What we do, step by step
There’s no need to move everything out before we come, only the area right around the joints. We protect the rest, and the work takes a few hours for a single washroom, longer for a whole building for a typical job. Many homes in Scotland’s cities are tenement flats, reached through a shared close and up a common stair. For a job in Powderhall, tell us the floor, how the door entry system works and where we can park nearby.
- 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.
- Each area is protected and stripped of old sealant.
- Joints are dried, then resealed and tooled neatly.
- We let your team know the cure time for every area.
How to prepare
- Keep children and pets away from the work area
- Tell us if parking is tricky
- Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed

Looking after it afterwards
So the new joints stay in good condition:
- Ask cleaners to go gently on the silicone
- Book larger programmes for quieter times of year
- Add sealant to your planned maintenance checks
- Pass on the cure time to whoever cleans the rooms
Squeegees in guest and staff showers help: walls and trays dry faster, and so does the sealant.
It’s easier to plan a programme than to react to failures. We can fit the work around bookings, shifts and opening hours, instead of rooms closing without warning.
When it is not the sealant
A few problems are outside what sealant work can do:
- Water damage behind the tiles that needs a tiler or builder
- A broken extractor fan behind the mould problem
- Fire risk assessments or certification
If in doubt, email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk and we will say what we think.
Surfaces we seal

DIY versus a professional finish
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and does not move well, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. Silicone does not stick to old silicone, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. Everything old must be removed first.
Surface by surface
Retail & leisure sites
Changing areas and showers at leisure sites are wet all day, so joints are sealed with anti-fungal sanitary silicone.
Hotel bathrooms
We can plan around check-out and check-in times, with the order agreed with your team.
FAQs for Powderhall
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Edinburgh Waverley station?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for, and several properties can go on one quote. You can email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk with the details for a clear quote.
Can you do commercial sealant in Powderhall?
Yes, Powderhall is within the area we cover. We work across all of Scotland. Just drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk with a few details of the job.
What does commercial sealant cost?
We do not publish prices, because the cost depends on the job: how much there is, what’s there now, how we reach it and what it needs. We agree the price before any work begins.
Is out-of-hours working possible?
That can be arranged. The hours are agreed before work starts.
What sealant do you use?
We choose the sealant for the joint, not the other way round. Where it moves, gets wet or faces the weather makes a difference.
Can you match the sealant colour?
We will suggest a colour to suit the surroundings, from white and clear to greys and other shades. The product needed can limit the range.
Can you seal over the old sealant?
No. Fresh sealant doesn’t stick to old sealant, and anything trapped underneath, including mould and water, stays there. We remove it all first.
Do the sealants smell?
There can be a smell while the sealant cures, but it fades. Ventilation helps.

Why it’s worth doing now in Powderhall
In a building with rooms above rooms, a failed shower seal can soon show on a ceiling below. That means a second room out of use and a repair to pay for. A reseal now avoids that. Wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint on the outside of a city building, and in Powderhall, 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, whether mould needs treating, and whether the work is at height. We take all of that into account in your quote.

Do you need commercial sealant in Powderhall?
In an accessible wet room, water spreads across the floor every use, so the joints at floor level are under water often. A failed joint there can soon let water into the floor or walls.
Most people get in touch after spotting something like this:
- Leaks from showers into rooms or ceilings below
- Silicone laid over old silicone by a previous contractor
- Mouldy bathrooms flagged at a tenancy check
- Split sealant where wet room floors meet walls
If you look after a church, hall or community building such as St Philip's Church And Hall, halls and community kitchens see heavy use, and their sealant shows it.
Questions to ask before you book
- Whether the sealant suits the joint
- How the colour is chosen
- Who does the work, and how experienced they are
- Whether VAT is included
