Surface by surface
Shop-fit and joinery finishes
Retail fit-outs mix many finishes in a small space. Each joint gets a colour that suits the materials it sits between as agreed with the designer.
Natural stone
Sandstone, limestone and granite each have distinct tones. Colour is agreed on site where possible.
How we handle coloured sealant in Dunshalt
A colour-matched bead still has to work as a seal. Each joint is cleaned, backed to depth and tooled firmly onto both faces, with no shortcuts because it’s decorative. Careful masking keeps the edges crisp. If you’re dealing with a run of joints in mismatched shades and old sealant that has yellowed, darkened or faded, we can help. Whether you call it commercial sealant work, mastic application or joint sealing, the work in Dunshalt is the same: the right product in a properly prepared joint.
Around smaller places such as Dunshalt, the commercial buildings tend to be hospitality, local shops, schools, health centres and converted rural buildings. Their kitchens, washrooms and window perimeters all need joints that keep water out.
A 12-month guarantee applies to all our work in Fife. If an installation problem shows up, call 01277 525 020 or email us and we will arrange a return visit.

What sets the cost
These are the things that shape the price:
- Backing rod, priming and other preparation
- Specialist products, such as fire-rated or hygienic sealants
- Quantities, in metres or numbers
- Working within restricted access windows
Pricing colour-matched joints depends on quantities, condition and access, plus any specification you are working to. Call for a quote.
What we need to price the job
It doesn’t need to be a full survey. These details are enough to start:
- Photos of the joints, close up and from further back
- Your programme or deadline
- Anything awkward about access or site hours
- Rough lengths or quantities, or drawings if you have them
If there’s a specification, drawings or a tender package, send it with your enquiry, and we’ll price the work to it. For smaller jobs, photos and a description will do.
Frontages, fit-outs and joints in Dunshalt
Being in the east of Scotland, Dunshalt gets less rain than the west coast. Cold, frosty mornings and condensation on steel and glass can still delay outside work. There are several hotels within about 2 miles of Dunshalt. Hotel refurbishments are where a matched sealant colour earns its place: bathroom, bar and reception joints have to sit with the finishes, and the work can be phased so the rest of the hotel keeps trading.
Offices and shops close to stations such as Ladybank station (to the east of Dunshalt) tend to be busy all day, so sealant work is planned around opening hours. A hotel such as Hollies Hotel (1 mile north-west of Dunshalt) shows how much sealant a hospitality building has on show, from bathroom joints to the bar.

Owners, agents and contractors
If you look after buildings for someone else, clear figures and clear communication matter. You get a fixed quote, an agreed scope and a walk round at the end.
We work for building owners and managing agents on sealant work across single buildings or whole portfolios. One quote can cover more than one site, which keeps the paperwork simple.
Maintenance after handover
Once the work is signed off, these steps help:
- Look at the cured colour before the full run
- Insist on the agreed colour for any repair
- Settle the colour with the designer at the start
- Plan full-run reseals on visible elevations
Keep a record of the product and colour reference used. It makes matching later repairs much easier, avoiding a patchwork.
Use one product and colour reference across a building or brand. Consistency makes future work simpler and easier to manage.

FAQs: Dunshalt
Do hotels near Dunshalt have to close for sealant work?
Almost never. The work is phased so most rooms stay available. We agree the order of rooms and the timings with you before we start.
Can the sealant on our Dunshalt premises match the finishes?
Yes. Colour matching to frames, cladding, stone and shop-fit finishes is a regular part of the work. The quote lists the colours the product is made in.
Do you have public liability insurance?
Yes. Mastic Doctor is fully insured, public liability included.
Do you guarantee your work?
Yes, for 12 months. If our installation fails in that time, we return and fix it.
What hours do you work?
The office is staffed Monday to Friday, from 8am until 5pm. Tell us your site hours and access windows and the work will be fitted around them.
What’s the quickest route to a quote?
There are four steps: send details, receive a fixed quote, we carry out the work, and it’s guaranteed. The first step only needs photos and a postcode.
Is it fine to apply new sealant on top of old?
No. Failed sealant is removed and the faces cleaned back to sound, dry material first, because fresh silicone will not bond with aged silicone.
When something else is needed
A few problems need another trade or a different fix, and we say so rather than covering them up:
- Colour variation across natural stone or brick that no single shade can match
- Cleaning or repairing the surrounding finishes
- Exact bespoke colour matches beyond the product’s range
Not sure which it is? You can ring 01277 525 020 or email us and we’ll tell you honestly.
