How we handle commercial sealant in Torphin
Mr Mastic brings more than 20 years’ experience to commercial sites, and we are fully insured and ARBOMaster approved. Tell us what paperwork your site needs, such as RAMS or insurance details, and we’ll confirm what we can provide. We work on office washrooms & kitchens, hotel bathrooms and student & care accommodation, and the jobs we see most are repeated reseals that don’t last and leaks from showers into rooms or ceilings below.
Commercial work around smaller Scottish places tends to mean hotels, guest houses, schools and halls rather than offices. Each needs sound sealant in its washrooms and kitchens, and fire-rated joints kept in good order.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there’s a problem with our work within the year, let us know and we will sort it.

How the job changes by surface
Office washrooms & kitchens
Kitchen and tea point joints are degreased and resealed, using a food-safe sealant by sinks where it’s needed.
Welfare facilities
Busy staff showers wear sealant out quickly. Anti-fungal sanitary silicone is used throughout, accessible showers included.
Can I do it myself?
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, 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 doesn’t work out, we can still put it right.
Work for landlords, hotels and businesses
Whether it’s one flat or a portfolio, the work is the same standard: the old material taken out, careful preparation and a 12-month guarantee.
If you manage several properties in or around Torphin, several properties can go on one quote. Send us the addresses and the work at each.
Signs you need commercial sealant in Torphin
Commercial bathrooms get far more use than domestic ones, and daily cleaning with strong chemicals wears sealant down. That is why sealant fails sooner.
The most common problems we see are:
- Washrooms that need sorting before an inspection
- Whole floors of tired en suites
- Split sealant where wet room floors meet walls
- Split sealant around staff kitchen worktops and sinks
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Merchiston Castle School, washroom and kitchen sealant can be programmed around term times or opening hours.

Your questions about commercial sealant in Torphin
Is Torphin in your area for commercial sealant?
Yes, Torphin is within the area we cover. Our work covers the whole of Scotland. Just drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk with a few details of the job.
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Wester Hailes station?
Yes. We work for landlords and letting agents as well as householders. You can send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk with the details for a clear quote.
Which products do you use?
It depends on the joint: sanitary silicone where it gets wet, and sealants suited to movement or weather elsewhere. We use products from Arbo and Everbuild.
Should I try DIY first?
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.
How long does commercial sealant take?
That depends on how much there is to do, but most jobs take a morning for a small washroom, and a planned programme for bigger sites. We’ll give you a better idea when we quote.
Can you work outside opening hours?
In many cases. Let us know when the building is quietest, and we will see what can be arranged.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes, and it often makes sense. Combining jobs makes good use of the visit.
What should I tell you?
Where the job is, what the problem is and roughly how big it is. If you can, email a few pictures.
What affects the cost of commercial sealant
Jobs vary more than people expect. The main factors:
- Which sealant suits the joint
- The old material and how stubborn it is
- Whether there’s mould to deal with
- The number and length of the joints
Doing several joints on one visit usually makes better use of the time than several visits. You’ll get one clear quote for the whole job.
What we need to know
You do not need to know the technical terms. Just tell us:
- What’s wrong with the joints now
- If someone has resealed it before
- How many joints, rooms or windows are involved
- Where the property is
Call for a quick quote, or email us if that is easier. Describe what needs sealing and we’ll talk you through the work before giving you a price.
Aftercare tips
Joint life depends on how it’s used and looked after. We suggest:
- Pass on the cure time to whoever cleans the rooms
- Schedule work around occupancy
- Include the silicone on your room checklists
- Get split or lifting joints looked at early
A squeegee in each shower is a simple help: less water sits on the joints between uses.
A room that can’t be let or used is lost income. Small sealant faults caught early can be fixed between bookings or tenancies, instead of turning into a leak that closes the room.
What happens on the day
There is not much for you to do on the day. Point us to the joints and we will get on with it. The work itself takes a morning for a small washroom, and a planned programme for bigger sites from start to finish. Somewhere like Torphin may be a longer drive, and the journey is planned ahead. Mention tracks, gates, ferries or anything else about the route.
- The first visit is a look round the site to agree the scope.
- We agree when we’ll work, with early or out-of-hours slots where they can be arranged.
- Each area is protected and stripped of old sealant.
- Joints are dried, then resealed and tooled neatly.
- Housekeeping or site staff are told when each area can be used.
How to prepare
- Mention any tricky access
- Tell us if parking is tricky
- Clear the area around the work
