Polton Commercial Sealant
Problem with your washrooms, bathrooms and kitchens in Polton? We cut out the old, prepare the joints and apply the right sealant, and the work is guaranteed for a year.
- Worktop sealant that has shrunk and stained
- Washroom sealant that looks dirty however often it’s cleaned
- Silicone laid over old silicone by a previous contractor
Leave it or put it right?
Sealant is easy to forget until an audit or inspection is due. Planning the work ahead means rooms are finished and cured in time, without a last-minute rush. When the nearest tradesperson is a drive away, it’s tempting to leave a small leak, but water behind a failed seal does the most damage when nobody’s watching.
Rather than a set price list, we look at what your job involves: the amount of work, the old material and the access. You’ll know the price before we begin.
Why book with us
- Sealant colour chosen to suit
- An ARBOMaster approved applicator
- White, clear, grey or another colour, product permitting
- Homes, businesses and hotels

About our commercial sealant in Polton
Mouldy or split sealant in a commercial building causes more than a bad impression. Cleaners struggle with it, water gets through it and people notice it. Our applicators renew sealant across washrooms, welfare areas, kitchens and guest bathrooms. We work on welfare facilities, rental portfolios and student & care accommodation, and the jobs we see most are tired sealant ahead of a health and safety audit and shower leaks reaching the floor below.
If you look after holiday lets, a guest house or a community building in or near Polton, the washrooms and kitchens need the same care as any city building, and fire-rated joints should be kept in good order.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something isn’t right with it in that time, tell us and we will put it right.

What commercial sealant looks like in Polton
Private landlords in Scotland must meet the Repairing Standard, and keeping sealant sound across a portfolio is part of that.
For landlords with property near Eskbank station, sealant work can be quoted for a single flat or a whole portfolio. If you look after a building such as Lasswade High School Centre, busy washrooms and kitchens can be resealed in phases so they stay open.
Polton is about 1 mile west of Bonnyrigg, in Midlothian. From the centre of Polton to the outskirts, commercial sealant is available for homes and businesses alike.

Surface by surface
Welfare facilities
Failed sealant in welfare areas is a simple fix before an audit. Tell us your deadline and we’ll plan the work and cure time around it.
Retail & leisure sites
Changing areas and showers at leisure sites are wet all day, so joints are sealed with anti-fungal sanitary silicone.

Polton: your questions answered
Can you do commercial sealant in Polton?
Yes. Our work covers the whole of Scotland, and Polton is part of that. Just email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk with a few details of the job.
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Eskbank station?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. You can send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk with the address and a few details, and we will give you a fixed price before any work starts.
How soon can a room be used after resealing?
Plan for around 24 hours, or the cure time we give for that area. A room-by-room programme keeps only a few rooms out at once.
Can you send RAMS and insurance details for our site?
We’re fully insured, so start by telling us what your site asks for. Send over your requirements and we will confirm what we can provide.
Can you take on a whole building?
Yes. We’ll walk the site, agree the scope and the order, and you get one clear quote.
Is there any odour?
It depends on the product. Some smell for a while, some hardly at all.
Are you ARBOMaster approved?
Yes. We are ARBOMaster approved, the scheme for applicators of Arbo sealants.
Is it worth trying it myself?
That depends on the joint. Work at height, movement joints, fire-rated gaps and large areas are best left to a professional.
What we’re called out for in Polton
A rushed reseal between guests rarely lasts. New silicone over old, joints that weren’t dried, or an unsuitable product all lead to the same thing: another reseal before long.
Look out for any of the following:
- Repeated reseals that do not last
- Shower leaks reaching the floor below
- Large numbers of bathrooms needing the same work
- Failed joints in office kitchens and tea points
If you look after a church, hall or community building such as St Leaonard's Episcopal Church, any kitchen and washrooms need the same sealant care as any other building.
What your quote should include
- What the quote includes, VAT included or not
- Is the old sealant removed completely?
- How the surfaces are prepared before sealing
- Are they insured?
How to look after the new joints
To keep the joints looking good and working properly:
- Get split or lifting joints looked at early
- Check the joints during routine room inspections
- Pass on the cure time to whoever cleans the rooms
- Use mild cleaners on sealant, not bleach or abrasives
We give a cure time for every area we finish, which is generally around 24 hours. Make sure housekeeping or cleaning staff know it so nobody showers or cleans the joint too early.
In a commercial building, a leak can quickly spread beyond one room: into ceilings below, walls next door and service voids. Dealing with the joint early stops that spread.
What we cannot put right
To be straight with you, some problems need a different trade:
- Poor ventilation that keeps bringing mould back
- Certifying fire stopping or building compliance
- Water damage behind the tiles that needs a tiler or builder
If in doubt, send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk and we’ll say what we think before booking.
What we seal
