Commercial sealant in Shawfair
Wet areas get anti-fungal sanitary silicone, and kitchens get a food-safe product where it’s needed. Products include Arbo and Everbuild sealants, chosen to suit each joint. If you have tired sealant ahead of a health and safety audit and sealant failing again soon after quick repairs, we can put it right.

How the job changes by surface
Hotel bathrooms
Hotel showers and baths get used and cleaned every day, so joints are finished smooth and sealed with anti-fungal sanitary silicone.
Rental portfolios
For a portfolio, we can quote several addresses together, with each one done when access suits.
DIY versus a professional finish
A DIY attempt doesn’t rule out a professional job. We remove it and do the joint properly.
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.
Keeping the joints in good condition
How long the joints last depends on use and care. Here’s what we suggest:
- Schedule work around occupancy
- Check the joints during routine room inspections
- Keep a record of which rooms were resealed and when
- Ask cleaners to go gently on the silicone
Make it easy for staff to flag a failing joint. A small gap caught quickly is a short fix, and if anything looks wrong, just drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk.
Mould in shared washrooms gets noticed and talked about. The longer it’s left, the deeper it grows into the silicone, so the fix is replacement.
Work for landlords, hotels and businesses
A neglected joint can let water reach the structure, which is a bigger problem in a rented property. Keeping joints in good order is simple maintenance that we can handle for you.
We also work for businesses, from offices to washrooms and kitchens. On commercial sites, working times can be discussed when we quote.
How it works
A visit follows a simple pattern: we check the joints, protect the area around them, do the work and clear up. Most jobs take a few hours per area, with larger sites planned over several visits. Outside jobs in Shawfair need a dry day, because sealant will not bond to a wet joint, so external jobs may need to move if the day turns wet. Indoor work goes ahead whatever the weather.
- Tell us the rooms, hours and site rules, and we’ll plan the programme.
- Tell us what paperwork your site needs, and we confirm what we can supply 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.
Preparing for the visit
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit
- Keep children and pets away from the work area
- Move anything stored near the joints

Quotes for commercial sealant in Shawfair
We don’t publish a price list, because jobs vary so much. What we look at:
- The type of sealant required
- Mould in or behind the old joints
- How easy the joints are to reach
- How many areas need sealing
There are no prices on our website, because the cost depends so much on the job itself. Call for a quick quote and we’ll talk you through it.
What to tell us for a quote
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote. When you ask for a quote, tell us:
- Where the property is
- What’s wrong with the joints now
- Any access issues, like height or stairs
- Whether it has been sealed before
Call for a quick quote, or email us if that is easier. Tell us about the joints that need doing and we will talk you through the work.
What happens if it’s left?
Room by room, the work is quick: it takes a morning for a small washroom, and a planned programme for bigger sites. Each area is then left to cure for the time we give you, so the programme is planned around cure times. 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.
Instead of a standard rate, we look at what your job involves: the amount of work, the old material and the access. The price is agreed before we begin.
Why book with us
- 20+ years of sealant experience
- Homes, businesses and hotels
- White, clear, grey or coloured to suit, where the product allows
- We agree the colour with you first
