properties can have bathrooms and kitchens resealed between tenancies. We can quote for several properties at once to keep things simple. We work on welfare facilities, rental portfolios and student & care accommodation, and the jobs we see most are failed joints in office kitchens and tea points and shower leaks reaching the floor below.
In Scotland’s cities, hotels and student accommodation need sealant work done without emptying the building, so work in Newcraighall can be planned room by room, and out of hours where needed.
Each job carries a 12-month guarantee, large or small.

Aftercare tips
A little care helps the new joints last. Our advice:
- Pass on the cure time to whoever cleans the rooms
- Keep strong chemicals and scourers off the joints
- Put a squeegee in each shower
- Include the silicone on your room checklists
Each room is handed back with its cure time, generally around 24 hours. Pass it on to housekeeping or cleaners so nobody showers or cleans the joint too early.
Water from a failed shower seal can travel: into ceilings below, walls next door and service voids. Dealing with the joint early stops that spread.
What we’re called out for in Newcraighall
Quick fixes come back quickly. New silicone over old, joints that weren’t dried, or an unsuitable product all lead to the same thing: another reseal before long.
Keep an eye out for these signs:
- Water marks on ceilings under bathrooms
- Joints that need doing before an inspection or audit
- Black, stained silicone in guest bathrooms
- Too many rooms to reseal without closing the building
Managing a site like Portobello High School? Then washroom and kitchen sealant can be programmed around term times or opening hours.

What we do, step by step
We work through the job in order: protect, prepare, seal, tidy. Typically it takes a few hours for a single washroom, longer for a whole building. Many homes in Scotland’s cities are tenement flats, reached through a shared close and up a common stair. In Newcraighall, it helps to know the floor, the door entry arrangements and the nearest parking.
- We start with a site walk to agree the rooms and the timing.
- Each area is protected and the old sealant cut out completely.
- We clean the joints, treat any mould and let them dry.
- We lay the right sealant for each area, with anti-fungal silicone in wet rooms.
- Each room is checked and handed back with its cure time.
Getting ready for the visit
- Keep children and pets away from the work area
- Mention any parking rules near the property
- Let us know about stairs, lifts or work at height

Questions from Newcraighall
Do you work for landlords with property near Newcraighall station?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for. Just drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk with the address and what needs doing, and we’ll give you a clear price.
Can you do commercial sealant in Newcraighall?
Yes. We work across all of Scotland, and Newcraighall is part of that. Just email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk with a few details of the job, and we will give you a clear price.
Can you take on a whole building?
Yes. Our team has more than 20 years’ experience, and large programmes are planned around how the building is used.
How long will you be here?
A typical job takes a few hours per room, so whole buildings are phased, including the preparation. We will confirm how long when we quote.
Do you take out the old sealant first?
Yes, every time. New silicone doesn’t stick to old silicone, so the joint is cleaned back first.
Is it messy?
Not at all. The area is protected while we work and cleaned up afterwards.
What should I tell you?
A short description and the location, plus photos if you have them. We’ll ask anything else we need to know.
Can you seal over the old sealant?
No, and we never do. It can look neat for a few weeks, but the new layer lifts away from the old one. Removing the old sealant completely is the only lasting way.
