About our commercial sealant in Dundee
We fit the work around your building. We can work room by room, floor by floor or in batches, and out-of-hours work or early starts can be arranged where it helps. We are often asked to deal with water marks on ceilings under bathrooms and silicone laid over old silicone by a previous contractor, across rental portfolios, student & care accommodation and office washrooms & kitchens.
Scotland’s cities have offices, hotels, student flats, care homes and tenement blocks looked after by factors. In Dundee, that can mean resealing washrooms room by room or fire-rated sealant around pipes and cables in common areas.
A 12-month guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.
What the job involves on each surface
Welfare facilities
Staff welfare areas are needed every shift. We can plan the work in sections.
Retail & leisure sites
Changing areas and showers at leisure sites are wet all day, so anti-fungal sanitary silicone is the product we use.
How we quote for commercial sealant
There’s no set price list, because no two jobs are the same. The quote depends on:
- Working hours on commercial sites
- The product the joint needs
- The number and length of the joints
- The number of rooms or windows
A few things move the cost up or down: the old material and how easily it comes out, whether mould needs treating, and whether we need extra access for height. We take all of that into account in your quote.
Asking for a quote
When you call or email, these details help:
- What’s wrong with the joints now
- If it’s domestic, commercial or a hotel
- Photos by email, if that is easy
- Where the job is, and your postcode
If you’re in Dundee and need commercial sealant, send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk. Tell us what the problem is and where, and you will get a clear quote before we start.
Honest limits
Honest advice matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what new sealant won’t do:
- Certifying fire stopping or building compliance
- Failed tanking or loose tiles behind the sealant
- Leaking pipework, valves or wastes (a plumber’s job)
If you’re not sure, just send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Questions from Dundee
Do you work in hotels near Dundee?
Yes, hotels and guest houses are among the places we work. A room-by-room programme keeps most rooms in use while the work goes on.
Do you work for landlords with property near Dundee station?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for. Just email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk with the address and what needs doing, and we will give you a clear price.
Do I need to be at home?
We need access to the joints, so we will agree that with you when we book. Indoors, that generally means someone at home.
Will the old sealant be removed?
Yes. All of the old material is cut out and the joint cleaned before applying anything new.
How long will you be here?
Most jobs take as long as the scope needs, from one welfare room to a full building, including the preparation. Your quote will say how long we expect yours to take.
What information do you need?
A short description and the location. We’ll ask anything else we need to know.
Is it OK to seal over old sealant?
No. We remove every bit of old sealant first.
Can you work outside opening hours?
Early starts and out-of-hours work can be arranged. Tell us what you need when you ask for a quote.
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.
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is.
Keeping the joints in good condition
No joint lasts for ever, but care makes a real difference. A few tips:
- Report broken fans quickly
- Add sealant to your planned maintenance checks
- Don’t leave a failed joint until the next refurbishment
- Use mild cleaners on sealant, not bleach or abrasives
Keep the extraction running and maintained. Where a room has no window, the fan is what dries it out, and that’s what keeps mould away.
It’s easier to plan a programme than to react to failures. Rooms can be scheduled around occupancy and staff, rather than closed at short notice.
What happens on the day
Every visit runs the same way: we check the joints, protect the area around them, carry out the job and clear up. It generally takes anything from a few hours to several days, depending on the number of rooms. Inside a flat in Dundee, the job is planned with you; outside, shared parts may need the factor or other owners involved. Tell us which applies when you book.
- 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.
- We reseal with the right product for each joint.
- Rooms are handed back in order, each with its cure time.
Before we arrive
- Mention any parking rules near the property
- Keep children and pets away from the work area
- Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed
Getting a quote
Every job is quoted individually. Simply email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk and describe the job and send pictures if you have them.
Advice
Common problems we fix in Dundee
Internal washrooms and en suites without a window rely entirely on extraction, so if the fan is weak, steam lingers and the sealant stays damp. That’s when black mould sets into the bead.
People generally contact us after spotting one of these:
- Whole floors of tired en suites
- Mouldy bathrooms flagged at a tenancy check
- Tired sealant ahead of a health and safety audit
- Repeated reseals that don’t last
Managing a site like Scottish School of Contemporary Dance? Then sealant in washrooms, kitchens and changing areas can be renewed around term times or opening hours.
