Workplaces and buildings in Selkirk

Community buildings like Church Of Our Lady And St Joseph are part of the picture too: any kitchen and washrooms need the same sealant care as any other building. Rented homes near Galashiels station change hands often, and we can quote for one property or a whole portfolio of rentals.

Different surfaces, different methods
Hotel bathrooms
Early starts or out-of-hours work can be arranged around check-out and check-in.
Office washrooms & kitchens
In staff kitchens, we degrease joints before resealing, using a food-safe sealant by sinks where it’s needed.
When to call us in Selkirk
A rushed reseal between guests rarely lasts. Sealing over old silicone, sealing wet joints or using the wrong product all lead to the same thing: another reseal before long.
Keep an eye out for these signs:
- Silicone laid over old silicone by a previous contractor
- Water marks on ceilings under bathrooms
- Large numbers of bathrooms needing the same work
- Black, stained silicone in guest bathrooms
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Selkirk High School, sealant in washrooms, kitchens and changing areas can be renewed around term times or opening hours.
What your quote should include
- Whether you can choose the colour
- Who does the work, and how experienced they are

- Whether the sealant suits the joint
For landlords and businesses
From a single let to a portfolio, you get the same standard of work: the old material taken out, careful preparation and a 12-month guarantee.
We work for letting agents and landlords as well as householders. Resealing between tenancies keeps a property looking cared for before the next move-in.
When it is not the sealant
New sealant cannot fix everything, and we’d rather say so up front. It won’t solve:
- Certifying fire stopping or building compliance
- Cracked trays or baths rather than failed joints
- Tiles coming off the wall
If in doubt, drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk and we’ll say what we think before you book.
Where we work in Selkirk
- Hotel bathrooms
- Retail & leisure sites
- Welfare facilities
- Rental portfolios
- Office washrooms & kitchens
- Student & care accommodation
Keeping the joints in good condition
A little care helps the new joints last. We recommend:
- Include the silicone on your room checklists
- Schedule work around occupancy
- Encourage users to squeegee shower walls
- Log resealing so you know what’s due
Extract fans need to work. In internal bathrooms, a weak or broken fan lets moisture linger, and mould comes back faster without it.
A room that cannot be let or used is lost income. Small sealant faults caught early can be fixed between bookings or tenancies, instead of turning into a leak that closes the room.
What affects the cost of commercial sealant
You will get a clear quote before any work starts. It’s based on:
- The old material and how stubborn it is
- The product the joint needs
- The number of rooms or windows
- Any mould that needs treating
Doing several joints on one visit generally makes better use of the time than several visits, so it’s worth mentioning everything you’d like done. You’ll get one clear quote for the whole job.
Asking for a quote
You don’t need to know the technical terms. Just tell us:
- If it’s domestic, commercial or a hotel
- Pictures of the joints, sent by email
- What’s wrong with the joints now
- Roughly how big the job is
Asking for a quote is easy: let us know what needs doing and where. A few photos by email make the job easier to understand, and we will take it from there.
Your questions about commercial sealant in Selkirk
I let a flat near Galashiels station. Can you help?
Yes. We work for letting agents and landlords as well as householders. You can email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk with the details for a clear quote.
Will you come out to Selkirk?
Yes, Selkirk is covered. Our work covers the whole of Scotland, from towns to the smallest places. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
Can you quote for more than one area?
Yes, and it often makes sense. Doing several areas at once is normally more efficient.
Can you reseal hotel rooms while we stay open?
Yes. Rooms are done a few at a time, so only a few are out of use at once. Housekeeping are told when each room can be let again.
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. You will get a clear quote before work begins.
Can new sealant go over the old?
No. We remove every bit of old sealant first, so the new joint bonds to clean surfaces.
Is there any odour?
Possibly a little. It fades as the sealant cures, and ventilation helps.
Will it make a mess?
No. We protect the surfaces around the joints, and we clear up the old sealant and our materials before we leave.
How the visit works
When we arrive, we start by going over the job with you, so there are no surprises. We protect the surfaces around the joints before any work starts. Most jobs take a morning for a small washroom, and a planned programme for bigger sites. For a place like Selkirk, longer drives are planned in advance. Tell us about tracks, gates, a ferry crossing or anything unusual about getting there.
- Tell us the rooms, hours and site rules, and we will plan the programme.
- We go through your site’s paperwork needs, such as RAMS, before work begins.
- Old sealant is cut out room by room and joints cleaned and treated.
- Anti-fungal sanitary silicone goes into wet areas, with suitable sealant elsewhere.
- Each finished area is checked with you and given a cure time.
How to prepare
- Mention any parking rules near the property
- For business premises, tell us about site rules or sign-in
- Tell us about access, such as stairs, a lift or high-level joints
