About our washroom sealing in Burnside
Washroom joints need the right sealant, not whatever is to hand. Sanitary silicone contains additives that resist mould, and neutral-cure versions avoid the damage acetoxy types can do to some metals, stone and mirror backings. In food areas, hygienic or food-safe sealants are used where food contact is possible. We work on vanity units and basins, showers, trays and wet room floors and urinals and WCs, and what we’re called in for most is failed sealant in a tea point or staff kitchen and gaps where vanity tops meet the wall. Searching for sealant specialists in Burnside? We’ve been sealing commercial buildings since 2005.
Around smaller places such as Burnside, washrooms and kitchens are found in hotels, pubs, schools, care homes and halls. Mould grows into sealant in any wet room that doesn’t dry out, and the answer is removal and a fresh bead of anti-mould silicone.
The 12-month guarantee is for workmanship rather than wear and tear. How long a sealant joint lasts depends on movement, exposure, cleaning and use, so we are clear about what is covered before work starts.

Advice
Why it’s worth doing now in Burnside
Open or mouldy joints are hard to keep hygienic which matters most in healthcare, food and education settings. Sound, smooth joints are much easier to keep clean. Around smaller places like Burnside, halls, stores and seasonal buildings may not be checked often, so a failed joint has time to cause damage. Resealing early avoids that.
Cost follows what’s involved: stripping out, preparation, sealing, access and phasing. Call for a quote.
Why appoint us
- One contact handling all your sites
- RAL and finish matching where the product range allows
- Old sealant cut out, never sealed over
- 12 months’ guarantee on every job

Your questions answered
Can you work in a care home near Burnside with residents in?
Yes. We work around residents’ routines, a room or two at a time. Noise and disruption are kept to a minimum.
Can work at a site such as University of Strathclyde fit around teaching?
Yes. Tell us the term dates, vacation periods and access windows, and we’ll plan the work around them. Let us know which documents your site asks for, and we will confirm them alongside the quote.
Does the weather affect the work?
It can, for external work. Sealant won’t bond properly to a wet or frosty joint, so external work may be moved if conditions aren’t right. Internal work is far less affected.
Do you take on multi-site work?
Yes. We take on portfolio and planned maintenance work, planned site by site to suit how each building is used.
Do you have public liability insurance?
Yes. Mastic Doctor is fully insured, public liability included.
How long does a job like this take?
That varies with the scale of the job, though a typical visit normally takes a morning or so for a small washroom, longer where showers and changing rooms are included. For bigger or phased jobs, we will set out a timescale with the quote.
Are you CHAS accredited?
Yes. Mastic Doctor is CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member, which helps with supplier vetting.
Cost factors for washrooms and wet areas
What shapes the price:
- Distance, for remote addresses
- Any access equipment needed
- Backing rod, priming and other preparation

Quantities, awkward access and phased working all shape the price. Site requirements like inductions and permits play a part as well.

Surface by surface
Urinals and WC pans
Joints around urinals and WC pans take splashes, cleaning chemicals and knocks. Stained or split joints here trap smells and make the room look neglected.
Showers and trays
A tray that rocks or has cracked won’t be fixed by sealant and we flag that beforehand.
Wet areas in Burnside’s workplaces
Two care or nursing homes sit less than 2 miles from Burnside. In care settings, wet rooms, assisted bathrooms and en suites rely on clean, sound sealant. Each room is kept out of use only as long as the sealant needs. The west of Scotland, where Burnside is, gets more rain than the east. In a damp climate, washrooms that aren’t well ventilated stay wet for longer, and sealant in a room that never dries out moulds faster.

Do you need washroom sealing in Burnside?
Much of the failed sealant we remove was applied over old silicone or residue. Silicone won’t adhere to a silicone bead, so it soon lets go.
Site and facilities staff are often the first to spot these:
- Open joints along basins and vanity units
- Black mould inside silicone joints that cleaning can’t shift
- Sealant lifting along a tray edge
- Washrooms that look worn because of the sealant
Healthcare estates like New Victoria Hospital, 2.7 miles to the north-west of Burnside, expect contractors to follow their permits and cleaning rules in every washroom.
What your quote should include
