About our washroom sealing in Easthouses
You can’t shut every toilet in an office, school or hotel at once. Work is phased by room or by section, so there are always facilities in use. Give us your site hours and access windows and the phasing is planned around them. If you’re dealing with sealant laid over old silicone and now peeling and failed sealant in a tea point or staff kitchen, we can put it right, whatever the surface. Facilities teams, main contractors and managing agents in Easthouses tend to want the same three things: a clear scope, tidy work and joints that don’t fail again.
Hotels and holiday accommodation in rural Scotland have busy and quiet seasons, so washroom work is often best planned for quieter months.
Our 12-month guarantee is about workmanship, not wear and tear. Sealant wears with time, and movement, weather, cleaning and use decide how fast, so we’re clear about what is covered before work starts.

Commercial clients in Easthouses
Agents, factors and owners’ representatives all follow the same route: send the details, accept a fixed quote, and we carry out and guarantee the work. We can agree access arrangements and keyholder contacts beforehand.
As a CHAS accredited contractor and Constructionline member, we’re straightforward to vet for your supplier list. We’re fully insured, and our insurance certificate can go with the quote.
When something else is needed
A few problems need another trade or a different fix, and we point that out rather than sealing over them:
- Vanity carcasses that have swollen
- Mould caused by poor ventilation, which will return until the extract is fixed
- Failed tanking beneath a wet-room floor or behind tiles
If in doubt, phone 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings and we’ll say what we think.
Joints and surfaces we work on
- IPS panels and cubicles
- Kitchens and tea points
- Vanity units and basins
- Urinals and WCs
- Showers, trays and wet room floors
- Accessible toilets and changing rooms
Signs you need washroom sealing in Easthouses
Mop buckets, trolleys and knocks from users damage joints near the floor, especially at floor edges and around urinals and WC pans.
Any of the following is a good reason to get the joints checked over:
- Mould spotting along silicone joints
- Stained or open joints at kitchen sinks and worktops
- Urinal joints that look unhygienic
- Complaints from staff, guests or users about tired washrooms
Staff changing rooms and patient toilets at places like Midlothian Community Hospital (to the west of Easthouses) need cleanable, sound silicone.
Before you book anyone
- Whether primer will be used where the manufacturer specifies it
- Health and safety accreditation such as CHAS
- How they handle RAMS and site documents
- Will failed sealant be removed rather than covered?
Washroom sealing around Easthouses: points for this area
There are several hotels within about 2 miles of Easthouses. Hotel en suites take daily use, and tired silicone at trays and basins is one of the first things guests notice. The work can go floor by floor, agreed with housekeeping. The east of Scotland, where Easthouses 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.
Office toilets at parks like McSence Business Park (to the south-east of Easthouses) take steady weekday use, and mouldy silicone soon shows. Colleges such as Newbattle Abbey College (to the west of Easthouses) have toilets, changing rooms and catering kitchens that can be resealed around term dates.
Easthouses is about 1 mile south-east of Dalkeith, in Midlothian. Our applicators travel to Easthouses for work on washrooms and wet areas. Easthouses is one of 34 places we cover in Midlothian for washrooms and wet areas. There’s a separate page for Edinburgh, about 8 miles away.

What the job involves on each surface
IPS and cubicle panels
Swollen or delaminated boards need replacing, and any we come across will be pointed out.
Kitchens and tea points
Kitchen joints need to be smooth and sealed so they can be cleaned properly. Food-safe sealants are used where food may touch the joint.
How a job runs
Our CSCS-carded applicators arrive with the sealants, primers and backing rod the job calls for. Joint faces are cleaned back to sound, dry surfaces, primer goes on where the manufacturer specifies it, and each bead is tooled to a neat concave finish. For a building near Easthouses, directions, keys and a contact on the day are worth sorting early. That goes into the plan alongside the quote.
- We agree which washrooms close and when.
- 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.
Getting the site ready
- Tell staff and tenants when we will be in
- Share your working hours and any access restrictions
- Send asbestos survey details if the building is pre-2000

Easthouses: questions and answers
Is Easthouses off your patch?
No. Places such as Easthouses are covered as much as the big towns. We work across every Scottish council area. We plan jobs in smaller places so return trips are kept to a minimum.
Would you work within a site like Midlothian Community Hospital?
Yes. We work in healthcare settings as well as offices and schools. Each area is agreed with the ward or department and the estates team in advance.
What site paperwork can you supply?
Tell us what site paperwork you need (RAMS, insurance certificate, CSCS details) and we will confirm with the quote.
Do you have public liability insurance?
Yes. Mastic Doctor is fully insured, public liability included.
Does the weather affect the work?
For external joints, yes. Sealant needs a dry joint and a temperature within the product’s range, so frost, rain or cold mornings can delay outside work. Internal work is rarely affected.
Do you phase washroom resealing?
Just the room being resealed is out of use. Rooms go back into use once the sealant has cured, then we move on.
How do I request a quote?
It works in four steps: send details, get a quote, we seal, guaranteed. Step one needs little more than photographs and a postcode.
Why it’s worth doing now in Easthouses
Bleaching black sealant may lighten it for a few days, but the mould is rooted in the silicone and comes back. A full reseal deals with it and cleaners stop fighting a losing battle. Around smaller places like Easthouses, halls, stores and seasonal buildings may not be checked often, so a failed joint has time to cause damage. Resealing early avoids that.
No two sites price the same: joint size, product, access and site hours all play a part. A fixed quote follows once we understand the job.
