Should I try it myself first?
If you do try it yourself, take your time over the preparation: remove every trace of old sealant, clean and dry the joint, and follow the product’s cure time. If it fails, we can still redo it.
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that is fine. We remove it and do the joint properly, so just mention it when you contact us.

Why it’s worth doing now in Silverknowes
Guests and staff judge a building by its bathrooms. Mouldy silicone looks unhygienic, however hard housekeeping work, and scrubbing won’t fix it. Replacing it does. In a tenement flat in Silverknowes, 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.
We don’t show prices on the website, because the cost depends so much on the job itself. For a quick quote, please email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk and we will talk you through it.

What commercial sealant looks like in Silverknowes
If you run a hotel, guest house or holiday let in a coastal place like Silverknowes, busy months put washrooms and kitchens under pressure, so it’s worth checking the sealant before the busiest weeks. In Scotland, private landlords have to meet the Repairing Standard, so landlords with several properties often need sealant work across them all.
Community buildings like St Columba's Parish Church are part of the picture too: its kitchen and washroom sealant needs looking after like anywhere else. If you look after a building such as Craigroyston Community High School, sealant in washrooms, kitchens and changing areas can be renewed around term times or opening hours.

Advice
What we can’t put right
Honest advice matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what sealant cannot fix:

- Certifying fire stopping or building compliance
- Water damage behind the tiles that needs a tiler or builder
Not sure which it is? You can drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk and we will tell you honestly before you book.

- Washroom sealant that looks dirty however often it’s cleaned
