What the job involves on each surface
Hotel bathrooms
In a hotel, every bathroom is used and cleaned daily, so we use anti-fungal sanitary silicone and finish joints smooth for easy cleaning.
Student & care accommodation
In care settings, we agree the order and timings with staff, and staff are told when each bathroom can be used.
Commercial sealant in Westruther, done properly
For a rental portfolio, resealing between tenants keeps bathrooms and kitchens presentable. We can quote for several properties at once. Common call-outs are for washroom sealant that looks dirty however often it’s cleaned and repeated reseals that don’t last, across student & care accommodation, welfare facilities and rental portfolios.
In a smaller place like Westruther, commercial jobs are more likely to be a hotel, guest house, school, surgery or community hall than an office block. Each needs sound sealant in its washrooms and kitchens, and fire-rated joints kept in good order.
A 12-month guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

Westruther: your questions answered
Do you cover smaller places like Westruther?
Yes. Westruther is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. We work across all of Scotland. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
Is Westruther in your area for commercial sealant?
Yes. We work across all of Scotland, and Westruther is part of that. You can drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk and let us know what needs doing, and we’ll give you a clear price.
Can I do it myself?
For a simple, easy-to-reach joint, a careful DIYer can do a reasonable job. The usual mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using too much.
Does commercial work come with a guarantee?
Yes. Our one-year guarantee covers commercial work too.
Can you reseal between tenancies?
Yes. Between tenancies is a good time to reseal bathrooms and kitchens.
What sealant do you use?
It depends on the joint: anti-fungal sanitary silicone in wet areas, and other sealants where joints move or face the weather. We use products from Arbo and Everbuild.
What do you need from me for a quote?
Let us know what needs doing and where, with photos by email if possible. If we need more, we will ask.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. More than one area can go on one quote.
Landlord and commercial work in Westruther
Failed sealant is one of the commonest items on a check-out report, and it’s easy to sort out between tenants. We can quote for more than one property at once.
We also work for businesses, from offices to washrooms and kitchens. On commercial sites, working times can be discussed when we quote.
Signs you need commercial sealant in Westruther
Internal washrooms and en suites without a window rely entirely on extraction, and where extraction is poor, damp hangs around. Mould then takes hold in the silicone.
If you can see any of these, it’s time to have the joints looked at:
- Shower leaks reaching the floor below
- Tired sealant in let properties
- Black, stained silicone in guest bathrooms
- Worktop sealant that has shrunk and stained
Community buildings like Old Parish Church and Churchyard are part of the picture too: halls and community kitchens see heavy use, and their sealant shows it.
Before you book anyone
- When the joint can take water or movement
- What happens if the job turns out different
- What insurance they hold
- How long the guarantee is
Keeping the joints in good condition
Looking after new joints is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Book larger programmes for quieter times of year
- Keep a record of which rooms were resealed and when
- Keep strong chemicals and scourers off the joints
- Check the joints during routine room inspections
Include sealant in routine room inspections. Checking joints alongside other room checks catches failures before they leak.
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.
Quotes for commercial sealant in Westruther
Jobs vary more than people expect. The main factors:
- The old material and how stubborn it is
- Access and height
- The number and length of the joints
- Mould in or behind the old joints
The cost reflects the work involved, not guesswork. That’s why we ask about the job first and agree the price before starting.
Helping us quote
When you contact us, it’s useful to know:
- If someone has resealed it before
- A few photos by email, if you can
- What’s wrong with the joints now
- Whether it’s a home or a business

Can I do it myself?
If you’re set on DIY, put the effort into 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.
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that is fine. We cut it out and start again.
