How to look after the new joints
Good habits help new joints last longer. A few tips:
- Report broken fans quickly
- Do not leave a failed joint until the next refurbishment
- Pass on the cure time to whoever cleans the rooms
- Encourage users to squeegee shower walls
Each room is handed back with its cure time, usually around 24 hours. Pass it on to housekeeping or cleaners so nobody showers or cleans the joint too early.
Black sealant in a staff washroom or guest bathroom draws complaints. Left long enough, it spreads through the bead, so the fix is replacement.
Surface by surface
Rental portfolios
Good sealant prevents leaks that cause bigger repairs.
Welfare facilities
Welfare facilities, shower rooms and changing areas need to stay usable. We can plan the work in sections so part of the facilities stays in use.
What commercial sealant looks like in Sorbie
If you run a hotel, guest house or holiday let in a coastal place like Sorbie, heavy use in the busy months is hard on washroom and kitchen sealant, and any building work there should leave fire-rated joints made good. Private landlords in Scotland must meet the Repairing Standard, and keeping sealant sound across a portfolio is part of that.
Around Sorbie, as everywhere, commercial sealant is only as good as the preparation behind it. For buildings such as Sorbie Old Kirk, its kitchen and washroom sealant needs looking after like anywhere else.

Water getting past a failed joint can damage the building, which matters even more when someone else lives there. Resealing at the right time is simple maintenance that we can handle for you.
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, what’s needed and the access arrangements and we will quote.
When it isn’t the sealant
We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what new sealant will not do:

Sorbie questions
Is there a guarantee on commercial sealant in Sorbie?
Every job comes with our 12-month guarantee, wherever it is. We’re fully insured, and an ARBOMaster approved applicator.
Is Sorbie in your area for commercial sealant?
Yes. Our work covers the whole of Scotland, and Sorbie is part of that. Just send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk with a few details of the job, and we will give you a clear quote.
Can you reseal every bathroom in a hotel?
Yes. We will walk the site, agree the scope and the order, and give you one clear quote.
What should I tell you?
Let us know what needs doing and where, with pictures by email if possible. If we need more, we’ll ask.
Can you work around guests in a hotel?
Yes. We work through rooms in batches, keeping most rooms available. Each room comes back with its cure time for housekeeping.
Do you offer different sealant colours?
In most cases you can choose. We’ll tell you which colours the right product comes in.
Where do you work from?
Our base is in Crawley, West Sussex, and we cover South East England, London and all of Scotland.
Is it worth trying it myself?
For a simple, easy-to-reach joint, a careful DIYer can do a reasonable job. Most DIY failures come from sealing over old material, wet joints or too much sealant.
What happens on the day
All our tools and materials come with us in the van, so there’s nothing for you to buy. Once we’ve agreed what’s being done, we protect the area and start. Most jobs take a few hours for a single washroom, longer for a whole building. In smaller Scottish places, parking is normally less of an issue than access and distance. Tell us how to find the property and how to reach the work, and the visit is planned around that.
- First we visit and agree the scope, the sequence and the working hours.
- Room by room, we protect the area and remove all the old sealant.
- We clean the joints, treat any mould and let them dry.
- Anti-fungal sanitary silicone goes into wet areas, with suitable sealants elsewhere.
- Rooms are checked and returned with a cure time so staff know when to use them.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know about stairs, lifts or work at height
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit
- Mention any sign-in or site rules at work premises

DIY versus a professional finish
Not every job suits DIY: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs need the right product, the right access and the right method.
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.
Leave it or put it right?
Sealing over the old bead can seem the fastest option, but silicone does not bond to silicone, so it lifts. One proper reseal beats several quick ones. When the nearest tradesperson is a drive away, it’s tempting to leave a small leak, but water through a failed joint keeps working away until it’s fixed.
Rather than a set price list, we look at what your job involves: how many joints, what’s in them now and how we reach them. The price is agreed before we begin.
Why us?
- Old sealant always removed completely
- Tidy, careful work
- Over 20 years’ experience
- Experience in homes, commercial sites and hotels
