Commercial sealant in Newington, done properly

Hotels, serviced apartments and student accommodation in Scotland’s cities need their bathrooms kept in order between guests, so work in Newington can be planned room by room, and out of hours where needed.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you’re not left on your own once the job is done.

Looking after it afterwards
After the cure time, these simple habits help:
- Check the joints during routine room inspections
- Leave squeegees in busy showers
- Keep extractor fans working and serviced
- Pass on the cure time to whoever cleans the rooms
Extract fans need to work. In internal bathrooms, a weak or broken fan lets moisture linger, and that is what keeps mould away.
Watch for the warning signs: black spots in the silicone, corners lifting, staining on the ceiling below or a musty smell. When you see them, it’s time to plan a reseal.
Quotes for commercial sealant in Newington
We do not publish a price list. What we look at:
- The size of the job
- How much old sealant there is and how hard it is to remove
- Mould in or behind the old joints
- The product the joint needs
Instead of a standard rate, we price the job in front of us: the amount of work, the old material and the access. You will know the price before we begin.

A few details help us give you an accurate quote. When you ask for a quote, tell us:

- The type of property
- What’s wrong with the joints now
Asking for a quote is easy: let us know the job and the location and its rough size. A few photos by email make the job easier to understand, and we’ll take it from there.
Newington: your questions answered
Can you do commercial sealant in Newington?
Yes, Newington is within the area we cover. We work across all of Scotland. Just email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk with a few details of the job.
Do you work in hotels near Newington?
Yes, we work for hotels as well as homes and businesses. Rooms can be done a few at a time, so the building stays open.
Where are you based?
Mr Mastic is based in Crawley. We cover Newington and the rest of Edinburgh.
Are you ARBOMaster approved?
Yes. We hold ARBOMaster approved applicator status, and we’re fully insured.
Is there any odour?
There can be a smell while the sealant cures, but it fades. Ventilation helps.
Do I need to be at home?
Access is agreed with you when the job is booked. For inside work, that normally means someone being in.
Do you guarantee your work?
Yes. Each job is guaranteed for twelve months, large or small.
Do you take out the old sealant first?
Yes, always, and completely. New silicone does not stick to old silicone, so the joint is cleaned back first.
The process
The work is kept neat and contained to the joints we are treating, so you can get on with your day. Expect the work to take a few hours per room, so whole buildings are phased, and we tell you how long to leave it before we go. In a Scottish city, a lot of jobs are in tenement flats, up a common stair from a shared close. For a job in Newington, tell us the floor, how the door entry system works and where we can park nearby.
- Tell us the rooms, hours and site rules, and we’ll plan the programme.
- Tell us what paperwork your site needs, and we confirm what we can supply before any work starts.
- In each room, the old bead comes out and the joint is cleaned and treated.
- We reseal with the right product for each joint.
- Rooms are handed back in order, each with its cure time.
Before we arrive
- Tell us if parking is tricky
- Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit

Should I try it myself first?
A DIY attempt doesn’t rule out a professional job. We cut it out and start again.
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. Silicone doesn’t stick to old silicone, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. All the old material has to come out first.
Commercial buildings in Newington
If you run a hotel, guest house or holiday let in a coastal place like Newington, heavy use in the busy months is hard on washroom and kitchen sealant, and any building work there should leave fire-rated joints made good. In Scotland, private landlords have to meet the Repairing Standard, so landlords with several properties often need sealant work across them all.
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as St Trinnean's School, sealant in washrooms, kitchens and changing areas can be renewed around term times or opening hours. For buildings such as Salisbury Church, any kitchen and washrooms need the same sealant care as any other building. If you let a flat or house near Edinburgh Waverley station, we can quote for one property or a whole portfolio of rentals.

Student & care accommodation

Retail & leisure sites
Retail and leisure sites have washrooms, kitchens and changing areas with sealant to maintain. We can plan around opening hours.
Why deal with it now?
Patching the worst rooms as complaints come in is hard to manage. A planned programme works through every room, with less disruption and one clear quote. Wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint on the outside of a city building, and in Newington, damp can spread through stone and plaster before anyone sees it.
A few things move the cost up or down: how much old sealant there is and how stubborn it is, any mould to treat, and whether the work is at height. Your quote takes all of that into account.
