For a place like Stichill, the journey and timings are planned in advance, so the job can fit around guests, residents or opening hours where possible.

How the visit works
There isn’t much for you to do on the day. Point us to the joints and we’ll get on with it. The job generally takes anything from a few hours to several days, depending on the number of rooms. In smaller Scottish places, parking is generally less of an issue than access and distance. Let us know how to find you and how to reach the joints.
- 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.
- The joints are degreased, treated and left to dry.
- New sealant suited to each area is applied and tooled.
- Rooms are checked and returned with a cure time so staff know when to use them.
Before we arrive
- Let us know if you’ve seen damp or leaks
- Let us know about parking restrictions
- Mention any sign-in or site rules at work premises

Surface by surface
Hotel bathrooms
Guest bathrooms are resealed room by room or in batches, so most rooms stay available. Each room is handed back with its cure time for housekeeping.
Welfare facilities
Welfare facilities, shower rooms and changing areas need to stay usable. Work can be split into sections.
Looking after it afterwards
Joint life depends on how it’s used and looked after. Here’s what we suggest:
- Act on lifting sealant before it leaks
- Ask cleaners to go gently on the silicone
- Encourage users to squeegee shower walls
- Tell cleaning staff when each room can be used
Daily cleaning with harsh chemicals shortens the life of any sealant. Ask cleaners to use mild products and soft cloths on the sealant, with stronger products kept off the bead.
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.

FAQs for Stichill
Is Stichill within the area you cover?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Our work covers the whole of Scotland. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Can you do commercial sealant in Stichill?
Yes. We work across all of Scotland, and Stichill is part of that. You can send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk and let us know what needs doing, and we’ll give you a clear quote.
Will there be a smell?
Possibly a little. It fades as the sealant cures, and ventilation helps.
Should I try DIY first?
You can, for simple jobs. Preparation is everything: all the old sealant out, and a clean, dry joint. We can always put it right if it fails.
What do you put in the joint?
Products from Arbo and Everbuild, among others, picked for each joint. We explain the product when we quote.
Can you seal over the old sealant?
No, it won’t last. It may look fine at first, but the new bead soon lifts. Removing the old sealant completely is the only lasting way.
Do you guarantee commercial jobs?
Yes, for 12 months. Mild cleaning and good ventilation help it last.
Can you reseal hotel rooms while we stay open?
Yes, in most cases. Each visit covers an agreed batch of rooms, working around check-out and check-in where possible.
What else we do in Stichill
When to call us in Stichill
Commercial buildings settle and move with temperature, and stud walls move more than solid ones. The sealant between walls, trays and fittings absorbs that strain and eventually tear.
If you can see any of these, it’s time to have the joints looked at:
- Mouldy washroom sealant that staff and guests notice
- Shower leaks reaching the floor below
- Repeated reseals that don’t last
- Washrooms that need sorting before an inspection
If you look after a church, hall or community building such as United Presbyterian Church, halls and community kitchens see heavy use, and their sealant shows it.
Before you book anyone
- How the colour is chosen
- What happens if they find a problem under the old sealant
- What insurance they hold
- How the surfaces are prepared before sealing
Leave it or put it right?
In a building with rooms above rooms, a failed shower seal can soon show on a ceiling below. That means a second room out of use and a repair to pay for. A reseal now avoids that. In an older home around Stichill, damp from a failed joint can get into timber and plaster.
A failed joint rarely gets cheaper to fix by waiting. If you are not sure whether it needs doing, drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk for an honest opinion and a quote.

DIY versus a professional finish
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. Silicone does not stick to old silicone, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. Everything old must be removed first.
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, such as a straightforward joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.
