There are hotels and other places to stay in and around Polwarth. For hotels, a room-by-room programme keeps most rooms in use while the work goes on.
Managing a site like Craiglockhart Primary School? Then washroom and kitchen sealant can be programmed around term times or opening hours. If you let a flat or house near Slateford station, we can quote for one property or a whole portfolio of rentals.

Commercial sealant in Polwarth
Guest bathrooms are cleaned every day and used by different people every night, so sealant there has a hard life. We work through rooms in batches, so only a few are out of use at once. If you have failed floor-level joints in accessible wet rooms and water marks on ceilings under bathrooms, we can put it right, whatever the surface.
In Scotland’s cities, hotels and student accommodation need sealant work done without emptying the building, so jobs in Polwarth can be programmed room by room, with out-of-hours working possible to arrange.
Each job carries a 12-month guarantee.

Questions from Polwarth
I let a flat near Slateford station. Can you help?
Yes, we work for landlords and agents. 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.
Do you take on hotel work around Polwarth?
Yes, hotels and guest houses are among the places we work. A room-by-room programme keeps most rooms in use while the work goes on.
Do you provide RAMS?
Let us know which documents your site needs, such as method statements, risk assessments or insurance details, and we’ll confirm what we can supply with the quote.
Is it worth trying it myself?
That depends on the joint. High-level, external movement and fire-rated joints are professional jobs, while a short indoor joint may be within reach.
Do you take out the old sealant first?
Yes, every time. New sealant won’t bond properly to old, so the joint is cleaned back first.
When can guests or staff use the shower again?
It depends on the product, but around 24 hours is typical. We tell your team the cure time for every area.
What does commercial sealant cost?
There’s no set price, as it depends on the job: its size, the old material, access and the product needed. We agree the price before any work begins.
Will it make a mess?
Not at all. We work neatly, protect the area around the joints and tidy up afterwards.
What happens on the day
On the day, we start by going over the job with you, so you know exactly what we are doing. Surfaces next to the work are protected before any work starts. Most jobs take as long as the scope needs, from one welfare room to a full building. Many homes in Scotland’s cities are tenement flats, reached through a shared close and up a common stair. In Polwarth, 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.
- Room by room, we protect the area and remove all the old sealant.
- We clean the joints, treat any mould and let them dry.
- Anti-fungal sanitary silicone goes into wet areas, with suitable sealants elsewhere.
- Rooms are checked and returned with a cure time so staff know when to use them.
Before we arrive
- Let us know about stairs, lifts or work at height
- Keep children and pets away from the work area
- Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed

Why act early in Polwarth
Room by room, the work is quick: the job takes as long as the scope needs, from one welfare room to a full building. Each area is then left to cure for the time we give you, so planning the order matters more than the hours on site. In a tenement flat in Polwarth, a failed seal is rarely just your problem: a leak can come through the ceiling below, and gaps in shared walls or fire-rated joints matter to every flat.
There are no prices on our website, because each job is priced on what it involves. For a quick quote, please email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk and we will talk you through it.

Signs you need commercial sealant in Polwarth
Commercial bathrooms get far more use than domestic ones, and daily cleaning with strong chemicals wears sealant down. So the silicone ages faster than it would at home.
Common reasons people contact us include:
- Failed floor-level joints in accessible wet rooms
- Worktop sealant that has shrunk and stained
- Repeated reseals that do not last
- Black, stained silicone in guest bathrooms
For buildings such as Polwarth Parish Church and Hall, any kitchen and washrooms need the same sealant care as any other building.

Work for landlords, hotels and businesses
In hotels, rooms out of use cost money, so the work can be planned room by room. Hotel work is part of what we do, alongside homes and businesses.
We also work for property managers and facilities teams in Polwarth and across Edinburgh. We can quote a run of properties together.
What affects the quote in Polwarth
Some jobs are bigger than they look, and some smaller. What affects the quote:
- The number of rooms or windows
- Whether the work is at height
- Any working-time requirements on site
- The number and length of the joints
Leaving a failed joint generally makes the job bigger, not smaller, because water and mould keep working on it. If you’re not sure whether it needs doing, email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk and we will give you an honest view and a quote.
What we need to know
What to tell us when you ask for a quote:
- The problem you’ve noticed
- Roughly how big the job is
- The type of property
- The address or postcode of the job
We do not publish a price list, because every job is different. Instead, your job gets its own clear quote. To arrange one, email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk.
Should I try it myself first?
Not every job suits DIY: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas need the right product, the right access and the right method.
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. New silicone won’t bond to old, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. All the old material has to come out first.
Looking after it afterwards
After the cure time, these simple habits help:
- Check the joints during routine room inspections
- Keep a record of which rooms were resealed and when
- Check extract fans are actually running
- Act on lifting sealant before it leaks
A squeegee in each shower is a simple help: less water sits on the joints between uses.
Black sealant in a staff washroom or guest bathroom draws complaints. Left long enough, it spreads through the bead, and only replacement fixes it.
