How a job runs
We follow your site rules from the start: signing in, inductions and any permit to work.

- Anything behind the joints that needs another trade is flagged.
- Old sealant is stripped and the faces prepared.
- We reseal with the grade suited to each area.
- We confirm reopening times for each washroom.

There is public liability insurance behind every job. Our workmanship is guaranteed for 12 months. We work on showers, trays and wet room floors, urinals and WCs and accessible toilets and changing rooms, and the usual reasons a site gets in touch are failed sealant behind washroom basins and complaints from staff, guests or users about tired washrooms. A specialist sealant contractor works differently from a general builder: on jobs in Cornhill, preparation and product choice get the time they need.

Your questions answered
Is Cornhill too far out for you?
No. Small places get the same service as large ones. Every Scottish council area is within our area. Send photos and a list of what needs doing, and we will plan the job to need as few trips as possible.
Will all the washrooms in our Cornhill building be closed at once?
Typically only some of them, for a short time. We work in phases so other facilities stay open. Each area is handed back once the sealant has cured enough to use.
What about RAMS and site documents?
Tell us what site paperwork you need (RAMS, insurance certificate, CSCS details) and we will confirm with the quote.
How long does a typical visit take?
That varies with the scale of the job, though a typical visit usually takes a few hours for one toilet block, with bigger buildings phased across a number of visits. Larger or phased jobs take longer, and we will give you a timescale with the quote.
Can washrooms stay open while you work?
Only the area we are working in is closed. Rooms go back into use once the sealant has cured, then we move on.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. Mastic Doctor is fully insured, public liability included.
Do you offer coloured sealant?
Often, yes. Many products come in a range of standard colours, and matching to RAL references or surrounding finishes is often possible. We confirm what’s available for the specified product when we quote.
When it isn’t the sealant
A proper diagnosis includes knowing what sealant can’t do. You’ll hear from us if the cause turns out to be one of these:
- Mould caused by poor ventilation, which will return until the extract is fixed
- Swollen or delaminated boards behind panels or vanity tops
- Fittings that move too much to hold a bead
Not sure which it is? You can ring 01277 525 020 or use the quote form and we will tell you honestly.
Where we work in Cornhill
- Showers, trays and wet room floors
- IPS panels and cubicles
- Accessible toilets and changing rooms
- Urinals and WCs
- Kitchens and tea points
- Vanity units and basins
Looking after the joints
Sealant joints are maintenance items, and how long they last depends on how they’re treated. Our advice:
- Make sure washroom ventilation is running
- Share your site rules when you send details
- Keep a record of which washrooms need attention
- Brief cleaning staff to treat joints gently
Squeegeeing showers and trays after heavy use helps. Standing water on a joint all day shortens its life.
A few failed joints can be resealed with hardly any disruption. Left, it tends to become a building-wide job and more closures to manage.

What we are called out for in Cornhill
Sometimes the sealant fails because something behind it is moving or wet: loose fixings, a dripping trap or damp in the wall. We look for it before resealing and tell you if another trade is needed.
Any of the following is a good reason to get the joints checked over:
- Resealing that didn’t last because the old bead stayed
- Sealant lifting along a tray edge
- Stained sealant around pans and urinals
- Stained or open joints at kitchen sinks and worktops
Hotels such as Gordon Arms Hotel (to the north of Cornhill) have en suite bathrooms where tired silicone at the bath, tray and basin is replaced room by room.

Commercial washrooms in Cornhill
The east of Scotland, where Cornhill is, gets less rain than the west. Even so, a washroom that doesn’t dry out between uses will see mould get into its sealant.
For a hall at a building such as Ordiquhill And Cornhill Parish Church, resealing the kitchen and toilets can be fitted between bookings. Staff changing rooms and patient toilets at places like Campbell Hospital (4.9 miles north of Cornhill) need cleanable, sound silicone.

Different surfaces, different methods
Basins and vanity tops
Water getting past a vanity top joint can swell the board beneath. Prompt resealing keeps the unit sound.
Showers and trays
If a tray moves too much or is cracked, it needs attention first and we flag that beforehand.
