About our commercial sealant in Wasbister
Hotel bathrooms take hard daily use and constant cleaning, so sealant there has a hard life. Rooms are resealed in batches, so only a few are out of use at once. Typical jobs include too many rooms to reseal without closing the building and split sealant where wet room floors meet walls, across welfare facilities, student & care accommodation and retail & leisure sites.
Work in a place like Wasbister is planned ahead, journey included, so the job can fit around guests, residents or opening hours where possible.
Every job comes with our 12-month guarantee, wherever you are in the Orkney Islands.

Keeping the joints in good condition
After the cure time, these simple habits help:
- Don’t leave a failed joint until the next refurbishment
- Schedule work around occupancy
- Include the silicone on your room checklists
- Note the date each area was done
Include sealant in routine room inspections. A quick look at each bathroom when rooms are checked spots problems early.
Mould in shared washrooms gets noticed and talked about. Left long enough, it spreads through the bead, so the fix is replacement.
Different surfaces, different methods
Student & care accommodation
Vacant rooms make resealing quick and simple.
Office washrooms & kitchens
A row of basins on a vanity top has a long joint that collects water. It’s cut out, cleaned and resealed in one neat line.
How the visit works
There’s no need to move everything out before we come, just the space around the work. We protect the rest, and the job takes a few hours per room, so whole buildings are phased in most cases. Around Wasbister, distance and access matter more than parking. Tell us how to find the property and how to reach the work, and the visit is planned around that.
- Tell us the rooms, hours and site rules, and we will plan the programme.
- We go through your site’s paperwork needs, such as RAMS, before work begins.
- In each room, the old bead comes out and the joint is cleaned and treated.
- Anti-fungal sanitary silicone goes into wet areas, with suitable sealant elsewhere.
- Rooms are handed back in order, each with its cure time.
Before we arrive
- Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed
- Tell us about any previous sealing or DIY attempts
- Mention any parking rules near the property

Related advice
Common problems we fix in Wasbister
Wet rooms and accessible showers are designed for the whole floor to get wet, so the joints at floor level are under water often. Any split there can let water through quickly.
If you can see any of these, it’s time to have the joints looked at:
- Tired sealant in let properties
- Large numbers of bathrooms needing the same work
- Worktop sealant that has shrunk and stained
- Washroom sealant that looks dirty however often it’s cleaned
Whether the job is in Wasbister itself or nearby, the right material for each joint matters as much as a neat finish.

Should I try it myself first?
If you’re set on DIY, put the effort into preparation: remove every trace of old sealant, clean and dry the joint, and follow the product’s cure time. If it fails, we can still redo it.
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. New silicone won’t bond to old, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. All the old material has to come out first.
Questions from Wasbister
What guarantee comes with commercial sealant in Wasbister?
All our work, in Wasbister and everywhere else, comes with a 12-month guarantee. We are also fully insured and ARBOMaster approved.
Can you do commercial sealant in Wasbister?
Yes. We work across all of Scotland, and Wasbister is part of that. You can drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk and tell us what needs doing, and we’ll give you a clear quote.
Will you leave a mess?
Tidy work is part of the job. We protect what’s around the joints, and we clear up when we are done.
Do you take on large, multi-room jobs?
Yes. We will walk the site, agree the scope and the order, and give you one clear quote.
Is it OK to seal over old sealant?
No, and we never do. It can look neat for a few weeks, but the new layer lifts away from the old one. The old sealant has to come out completely.
Can you start early or work out of hours?
Often, yes. Let us know when the building is quietest, and we’ll see what can be arranged.
Will the old sealant be removed?
Yes. We cut out all the old sealant and clean the joint before resealing.
Which products do you use?
Quality sealants from brands including Arbo and Everbuild, chosen to suit the joint. We’ll tell you what we’re using and why.
What sealant work cannot fix
New sealant cannot fix everything, and we’d rather say so up front. Sealant won’t put right:
- Cracked trays or baths rather than failed joints
- Water coming from plumbing rather than sealant
- Tiles coming off the wall
Not sure which it is? You can drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
