Commercial sealant in St Leonard's
Guest bathrooms are cleaned every day and used by different people every night, so sealant there has a hard life. Rooms are resealed in batches, keeping most rooms available. If you have worktop sealant that has shrunk and stained and black, stained silicone in guest bathrooms, we can help, on rental portfolios, retail & leisure sites and office washrooms & kitchens alike.
Scotland’s cities have offices, hotels, student flats, care homes and tenement blocks looked after by factors. In St Leonard's, that can mean resealing washrooms room by room or fire-rated sealant around pipes and cables in common areas.
Every job is covered by our 12-month guarantee, wherever you are in Edinburgh.

DIY versus a professional finish
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is.
A DIY attempt does not rule out a professional job. We remove it and do the joint properly.
What sealant work cannot fix
Sealant is not the answer to every problem, and we will tell you before work begins. Sealant won’t put right:
- Faulty shower valves and leaking traps
- Poor ventilation that keeps bringing mould back
- Water damage behind the tiles that needs a tiler or builder
If in doubt, email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk and we will say what we think before you book.

What affects the cost of commercial sealant
The price is agreed before any work begins. It’s based on:
- The size of the job
- Any working-time requirements on site
- Whether old sealant or filler has to be cut out
- How many rooms, windows or areas are involved
Combining jobs into one visit generally makes better use of the time than several visits, so it’s worth mentioning everything you’d like done. You will get one clear quote for the whole job.

What commercial sealant looks like in St Leonard's

St Leonard's has hotels and guest accommodation in and around it. For hotels, a room-by-room programme keeps most rooms in use while the work goes on.
If you let a flat or house near Edinburgh Waverley station, several rental properties can be resealed on one programme.

Signs you need commercial sealant in St Leonard's
A rushed reseal between guests rarely lasts. New silicone over old, joints that weren’t dried, or an unsuitable product all lead to the same thing: another reseal before long.
If you can see any of these, it’s time to have the joints looked at:
- Washroom sealant that looks dirty however often it’s cleaned
- Too many rooms to reseal without closing the building
- Worktop sealant that has shrunk and stained
- Failed floor-level joints in accessible wet rooms
Schools such as St Trinnean's School are buildings too, and washroom and kitchen sealant can be programmed around term times or opening hours.
Questions to ask before booking
- What the cure time is
- What product goes in the joint
- How hidden problems are handled
- Whether all the old sealant comes out first
How it works
The work is kept neat and contained to the joints we’re treating. The job generally takes a few hours per area, with larger sites planned over several visits, and we explain the cure time before we leave. In a Scottish city, a lot of jobs are in tenement flats, up a common stair from a shared close. In St Leonard's, it helps to know the floor, the door entry arrangements and the nearest parking.
- We start with a site walk to agree the rooms and the timing.
- Each area is protected and the old sealant cut out completely.
- 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
- For business premises, tell us about site rules or sign-in
- Mention any tricky access
- Let us know about parking restrictions

Questions from St Leonard's
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Edinburgh Waverley station?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. You can email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk with the address and a few details, and we’ll give you a fixed price before we start.
Do you work for hotels and guest houses in St Leonard's?
Yes. Hotel and guest-house work is part of what we do. Jobs can be programmed room by room, with out-of-hours working possible to arrange.
Should I try DIY first?
Sometimes. Preparation is everything: all the old sealant out, and a clean, dry joint. If it doesn’t work out, we can redo it.
Will there be a smell?
There can be a smell while the sealant cures. Opening a window helps.
How soon can a room be used after resealing?
Usually after around 24 hours. We give a cure time for each area.
Do you provide RAMS?
We are fully insured, and we will go through your site’s requirements with you. We’ll confirm what we can supply when we quote.
Can you do several jobs on one visit?
Yes, we can. Several rooms, windows or areas can go on one quote.
Is it OK to seal over old sealant?
No, and we never do. It may look fine at first, but the new layer lifts away from the old one. The old sealant has to come out completely.
How the job changes by surface
Hotel bathrooms
Guest bathrooms are resealed room by room or in batches, keeping most of the hotel open. Housekeeping get a cure time for each room.
