Leave it or put it right?
Replacing a whole washroom takes time, money and several trades. When the fittings are sound, renewing the sealant brings it back with far less upheaval. We’ll tell you if we find anything that needs another trade. Out of town in Scotland, exposed walls take a lot of weather, and once water gets behind a failed joint, damp in stone or harled walls is slow to dry out.
Homes and businesses are quoted the same way: how much there is to do, how we reach it and what it needs, along with when we can work on site. Ask us for a quote and we’ll go through it with you.
Why us?
- A sealant colour to suit the surroundings
- We’re fully insured
- Neat joints and a tidy finish
- Over 20 years’ experience

Commercial sealant around Swanston
In Scotland, private landlords have to meet the Repairing Standard, so landlords with several properties often need sealant work across them all.
For landlords with property near Slateford station, sealant work can be quoted for a single flat or a whole portfolio. Community buildings like Fairmilehead Church are part of the picture too: any kitchen and washrooms need the same sealant care as any other building.
Swanston is about 3 miles south of Edinburgh, in Edinburgh. Swanston gets the same service as everywhere we cover: old sealant removed completely, careful preparation and a one-year guarantee. Our area takes in 175 places across Edinburgh.
Here we cover the EH10 postcode area for commercial sealant. Nearby, we also carry out commercial sealant in Bonaly (2 miles west), Torphin (2 miles west), Milton Bridge (3 miles south), Penicuik (4 miles south) and Silverburn (5 miles south-west). Larger places within reach include Edinburgh (3 miles north), Leith (6 miles north), Bonnington (6 miles north), Greenside (5 miles north), Broughton (5 miles north) and Bellevue (5 miles north).
Local landmarks in Swanston
The closest station to Swanston is Slateford station, about 2.5 miles north-west of the centre. Well-known places in the area include Merchiston Tower (2.8 miles north) and Princess Margaret Rose Orthopaedic Hospital (0.9 miles north-east). Not far away are Caerketton Hill and The New Leaf Co-op.
DIY versus a professional finish
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and doesn’t move well, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.
If you do try it yourself, take your time over the preparation: take out all the old sealant, make sure the joint is clean and dry, and give it the full cure time. If it fails, we can still redo it.
Signs you need commercial sealant in Swanston
Shower trays and baths in busy buildings move more: different weights, constant use and daily cleaning. A tray that isn’t fully supported soon tears its seal.
People usually contact us after spotting something like this:
- Leaking joints in shower rooms and changing areas
- Leaks from showers into rooms or ceilings below
- Worktop sealant that has shrunk and stained
- Black, stained silicone in guest bathrooms
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Firrhill High School, sealant in washrooms, kitchens and changing areas can be renewed around term times or opening hours.

Work for landlords, hotels and businesses
Housing providers, facilities teams and property managers book us too in Swanston and across Edinburgh. Several sites can be quoted together, and we are fully insured for the work.
Failed sealant is one of the commonest items on a check-out report, and it’s quick to put right between tenancies. We can quote for more than one property at once.
How we quote for commercial sealant
We don’t publish a price list, because jobs vary so much. What we look at:
- The number and length of the joints
- Whether there’s mould to deal with
- How many rooms, windows or areas are involved
- Access and height
A failed joint rarely gets cheaper to fix by waiting, because water and mould keep working on it. If you’re not sure whether it needs doing, send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk and we will give you an honest view and a quote.
What to tell us for a quote
You do not need to know the technical terms. Just tell us:
- Whether it’s a home or a business
- Photos by email, if that is easy
- The rough size of the job
- Where the property is
A good description makes for an accurate quote. Tell us where the job is, what’s wrong and how much there is, and email photos if that is easy.
What we do, step by step
We work through the job in order: protection first, then preparation, sealing and a tidy-up. For most jobs that takes a few hours per room, so whole buildings are phased and we leave things clean and tidy. For a place like Swanston, longer drives are planned in advance. Mention tracks, gates, ferries or anything else about the route.
- First we visit and agree the scope, the sequence and the working hours.
- Every area is sheeted and the old silicone stripped out.
- 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.
Before we arrive
- For business premises, tell us about site rules or sign-in
- Move anything stored near the joints
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive
Ask for a quote
Asking for a quote is easy: let us know what needs doing and where and its rough size. A few pictures by email make the job easier to understand.

Keeping the joints in good condition
A little care helps the new joints last. We recommend:
- Add sealant to your planned maintenance checks
- Log resealing so you know what’s due
- Pass on the cure time to whoever cleans the rooms
- Schedule work around occupancy
Make it easy for staff to flag a failing joint. Catching one split early can save a leak later, and if anything looks wrong, just send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk.
Water from a failed shower seal can travel: into ceilings below, walls next door and service voids. Dealing with the joint early stops that spread.
