Reston questions
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Reston station?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for, and several properties can go on one quote. You can drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk with the details for a clear quote.
Is Reston in your area for commercial sealant?
Yes, Reston is within the area we cover. We work across all of Scotland. You can send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk and tell us what needs doing.
Do you take out the old sealant first?
Yes, always, and completely. New silicone doesn’t stick to old silicone, so any old material comes out before anything new goes in.
Is it worth trying it myself?
It depends on the job. Work at height, movement joints, fire-rated gaps and large areas are best left to a professional, while a short indoor joint may be within reach.
Are you ARBOMaster approved?
Yes. ARBOMaster is the approved applicator scheme for Arbo sealants, and we’re part of it.
How much does commercial sealant cost in Reston?
We do not publish prices, because the cost depends on the job: how much there is, what’s there now, how we reach it and what it needs.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.
Do I have to be there?
For indoor joints, yes, someone needs to let us in. Once we’ve agreed the job, you do not need to watch us work.
How long does the job take?
As a guide, most jobs take a few hours for a single washroom, longer for a whole building. Bigger jobs take longer, and we’ll say how long yours will take.

Do you need commercial sealant in Reston?

- 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

DIY sealant or a professional job?
A DIY attempt doesn’t rule out a professional job. We remove it and do the joint properly, so just mention it when you contact us.
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
How the visit works
There isn’t much for you to do on the day. Show us the job and we will take it from there. The work itself takes a morning for a small washroom, and a planned programme for bigger sites. Somewhere like Reston may be a longer drive, and the journey is planned ahead. Mention tracks, gates, ferries or anything else about the route.
- We start by looking at the rooms and agreeing what’s needed.
- 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.
- Once dry, every joint is resealed and tooled.
- Housekeeping or site staff are told when each area can be used.

How the job changes by surface
Student & care accommodation
Halls and care homes often have many near-identical bathrooms. We agree a programme and work through them steadily.
Office washrooms & kitchens
A row of basins on a vanity top has a long joint that collects water. It’s cut out, cleaned and resealed in one neat line.
Aftercare tips
No joint lasts for ever, but care makes a real difference. Our tips:
- Add sealant to your planned maintenance checks
- Don’t leave a failed joint until the next refurbishment
- Ask cleaners to go gently on the silicone
- Encourage users to squeegee shower walls
Squeegees in guest and staff showers help: less water sits on the joints between uses.
Signs to look for: black spots in the silicone, corners lifting, staining on the ceiling below or a musty smell. Any of these means the joints need attention.
Honest limits
In fairness, some problems need a different trade:
- Failed tanking or loose tiles behind the sealant
- Cracked trays or baths rather than failed joints
- Poor ventilation that keeps bringing mould back
If in doubt, drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk and we will say what we think.
